How you can use data for an off-premise retail expansion strategy
The key to a successful expansion strategy lies in accessing a combination of POS and panel data and acting intelligently based on trends.
Leveraging category and market data together with consumer insights can help emerging beverage brands break into new retailers. While great products and devoted customers are essential to your continued success, they don’t guarantee growth. Expanding into off-premise distribution and new geographies is key to increasing your overall sales volume and preventing stagnation.
The right intelligence can help you fine-tune your approach to pricing and positioning and create a winning strategy to increase local and regional distribution. In order to develop a plan for increasing your retail distribution, you need to be able to identify and target the right retailers and distributors.

With a powerful combination of consumer and retail sales data, your emerging beverage brand can navigate the path to off-premise success. That intelligence can also help your CPG company understand the size of the market, who your customers are, and what truly motivates them. It also empowers you to develop a growth strategy that includes expanding regional distribution and new off-premise retailers. You can also develop a viable pricing and positioning strategy to meet growth goals.
