That's a great question I'm not sure what the answer is, as a marketing major, I'm ashamed to admit that. I know that shelfing is very important - eye level items are typically more expensive then the items below or above. Eye level items are usually the most popular too - Id imagin that heinz ketsup is placed higher on the shelf compared to Hunts.

I believe the answer is basically NO to the question though b/c the supermarket wants the shelves to continually be restocked (or wants the items sold quickly) and if you have to pay them to shelve it that may raise a red flag. That being said I would not be suprised if newer items whether new companies or existing companies promoting new products would offer a commission or a kickback if they stock their product in a 'hot spot'

Yes - paying shelf space or slotting is a well known practice.

It can be as much as $25,000 per item.

See the following article "Supermarket Space is Pricey; Some Say Shelf Fees Limit Competition" by Dinah Cardin

They certainly do. These fees are for the allocation of shelf space to their products, as well as for other consideration, and are called slotting fees. For example, some companies pay supermarkets a slotting fee to be the lowest priced supplier in their category.

Some slotting fees are amazingly significant. For example, the national candy companies pay the supermarkets thousands of dollars an inch sometimes to get their candies there at the check out line, where you always see them.

The way to get products into the store is to pay, you would pay even more to get them in a place that is "marketable." This however causes problems, shelf space fees limits competition, which in turn drive up every day prices for the consumer. The website below is a great find for your report.

The main problem of almost every trader is the thoughts that trading is game or it's easy money. Before profitable trading you should learn a lot about this field. So, even don't try to trade with real money. You can learn how to make real money from this course ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) Second, you should choose the right broker. There are some brokers that plays against their own clients. So, your main goal - find good broker. Third, yo can generate more profits with automated trading software. As you maybe know, there is a lot of different scammers on trading market so it will be hard to find really profitable trading system. That strategy brings me a lot of money every month, all thanks to the course that I posted above. Hope you will follow my recommendations, bye!
