Promotion effectiveness

What it does for you

The impact of promotions on buying behavior is often captured by scanner data; where the success of a promotion is measured by the uptake in volume of that product. As there are many different types and depths of promotions (e.g. percentage discount, buy more pay less, mix and match etc.), it is almost impossible to determine the “optimal promotion”, since each promotion has to be implemented in real-life before one can compare its success. In addition, the impact of external factors (e.g. competitor actions, competitive products on sale) cannot be taken out of the equation, making it very hard to compare.

Helping you answer questions like

• Which promotions are perceived as highest value for money by consumers?
• What is the best promotional proposition per channel/HH segmentation?
• Which promotion delivers the highest volume uplifts?
• What type/depth of promotion should be used to win back “disloyal shoppers” and restore the price-value equation?
