CALCULATION

Together with the customer, we develop individually adapted calculation models that take into account the special features of seafood products such as currency fluctuations, fluctuating purchase prices and different forms of spoilage. We use techniques such as rolling purchase prices and flexible calculation surcharges.

MARKET RESEARCH

Knowing what the end consumer but also the retail buyer think about a product is important information that we collect, process and interpret discreetly for our customers. Furthermore, we compile primary and secondary statistical analyses for our customers.

MARKET ANALYSIS

The size of the sales market, existing value-added chains and the prices paid there, the identification of potential customers and much more we make available to our customers, nationally and internationally. In addition, we also prepare neutral expert opinions and “Independent Marketing Reports” for EMFF grant applications.

CONCEPTS

Together with our clients, we develop tailor-made concepts for purchasing, sales and marketing, which take into account the product, the markets and the individual situation of the vendor. We do this with our many years of experience and our good overview of the German-speaking and international seafood markets.

SEMINARS

With an experience of far more than 150 seafood seminars for employees working at fish counters, managers, purchasers in retail and wholesale and end consumers, together with our customers we develop seminar solutions tailored to their needs and also conduct these seminars. Because in the end it is usually the well-trained staff that makes the difference to the competition.
