View 06Promo Impact

Test a discount before you print the banner.

Promo Impact simulates a promotion on your own price response. Pick a category, a depth and a window, and see the extra units, the stock you need to support it, and what happens to margin.

  • Price response from your data

    Elasticity is learned from your past promotions per category, not borrowed from an industry average.

  • Cannibalisation

    Shows how much of the lift is stolen from full-price items in the same category.

  • Stock to support it

    Calculates the units needed per store so the promotion does not end in empty shelves on day three.

  • Margin, honestly

    Extra revenue is set against discount cost, so you see whether the promotion earns or just moves units.
