The challenge described by our FMCG client

Our FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) customer faced the challenge of optimizing their promotional strategies amidst a highly competitive market landscape. With numerous product lines and frequent promotional activities, they grappled with determining the most efficient promotional price, duration, and depth to maximize sales and profitability while staying within budget constraints. Additionally, they sought insights into the optimal allocation of their media mix to effectively reach target consumers and drive brand engagement. Balancing the need to attract customers with competitive pricing and the necessity of maintaining profitability posed a complex challenge requiring sophisticated data analytics and modeling solutions.

The proposed solution

• Leveraging Sell-Out Data Insights

• Developing Predictive Models

• Internal Interactive Promotion Scenario Mechanism

In order to address the complexities of optimizing promotional strategies, our approach begins with the acquisition of comprehensive sell-out data from trusted data providers. This data encompasses a wide range of variables including sales figures, pricing information, and SKU performance across different channels and geographical regions. By harnessing the power of advanced analytics, we delve into this wealth of data to extract actionable insights. Through sophisticated data analysis techniques, we gain a deeper understanding of sales patterns, price elasticity, and the performance of top-selling SKUs. These insights serve as a cornerstone for informing strategic decisions related to promotional pricing, duration, and depth. By leveraging real-world sell-out data, our approach ensures that promotional strategies are grounded in empirical evidence, leading to more informed and effective decision-making.

Our solution involves the development of predictive models using both machine learning algorithms and econometric statistical techniques. These models are designed to analyze historical sales data and promotional activities, uncovering underlying correlations and patterns. Through the application of machine learning algorithms, we can identify complex relationships between various promotional actions and their impact on sales performance. Additionally, econometric models are utilized to quantify the effectiveness of different promotional strategies, taking into account factors such as pricing, duration, and media mix. By leveraging predictive analytics, our models enable us to forecast the potential impact of different promotional scenarios on sales outcomes. This empowers our clients to make data-driven decisions, optimizing their promotional strategies for maximum effectiveness and return on investment.

To facilitate seamless decision-making and enhance user engagement, we develop a custom internal mechanism for our clients to interact with promotional scenarios. This mechanism is specifically tailored to the unique needs and requirements of our clients, providing a user-friendly interface for exploring and visualizing different promotional strategies. Through this interactive platform, users can simulate various promotional scenarios and instantly visualize the potential impact on sales performance. Our solution incorporates advanced analytics to account for halo and cannibalization effects, ensuring that users have a holistic understanding of the potential outcomes of their promotional strategies. By empowering stakeholders with real-time insights and scenario analysis capabilities, our internal mechanism facilitates informed decision-making and drives greater efficiency in promotional planning and execution.
