Solving the Over-Promotion Conundrum
The right promotion will drive excitement to your stores, create traffic from new and familiar faces, boost sales and increase unit movement. That same promotion can also cannibalize more profitable private label, attract cherry-picking consumers, and dip into valuable vendor funds unnecessarily. How do retailers determine where the line is between over and under-promotion of your merchandise?
This webinar will reveal the ingredients to solving the over-promotion conundrum, including:
- The root cause of promotion excess
- The right items to promote
- The depth of promotion necessary
- The impact to non-promoted items
- The analysis necessary to know better for the future
The speakers will explore use of promotion planning and optimization solutions, as well as review actual retail best-practices. Bring your notepad, as this session promises to deliver key takeaways for your future ads and promotions.

Achieve Goals; Reduce Risk in 2010 with Scenario Planning
The Scene: Your budget and goals are in place for 2010. Senior Management’s goal of gaining 2% on the bottom line looks great on paper, but it’s a mine-field of risk when it comes to pushing the right levers to achieve success. Should you change your pricing strategy? Attack the competition? Promote less? Shift your category focus? Which scenario spells success versus disaster?
Scenario Planning solutions, designed to leverage consumer-demand intelligence, are popular because they remove the risk from executing a new business scenario. They predict, in advance, how your customers will react to a proposed strategy shift – well before a new price tag hits your sales floor. Retail professionals can use this predictive forecast to compare different scenarios and select the right one based on predicted consumer response.
Attend this webinar to learn just how optimization-based scenario planning can remove the risk from executing your 2010 plan. Our speakers will review forecasting examples, tactics for reviewing categories, and how to best leverage available analytics.
