### **Overview**

The **Bump Chart feature** within Vividly's promotion creation and editing workflow **provides real-time access to historical point-of-sale (POS) performance data for the specific customer and product group you're currently planning a promotion for**, allowing you to make data-driven decisions about lift assumptions, pricing strategy, and expected volume without leaving the promotion editing screen. When you're creating or editing a promotion in the Master Edit interface (Step 2 of the promotion planning process), the Bump Chart **displays a visual timeline of past promotional events alongside key metrics including base units sold, incremental units generated, average retail price, promotional lift percentages, and compliance rates**—all filtered automatically to match the exact customer and product group combination of your current promotion.

 

### **Steps to Find the Bump Chart**

**![](https://knowledge.govividly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-11-2026-06-37-26-6405-PM.png?width=670&height=285&name=image-png-Feb-11-2026-06-37-26-6405-PM.png)**

1. Navigate to **Promotions \> Planning** in Vividly.
2. Access the creation or editing (**Master Edit**) process pages.
   
     - **Option A - Creating a new promotion**:
       
           - Click the **"+ New Promotion"** button or similar.
           - Enter basic promotion details in **Step 1**: Customer, Product Group, Start Date, End Date, Promotion Type/Fund Type.
           - Click **"Next"** or **"Continue"** to proceed to **Step 2** (Master Edit page).
     - **Option B - Editing an existing promotion**:
       
           - Locate an existing promotion in the Columns View, List View, or Calendar View.
           - Click on the promotion to open it.
           - Click **"Edit"** to enter edit mode.
           - Navigate to **Step 2** of the editing workflow (if not already there).
3. You should now be on the **Step 2 / Master Edit page** where you configure promotion lines, lift, pricing, and volume details.
4. On the Step 2 / Master Edit page, you'll see the main promotion configuration area, **scroll down** past the main promotion configuration area to encounter two key sections:
   
     - **"Similar Promotion Lines"**: A table showing past promotions with the same customer, product group, and fund type.
     - **"Bump Chart"**: The visual analytics section (this is what we want to access).
5. Locate the **"Bump Chart"** section header and click on it to open this section.
6. The Bump Chart will **load and display** automatically all the data related to the similar promotions.

#### **Understanding the Bump Chart layout**

##### **Top Section - Compliance Metrics**

**![](https://knowledge.govividly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-11-2026-06-45-09-6059-PM.png?width=670&height=329&name=image-png-Feb-11-2026-06-45-09-6059-PM.png)**

- - The **top section** shows **compliance over time** as a line or area chart. **Compliance** = Promoted TDPs ÷ Total TDPs (what percent of your distribution actually executed the promotion)
    - **What to look for**: 
      
          - **High compliance (90%+)**: Most stores ran the promotion as planned (good).
          - **Low compliance (50% or below)**: Many stores didn't execute properly (issue to investigate).
    - **Hover** over different points on the compliance chart to see exact percentages for specific dates.

##### **Middle Section - Standard Bump Chart**

 

**![](https://knowledge.govividly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-11-2026-06-46-51-8294-PM.png?width=670&height=184&name=image-png-Feb-11-2026-06-46-51-8294-PM.png)**

- - The **middle section** is the core bump chart visualization showing:
      
          - **Blue area chart**: **Base units/sales** (baseline sales without promotional lift)
          - **Light purple/pink area chart**: **Incremental units/sales** (additional sales generated by promotions)
          - **Green line**: **Average retail price (ARP)** (the shelf price over time)

##### **Bottom Section - Promotion Boxes**

- The **bottom section** displays **promotion boxes** representing each past promotion. Each box shows:
  
    - The **width** of the box represents the **duration** of the promotion (start date to end date).
    - **Short box**: 1-2 week promotion.
    - **Long box**: 4-8 week promotion or longer.
    - Boxes are **color-coded** (colors may vary) and labeled with promotion names or IDs.

- **Hover** over a box to see: - Promotion name - Start date and end date - Fund type (MCB, Scan, Slotting, etc.) - Any other promotion details.

### **Tips & Best Practices**

- **Always check the Bump Chart before finalizing lift assumptions**: Historical data is far more accurate than guesswork.
- **Look for patterns across multiple promotions**: If all past promotions with an ad generated 50%+ lift while those without ads generated 30% lift, the pattern is clear.
- **Use compliance data to hold retailers accountable**: Share low-compliance Bump Charts with buyers to drive better execution.
- **Document insights in promotion comments**: After reviewing the Bump Chart, add comments to your promotion noting key insights (e.g., "Based on March 2024 promotion, expecting 45% lift at $4.50 ARP").
- **Combine with Similar Promotion Lines table**: Use both the table (for ROI data) and the Bump Chart (for lift/compliance) together for complete insights.
