A proper pricing strategy is very important for retailers, especially when it comes to promotions.
The majority of the price cut is covered by the producer of the promoted product, while some comes directly from the retailer’s margin. In addition, to maximize the effects, it is worth promoting important categories systematically. This is what promotional calendars are used for - to better manage promotion time and prices. When it comes to discount stores, due to the limited assortment, the case seems much simpler. But it turns out that this is not always the case, as you can see in the example of Lidl.
