Trade funds management
Managing promotions and discounts offered by manufacturers is complex due to the multiple layers of promotions, discounts and ad hoc promotions, and assumption-based category sales objectives. A majority of manufacturers provide retailers with trade discounts, quantity discounts, seasonal discounts, etc., adding to the complexity of trade promotions in terms of volume, price and process. This complexity must be addressed with a well-integrated, effective trade promotions cycle.
