    DESIGN & EVALUATION

    SALES PROMOTION DESIGN

    There are a number of internal and external factors that influence sales promotions design. These factors include

    (1) place of sales promotion in marketing strategy


    (2) allocation of budget (3) present and expected competitive moves and (4) significant external macro environmental factors. The starting point in developing the promotional design is to specify the sales promotion objectives. The range of sales promotion objective is fairly large because the target groups involved can be consumers, trade and sales force.

    STEPS

    1.

    Promotion Choice
    There are different types of promotions that can be used, singly, or in combination: Consumer promotion Trade promotion, and Sales force promotion.

    a. b. c.

    2.

    Product Choice
    This step focuses on choosing the products for sales promotion, their pack sizes, or models, and different variations of the product, etc. Sales promotion planners have to decide whether to run promotions on the entire product-line, or only selected items in the line? Should the promotions be run on higher priced or lowerpriced products, the products that contribute more to the sales or those that contribute less? In case of consumer non-durable products, would it be advantageous to come out with special promotion packs, or the promotion should be run on regular packs ?

    3.

    Choice of Market Areas


    Promotion planners have the option to select national or regional markets. When promotion programmes are developed for regional markets, they provide some degree of protection from competitive moves. However, developing different regional promotional deals can complicate sales forecasting, production scheduling and physical distribution; this may also lead to cost escalation. Higher inventory risk would require that promotions be developed for separate markets. Excess product stocks from one market can be shifted to another market where the sales potential is more.

    4.

    Promotion Timing, Duration and Frequency


    When the product or brand inventories are less than normal in trade channels, the objective of the promotion would be to build inventories, but when the inventories with the traders are high then the objective would be to clear the inventories. It is inadvisable for the producer to announce a promotion when the retailer shelves are full with the competitive brand because the promotion is quite likely to prove unprofitable. Ideally, some manufacturers plan their promotions when annual marketing plans are developed. However, sometimes marketers face compulsions like unexpected moves by competitors The duration of consumer promotion should be such that a larger percentage of customers get exposed to the promotion offer. Frequency of promotion depends on competitive situation, deal sensitivity of customers, the interest of the trade, and the complexity of the promotion offer.
