• Deseasonalize and first difference

Store net unit impact = Gross lift – Switching – Stockpiling + Halo

Finally, net unit impact and net profit impact can be calculated:

= Gross lift (1– %Switching – %Stockpiling + %Halo)

2

There is a positive halo effect of promotion; for every unit of gross lift, .16 unit of some other product is purchased elsewhere in the store.

3

Despite the substantial net unit impact, more than half of CVS promotions are not profitable, because promotional margin is often significantly less than regular margin.

5

Cross-store variation is a small component of total variation in net impact. Cross-category and cross-brand components are both significant, and the latter is particularly substantial in net profit impact.

Many promotion and brand correlates that are positively associated with net unit impact have a negative association with net profitimpact, revealing a difficult challenge for retailers.
