If you're new to the world of trade promotions, you might find yourself wondering "what is trade spending?"
CPG trade spend management is the process by which CPG brands plan various promotions to boost sales of their products in retail stores. Companies typically spend up to 20% of their revenue on their promotions! So, a company's trade spend strategy — and how well they manage it — can make or break the brand's success.
This is where trade spend management software comes in. Vividly's trade spend management software helps CPG brands plan a year's worth of trade promotions in minutes, build real-time forecasts connected to actual promotions, easily identify invalid deductions, and dive deeper with insights and analytics.
If you've walked around a grocery store and seen those red or yellow tags on shelves advertising discounts, buy-one-get-one-free offers, price reductions, special offers, or rewards, you're familiar with trade promotions!
Generally speaking, you can think of trade promotions as a retail strategy employed by CPG brands to boost sales of their products in retail stores.
For many CPG brands, trade promotion management is their second biggest overall expense. But so many of these brands rely on Excel to manage their trade spend. You wouldn't stash your money under your mattress, so why rely on outdated technology to manage something that could make or break your company?
Using trade promotion software to identify invalid deductions, optimize your promotions, and improve workflows can help a $50M rev company save up to $3M in annual savings. And the best trade promotion management software not only gives your teams a centralized workspace, it also offers features like real-time analytics, end-customer information, and trade promotion forecasting.
All Excel offers you is a tedious need to manage dozens of cumbersome spreadsheets. So, what are you waiting for?
In a word? Now! A good TPM solution should streamline your workflows and help you think strategically about the trade promotion management process itself.
If you find that you:
- struggle to scan and upload backups
- spend your days hunting down information that should be easily accessible
- wonder which of your promotions performed best
- are unable to figure out why your cash flow is so heavy
- dread processing deductions
- feel limited by not having end-customer information
- can't effectively build real-time forecasts that are linked to your actual promotions
