Pricing Strategy

In our recent webinar titled “Supercharge Your Revenue Growth Strategy with Knowledge Graphs,” we discussed how this unique commercial analytics approach makes understanding multi-dimensional business data more accessible and substantially faster, helping you make smarter decisions and drive Profitable Growth quicker.

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 video, the Revenue Growth Drivers Analysis technique is explored in detail for a fictitious company, Company ABC, to understand the drivers of year-over-year net revenue growth.

The analysis breaks down the impact of Pricing actions, Volume, and Customer and Product mix on the company’s Net Revenue growth. The detailed analysis is conducted at the customer-product level rather than an aggregate level, allowing for more actionable insights.

We illustrate the detailed calculations for Pricing, Volume, and Mix impacts using an Excel Growth Drivers Analysis template, available for download at https://www.revologyanalytics.com/revenue-analytics-tools.
