Monthly Report Example
Novatine hit record market share levels in October, driven by the new Purple flavor and increased distribution. Novatine gained 2.2 share points and 12% volume growth over the last 4 weeks compared to last year. Shipments were also up 15.7% in October and 9.7% year-to-date, exceeding forecasts. However, some risks remain from softer sales at Costco and Safeway in October. The report provides an overview of Novatine's market performance and identifies growth drivers like the Purple flavor launch as well as areas for improvement such as link scores for the new TV ad.

On Librarianship
