CPG pricing connected to brand value, retail execution and margin

CPG pricing determines how brand value converts into realized revenue across products, pack sizes, retailers and channels. Price points, pack structure and promotions shape consumer choice while changing margin across the portfolio.

As portfolios expand, price gaps can narrow, promotions can become habitual and trade investment can move volume without improving economics. Growth can continue while price realization and mix weaken.

City Shift Finance works on brand pricing, price-pack structure, promotion economics, trade investment, retailer pricing and channel economics across consumer product portfolios.

The work connects consumer willingness to pay, elasticity, pack roles, retailer economics and gross-to-net performance to the prices that reach the market.

What We Do

Set Brand Pricing

Establish price relationships across brands, products and competitive sets while accounting for consumer response, portfolio roles and margin.

Shape Price-Pack Structure

Set pack sizes, formats and price points around consumption occasions, channel economics and the role each SKU plays within the portfolio.

Control Promotion Economics

Assess promotional depth, frequency and mechanics against incremental volume, retailer economics and the margin retained after promotional activity.

Manage Trade Investment

Evaluate trade terms, retailer funding and customer-specific economics where commercial investment changes gross-to-net performance and price realization.
