According to Hunn, this little promotion in a relatively low trafficked part of the store soon blossomed into a major deal, because of the newly expanded scope of the promotion. WalMart executives were convinced that if consumers were enticed by a gallon of pickles at $2.97 in the Food Service section, then they would be even more enticed if the promotion was moved to an end aisle. In fact, Wal-Mart buyers saw the one-gallon jar as the “customer stopper” they wanted. The product was to be a special feature that was showcased in end stacks near or at the front of the stores. At the agreed upon price of $2.97, the jar would yield only one or two cents per jar for Vlasic. At this lower cost, Wal-Mart could price the jar at $2.97, leaving no more than a few cents profit per gallon jar for Wal-Mart as well. However, Hunn secured the deal with one proviso—all gallon-jar orders would have to be tied to a corresponding order of grocery sized items. As another control measure, the total number of cases that Vlasic would sell to Wal-Mart was established at the start of the fiscal year as part of the normal planning process.
