Our Strategic Retail Consulting Services Offerings:
Promotional planning assists retailers in optimizing the utilization of marketing tools, strategies, and resources to promote their products most effectively.
Many retailers rely on promotional activities such as flyers and emails to drive traffic to their website and brick-and-mortar stores. However, promotions cannot deliver an acceptable ROI unless they are planned strategically and well in advance, are targeted to their customers’ needs and managed effectively. Because COVID 19 has created new consumer buying habits that rapidly change in response to ongoing news and progress, retailers must constantly listen closely and communicate with customers to ensure customers are getting what they need in an evolving situation. Managing a successful pivot of this nature is where our retail consulting services can give your business a leg up on your competition.

Category Management and Forecasting
Recent events have altered consumer buying behaviours, which has made forecasting for the amount of stock each product needs even more difficult. How can you decide what to put where and how much of each? How much of a product is reserved for online exclusive purchases versus in-store purchases? How do purchase patterns differ based on the country, state or region and how can you account for this on your shelves? We help clients buy more effectively and save money in procurement using merchandising best practices – a key fixture in our retail consulting services toolbox.Promotion Planning
