1 CUSTOM RESEARCH Trade Promotion Management IMPLEMENTING THE FUNDAMENTALS Trade promotion management (TPM) continues to be a priority as consumer goods (CG) companies strive to get more out of the 20 percent of revenue that they currently spend on promotions. In another sign of a rebounding economy where manufacturers need to win back consumers, 42 percent plan to spend more on promotions this year while only 8 percent plan to decrease actual spend, a definite shift from last year when 38 percent reported plans to spend less due to economic challenges. This change underscores the importance of effective promotions and the need to improve current capabilities through process and technology initiatives. This month, CGT and MEI partner to explore this further with a new research survey. Why TPM? The trade promotion process is unique to the CG industry and involves coordination of multiple business goals to satisfy retailer and consumer demands. While the overwhelming goal (see Figure 1) is improving promotion effectiveness, there are several other business challenges that often rely on this process to address. Improving the sales forecast is a top problem for more than half of respondents and can be particularly difficult because of the cascading effect of inaccurate forecasts. Better visibility into actual spend and related deductions was cited by 41 percent as a challenge and is typically the impetus for fundamental TPM projects. There were differences by company size for predictive capabilities and making better use of downstream data, both of which were more prevalent in larger firms because of the sophistication and technical readiness required. These capabilities are often tied into more advanced trade promotion optimization (TPO) initiatives that many Tier 1 companies are currently undertaking. Managing trade spend also involves close collaboration with retailers, which provides another set of challenges (see Figure 2). Almost one third of those surveyed claimed pressure to buy down price was the greatest challenge to this relationship, while almost another third cited compliance to promotions. Compliance has grown in importance and many CG companies are leveraging merchandising activities to help manage this aspect of promotion execution with much success. Retail execution is not always implemented with TPM but is part of most technology solutions and should be considered because of the potential impact. Ironically, with the rise of private label popularity, pressure from store brands and SKU rationalization was only cited by 18 percent of respondents. Technology Approach Because of the complexity of the trade pro- EXPERT PERSPECTIVE BY ROB BOIS, DIRECTOR OF PRODUCT MARKETING, MEI ANNIE S INC. GROWS ORGANICALLY WITH TPM National retailers have been reducing the number of brands per category, largely in favor of the more budget-focused and profitable private label, store brands. Executing the right promotion with the right tactic is the key to driving demand in today s environment. This is what motivated Annie s Inc. to invest in a TPM solution. As Director of Trade Marketing at Annie s, Dan Mader knew from the onset that his organization needed the ability to forecast what they planned and to improve reporting in order to understand both customer and item efficiency. At the root of the issue was the need for better access to actionable information. You want to have the perfect ratio on your investment. If you don t spend enough you leave sales on the table, and if you spend too much you re not optimizing ROI, commented Mader. If volume is slowing down, you have to react quickly and tighten spending or change your tactics to turn the volume back around. Either way, you need a technology platform that delivers immediate visibility into that critical trade promotion data. Getting your insight from a static spreadsheet several weeks down the road cripples the ability to drive trade efficiency into both sales and finance. Because Annie s can clearly understand what s happening in terms of spending, it has significantly reduced any major shifts in its P&L. The company has also increased its efficiency and can now focus resources on the most effective activities which drive the business further and faster. 20 CGT JUNE 2010 CONSUMERGOODS.COM
2 BY KARA ROMANOW FIGURE 1 Biggest Business Problem Related to Trade Promotion Process BIGGEST BUSINESS PROBLEM Improving promotion effectiveness 80% motion process, the infusion of integrated technology can often add significant value. In fact, almost 80 percent are using some kind of software solution to manage trade promotions almost identical to last year. However, the devil is in the detail, as 25 percent have heavily modified their selected packaged solution and 21 percent have custom built applications. One of the reasons for this may be found in Figure 3, where the barriers to packaged TPM solutions are addressed. After budgetary constraints, which were the top obstacle, complexity was cited by 37 percent Improving sales forecasting Better visibility into spend/deductions Predicting the effects of promotions Making better use of demand data (POS, syndicated data, withdrawal data, etc.) Reducing spending Reconciling deductions 29% 29% FIGURE 2 Greatest Challenge Today in Working with Retailers 41% 41% 51% Note: Respondents were asked to select their top three problems. GREATEST CHALLENGE In another sign of a rebounding Pressure to buy down price 30% economy where manufacturers need to win back consumers, 42 percent plan to spend more on promotions this year while only 8 percent plan to decrease Retailer execution/compliance on promotions Pressure from store brands and SKU rationalization Demonstrating joint value/profitability Unexpected deductions Getting access to consumption data 2% 6% 14% 30% actual spend. FIGURE 3 Greatest Barrier to Adopting Packaged TPM Software who believe their processes are too unique for a packaged application, particularly in companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue. Organizational readiness and change management were also significant barriers and would likely be among best practices shared by companies who have experienced successful implementations. Because of the reliance on the user adoption of the sales organization, these two hurdles cannot be underestimated. Of the 38 percent who claimed they had experienced a failed TPM software project, history tells us that lack of change management and readiness may have played a part. GREATEST BARRIER Cost or lack of budget Complexity (our processes are too unique for a packaged software application) Organizational readiness (we don t have the processes perfected yet, so software won t help) Change management (my sales people will never use it) Implementation length Inadequate resources Lack of need (the current state is good enough ) Lack of a single accountable sponsor Risk 8% 12% 41% 37% 37% 35% 29% 24% 20% Note: Respondents were asked to select their top three barriers.
