* Accuracy matters! These tools provide estimates based on the figures you input. There are a lot of factors that impact the accuracy of the inputs (data harmonization, out-of-stocks, poor retail execution, etc). These issues go well beyond all promotion tools. I have several workarounds. These are things I cover in detail in my Trade Marketing Essentials course which you can learn more about here.

How To Dramatically Reduce Promotion Spending And Explode SalesFREE Webinar Replay

Dan Lohman, CPSA Organic & CPG Strategic Advisor, Brand Secrets And Strategies

The future of your brand relies on its foundation. Cash fuels every aspect of your success. Squeezing more runway from every dollar can give you a huge edge.

Every brand struggles to grow sales with effective promotions. Rinse-and-repeat is not an effective strategy and yet most brands rely on it. This is their Achilles heel. Natural brands are at a significant competitive disadvantage.

Trade marketing encompasses everything required to get your products into shoppers' hands. Maximizing every selling opportunity is the key to your longevity and your ability to confidently grow and scale.

Retail is pay to play. It is typically the single largest line item on a company’s income sheet representing about 25% of your gross sales and yet over 70% is wasted – more in natural.

Brand success in the era of Covid requires creative strategies that did not exist pre-pandemic. Traditional tactics won’t work. This is also true for brands relying on automated trade promotion software and programs.

Consider this, $244 Billion was spent on trade promotions in 2017 resulting in only 17% sales growth (according to IRI). That includes brands relying on “push button trade management tools”. You need solutions that go well beyond what other brands rely on.

Retailers are delisting natural brands without deep pockets making it more difficult for your shoppers to find and buy your products. There is a better way!

What would you do with more cash to innovate and promote your brand – the focus of this FREE webinar.

Trade marketing encompasses everything required to get your products into shoppers' hands. $224 Billion was spent on promotions in 2017 which drove only a 2.4% increase in sales. Traditional strategies will only hamstring your brand and undercut your growth strategy. Every improvement equals more sales and profits.
