Attention ASG store owners and managers:
As we strive for your retail success, ASG aims to secure suppliers and services that enhance your stores' operational success, cost efficiency and profitability.
In response to the rising expenses imposed on ASG because of increased costs of transportation, logistics, supply chain labor, and government tolls and fees, ASG will implement a "Transportation & Logistics Surcharge" beginning February 16, 2024. This surcharge, set at $18 per stop for all C&S deliveries, will be reflected in your weekly statement. It is important to note that this $18 fee represents only a fraction of the actual transportation cost, as ASG is committed to subsidizing a significant portion of this expense for the stores.
Our dedicated team has collaborated closely with C&S to navigate and mitigate these cost increases, aiming to minimize the impact on your business, protect your retail and profit margins, and ensure continued competitiveness in the marketplace. Additionally, our pricing team is actively fine-tuning suggested retails to enhance your margins with the end consumer, maintaining a delicate balance between profitability and competitiveness.
Thank you for your understanding and continued partnership with ASG. Together, we can reach sustainable success in this dynamic retail landscape.
Please reach out to Francisco Nieves, VP of Sales, 551-247-7948 or Ken Scher, SVP of Business Development, 201-819-1289 should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
The ASG Management Team
