Advanced Analytical’s Pricing Strategy Increases Profits Over 5% for Major International Beverage Manufacturer, Market Capitalization Jumps.

BOSTON, Monday, October 18th 2010 [ME NewsWire]:

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Advanced Analytical Consulting Group Inc. (AACG) recently increased profits of a major international beverage brand by over 5% during the first phase of a new pricing strategy. This increase in profit was achieved while increasing market share and average prices across all geographies. The strategy and implementation of the new prices were engineered through AACG’s Pricing and Profitability Optimization process and technology.


While the price changes reflected an average increase, they included both price increases and decreases, depending on the sensitivity of customers to price changes in particular brand-package combinations, in each geography. Financial markets responded positively to the announced results, increasing the client’s market capitalization by hundreds of millions of dollars. The analysis by AACG was based on econometric modeling of the influence of price changes on volumes and profits for hundreds of product-geography combinations.

Levy. “We create a customized process and technology that allows our clients not only to maximize profits in the short-run, but to continue extracting additional profits over time.
