LIQUIDATION OPTIONS
Most brands liquidate through Tier 2 or Secondary Channels. This is where CPGsurplus does its best work for you.
LIQUIDATION THROUGH SECONDARY CHANNELS
The Secondary Channel is replete with independents who have been in operation for 25+ years – wholesalers and retailers.
It is a fragmented space requiring most CPG brands to place their trust in wholesalers to channel their product to consumers through surplus retailers.
WHOLESALERS
Purchase roughly 80% of all excess/short coded product from CPG brands
Two companies own 50% of this market; one in Quebec, one in Ontario
Balance of wholesale shared by 10-15 other companies, including CPGsurplus
Pros of selling to Wholesalers
- Volume: purchase large quantities (see cons for why they can buy volume)
- Less internal resources required to manage: fewer orders, shipments, invoices, etc
- Less financial risk: most pay well
Cons of selling to Wholesalers
- The bad ones, who have been around for a long time
-
- Sell into tier 1 channels, primarily franchisee run grocery stores in Ontario and Quebec.
- Route product into the US
- Pay lower prices, typically 20-40% less than retail buyers
RETAILERS
Purchase roughly 20% of all excess/short coded product direct from CPG brands, the balance of product is purchased through wholesalers
40+ retailers in this space – all independent from Tier 1 banners
4 banners combined own 30% share, each with 60+ locations. The balance each have between 1 and 15 locations.
Pros of selling to Retailers
- Higher return then selling to wholesalers
- No risk of product being diverted to Tier 1 channels
- No risk of product being diverted to US or international markets
Cons of selling to Retailers
- Highly fragmented space
-
- Process high number of orders, shipments, deliveries, etc
- Greater financial risk
