Increase the profitability of trade promotions

Most of the time more promotions do not equal more profits

Too many to handle profitably?

Running promotions at a loss? Cutting down the unprofitable ones sounds like solid advice, but often things are not that straightforward. Retailers are expecting you to do at least as many promotions as you did last year, and you might even struggle to know which promotions are losing money instead of generating profit.
