We recently spoke with Brit Cattey, C.A. Fortune’s VP of Support about her advice for CPG brands in 2024 and beyond. According to Cattey, there are two key things brands should focus on:
1. Be intentional about your trade promotion strategy: “Price was king in 2021/22. But now there is a ton of expectation from consumers to see personalized promotional plans come into play. So brands must start understanding what kind of promotion works best for them and in what channels,” says Brit.
2. Deduction management is vital: “Do not sleep on your deductions. If you’re spending money on promotions, someone must be looking at those. Customers make mistakes, so we want to make sure we’re not leaving thousands and thousands of dollars on the table per brand. That information is the power to be able to affect your bottom line.”
We also chatted with Brit about trends she's seeing, the importance of leveraging technology in CPG, and the vital role of proper trade promotion management.
