Promotion Effectiveness Review

Know which promotions actually drove incremental sales

Retail marketing teams run dozens of promotions each quarter, but few know which ones generated incremental profit versus those that simply shifted timing or cannibalized full-price sales.

Promotion end date passes
Promotional period closes plus a configurable wash period (e.g., 2 weeks) to capture pull-forward
Promoted SKUs and sales vs. baseline period
Baseline sales velocity from comparable non-promotional periods

From alert to action in minutes

The objective of this agent is to increase promotional ROI by identifying true incremental margin.

Step 1

The Trigger

You define when the agent should activate. When conditions are met, it starts working automatically.

  • Promotion end date passes (automatic trigger based on promotional calendar)
  • Promotional period closes plus a configurable wash period (e.g., 2 weeks) to capture pull-forward
  • Manual request from a category manager after an unplanned promotion
Step 2

360° View

The agent opens a tailored dashboard consolidating data from all your systems.

  • Promoted SKUs and sales vs. baseline period
  • Baseline sales velocity from comparable non-promotional periods
  • Unit lift percentage and absolute lift over baseline
Step 3

Automated Analysis

The agent follows a structured analysis flow, combining checks with exploratory reasoning.

  • Calculate baseline: Establish expected sales from comparable non-promotional periods, adjusting for seasonality
  • Measure gross lift: Compare promotional sales to baseline to determine raw lift percentage
  • Quantify cannibalization: Identify related products with sales declines and attribute the offset
Step 4

Actionable Output

After analysis, the agent creates a human-friendly report with everything your team needs.

  • Executive summary: One-paragraph verdict on profitability
  • Key metrics: Lift %, cannibalization %, pull-forward %, incremental margin
  • Winner/underperformer classification: SKUs ranked by incremental margin
Step 5
