Answer:

Many retailers try to improve promotion performance by increasing discounts or multiplying campaigns. The problem is that this often creates instability: stockouts during promotions and excess inventory afterward.

The real lever is not doing more promotions — it's planning them better.

By connecting promotions with Demand Forecasting and Inventory Management, retailers can anticipate demand more accurately and align inventory with expected sales.

This allows them to improve performance without increasing operational risk.
