Range & Portfolio Optimization

Power up your product portfolio.

Efficient, effective and on point.

That’s the aim of every product portfolio and we make it happen. Sometimes that means cutting the zombies and amplifying the reach of products with the potential for healthy sales uplift. Other times it’s about making space for something new and more compelling. Whatever your end-game, we make sure your product portfolio has what it takes to fight for attention and push its way into the hearts, minds and memories of more consumers – online and in-store.

In 2020, 50% of FMCG brands reduced their ranges to be more efficient – and a third have delisted products in the last 6 months.

Range Analyses have very broad and varied applications. Whether you are rationalizing your range to get the most return from your shelf space, informing your longer term NPD strategy, sharing insight with retail partners as category captain - or simply determining the optimal set of claims or benefits to hero on pack or an online product description - the solution must match the objective.

I love working with MMR's team of Range experts, because they always guide my client to the right solution to meet their objectives.

The science of the perfect product portfolio.

Sales incrementality. Cannibalization. Consumer segmentation. Targeting strategies. We can zero in on all these things to help you beef-up your brand range and make it more formidable. And of course, because every brand and budget is different, our solutions are too.
