It’s all about Data Quality
by Kenneth Codam, CatMan®Solution, 2017
"Data validity is Crucial - Everybody agrees that promotion data requires clear definitions and consensus among the involved. BUT in reality, very often, we experience data slack and inconsistency which makes it impossible to use and work with the data."
Promotion period
"It is crucial that the start date and the finishing date is correct and 100% aligned with the actual time when the promotion (the promotion price) is running at store level. If not - All promotion calculation will be wrong."
Promotion status
"Promotion status could be Planned, Approved, Settled (available on the Basic, Advance, Enterprise editions of BMS) or Deleted. It is important that you are aware of the consequences of the three stages working with POS data.
If a planned promotion is not accepted it is important to delete the promotion. Otherwise, it will end up being analyzed as an accepted or even as settled as all POS data related to the promotion are date driven."

Promotion type and mechanics
"Having clearly defined and agreed on promotion types and mechanics related to your business - Will allow you and your organization to build up a strong platform of knowledge, when it comes to optimizing future promotion tactics and strategies.
Using POS data to evaluate and analyze promotions also gives you a unique opportunity to understand the promotion key drivers to success. It is up to you and your company to decide which promotion variable you want to be able to track. To utilize the opportunity, you need to define a series of unique type of promotions and promotion mechanics".
