SESSION ABSTRACT:

Today's retailers are battling intense competitive pressures as channel lines blur and more informed and technology-savvy shoppers demand better competitive prices. For retailers to find success in today's price transparent world, they need to replace gut-feel pricing with optimization technologies that enable the execution of shopper-centric pricing strategies and tactics across the life of a product - every day price, promotion and markdown - tailored to a retailer's channels. This session will discuss the basics of demand-based science - price elasticity and item/store level demand modeling, how optimization technology integrates science, business rules and constraints and business and financial strategies to derive price, promotion and markdown recommendations that drive to a retailer's strategic and financial objectives and the typical financial benefits that are achieved.
 

"Reaching into the community to connect industry experts like JJ with our students is essential for a well-rounded education," said Kelly Haws, Associate Professor of Marketing for The Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management. "I'm thrilled that he is available to speak again this year as my students gained valuable technology and career insights from last year's presentation."
