India is a unique country with fragmented trade channels. Over 4 million retail outlets exist across the country. These outlets often wield significant influence in the consumer decision. Often, normal one-on-one sales efforts are not sufficient to influence these customers.

Customer (trade) marketing not only creates short term impact in distribution and sales, but also positions the brand for the future by creating motivating tactics that actively involve the consumer.
