WKZ, Konditionen, NLZ — if those abbreviations mean nothing to you, this episode will change that.

Jan Wapelhorst breaks down the three layers of trade spend in German retail: base price, conditions, and the infamous Werbekostenzuschuss. Including the 200,000-euro WKZ trap that catches even experienced brands, and why conditions are not just financial mechanics but annual power instruments.
