    Allocator Player Manual 1. Overview of the Marketing Metrics Allocator Exercise The Allocator exercise is a simulation that puts the class, as Brand teams, in the role of product managers in the beer market. The purposes of the exercise are to gain experience in allocating marketing resources, to learn “how to learn” about market dynamics and to gain experience in choosing and analyzing marketing metrics via a marketing dashboard. Within the simulation, your primary objective is to maximize profitability and your secondary objective is to grow market share. Each brand has a budget that may be used to support marketing activities and purchase marketing research information. You are not required to spend the full budget, but it is extremely important that you do not exceed the budget allocated. 2. Allocator Decisions You will begin the Allocator exercise with data from previous periods and make decisions for subsequent periods. Prior to submitting your decisions you will have an opportunity to conduct (sequentially) up to five test markets. When interpreting test market results, note that they (necessarily) are based on the current competitive environment. Use the “Test” tab to plan and conduct test markets. Be sure to save the results in a separate file so that you can compare outcomes of different tests. You will be given historical information on your brand and certain information on competitors.

Typically, the objective is to predict year-one “depletions”; that is, the actual volume of goods that consumers will buy in retail stores (hence, the use of the term “volumetric forecasting” as a description of new product sales forecasting). The term “depletions” excludes new products in the factory, in warehouses, on trucks, or in the retailer’s distribution system (i.e., all inventory build is excluded). Most often, these sales estimates are in retail dollars, not the manufacturer’s selling prices.

Large investment costs combined with the uncertainty of the developed product's market value is the reason for many products failure. Thus, many new products never reach the market because of the lack of certainty concerning the products market potential.

  • PILOT PROJECT REPORT January 2017
    PILOT PROJECT REPORT January 2017 Prepared by: Prepared for: Executive Summary In early 2016, Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Asso- ciation (BBRSDA) executed a pilot marketing project in Boulder, CO. The purpose was to establish a proven model for successfully implementing an effective retail program for refreshed Bristol Bay sockeye salmon. The project also required the design and launch of a new, consumer-facing Bristol Bay brand. Process and Deliverables: The new Bristol Bay logo and branding represented a sleek, modern take on seafood: a seven-sided geometric fish shape, with dual cam- paign themes of wild taste and amazing place. Custom photography, recipes and a redesigned consumer website completed the new look. For retail engagement, the project team worked with various retailer chains and suppliers to generate interest in participating in the mar- keting project. This included developing a sell-in presentation, meeting with retailers and distributors in Boulder, and creating marketing ma- terials to be used in the stores such as ice signs, recipe posters, recipe cards, and branded Grundens aprons. Three retailer chains of diverse size participated in the program. Bristol Bay’s Boulder pilot program was unique: frozen H&G sockeye was thawed and processed into fillets by regional distributors, then shipped to stores, while Bristol Bay sockeye was uniquely brand labeled and marketed at retail. Each of the three retailers elected to use different levels of branding and promotion, which was provided by Bristol Bay. Bristol Bay also held product training with all stores to educate retailers about the unique qualities of Bristol Bay sockeye salmon.
