***This is a top line project brief and full details along with data samples will be provided to freelancers who have the necessary experience and skills to complete the project**** I am currently working with a client in FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) and specifically within the branded bottled water category. We are reviewing existing recommended retail prices of a range of products and promotional mechanics with the view to change our longer term price and promotional strategy. However, we do not understand the price elasticity of each product so struggling to forecast the expecting impact of changing prices and promotions. I am looking to find a freelancer who ideally has experience working with large amounts of data, ideally from the FMCG industry to help calculate the price elasticity of the products in question. The available data includes - retailer value, volume, unit sales, retailer store distribution, rate of sale (included weighted by store), pricing, promotional details, average selling prices plus other ad hoc reports derived from scanned EPOS data. The deadline is two weeks once agreed. Please contact me if interested in this project and summarize your approach. Regards, David

Hi David, Thank you for the invite. The project definitely sounds interesting and I'd love the opportunity to work on it. I understand the problem as two fold. You ultimately want to understand the data in order to find patterns that can be applied to pricing tactics and currently calculating the elasticities is the proposed approach. There are several ways of tackling this project by varying along the spectrum that divides more traditional economic theory and more modern data mining techniques. I think the appropriate technique will straddle the fence between the two. We can leverage traditional theory, which suggests a modified log-log model, and apply this to each product, but augment this by using the iterative approach that data mining suggests. We build a basic model first and then slowly add complexity. This approach will keep our model interetable, which is a main goal, while still maintaining predictive fidelity. I would need to see a bit of the data to assess the format and the quality of the collected variables. As we all know data cleaning is a long tedius part of analysis that can draw out the analysis process. After the data step, I would program a loop that computed the price elasticities for each product and store them into a lookup table. I've run out of space, so if you are interested contact me. We can then discuss the budget and try to get within each other's range. Cheers, SstatsC Cheers,

Dear Sir, I am Independent Business Consultant with a solid background and experience in quantitative methods - statistical analysis. I believe that your question can be answered with the data you have, and also, additional data regarding the promotions would be valuable. You mention that an experience is required with analyzing large amounts of data, In that regard, I like to point out that I have basic knowledge into querying MySQL data bases, but please note that for analyzing large amounts of data, a technological infrastructure is required (software able to analyze large amounts of data - many observations and variables - deployed on servers that are able to process large amounts of data) which I assume you will provide. I would be glad to discuss this project in more detail, in the event that you are interested in my bid. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Milena

I am a native English speaker with experience in statistical analysis. I have received excellent ratings on my projects. The place to start would be to analyze demand versus price, then consider some of the other aspects in the available data. Depending on the details of the data, we may be able to establish a threshold price.

David, “Price Elasticity of Demand” shows how ';sensitive' a product is to price change, by showing how demand changes as prices go up or down, Because this can be presented as a formula (Price Elasticity of Demand = (% Change in Quantity Demanded)/(% Change in Price), I would therefore provide a blend of macros and formulae that converted your client's "raw data" of historic prices and sales into the PEoD measure, I can then give you an "interactive" slider that will show your client the impact of different changes in their longer-term price and promotional strategy, From that, they can determine which "blend" maximises whatever "Key Performance Indicator" they use, whether market share or gross profit, at the lowest cost. I have a "slider graph" that would let you judge my skill for yourself, but you made this a "restricted" project. I can't send it unless you send me a Private Message first! I designed dashboards, reports and spreadsheets and managed databases for twenty years at a leading multinational. Now work from home in the UK/Midlands across five freelance sites, with good reviews from international clients who have utilised my expertise in VBA Coding, Formulae and Conditional Formatting. Happy to work under a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement if required, and start as soon as you pay the Milestone into the site and send me your existing material. Hope you find this of interest and look forward to hearing from you Bob Allen-Turl

I can do your projects based on your specifications. I currently own a web development business but before being an entrepreneur, I was a senior manager having handled several positions in various retail companies which include merchandising and analytics. Apart from my business, I also currently teach MBA and the subject I teach of course is Merchandising and Analytics. Pricing is one of the modules I teach and can in fact provide you the materials I use once we're done with the project to further help you with your pricing. Please advise the number of SKUs that you have as well for me to gauge if the timetable I provided was realistic. I'm used to working on thousands of SKUs nonetheless. When I handled analytics in one of the companies I worked for, we used to analyze tens of thousand of products periodically. In merchandising on the other hand, I handled the beverage category as well so I will be able to perfectly relate to your needs. I also handled seafood, snacks, preserves, private label, imported, joint buying and auction categories in merchandising for your reference. Computation of price elasticity is actually quite easy and in fact, I can teach you how to compute the optimum price based on the price elasticity we shall derive. With regards to the approach I intend to use, please send me a PM if you'd like me to detail this.

I would like to do this project for you. My approach would be as follows: 1. Calculate a measure of price elasticity as a percent change in quantity demanded, represented by quantity of goods sold, over a percent change in price. 2. Since there is a lot of data available, I would calculate how the sales fluctuate with the price being unchanged. This would give us a measure of volatility of quantity demanded regardless of changes in price. 3. Combine results from 1. and 2. and project the 'average scenario' and the 'worst scenario' for sales revenue after various price changes in the future. 4. Finally, assess substitute goods. FMCG brands may have quite a few substitutes, which would make it impossible to raise price much higher than that of the substitute good. Once substitute good(s) is(are) identified, measure if there are any considerable spreads in price between our goods and the substitute good(s) in historical data. This would give us a more accurate measure of the supply elasticity curve. It is very likely to be a curve, not a straight line.
