Palmer and Harvey offers one of the most flexible symbol schemes available.

With the retail industry at its most competitive yet, it has never been a more important time to ensure that your store meets your consumers' standards – be that image, product range or store layout.  Whether you are looking for a full shop refit or simply want the support to ensure you are maximising your store’s profitability, Palmer and Harvey Symbol can deliver the expertise you need.

 

The Palmer and Harvey symbol concept has been developed to provide for all kinds of store types and sizes. Our CTN package SUPERSHOP sits nicely for stores that offer an impulse range, and range from 500 to 1000 sq ft. Those sites that sit on a forecourt will suit the MACE EXPRESS format, whilst full convenience outlets should opt for MACE. Whatever your business, Palmer and Harvey offers the TOTAL package:

 

 

Total supply

As the UK’s number one delivered wholesaler, Palmer and Harvey can provide complete supply of all the goods you need for a successful store.  From ambient goods including tobacco, confectionery and soft drinks through to fresh, chilled and frozen produce – we’re the one-stop-shop.  And because we have unlimited access to data on what products do and don’t sell, we’ll even give you a helping hand selecting the right range for your type of store.

 

Total guidance

From day one we will project-manage your transition with our store design service. This will allow us to first complete a trading profile and calculate which product categories should be allocated the most profit earning space. From this analysis we can work out if any shop fitting is needed and get your shelves merchandised correctly based on our geo-demographic assessment. Finally, it’s time to put up your shiny new fascia and window graphics which will let everyone know you mean business.

 

Total support

To ensure you get all the help you need to grow your business, as well as a four-weekly visit from your local Palmer and Harvey representative, you will also receive additional business development support and advice from a Symbol Area Manager.  The Palmer and Harvey Head Office team will continually help you review your product range and merchandising techniques together with our award-winning planogram programme to further maximise your sales.

 

Total promotions

All members benefit from a three-weekly exclusive consumer promotions programme, with free professional point of sale and up to 500 consumer leaflets free of charge to help you drive footfall and boost your sales.

 

Total technology

Installing EPoS in your store can seem like a big investment, but with an average increase in profitability of 3%, it can easily pay for itself.  YP Electronic's SiNQUA system takes the guesswork out of stock control, payroll and purchasing, putting you firmly in control and leaving you more time to concentrate on developing your business.

 

Total reward

Palmer and Harvey Symbol offers a financial incentive loyalty scheme, providing you with even more reason to stock the top sellers.

 

Total transparency

Palmer and Harvey Symbol offers one of the most transparent packages in the market. Membership fees start from as little as £35 per week – no marketing fees, no delivery fees and no advertising charges
