Purpose of the Promotions Evaluator and when to use it

The purpose of the Promotions Evaluator is to act as a useful summary of the key factors that will determine whether or not a promotion will pay back - AND - whether you should be expecting it to pay back within 12 months from the date at which the promotion took place or looking for payback over a much longer timescale.

It can be used either at the planning stage to see what you need to do in order to get your promotion to pay back within 12 months, or after the promotion has been run in order to evaluate the actual returns from the promotion. Or you could do both. It is also a good tool to use to help structure the relevant payback information and criteria in support of business pitches or, perhaps, in support of awards submissions.

When using it at the planning stage of a promotion it will help to focus attention on getting the right set of activities in place to ensure (objectively) that the promotion will provide a positive payback within a 12 month period (if that is part of the promotional objectives). It also helps in ensuring that the Tactical or Strategic nature of the promotion is correctly reflected into the stated promotional objectives in a "SMART" manner (SMART = Specific; Measurable; Achievable; Relevant; Timed).

If the tool is used in support of proposals / pitches to clients / prospects then we know from client feedback that proposals which include the types of information collected by the tool will be likely to be considered more favourably than an equivalent proposal that doesn't include them, especially for promotions which are short term and tactical in nature.

What it calculates

The evaluator provides 3 key outputs:

1. A straightforward ROI measure (based on short term payback and using the data assumptions that you enter)
2. A break-even sales level (how many extra sales need to be generated by the promotion in order for it pay back - either in the short term and / or long term)
3. A set of comments and suggestions based on the ROI outputs to help plan / improve the promotion / verify your entered data

How to Use It

Simply work through the data entry form starting from the top of the page.

Help facilities are included to provide extra information about the types of data required.

The outputs are at the bottom of the page and the clickable links explain how the answers have been derived.
