The Secret To Selecting Products For Promotions

By Dr. Shuki Idan

There are so many considerations to take into account when selecting products for promotions. If you leave out external factors such as special events, business goals, wallet share or customer propensity to buy, selecting the right product may be driven by many product related considerations. What we want to share with you in this post are the more important aspects that need to be taken into consideration when planning promotions, and then we will provide an actual method for pulling this off. Here’s what you need to think about before you get started:

Revenue / revenue share / margin – the associated product sales revenue that is kept by the service provider. A private case of revenue share is when the product is fully owned by the service provider and all promotion ideas are subjected solely to its consideration.

Margin or profitability – the amount of revenue that is left after the direct operational expenses related to the product.
