French term

Argumentaires de gamme en distribution

French to English Marketing Cosmetics, Beauty Press kit
Hello,
This comes from a press kit for a new paper scent technology. The extract comes from a list of its possible applications.
Argumentaires de gamme en distribution.
I gather that "argumentaires" are sales arguments. I'm thinking that it probably means "sales arguments for different ranges for distribution" (to points of sale) Would be grateful for some confirmation on this,
thanks,
Anne
All help gratefully received,
Anne

promotional sales leaflets or flyers

"argumentaires" can refer to sales blurbs or sales leaflets as well as sales pitches.
As your text seems to refer to uses for this perfumed paper I suspect here it is suggesting its use in actual leaflets.
I don't think we would refer to the 'ranges' here as much as to the fact that these leaflets are promoting sales (of a range would be understood)
I hope that helps
Note from asker:
Yes writeaway, I found it in my dictionaries too, I never post a question without doing research first. However, when one is on unfamiliar territory, it doesn't make sense just to blindly enter what you have found in a dictionary, as context can make a big difference.
Peer comment(s):

agree writeaway : confirmed by ordinary Fr-En dictionaries (argumentaire is in all mine in any case)

thanks, writeway
agree Tony M : I wondered if the 'distribution' doesn't mean 'retail' here (i.e. to the general public)?

Thanks, Tony, I kind of assumed that too, perhaps it isn't reflected in my translation by "sales" but that was my intention :-)
agree Chris Hall
