Session Description:
Different languages, levels of economic development, style of retail operations and market fragmentation create
layers of trade promotion management complexity. Procter & Gamble (P&G), which distributes products and
conducts trade promotion activities in approximately 180 countries, is an ideal example to demonstrate the complexity
involved in trade promotions.
This session discusses how P&G is building the foundations of a collaborative trade promotion process by ensuring that the right data is in the right systems globally without overburdening the sales force.
It showcases how P&G is creating - on a global basis - a more collaborative back-end with key partners. Learn how P&G laid the groundwork for trade promotion optimization and advanced analysis to identify and multiply the most successful programs.
