Planning the best route to market with Trade Promotion Management
With world events occurring over the past few years, Consumer Products Manufacturers have seen a dramatic shopper shift from brick-and-mortar retail to ecommerce. While some manufacturers have responded to this shift more quickly, others are struggling to catch up.
In his session at the most recent CPG Matters® virtual LEAD Marketing Conference, Joel Cartwright of Vistex, explained how the CP Manufacturer has to make a huge decision about the second largest line item on the P&L. Where do you invest trade spend for promotional strategy – ecommerce, traditional brick-and-mortar, or both? Joel defines evaluation strategies and analytic factors to determine the best route to market.
