Sales Contest for Lance/Tom’s Distributors

BNR Global will award Metal Display units to 2 distributors to reward their sales efforts. These attractive, sturdy steel units are ideal merchandising aids.

The Rules are Simple: 1.) All entrants must have had any combination of Lance, Tom’s or Don Pablo’s products shipped to them from January 1, 2008 thru February 29, 2008. The total value of the shipments during this period will be the basis for comparison. 2.) The total value of shipments made during the period from April 1, 2008 thru May 31, 2008 will determine the winners. One winner will be selected based on increase in dollar volume. The distributor with the greatest increase wil be awarded two metal display units. A second winner will be awarded one display unit based upon percentage increase in rate of sales. A single distributor may not win in both categories. Winners will be announced on June 5, 1008. Their awards will be shipped with their next orders.

Point of Sale Marketing Contest

BNR Global wants its importers/distributors to be successful and encourages them to develop their own local point of sale marketing aids (like shelf-talkers, etc.).  We also believe that the sharing of marketing ideas will benefit all of our distributors.  Our distributor in Curacao has already developed its own Lance shelf talker.

We have decided to sponsor a contest with a $US100.00 cash award to the distributor who submits the best point of sale marketing aid for Lance products.  The contest will run through June 10th.  The winner will be announced on June 16th.  All entries will be shared with all current Lance distributors. 

Submit your entries in pdf file format to info@bnrglobal.com  You can copy and paste from www.bnrglobal.com or www.lancesnacks.com or ask for particular files and we will email them to you if we have them.

Tom’s Bugles are most Popular

Tom’s Bugles are the favorites among islanders in the Caribbean for the new Tom’s export line supported and owned by Lance, Inc.  Typically Lance and Tom’s are shipped together to most markets.  Have you tried the Tom’s Nacho Cheese Bugles?  They are delicious.  Of course the entire line is great and at a good price. 

Rap Snacks Take Off in Jamaica

Rap Snacks are doing very well in Jamaica.  We placed our first test order 4 weeks ago and the shelves are almost empty.  We will be ordering now by the container-load.  This is a product that works.  We recommend these chips and cheese curls for Caribbean Markets.  Click here for more information on how to import from the islands.

Honeybuns from USA easy to export

I just found out that the Duchess Honeybuns from BNR Global are easy to purchase if you buy at least 1 x 20 FCL load at a time.  Worried about dating when you receive them?  Don’t worry.  Just flash freeze them all and then thaw them out as you need them in the market.  Since they will have no dating on them when you purchase them, you can place a 30 day sticker or stamp on them after they thaw.

Tom’s and Lance together

We have started importing Lance Snacks and Tom’s Snacks together.  What a great combination.  It is very cost effective and what Lance does not have, Tom’s has (and vice-versa).  In addition Lance has added its meat jerky line and Don Pablo’s Salsa and Tortilla Chip line.  This is a great line of snacks for any importer in any market. 

We import through BNR Global as they are the exporter for Lance and Tom’s in the Caribbean.
