A leading West Coast thrift retailer with $350M in revenue needed to optimize its promotional and marketing spending to support growth. Revology Analytics implemented comprehensive analytical models and a custom dashboard to guide strategic couponing and promotional bundling. This approach identified $80M in growth opportunities and reallocated marketing budgets for enhanced effectiveness, positioning the retailer for sustained growth.

Many mid-market retailers and wholesalers' pricing, finance, and merchandising executives have inherited outdated pricing solutions. These legacy pricing processes don't quickly scale and heavily rely on expensive human, mundane tasks. There are no intelligent dynamic pricing capabilities that automatically set prices based on sales patterns, corporate objectives, and changing marketplace behavior. It often results in missed profit opportunities and liquidity problems.

Fortunately, you can build simple yet effective dynamic pricing solutions in 3-to 4 months that achieve up to 80% of its incremental Gross Profit $ potential. You can design and implement using practical methods and accessible technologies that empower your teams to take complete control without expensive 3rd party support.

Revenue Growth Management (RGM) is often mistakenly equated solely with pricing strategies. However, true RGM encompasses a broader scope, leveraging comprehensive commercial analytics to drive business growth across multiple dimensions.

Beyond pricing optimization, RGM integrates advanced metrics and analytics efforts such as Customer Acquisition Cost, Lifetime Value, Churn Rate, Marketing ROI, and Net Revenue Retention to provide a holistic view of revenue and profit opportunities.

By analyzing these diverse data points, companies can unlock insights that lead to improved customer segmentation, targeted marketing campaigns, optimized product and customer mix, and enhanced operational efficiencies.

Companies that expand their RGM focus beyond pricing are better positioned to identify untapped revenue streams, boost profitability, and achieve sustainable growth in an increasingly competitive and insights-driven marketplace.

Revology Analytics had the opportunity to join 25 leading Revenue Growth Management executives in CPG and Manufacturing in St. Louis earlier this week. We discussed the state of Revenue Growth Analytics in the CPG industry and the significant opportunity to in-source and own many of the advanced analytics capabilities foundational to a successful RGM and Pricing strategy.

In many ways, the state of Revenue Growth Management and its associated analytics capabilities have not changed meaningfully in the last ten years for Consumer Goods companies. There's still a heavy reliance on data and information providers like Nielsen and IRI to carry out foundational Pricing & Promotional Analytics efforts, including Price Elasticity and Marketing Mix Modeling, or a heavy reliance on 3rd party software for price analytics, scenario analyses, and optimization efforts.

However, the world is changing....fast.

In this case study, we explore how a $1.5B privately-held Consumer Packaged Goods manufacturer successfully navigated the challenges of a competitive market. Facing declining market share and profitability, the company struggled with ineffective promotional strategies, leading to eroded gross margins in the face of increased promotional spending. The company collaborated with Revology Analytics to develop the Promotion Effectiveness and Optimization platform using the client's existing tech stack. This included the development of a Pricing & Promotions data warehouse in Azure and Diagnostic and Predictive Analytics capabilities for Pricing & Promotions using Tableau and R. The case study offers valuable insights into overcoming obstacles in planning and profitability, showcasing the significant improvements in retail buyer engagement, gross profit, promotional ROI, and market share.

Two decades later, Promotion Effectiveness & Optimization is still a substantial business problem for companies; at least 50% struggle in this arena.

When we asked ~ 150 commercial leaders about their organization's Promotion Effectiveness & Optimization capabilities, the Consumer Goods industry emerged with a high score of 3.3 (a little better than Average). This is unsurprising since this is one industry where Promotional spending is routinely 15-30% of Gross Revenues and where the Trade Promotion Management, Effectiveness & Optimization (TPX) software industry grew the fastest.
