The Retail Academy takes a pragmatic approach to training, ensuring that participants leave with a clear, ready-to-use action plan at the end of the course.

We provide one-day courses on the theory and practice of doing business, starting with data analysis.
The Retail Academy is the training and learning division of Gondola.

 

We believe in strong action plans based on data&insights provided by our partners. The Retail Academy is the exclusive training partner for Nielsen & GFK. However, the Retail Academy remains completely impartial, and is not a promotion platform for retailers, manufacturers or data suppliers.

 

The aim of the Retail Academy is to accommodate and facilitate the training needs of the Consumer Goods business. We are more than happy to listen to your training needs.

 

All modules are based on and build around a concrete case study and kept up to date :

     o    Getting Started (analysis of available data – analysis of category review)

     o    The basics (why run promotions)

     o    Promo vehicles (explanation of the promo vehicles tracked by Nielsen and GfK, overview of couponing (Highco/myShopi))

     o    Evaluation mechanics (efficiently manage your promo strategy)
