Example: When I worked on Pillsbury Biscuits there were two key factors we needed to accountfor:1) 70% of biscuit sales occurred in the southern region of the U.S. (where biscuits are a traditional, staple food), and 2) 65% of our sales occurred between November and March (when temperatures are cooler and our audience was more likely to cook using the oven). Based on this knowledge of our business skews, a key part of our strategy was to concentrate our marketing activity in the South (geography) and during the “baking months) of October-March(timing).
