Did you know FMCG companies spend up to 23% of their revenue on trade promotions? Let’s stop and think about that for a moment. The combined sales revenue of the top 50 FMCG companies worldwide is more than $ 1 trillion. This level represents very serious business indeed!

However, a startling revelation is that only 20% of these promotions generate positive ROI, leaving the rest either breaking even or resulting in losses. This highlights the urgency for FMCG companies to embrace a strategic approach to trade promotion management.

Trade Promotion Management (TPM) activities are omnipresent, from enticing consumers in supermarkets with buy-one-get-one-free offers to meal deals designed to lower costs when purchasing multiple items together. This phenomenon is increasingly becoming an omni-channel experience, adapting to consumer habits in local stores, large retail outlets, and online platforms. It involves multiple stakeholders, including finance, planners, field sales, and retailers, making it inherently complex. Without TPM, brands face a host of challenges, like ineffective budget allocation, lack of visibility, limited control of planning, execution inefficiencies, and inaccurate demand forecasting.

Have you elevated your promotion strategy to drive higher sales margins for increased profitability?
