Need a margin makeover? NCG has developed a new variable margin management tool to assist co-ops seeking to adjust their applied margins to be more competitive on price. The tool will help you:
- Evaluate current applied gross margin goals against a set of suggested applied margin targets (established by NCG by reviewing pricing for natural and conventional supermarkets)
- Identify categories that need attention in order to improve price perception and retail competitiveness.
For more information, including how to request the tool, visit the variable margin management tool page.
