Our services

Each and every one of the services provided by PCP can be adapted to the needs and distribution of all our clients and their products.

Supervision

Supervision is the core management task carried out by PCP. This comprises:
- Helping to introduce brands and lines at all points-of-sale in every appropriate point of sales.
- Establishing and maintaining a good brand relationship with the management staff of each centre.
- Brand policy implementation and follow-up.
- Recommending assortments suited to each point of sales.
- Recommending and introducing new references to airport product managers.
- Follow-up of new implementations.
- Stock control at each POS.
- Tailoring orders in accordance with the brand's envisaged schedule of events, e.g., launchings and/or special promotions.
- Working alongside the company's other executives in recruiting and selecting staff.
- Supporting the training of new recruits, both in sales techniques adapted to the product to be marketed and in matters concerning the POS.
- Follow-up and control of sales staff.
- Follow-up and control of promotional activities at the POS.

Sales promoters

We offer our clients the possibility of having a promoter, whether on an exclusive basis or shared with another brand. For budget reasons, clients cannot always invest in an exclusive promoter, and so sharing with another brand affords them the chance of having a more sizeable presence at a given airport or at all airports as a whole.

We keep a reserve list of suitable candidates, which enables us to respond very quickly to any need, whether it is for a fifteen-day promotion or a permanent post. Needless to say, we also take care of all of the administrative work, including contracts, airport-access cards, AVSEC courses, risk prevention at each airport POS, goods-handling courses, MPEs and so on. Furthermore, each and every one of our promoters wears a Grupo PCP uniform.

We are proud to report a particularly low staff turnover. What this means is that, not only have we stood by and been correct in our choice of personnel during the selection process, but it also reinforces the “family” spirit and commitment that is so much a part of Grupo PCP, as well as the emphasis placed on the highest level of knowledge of the products being sold and of each airport's operations and needs.
