Are you properly calculating Trade Spend as a significant % of your revenue?

Emerging brands typically focus on COGs & payroll, and say ‘YES!’ as many times as possible. An exciting time of growth & momentum. But Trade spending is an often under-assessed & rather significant percentage of revenue for most CPG manufacturers. Starting out with placement deals, set up fees & initial ramp up, that trade & promotional spend is often exceeding 25% of revenue.

If you are looking for an easier and more accurate way to manage trade spending insights, you may want to consider a Trade Promotion Management (TPM) solution that is tailored specifically to your business & budget.
