Respond fast to take advantage of opportunities as they emerge. At each stage of the promotional cycle, GfK’s weekly Sales Tracking data provide a solid foundation from which to make tactical decisions to maximize your product’s lifecycle. Here’s how it can help you:
Increase sales every week of the year
At the planning stage, you will want to interrogate the weekly sales data to let past trends inform your current and future promotions. Our Market Intelligence: Weekly Sales Tracking Data is available online three to five days after the end of the week. Use it to agree on budgets and KPIs and set realistic weekly goals for your next campaigns. Let it help you spot opportunities to grow sales and maximize product revenue.
By enabling you to hone in on the right audiences and markets, you’ll be able to devise cost-effective campaigns that win market share and beat the competition in the key selling seasons of the year.
Boost the promotions that deliver the best results
With so much pressure on brands to create and execute winning campaigns, weekly sales performance reporting can alleviate some of the strain. Power up product revenue by acting fast, gain sales by amplifying the activities that work, and recover losses by terminating those that don’t. Weekly sales intelligence gives you the confidence to adapt your promotions to enhance product performance and meet your targets. You’ll be empowered to evaluate and react to your competitors’ results quickly using the latest sell-out data. This is even more important as product lifecycles shorten, intensifying the urgency to act with speed and agility to optimize promotions.
