FFD gains due to a positive growth in mark eting valuation reserve due to the promotion. For the retailer, the benefit will be on account of the increased spending by FFD for promotional activities.

The price on the box of the product should not be reduced and instead a discount must be offered at the time of billing. The retailer should then be reimbursed for the discounts offered to customers. This would help retain the premium positioning of FFDs products and avoid customers from looking at the products to be available at a grass during subsequent purchases.
