Trade investments are a key growth driver for consumer goods companies, and the second most relevant profit and loss line. Yet most FMCGs fall short in getting the proper return on trade promotion investments, and lack the right processes, tools and capabilities to define and deliver the best promotional strategies and plans to meet consumer and shoppers needs.
In our recent global survey of FMCG leaders, 80% of respondents indicated that most aspects of the trade promotion management process are highly time-consuming and labour-intensive. Also, two thirds of them said they lacked the proper support to manage their TPM process successfully.
With the challenges faced by Trade and Revenue Management teams in mind, we have compiled a prioritisation guide to help you get the most out of your trade promotions within your revenue growth management practice.
Revenue Growth Management (RGM) & the Promotional Lever
In this mini guide, you will find a step-by-step approach to enhancing trade promotion effectiveness, which will help you invest more wisely in your trade promotions and give you valuable and actionable promotional strategies across brands, channels and customers.

A final section of the guide will help you identify and address potential internal barriers and provide a blueprint for adopting a phased approach to ensure long-term RGM success.
