What a promoter app does in a shift

A product promoter app replaces the WhatsApp photos and paper sheets many teams start with. On shift, the promoter uses it to:

  • Check in with a selfie and a location check at the store.
  • Record sell-out by SKU and the stock left on the shelf, at the counter, every day.
  • Photograph the display and planogram (the agreed shelf layout) for AI to grade.
  • Log each demo and sample handed out, and competitor offers seen.
  • See their sales against target and the incentive earned.

Put together, those records show which promoters change what shoppers buy and which ones only fill the hours. That is what a promoter budget has to prove.

What to Judge a Promoter App On

Almost any app can mark attendance. Judge it on what it records after the check-in, and whether you can trust it for agency promoters whose hours you cannot see.

How a Promoter App Works in Different Stores

The app is the same everywhere. What you should measure depends on the store.

Supermarket and hypermarket chains

The promoter looks after many SKUs in one aisle and pushes the promo pack. Measure share of shelf, gaps fixed and sell-out during the promotion, by chain.

Electronics and appliance brand shops

Most sales start with a demo, and the serial number is scanned at the sale. Track demos, how many turn into sales, and sell-out value.

Consumer durables→

Beauty and cosmetics counters

The promoter is a beauty advisor who sells through advice and trials, so the check-in selfie also lets a supervisor check grooming. Measure trials and sell-out per advisor per day.

Cosmetics→

Watch the screens your promoters and their managers use, from check-in to incentive payout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a store promoter?

A store promoter, also called a sales promoter or in-shop promoter, works inside a retail store on behalf of a brand. They show products and advise shoppers to win the sale at the shelf. A merchandiser looks after stock and display; a promoter is judged on sales.

What is promoter management software?

Promoter management software is how a brand plans, runs and measures its in-store promoters, from store staffing and targets to daily sell-out and reports by agency. It is also called a promoter management system, an in-store promoter management app or a brand promoter app.

How should I test a promoter app before rolling it out?

Run a pilot in a few stores for one whole promotion. Compare sell-out per promoter, missed check-ins and rejected shelf photos with similar stores not on the app. If the pilot stores do not give you clearer data and better sell-out, do not roll it out.

Who is BeatRoute's promoter app for, and how is it priced?

BeatRoute suits brands with promoters across many stores, often hired through agencies, who want sell-out, display checks and incentives in one place; if you have a few promoters and only need to know they turned up, a simple attendance app will do. BeatRoute is subscription software, priced per user and module on annual contracts, with no free trial.
