> CVS pays you to stock their product on their shelves
Most retail works exactly the opposite - the manufacturer pays the retailer significant fees for shelf space.
- nsnick 8y agoThere is even a word for it "slotting fees"
- subpixel 8y agoYes, but even accounting for those fees, retailers still pay brands to stock their products. Meanwhile on Amazon, brands pay Amazon to feature their products. Then they pay Amazon to stock/fulfill their products (FBO). Then they pay Amazon to feature their products (promotions). Amazon is in a heads-I-win, tails-you-lose position vis-a-vis brands.
