In one embodiment, first sales data for the retail item is retrieved from a plurality of stores that have applied the sales promotion for the retail item. Second sales data for the retail item is retrieved from a single store that has applied the sales promotion for the retail item. A combined promotion effect value is generated based on the first sales data and the second sales data. The combined promotion effect value characterizes an effect on sales of the retail item as sold by the single store due to the sales promotion.
