Retailer P&L Mirror

Model the retailer's P&L as well as your own — the basis for every trade-term negotiation with actual leverage.

The Hook

The Hook

The retailer makes more money on your brand than you do — and you cannot fix that until you can model their P&L as well as your own.

In many FMCG categories, the retailer's back-end margin (on-invoice and off-invoice combined) runs 60–65% of the total value chain margin on a branded SKU. Front margin, trade terms, shelf-space economics, category-captain bonuses — each line affects whether the retailer fights for your brand or your competitor's. The Retailer P&L Mirror is the simulator that shows you exactly how your Trade Terms decisions flow into the retailer's own profit structure, which is how you negotiate with actual leverage rather than guesswork.
