Common Measurement Mistakes
  • • Launching line extensions without measuring cannibalization of the core product's sales
  • • Defending share on price alone, eroding margin without building durable loyalty
  • • Not tracking household penetration separately from repeat rate, missing whether growth is coming from new or existing buyers
Best-Practice Notes
  • • Measure incremental household penetration and cannibalization together for every line extension launch
  • • Invest in habit-forming usage occasions (not just awareness) to defend against private label price competition
  • • Track market share by retail channel — DTC and e-commerce erosion often shows up before traditional retail data
