A critical channel for influencing purchase decisions at the moment of choice
Smollan helps our clients win across physical retail channels by ensuring availability, visibility and experiential excellence. Turning stores into consistent, high-performing growth engines across markets and formats.
Modern Trade
Encompasses structured, large-scale retail environments such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, department stores, and organised retail chains. These channels demand disciplined execution, data-driven decision-making, and consistent brand standards across wide store networks.
Smollan helps brands win in modern trade by optimising shelf presence, ensuring compliance, improving on-shelf availability, and delivering insight-led execution that drives sales performance at scale.
Traditional Trade
Includes smaller, independently owned outlets such as local stores, kiosks, informal markets, and street vendors. These channels are often highly fragmented and relationship-driven, yet they remain essential for reaching consumers in many regions and emerging markets.
We enable brands to succeed in traditional trade through deep local expertise, tailored execution models, and field teams that build trust, extend reach, and drive consistent availability in hard-to-reach environments.
Distributive Trade
A route-to-market model where a brand appoints a third-party distributor to manage sales, storage, and delivery within a defined territory or customer base. Success in this channel depends on strong partnerships, operational discipline, and clear visibility across the value chain.
Smollan works alongside brands and distributors to enhance execution quality, improve data transparency, and ensure brand standards are upheld throughout the distribution network.
On Trade
Foodservice and hospitality environments where products are prepared, served, and consumed on-site. This includes hotels, restaurants, cafés, catering operations, bars, pubs, entertainment venues, and leisure destinations. These settings play a vital role in brand experience and trial.
We deliver on-trade success through tailored activation, trained brand representatives, and execution models that influence choice, build preference, and elevate brand presence in social and experiential consumption moments.
DIGITAL RETAIL
Digital retail is no longer just a sales channel, it is a critical ecosystem for visibility, engagement, and growth
