Our latest paper, in collaboration with Retail Gazette, ‘Pricing power: Winning margin and loyalty in 2025’ - cuts through the noise to answer what really matters:

How do you balance competitiveness with profitability, without losing sight of your brand’s value?

The answer, as this paper explores, lies in transforming pricing from a reactive task into a truly strategic powerhouse:

  • Why pricing can be a tipping point for retailer and brand success in 2025
  • The value-conscious consumer: New pricing expectations in a reshaped market
  • Why traditional pricing strategies fall short
  • Building a next-generation pricing model

You’ll discover how the right mindset, strategy and tools can turn pricing into competitive advantage, and impactful profit growth.

A sneak peek…

Data from the Barclays 2024 Consumer Spend Report shows that 7/10 of UK shoppers now regularly turn to digital tools such as voucher apps, cashback platforms, and price comparison sites before making a purchase. Consumers have become value-maximising operators, using browser extensions, loyalty points and discount stacking to secure the best deal.

By leveraging loyalty data, purchasing patterns and real-time insights, retailers and brands are working to alleviate the heavy lifting consumers face - offering loyalty prices, targeted promotions, and more seamless value delivery across channels.
