We’re getting on shelf next quarter. How much promo should we budget for soda?

  • Checked 30 days of promos across 21 soda brands: Promos are rare: OLIPOP ran one in 2 of 411 checks.
  • Scanned soda for live discounts

Soda barely discounts online. OLIPOP was on promo in 2 of 411 checks, 27.9% off on average when it did, and Zero Poppi ran 5.5% off once in 36. The one live deal is Bloom Pop’s 15-pack at 20% off. Plan for occasional promos around 20–28% off, not a standing discount.
