Project Overview
| Project Details | |
|---|---|
| Project Title | Pricing & Promotion Analysis & Strategy Development |
| Project Synopsis |
What is the challenge or opportunity you are trying to address within your organization?
We are constantly on promotion when our customer is already extremely loyal and has a good disposable income. Would she have purchased anyway if we weren't on promo? Are we just giving our product away? Where is the point of diminishing returns if we stopped promo or promoted less. What is the right pricing and promo strategy to maximize sales and profitability?
What are some of the activities or action items you think will need to be taken to achieve your desired results? What would make this project a success for your organization? What measurable results are you looking to accomplish? |
