Plan and Execute Profitable Promotions

How Low Should You Go?

A steady diet of well-conceived, well planned and executed promotions is an essential element of retail success. Retailers know they create heightened interest and provide a call to action for shoppers.

Determining the right discounts on the right items has evolved from an instinctive art to a science-based planning process that leverages the Machine Learning capabilities built into Clear Demand’s every-day pricing solution.

Promotion pricing is a fundamental process of retail that may account for most or all of your net profits. Go too low and you undercut margins. Too shallow and you sacrifice lift. A scientific forecast of shopper response is essential to your planning process.

With the confidence of a comprehensive solution, you meet your competitive pricing goals while executing more profitable promotion plans.

Customer Trust

Simple and Complex Offers

Setting promotion prices is a fundamental weekly process of retail that demands continuous attention. Promotion managers need reliable analytics and guidance in several key areas:

How deep to discount individual items
Replenishment planning for anticipated fast-movers
Interaction effects that may lower take-away on competing items
Post-promotion “dips” in the category
Impact of cost of goods and trade funds.

The insights depend on a reliable forecast and a true understanding of base demand, derived from your every-day pricing discipline.

Simple offers are challenging enough, but more challenging promotion types like BOGO, multi-buy or product line offers are in play, it takes Machine Learning to back up human judgement.

By design, Clear Demand’s promotion pricing solution supports the people who do promotion. It doesn’t prescribe choices. It reveals what the impact will likely be when a price change is executed so your planners make fully informed choices.
