General Trade
General trade is around 90% of the overall retail market, and includes conventional Kirana shops, general stores, convenience stores, mom-&-pop stores, paan-beedi shops and other small retail outlets situated near residential areas
Whether you sell food, beverages, cosmetics, and cleaning products, or any other type of CPG product, the basics remain the same. Even the market positioning of the product does not interfere with the basics of selling.
In many countries, General Trade (or Traditional Trade) remains a major source of revenue for companies. It is thus extremely important to ensure that appropriate strategic initiatives are taken to drive desired output from this channel.
