Product Allocation
Product Allocation Procedures
Once a product has been listed, it is then allocated to our stores. The process is frequently reviewed to ensure we are allocating the right product to the right store to satisfy the Idaho consumer.
The ISLD allocates all products based on two criteria: product profile and retail store profile.
Product Profile
The product profile is based on how the product fits the Idaho consumers’ current trends and past buying history for that type of product.
Type of product:
- Category; i.e. domestic whiskey
- Various sub segment of categories; i.e. age, single barrel/small batch
- Subcategories; i.e. flavored whiskey
- Size; i.e. 1750ml, 1000ml, 750ml, 375ml, 200ml and 50ml
