In the restaurant business, there is a saying that goes, “People eat with their eyes first.”. That means that even if the food is cooked perfectly and is delicious, a bad presentation can put someone off before they even try it. Retailers and brands are facing the same challenges. You might have the best products or prices on the market, but if your stores are bland and the products are poorly displayed, people will look elsewhere.

If we have learned anything during the COVID-19 shutdown it’s that you must work hard to stay in front of customers. Just because your brick and mortar store is closed, it doesn’t mean that you can wait it out. Just the opposite. Now is the time to get in your customers faces and stay there. Here’s how: 1.

One of the most basic tools CPG brands use to understand their position in the market is point-of-sale data.

If the phrase “everyday low pricing” (EDLP) rings a bell, you probably know that this is the pricing strategy that Walmart used to become a retail powerhouse.

COVID-19 means retailers must go back to basics in many areas, including their personalization efforts, according to Brendan Witcher, Principal Analyst for Digital Business Strategy for Forrester. That requires retailers to put themselves in their customers’ shoes, asking consumers what they need (and want) right now from retailers — and being aware that these answers are likely to change dramatically as the pandemic proceeds.

We’ve all seen countless “best practice” lists that are designed to excite and motivate brands to reach new levels of success with their product promotions. While these lists are no doubt helpful, the fact is that up to 75% of brands are still left in the red at the end of their promotional campaigns. For many teams, that’s because no number of best practices will truly make a difference if you still have some of your worst practices in place.

A product is introduced at a high price, and the price is gradually lowered as demand for the item declines. Although the concept is simple, knowing when (and how) to use a high-low pricing strategy can be difficult.

Phrase match is one of the four keyword match types available in Google Ads. It is a way to indicate to Google how closely they should match your keyword with a user’s search query. The quotation marks of phrase match (kind of) limits your search to the words and the word order that you specify. The reason I say kind of is that there have been a lot of changes that have made this match type a little less straightforward.
