A pet food brand invested in SPINS trade spend analysis and uncovered that only 60% of their promotions were yielding a positive return. By isolating the top and bottom performing promotions, they could identify how discount depth, promotion, product type, seasonality, and duration led to better sales. Applying these insights to re-allocate funding, they improved their trade spend ROI significantly, realizing a 40% increase in ROI and $350K in incremental sales within the first year.
