Webinar- Price: A Powerful Lever in the Food and Beverage Industry
WHAT: Food and beverage companies operate with a range of complexities, including volatility in raw materials costs and currency fluctuations, which makes pricing decisions complex. Pricing affects competitive position, influences the number of units sold, and is a critical factor in exceeding margins and revenue.
This informative webinar will offer insights and practical advice on how to leverage data-driven pricing strategy and optimization:
- Determine what customers are really paying and correctly define the right price.
- Learn how a 1% price increase can drive an 8.7% operating margin improvement.
- Rein-in maverick and unnecessary discounting, and improve margins with volatile input costs.
