The Pricing Modules
Methodology
Every month over 350 individual online travel retail shops are manually scanned by the Air4casts data analysts' team. The range of online shops is updated each month to reflect new entrants to the channel.
Online travel retail shopping is growing rapidly with an average of three to five new outlets coming on stream monthly. The online shops fall into three categories:
◊ airports

◊ ferries.
Each month the following data for every SKU which is offered for sale online is meticulously recorded and uploaded to the Air4casts travel retail pricing database:
◊ product type
◊ brand owner
◊ brand family
◊ brand
◊ size
◊ online retail price
◊ special offer price
◊ change in price from previous month
◊ new product launches
◊ promotional activity
◊ retailer name
◊ outlet name
The monthly historical data is stored for each outlet and for each SKU for reference by subscribers.
Data is uploaded every month.
