Trade promotions, accounting for over $500 billion in global expenditure, rank second only to COGS for CPG businesses, constituting approximately 20% of revenue. Effective trade promotions management (TPM) is crucial for overall business strategy. However, organizations face challenges in streamlining TPM operations and achieving higher ROI. Well-managed promotions have a positive impact on revenue, yet complex processes, fragmented data sources, and ambiguous responsibilities persist. Standardized solutions are lacking. In response, leading CPG/FMCG organizations are reassessing their TPM approach, seeking innovative solutions to improve metrics beyond effectiveness.
