The challenge with Trade Promotions
Promotions can be a highly effective way of driving volume, particularly when aligned to events in the calendar year or in conjunction with loyalty schemes. But, executing the right promotional plan is a challenge for consumer brands. The fast-paced, competitive environment, alongside the ever-changing needs of the consumer mean that often, promotional strategies fail to deliver return on investment. Attempts to clearly communicate with customers can get lost in the crowd.
Are you suffering with these frustrations too?

Through our analysis, we can help you to answer a variety of questions to effectively grow the business:
What is the right base price for our products?
What does an ideal promo calendar look like?
What are the optimal mechanics and displays?
What is the optimal funding approach?
How can our brands co-exist?

Our approach to promotion optimisation follows four key phases:
01

Gathering of core financials and running of interviews to better understand the business, vision & current position
02
