3.8. Read and translate text 3b and define if the statements below the text are true or false. Text 3b Methods Used By Wholesalers To Increase Sales
Wholesalers sell mainly to the smaller shops which have become less important because they cannot compete with the lower prices charged by retailers such as chain stores. Wholesalers have tried to increase their own trade by helping the small shop to charge lower prices. This has been done in two main ways (a) voluntary chains and (b) cash-and-carry warehouses.
A voluntary chain, e. g. VG, Spar, Mase, is made up of a number of small shops, usually grocers, who agree to buy most of their supplies from a certain wholesaler who runs the chain. The wholesaler can then buy in greater bulk from the manufacturer at a lower price.
Small shops belong to a voluntary chain because they can buy goods more cheaply from the wholesaler running the chain. Goods can be bought carring the chain's own brand name. Small shops can benefit from the advertising carried out by the chain. Loans can be obtained from the chain for modernizing a shop.
A cash-and-carry warehouse does not offer credit or delivery and the warehouse is run like a supermarket with self-service and check-outs.
Small shops buy from cash-and-carry warehouses because prices are lower as the wholesaler now does not provide credit or transport and so has fewer expenses. Shopkeepers can collect goods and do not have to wait for deliveries.
