About the role
A trade marketing assistant helps turn brand plans into promotions and displays that work inside retail channels. The panel wants to see practical thinking about stock, materials and shopper behaviour, plus dependable coordination and clear measurement after activity reaches stores.
How to prepare
- Visit different retail formats and note product placement, prices, promotions and competitor activity.
- Review the steps required to move a promotion from brief to store execution.
- Prepare an example of coordinating people or materials against a firm deadline.
- Practise explaining how you would measure both promotional execution and sales response.
- Think about how limited stock should affect the choice of outlets and promotional message.
Common mistakes
- Discussing creative materials without checking whether promoted stock is available.
- Assuming the same execution will suit every retail channel.
- Reporting that materials were installed without considering shopper response and sales.
