Predictive Promotion Targeting by Market with AI
Know which markets will respond to each promotion before you launch. AI analyzes history, context, and competitive signals to maximize promotional ROI—cutting analysis time by up to 90%.
Executive Summary
AI-driven market response prediction matches promotion types to markets most likely to convert, using behavioral history, local economics, seasonality, and competitive context. Replace 10–14 hours of manual research and modeling with a 45–90 minute workflow that produces response forecasts, targeting recommendations, and ROI-optimized plans.
How Does AI Predict Market Response to Promotions?
Always-on agents re-score markets as new signals arrive—inventory, weather, events, and competitor moves—so targeting stays optimal from planning through in-flight optimization.
What Changes with AI-Driven Promotional Targeting?
Manual Process (10–14 Hours)
- Research historical promotion performance (2–3 hours)
- Analyze market characteristics and segments (3–4 hours)
- Model response scenarios by market (3–4 hours)
- Evaluate ROI and optimization options (1–2 hours)
- Create targeted recommendations (1 hour)
AI-Enhanced Process (45–90 Minutes)
- Analyze promotion history and market features (about 30 minutes)
- Generate response predictions and optimization strategies (15–60 minutes)
- Create targeted recommendations (15–30 minutes)
TPG standard practice: Calibrate by promotion type (price, bundle, BOGO, loyalty), constrain by supply and channel capacity, and send low-confidence markets to analyst review before activation.
Key Metrics to Track
Signals the Model Considers
- Demand and Seasonality: weekly trend, holiday effects, weather and event impacts
- Price and Elasticity: historical lift by discount depth, cross-price effects
- Audience and Mix: shopper segments, loyalty penetration, channel preference
- Competition and Media: rival offers, share of voice, local media reach
