KEY TAKEAWAYS • Promote for Win-Wins: It’s not about spending more, it’s about promoting and pricing smarter for sustainable growth and profitability for both the manufacturer and the retailer • Mix of Old and New: Online is growing but on a small base. The role of digital needs to be integrated with the overall shopping experience • Know your shopper: In order to build loyalty, it’s important to understand what consumers are buying outside of the store to meet new unmet needs and demand. 28 THANK YOU!
