From the KPIs to the tech to people themselves – we’ve got the lowdown on how your competitors are tracking their promotions, as well as where they’re succeeding and how you can overtake them.

Whether it’s Valentine’s Day or Easter, Christmas or Black Friday, it’s no secret that sales figures go through the roof during the holidays. With all these extra spends, it’s a no brainer for CPGs to take full advantage of this and whip up an offer to get consumers excited.
