• {{market_segment}}: target customer group, e.g., urban professionals.
• {{historical_data}}: any sales data or customer feedback you have (optional).
• {{promotional_goals}}: what you want to achieve, e.g., increase sales by 15%.

Instructions

2. Analyze historical sales data to identify patterns and effective promotional activities for the product.
3. Predict consumer behavior for the target segment, considering factors like seasonality and price sensitivity.
4. Recommend targeted promotional campaigns and pricing strategies to shape demand.

• Focus on demand shaping, not general marketing.
• Ensure recommendations are practical and cost-effective.
