Essity: Promo in the context of finance

Promo budget is one of the largest and fastest growing budget items for FMCG companies. Financiers consider the budget, most importantly as an investment. The pre-evaluation of promo mechanics, a transparent and appropriate process of planning, approval and implementation of promotions, as well as post-evaluation and exchange of best practices will help to implement a better approach to promotions.

We highly recommend the presentation by Natalia Tupitsina, Sales Reporting Manager of Essity, on how the company manages the effectiveness of promotional budgets using PromoTool.
