Identifying Optimum Price Corridors to Predict Volume Share | A Food and Beverage Simulation Case Study
By E2E Research | July 27, 2021

Research Objective

  • The client had limited information about consumer price responsiveness and the extent of competitor price fluctuations. They needed to predict:
    • Gain/loss in volume share based on price movements in the category.
    • Optimized prices to achieve targeted volume share in the event of competitor price actions.

 

Scope & Methodology

  • The project included building a predictive model to understand interactions among client’s and competitors’ price elasticity. It identified price gaps/thresholds which could result in significant share changes.
  • Further, we created a simulator to help identify optimum price bands to operate in given the competitors’ price changes.

By E2E Research | March 26, 2021

Research Objective

  • A leading food company wanted to understand the sales impact of various trade schemes.
  • They wanted to deconstruct sales in order to differentiate the impact of various schemes (lift analysis) and to understand how price, promotion, schemes,and competition activity impacted sales.

 

Scope & Methodology

  • Created multiple regression models for key SKUs to determine the impact of trade promotions, slab based discounts, internal cannibalization, competition activity and seasonality on their overall sales
  • Calculated sales lift & ROI for each promotion to help optimize budget allocation

 

Spreadsheet showing many different product, frequency, date, and price attributes which can be changed to see different sales volumes

 

 

Value Delivered

  • A scheme simulator was built that allowed the business team to align their trade promotion calendar to meet budget constraints and achieve the desired sales lift for their portfolio.
  • The simulator now guides future investment decisions.
