    Type Description Example
    Trade allowances An allowance provides the business with cash or merchandise incentives for featuring a brand, product, or service in a special way. There are also allowances for the trade creating and featuring displays of a manufacturer’s products or services (called a display allowance). A manufacturer may offer another company an advertising or IMC monetary allowance for advertising the manufacturer’s products.
    Trade contests Contests offered by manufacturers to intermediaries as well as retail salespeople and retail stores to motivate them to increase their sales performance over a given period. A manufacturer offers an expense paid trip to the top salesperson for a chain of retail stores the manufacturer sells to.
    Trade incentives The retailer performs a function in order to receive certain funds. A retailer must feature a company’s products in its weekly circular to receive a 10% discount on its next order.
    Trade shows (and conventions) Trade shows are large events that bring together many sellers to showcase their products or services. The National Show for Pet Retailers is a trade show held in Las Vegas, NV.
    Sponsorships A company pays for all or a portion of an event in exchange for recognition. Adidas agrees to be one of the sponsors for the Olympic games. In exchange, the Adidas logo is placed on all Olympic marketing material.
    Price-off During a specific period of time, discounts are given on products offered. A manufacturer gives a 25% discount to a retailer who buys swimsuits for three stores.
    Free products Free cases of products are offered to the trade if certain quantities of a product or service are purchased. Many times manufacturers want the trade to offer a particular product style, flavor, size, etc. In these instances, free products are used as a promotion tactic. A free case of soda is given to a retailer for every 10 cases purchased.
    Specialty advertising Low-cost items that carry the company name, brand name, or some other type of information are given to trade customers (and often to consumers), such as pens at banks. Flash drives, memo books, pens, laser pointers, tote bags, stress balls, and even t-shirts may be used as part of a specialty advertising program
