OVERVIEW - INCREASING TFM COST CONTINUES TO BE A CONCERN The estimated cost of trade promotions for US consumer goods manufacturers is $26 billion per year, or 13% of sales revenues– second only to COGS as leading expense 61% of a consumer product goods company’s marketing budget is spent on trade promotion funneled through retailers Sources: Gartner Group, Cannondale Associates Trade fund spend is increasing at a faster rate than sales! Marginal Increase in Trade Fund Spend Marginal Increase in Revenue

ISSUES TO SOLVE NONPRODUCTIVE SPENDING Distributors: - 84% do not believe they are getting a fair ROI for their trade dollars - There is a 50% variance between actual and planned results Sources: Gartner Group, Cannondale Associates Inefficiency Ineffectiveness Non Productive Spend

What we learned! Regulations being seriously enforced Shareholders are more demanding Competition is fierce Days of creative marketing and no serious tracking are over! The Current Perspective :
14
IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES Transformation vs. Technology– Software doesn’t solve the problem! Software is a tool! Process – lack of standardization in process and trade fund terms drives ‘ad-hoc’ approach and increases complexity to manage Technology – fragmented technology cannot support data and system integration requirements Organizational – individuals within your organizations are comfortable with traditional approach – no incentive to change Cultural – belief that art, experience, and ‘gut feel’ cannot be replaced by tools Partner expectations – increasing retailer leverage and competition drives increasing expectation for trade fund support
