COMPLETING THE BRAND OUTLOOK
Projecting Growth with Variability
Applying the same promotional outcome as last year, to the latest foundation behaviour gives us a grade, in this case A*…
Means Growth Projection matches the top 5% of Grocery Brand’s growth projections…
…and historical promotions suggest less scope for variance around this projection (as average promotional outcome is a fair assumption)
…and historical promotions suggest some scope for variance around this projection
…and historical promotions suggest more scope for variance around this projection (as average promotional outcome is less likely)
