Who it is for

Brand managers, category planners, and trade marketers tracking rivals in food, beverage, personal care, or household categories

What you receive

A clear record of what launched, where it appeared, how it was priced and claimed, and what changed on the shelf between visits

Included

  • Agreed competitive set and store sample for the quarter
  • Launch log of new SKUs, pack changes, and delists observed
  • Photo-backed notes from agreed modern-trade banners
  • Pricing and facing snapshots at each visit cycle
  • One mid-quarter note and one end-of-quarter briefing call

Not included

  • Nationwide coverage outside the agreed city sample
  • Purchase of commercial retail datasets
  • Creative or packaging design work
  • Media buying or campaign measurement

How the work runs

  1. Scope the category, banners, and decision questions with your team
  2. Run the first store circuit and build the baseline shelf map
  3. Log launches and resets through the quarter
  4. Deliver the mid-cycle note, then the closing briefing

Preparation

Share your current competitive list, priority SKUs, and any banners you care about most.

Constraints

Store access and display conditions can change week to week; findings reflect the agreed sample, not every outlet in Vietnam.
