Category Management & Trade Marketing

Retailers and brands must think carefully about their positioning when developing an in-store strategy. From category management to trade marketing: everything must be aligned with the image you want to convey.

Category management

Stores have to make do with limited floorspace, but brands never stop refreshing their product range. That raises some questions: does every SKU contribute to a positive ROI, and does every product boost the image of brand/store? Are customers actually buying the products on offer? Do we need to invest in specific promotional campaigns and actions? How best do we use the floorspace we have available?

To answer these questions, you need excellent knowledge of the retail landscape and clear insight into the mass of available data to develop the most profitable product range strategy.

Here’s how we can help:

  • Category management & development
  • Space management
  • Business intelligence: Nielsen, GfK, Daltix,…
