Always-on insights that highlight sales performance drivers for consumer packaged goods brands
Marketing teams execute an array of strategies to drive business growth each year, but they don’t always have immediate insight into their results. Trying to understand how different factors – such as promotions, distribution changes or advertising – drove changes to sales is difficult, and many organizations don’t feel equipped to quickly and accurately get the answers they need in order to adapt their in-market strategies accordingly.
With Nielsen Automated Business Drivers, consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands have access to “always-on” analytics that provide insights into what’s driving sales performance, including in-store trade efforts (e.g., price changes and promotions) and television advertising.
