To respond to the increasing business pressure on ROI, marketers have to leverage new operating models to enhance the effectiveness of their marketing spends, and improve ROI.
Join WNS and Universal Studios on a discussion to learn how new-age marketers are leveraging actionable insights to improve marketing effectiveness and enhance ROI. In this webcast, you will hear about real life examples of how your peer companies have leveraged research and analytics outsourcing to make business decisions based on data rather than intuition alone.
Mike DuBoise, Senior Vice President of Universal Studios Home Entertainment, will speak about how Universal Studios optimized their inventory and improved sales by leveraging research and analytics.
Jay Venkateswaran, Senior Vice President of WNS, a leading Research and Analytics services provider, will describe the various operating models that companies can use to answer key business questions such as -
■ What truly does the pricing power of my product in the marketplace mean?
When will a price reduction in a premium product undercut the position of other products in my portfolio?
■ When a competitor drops his price, should I react? If yes, by how much? What is the optimal price-volume tradeoff?
■ What are the tradeoffs that consumers make in deciding package size and price per ounce? How is that tradeoff impacted by where the product or service is consumed?
■ What should be my promotions or discounting strategy? What kind of a lift will it give my sales? Will it damage my brand position?
