Category or Insight

The market context and insight behind every category strategy, range review, and retailer discussion. 

Today
Category strategy gets built on a partial, delayed view of the market.
  • A competitor moves on price and the retailer notices before you do, putting your position as a trusted advisor at risk.
  • A retailer challenges your category range as a whole, and you have no data showing how their range compares to other retailers, or evidence to back up your recommendation.
  • Category share slips, and by the time the quarterly review lands, the data behind it is three months old, too late to explain what happened or change course.
With Brand Nudge
Build category strategy that holds up when retailers push back.
  • Track competitor price and promotion moves daily, so every JBP starts with a confident, current view of the category.
  • The range review shows exactly how each retailer is positioned, whether their range skews premium or value, so you can push back on a category challenge with evidence, and compare it year on year.
  • The quarterly review is built on this week's data, so the numbers hold up when they're questioned.
Pricing and promotion intelligence

The range, promotional and NPD evidence behind every category conversation.

Range positioning, category whitespace, promotional trends and NPD tracking, built to back every category recommendation with evidence a retailer can verify.

Pricing intelligence

Defend your range's price position in every retailer conversation.

Price positioning for your brand and every competitor, mapped by price point, pack size and format, across every retailer you track, so a range review or category challenge is backed by retailer-specific evidence.

Category whitespace and price point mapping
Whitespace analysis

Identify a category gap before a competitor fills it.

Price points and pack formats mapped across the category and every retailer, so a structural gap, a price point or format nobody's serving, is visible before a competitor moves into it.

Interactive promotional calendar
Promotion intelligence

Every brand's promotions across the category, on one calendar.

Every promotional mechanic, discount depth and duration, mapped across every brand in the category. Compare this year's calendar against last year's for a strong read on what a retailer's likely to run next, and track what else was live when your own promotion ran, ready to layer against your own sales data.

New product launches and delistings tracker
NPD and assortment tracking

Track every competitor launch and delisting before it reaches a range review.

New product launches and delistings tracked across the category, keeping a range review or assortment conversation current.

StoreView in-store feature space view

For Category and Insight teams

How Category and Insight teams use Brand Nudge.

Compare price positioning and range composition, retailer by retailer.

Map the category by price and pack to identify the gaps.

Track every brand's promotions across the category, and get a strong read on what a retailer's likely to run next.

Track new launches, delistings and assortment changes across the category, daily.

Map your range on the price ladder

Every SKU positioned on the price ladder, by format and pack size, so the range covers the right price points without gaps or duplication.

Compare range depth by price point

Compare how many SKUs sit at each price point and pack size, yours and every competitor's, so a thin part of the range is as visible as a crowded one.

Track how the range changes over time

Every listing, delisting and price change to your range and competitors', tracked over time, so nothing shifts without you noticing.

Bring price and range data to the review

Price positioning and range composition for your brand and competitors, ready to bring into your next conversation with the retailer.

Map the category by price and pack

Every SKU, every brand, every retailer, grouped by price point, pack size and format, so a missing price point or pack size is easy to identify.

Check the gap across every retailer

The same price point or pack size checked at every retailer you track, so it's clear whether it's missing everywhere or just from one store.

Point to where it's already working

A price point or pack size that's already stocked at another retailer, giving your pitch a working example to point to.

Get ahead of a competitor filling the gap first

A competitor's new launch into a gap you've identified gets flagged automatically, showing exactly how much time is left to act on it.

Get a strong read on what a retailer will run next

Retailers repeat what worked to protect share, so what they ran last year is the strongest guide to what they'll run again, letting you plan trade spend ahead of the cycle.

Track what else was live in the category

Every other brand's promotion running in the category at the same time as your own, the piece you need before layering in your own sales data to explain what drove performance.

Prove the real impact on category sales

Layer promotional overlap against your own volumetric data, like EPOS or Circana, to measure whether it grew the category or cannibalised it.

Flag clashes before they cost the category

Evidence for how promotions across the category interact, so a clash between two brands' offers can be flagged and avoided before it costs the category revenue.

Flag new launches daily

Every new SKU from every brand in the category, flagged the day it lands.

Flag delistings early

A product dropped from a retailer's range gets flagged as soon as it happens.

Keep category data current

Range changes across every retailer tracked automatically, so a range review or gap analysis is always built on the category as it is today.

React while there's still time to act

A competitor's new launch or delisting reaches you the day it happens, so you can respond, or move into the gap they've left, while the next listing decision is still open.

Range review, whitespace, promotion trends and assortment changes all come from the same category data, so the case you build for one retailer holds up everywhere else too.
