By tracking ad circulars, ECRM has identified Samsung as the #1 brand promoted across retail channels. Other promoted electronics brands include Sony (#15) and HP (#16).

Six of January's top ten promoted brands were from HBC categories: Dove (#2), Aveeno (#3), Pantene (#4), Nature's Bounty (#6), Suave (#8), and Revlon (#10) all show strong retailer support for the month.
"Many retailers focus their November-December on categories related to holiday entertaining and gifts," said Tom Pirovano, ECRM's VP of Industry Insights. "In January, we tend to see more health-oriented ads promoting HBC, diet, and exercise."
