Navigate Rising Tariffs with 5-Step Data-Driven Approach
1. Price Optimization & Supplier Negotiation Indicators
We build scalable price optimization models that offer a clear framework for merchants to prioritize areas where price increases are feasible and where supply chain diversification is necessary. Our approach includes ‘what-if’ analysis for tariff fluctuations, ensuring strategic supplier negotiations based on elasticities.
2. Identify Focus Categories
We evaluate Key Value Categories (KVCs) and Key Value Items (KVIs), segmenting them into traffic drivers, basket builders, and margin enhancers. This analysis helps retailers adapt to changing product roles, making informed decisions on where to prioritize.
Timeline: 10 days of collaboration between our pricing experts and your leadership team.
3. Calculate SKU-Level Price Elasticities
Understanding price elasticity is crucial for smarter pricing decisions. We offer in-depth elasticity analysis, scaling across SKUs and benchmarking competitors. For uncertain elasticities, we implement a 2-week Test & Learn process to fine-tune recommendations.
4. Affinity & Demand Transference Analysis
We identify frequently purchased product pairs and suggest targeted bundling or alternative lower-priced options for tariff-affected premium goods. This helps mitigate tariff impacts by encouraging demand transfer to more affordable alternatives, protecting overall sales.
5. Ongoing Pricing Recommendations & Monitoring
We align on pricing objectives and establish guardrails for impacted categories, providing continuous updates and insights. Our ‘Test & Learn’ approach, supported by detailed reporting metrics, ensures that pricing strategies are optimized based on real-time data.
