Fyre · Activation Monitor

Know which
activations
deserve your
next euro.

Measure what your on-trade activations change in actual sales. Compare activated venues with matched control groups, then see where to scale, monitor, repair or reduce your investment.

For trade marketing, brand and commercial teams.

The measurement framework

An uplift is useful.
A comparison gives it context.

A sales increase alone does not tell you how much an activation contributed. Activation Monitor combines POS data, historical baselines and comparable venues to estimate its incremental impact.

01 / MATCH

Build a relevant
comparison.

FyreMatch pairs activated venues with control venues based on region, concept and customer profile, creating a benchmark for each scenario.

02 / MEASURE

Follow what
actually sells.

Analyse receipt-level sell-out, incidence and product rotation against the control group and historical baseline.

03 / PRIORITISE

Turn performance
into a decision.

Compare modelled incremental value with activation cost. Use the ROI index to identify where to scale, monitor, repair or reduce.

What you can measure

Four signals.
A clearer view of performance.

01 — SALES

Sell-out uplift

The difference in sales performance versus matched control venues.

02 — PENETRATION

Brand incidence

The share of transactions containing your brand, beyond volume alone.

03 — VELOCITY

Product rotation

How quickly products sell during an activation compared with the baseline.

04 — CONTEXT

Peer benchmark

Performance relative to comparable venues by region and concept.

budget decision clearer.

Compare different activation types in one view. Filter this illustrative example to see how the ROI index translates into an action.

SCALE · ≥ 3.0

Prioritise further investment.

MONITOR · 1.5 TO < 3.0

Maintain and track performance.

REPAIR · 0.8 TO < 1.5

Review execution before expanding.

REDUCE · < 0.8

Reassess spend or redesign the activation.

How to read the index: modelled incremental value versus the matched control group, divided by activation cost. Results depend on the comparison design, available data and cost assumptions.

What should you
test next?

Choose the commercial question first. Then define an activation scenario and the comparison that will help answer it.

  • 01Which POS materials perform best?
  • 02How do field execution partners compare?
  • 03Does sampling outperform menu visibility?
  • 04Where do regional activations work best?
  • 05Should you focus on draft or bottle?
  • 06How does a new launch perform against baseline?

Study setup

One scenario.
Two groups. A shared baseline.

The standard study setup combines a test group, a matched control group and historical data.

100activated venues per group
100matched control venues per group
3 monthsmeasurement window per scenario
2 yearshistorical baseline data

Data granularity: hourly and daily. Refresh: monthly in the standard setup. Study scope and data availability are agreed for your activation.

Define your study

Start with a pilot.
Expand your learning.

One test group corresponds to one activation scenario. Discuss the scope and measurement design that fit your objectives.

START

One scenario

Define one activation scenario and compare its performance with a matched control group.

Discuss a pilot ↗

COMPARE

Several scenarios

Compare different activation scenarios, with a dedicated test group for each.

Discuss your project ↗

DEVELOP

A wider programme

Bring several activation studies together to inform your next investment decisions.

Discuss your programme ↗

FyreMatch benchmarking, activation performance measurement, dashboards and consolidated reports bring your study together. Venue-level data access is optional and requires venue owner consent.

A few practical questions

Before your first test.

How is this different from tracking sales alone?

The analysis compares activated venues with matched control venues and a historical baseline. This helps estimate incremental performance, rather than attributing every change in sales to the activation.

Is the dashboard updated in real time?

The standard setup specifies hourly and daily data with a monthly refresh. The refresh schedule for your project should be agreed when defining its scope.

Are the figures on this page real client results?

No. The dashboard visual and ranking table use illustrative sample values from the Activation Monitor presentation to explain the framework. They do not predict the results of a future activation.

Can we access individual venue data?

Venue-level data access is available as an option, with the venue owner's consent. The required scope can be discussed during your demo.
