Core Use Case: Driving Incremental Toy Growth

Business Question:

A toy manufacturer wanted to better understand where category growth was coming from and how to attract new households while defending against competitive switching.

How Numerator Addressed It:

Numerator conducted a deep dive into buyer flow and switching behavior within the toy category to understand how the toy manufacturer was gaining or losing households relative to competitors. The analysis decomposed growth into new buyers, repeat behavior, and competitive switching, while also evaluating retailer-level dynamics. This provided clarity on whether category growth was incremental or simply redistributive. Numerator also assessed how households entered the category and which brands and retailers played a role in driving trial.

Solution Implemented:
The solution identified where the toy manufacturer could most effectively recruit new households and strengthen its competitive position. Numerator delivered actionable insights that informed retailer prioritization, shopper acquisition strategies, and category growth narratives. These outputs were designed to support both strategic planning and retailer engagement.
The Result:

The toy manufacturer uncovered $3M in incremental growth opportunity.
