Discover and apply the most efficient promotion tactics

Looking to improve the ROI of your trade promotions by tens of percentages? Ensure your promotional activity is aligned with the target outcome.

Choosing the optimal activity

Finding the right promotional activities needed to reach your targets can be challenging. Often you may end up repeating the past mistakes.

Is a 20% discount better than three for the price of two? Or should you invest in visibility in-store instead of offering deep discounts? Mass displays or endcap? Or would you be better off investing in retailer medias?

The right answer to these questions may depend on the brand and the store environment, as well as on your business targets.

The tooling you need

Basic promotion reports are not usually enough for discovering the best promotion tactics. This is often because many tactics are applied at the same time and analyzing every variation manually simply isn’t feasible.

Two types of tools can help you on this quest. With A² Trade Promotion Insights you can review the performance of large number of different promotions. This helps you recognize different patterns in promotion results.
The AI-based forecasting algorithms and intelligent recommendations in A² Trade Promotion Optimization allow you to simulate promotion performance using different tactics. The solution also helps you compile fact-based argumentation for the winning option that you can communicate towards retailers and stores.

Close connection with your CRM solutions ensures efficient execution of the promotion.

Collaboration across the organization

Discovering the best promotion tactics is a cross-functional task between sales, marketing and often also finance departments. To reach the full potential, you need to be ready to allocate funding across organizational units. For example, from in-store marketing materials to deeper discounts, or vice versa.
