2015 Christmas/New Year Moratorium
Foodstuffs
Posted: 14 September 2015
With peak season planning well underway we wish to seek your
customary support with our proposed List Price/New Product
Moratorium.
We request your assistance in planning your list price changes
and product launches to occur outside the moratorium periods and as
usual confirm the price moratorium does not apply to the normal
mutually agreed promotional pricing.
For products implementing excise changes during the proposed
moratorium period, special arrangements will be notified directly
to the trading partners concerned.
List price adjustments
Our price adjustment moratorium will commence on Monday
23rd November 2015 and run through until Sunday
31st January 2016 inclusive.
- This
means the last effective date for changes is Monday 16th November
2015 and first effective date post the moratorium is Monday
1st
February
2016.
- The
latest date to confirm any pricing adjustments for 2015 is Friday
2nd
October
2015, allowing the standard 6 weeks lead time for implementation
prior to the moratorium period taking effect.
New product introductions
The new product introduction moratorium will commence on Monday
30th November 2015 and run through until Sunday
10th January 2016 inclusive.
- This
means the last effective date for listing is Monday 23rd November
2015, and first effective date post the moratorium, Monday
11th
January
2016.
If new products are launched to the market during the proposed
moratorium period, we request you approach the individual
Foodstuffs businesses for special review and consideration.
Your partnership support so far this year has been
greatly appreciated and we wish you good luck and great trading
over the peak Christmas trading period!
