Description
Understand precisely the financial impact of trade promotions and discover ways to allocate resources more effectively. For major consumer goods firms, managing trade promotions represents the second largest expense, often surpassing 15% of their total revenue. Sadly, numerous companies continue to face challenges in evaluating the return on investment for these promotions. Cognizant offers solutions to address this issue. To achieve accurate effectiveness modeling, it is essential to examine data from various sources, including point-of-sale systems, syndicated data providers, and internal sales, marketing, and operational data. Our consulting services in trade promotions management (TPM) and trade promotions optimization (TPO), along with our offerings in process re-engineering and solution selection, enable you to systematically assess ROI, allowing for better-informed future decisions. Additionally, Cognizant has developed C-Smart, an analytics tool specifically designed for brand management and category management teams within consumer goods organizations, which delivers actionable insights into aspects like the performance of new product launches, brand positioning across different categories, the success of promotions, and competitive landscape analysis. By leveraging these insights, companies can enhance their strategic planning and drive more profitable outcomes.
Description
Imagine being able to monitor the effectiveness of your various promotions in almost real-time; this is achievable with ScanApps' consumption-based validation services. These services empower brands to strategically allocate and adjust their promotional budgets based on verified outcomes. Rather than indiscriminately increasing spending across all promotions, you can direct funds toward those that yield the best results. Additionally, they offer actionable insights to enhance the efficiency of your trade expenditure. Reports can uncover issues like improper merchandising and inadequate performance metrics. Audits can be conducted on individual trade events or across all events for one or multiple distribution partners, whether on a regional or national scale. With a straightforward and cost-effective pricing model, you can save money and reinvest it into upcoming trade initiatives. This approach not only enhances the transparency of your trade spending but also allows you to compare your pass-thru efficiency and pinpoint your least effective retailers and wholesalers. Ultimately, you can validate deductions and improve your overall promotional strategy. By utilizing these insights, you position your brand for greater success in the competitive marketplace.
