DemandTec and Cannondale Webinar to Highlight New Research on Trade Promotion Effectiveness for CP Manufacturers
Webinar scheduled for
Cannondale Associates recently interviewed several retail grocery executives on the subject of trade promotion effectiveness, focusing on how retailers incorporate trade analytics into their planning processes, which consumer products manufacturers exhibit trade planning best practices and opportunities for improvement. In the webcast, Carlson will give an overview of the results of the survey and Najarian will provide DemandTec’s perspective on what these insights mean for manufacturers.
“Cannondale’s research reinforces our proposition that retailers have a perceived ‘short list’ of vendors who approach trade planning at a more strategic and objective level. There is a real opportunity for consumer products manufacturers to learn from these industry leaders and incorporate best practices into their own trade planning process,” said Najarian.
As part of the research, Cannondale talked with category managers at large grocery retailers including a mix of large multi-divisional retailers, regional players, and smaller independents to determine how the trade promotion process is working within their companies and with manufacturers. The category managers were also asked how the process can be improved.
“One of the findings in our survey is that category managers are time starved because of the volume of incoming promotions from vendors and have a limited opportunity to act strategically on the proposed promotions. This presents an opportunity for manufacturers to step up and provide more detailed, objective trade planning rigor to support the manager’s category objectives,” said Carlson.
All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Cannondale’s executive whitepaper on this subject.
