Retail Promotion Planning
Increasingly, shoppers are leveraging the internet and mobile phones to research and/or instantly compare retail pricing. Shoppers are also fragmenting their shopping locations and trips at an increasing rate to find the best value. Retailers recognize that simply matching the lowest cost provider is not a sustainable strategy in response to this new shopping phenomenon. To address this challenge, many retailers are transforming their pricing analytics and planning processes with an renewed emphasis on their target shopper’s price sensitivities. They have also recognized that speed, flexibility and unparalleled category expertise are critical to executing this emerging pricing practice. Fortunately, retailers building these new capabilities have proven that pricing continues to be a critical part of their overall market positioning and drives shopper loyalty and profitability.
