First Insight testing has been a big success. The items that score high are the items we buy heavy and they sell very well to the retailer. More importantly, those items also have had some of the highest sell-throughs to the end customer.

Proven Business Impact from Real Customers

The Challenge

A shoe buyer wanted to understand how to price and buy a new bootie that they were planning to offer in several colors. Prices were set at $10 increments and they wanted to optimize full-price sell-through at 60%

The Solution

Tested the new bootie across all the color options.Utilized Elasticast analysis across all the different colors to determine the optimal price point for the group based on target sell-thru percentage.

The Result

Most colors showed full-price sell-through close to 60% at $149. They modified their buy depths per color based on Value Scores and % sell-thru vs. the 60% target.

This style was the season’s top performer (regardless of color)

  • Increased buy by 3,300 pairs
  • Strong sell-through
  • No additional markdowns

Demand by Price Point

The Challenge

A retailer wanted to know if adding stuffing to a soft-sided, luggage bag would add value when marketing the product in- store. Currently, the bag was shown online with the stuffing so one could get a sense of how large the bag was when fully loaded.

The Solution

By leveraging the insight of our respondents and our predictive tools, the retailer was able to explore the impact that a stuffed bag would have on sales. Test items were either an unstuffed bag or a stuffed bag. Additional cost associated with stuffing the bag was factored in as well at an increase of 0.25% per bag.

The Result

The soft-sided luggage bag, when stuffed, had a predicted average unit retail price 16.4% higher, compared to the unstuffed bag, a 45000x ROI vs. the cost of the stuffing.
