Brands must routinely make multiple pricing and promotion strategy decisions across their portfolio for different products and categories. In order to do this while achieving a positive impact on margins and revenue, they need the ability to determine the influence of pricing and promotion initiatives on sales. Some of the typical questions they must answer are:

Pricing

  • What will be the impact if we were to increase or decrease price?
  • Is there a specific price point we should target?
  • How should we price against competitors?
  • When competitors decrease their price, do we always need to follow suit?
  • What is the most appropriate pricing strategy?

Promotions

  • What is the ideal depth of promotions?
  • What is the source of volume when our items are promoted?
  • Are there opportunities to increase or decrease price promotional frequency?
  • How are my promotions impacting competitors?
  • How effective are non-price promotions such as free gifts, bundle packs and multi-buy?
