The Biggest Marketing Opportunity In 2012 is . . . Retail.
SA Delivers Service and Tech Solution Suite: Mētis
Retail is the space where the power of consumer purchasing is engaged and where the competitive dynamics of the marketplace are full-blown. Marketers and their brands live and die here. Hundreds or thousands of retailers, whether independent and corporate-owned, compete among marketing’s four Ps—price, product, promotion and place in a complex environment, with infinite variables.
It’s where the brand experience thrives, sales are made and jobs are created (nearly 500,000 for seasonal sales alone). It’s where best practices emerge and collectively, where customers prove who and what is worthy of their purchases.
Understanding this space and developing simple, scalable solutions is critical.
For a manufacturer distributing through independent retailers, the challenge is to determine how to engage them in your program – a promotion, new product, and market launch or co-op marketing opportunity – in an efficient, effective, measurable way.
What many manufacturers and retailers are missing is the collaborative link – the interface of strategy, technology and service that makes the complex, simple.
