1. Promotion analysis You have just run a 50 cents–off coupon to promote your cereal bar pack to new users. The results are as under:
Volume : 50,000 boxes sold on promotion
Of these, 70% volume is from current users of your brand. Amongst these current users, 60% of the volume is due to stocking up, i.e. the buyers have bought two boxes instead of one. The remaining 30% volume is from new users.
A 50 cent drop in price implies a 55 cent cost due to retail handling charges
A 55 cent drop in price translates into a 10 cents drop in profit. You usually make 35 cents per box as normal profit.
The cost of printing and distributing the coupons was $2500.
Was the promotion a success?
