Portfolio Optimization

TURF AnalysisTotal Unduplicated Reach & Frequency

Optimize product portfolios and feature sets by maximizing market coverage while minimizing cannibalization and redundancy across offerings.

Methodology Overview

Maximize Coverage, Minimize Overlap

TURF (Total Unduplicated Reach and Frequency) analysis determines the optimal combination of products, features, or communications that reaches the maximum number of target customers with minimal redundancy.

Total Unduplicated Reach

Measures the total percentage of the target market that would be appealed to by at least one product in the portfolio combination.

Frequency Distribution

Analyzes how many products appeal to each customer segment, revealing overlap patterns and potential cannibalization effects.
