Optimizing trade promotion can be a win for the retailer and the manufacturer if; Their goals and objectives are aligned Work together to overcome the overarching constraints found in supply chain, marketing and finance In order to have productive dialog, both the retailer and manufacturer need to monitor the effectiveness compared to the planned values.

Manufacturers and Retailers alike can benefit from traditional advertising as well as personalized advertising on the AdComparison.com website.

Advertisements can be as simple as increasing brand awareness or more proactive by offering the consumer incentives like digital FSI’s. Retailers can drive traffic to the store by dynamically offering the consumer a personalized promotion based on their shopping habits. Advertising opportunities provide brand owners as well as retailers a way to interact with consumers at a critical point in the decision making process.
