How UNREAL Candy Drives Retail Growth With Data-Driven Execution
A core part of UNREAL Candy’s strategy in the store is a field sales team of 15 (regional account managers, brand ambassadors, and field sales reps) that focus on maximizing brand visibility and executing promotions in their key accounts.
“We’re constantly trying new campaigns and combining variables, like our off-shelf placement and price point, to find the right recipe for success,” says Leblanc.
The team uses Repsly to track the campaigns they’re running in each store. When compared with retailer direct or syndicated sales data on its own, the history stored in Repsly tells them which campaign (which price point, shelf placement, coupon, etc.) led to the best sales results. With this data-driven approach, the team can experiment in the store and iterate over time to develop the best retail execution strategy.
“Repsly's real-time data is a game-changer,” says UNREAL’s marketing director. “When we have an idea we try it out. The very next day, if it worked we double down. And if it didn't, we can try something else.”
