Category Dynamics

Understanding the role that the product, category and fascia plays in the consumers basket choice is key to addressing issues such as:

  • Which products drive category growth?
  • Which categories drive retailer growth?
  • Which retailers drive total market growth?
  • Where are the retail opportunities for my category?
  • How does my category perform by retail fascia?

In addition, getting the right mix and number of products in the category is a challenge. Category Managers face issues, including:

  • Range Management – what is the most appropriate product mix?
  • What is the optimal number of SKUs within a category / brand?
  • Where will volume go if SKUs are deleted?
