DETAILED SCHEDULE OF EVENTS THURSDAY, MAY 3 Noon – 12:45 p.m.

Fresh Marketplace Learning Center Hall A, Convention Center The Consumer Decision—Evaluating and Planning Retail Promotions to Impact Consumer Purchases With nearly a third of all fruits and vegetables sold on promotion, retail discounting plays a key role in determining consumer purchase decisions and driving store level merchandising. Yet promotions can be expensive for both retailers and suppliers, especially if the promotion generates limited incremental sales lifts. This discussion will focus on how retail promotion activity can be evaluated and planned to develop stronger promotional programs. How do we determine what price discounts truly generate incremental consumer purchases? Is there an optimal promotion frequency? What is the process for evaluating promotional effectiveness?
