Merchandising
Layman Distributing utilizes plan-o-grams to assist in the reset of every
category within a C-Store. We publish a quarterly Top 25 list to ensure
that our customers are carrying the top selling items in the industry.
Our Sales Team—using this list and our monthly new items listings—
work with our customers to eliminate any obsolete or discontinued
items. Additionally, our dedicated merchandising and sales teams will
replace any discontinued item tags with new item tags.
A Leader in Convenience Store Programs
Your customers live a hurried, complicated life. They want simplicity,
convenience, good service and reliability. Most of all, they want
product. Layman Distributing specializes in creating customized retail
and point-of-sale programs that build and maintain repeat business.
Many of our manufacturers offer free or low-cost equipment, accruals
or other such incentives to keep your investment low. See what we
can do for your business through these programs:
Improve Product Visibility, Traffic and Margins
Product diversification and proper placement are the
keys to winning in any competitive market. That’s why
our product offerings and point-of-sale experiences are
second to none. Layman Distributing stocks the brands
that sell and helps you move merchandise through
creative retail practices. Our staff publishes a monthly
newsletter full of promotional ideas, new items, and
product placement strategies that will ensure your
shelves get noticed. Let us do the work for you!
And since we maintain long-established relationships
with leading suppliers, we can leverage those
agreements to provide the best wholesale prices on the
market. We’ll keep your shelves stocked while watching
your bottom line.
Foodservice
We go above and beyond your typical roller
grill hot dog program when it comes to
foodservice. At Layman, we carry anything
from the finest steaks and fresh chicken to
deli meats and cheeses. We have all of your
foodservice essentials when it comes to
servicing your restaurant or deli.
