Selecting Target Markets and Target-Market Strategies

5.3 Selecting Target Markets and Target-Market Strategies

Learning Objectives

  1. Describe the factors that make some markets more attractive targets than others.
  2. Describe the different market-segmenting strategies companies pursue and why.
  3. Outline the market-segmentation strategies used in global markets.

Selecting Target Markets

After you segment buyers and develop a measure of consumer insight about them, you can begin to see those that have more potential. Now you are hunting with a rifle instead of a shotgun. The question is, do you want to spend all day hunting squirrels or ten-point bucks? An attractive market has the following characteristics:

  • It is sizeable (large) enough to be profitable given your operating cost. Only a tiny fraction of the consumers in China can afford to buy cars. However, because the country’s population is so large (nearly 1.5 billion people), more cars are sold in China than in Europe (and in the United States, depending on the month). Three billion people in the world own cell phones. But that still leaves three billion who don’t (Corbett, 2008).
  • It is growing. The middle class of India is growing rapidly, making it a very attractive market for consumer products companies. People under thirty make up the majority of the Indian population, fueling the demand for “Bollywood” (Indian-made) films.
  • It is not already swamped by competitors, or you have found a way to stand out in a crowd. IBM used to make PCs. However, after the marketplace became crowded with competitors, IBM sold the product line to a Chinese company called Lenovo.
  • Either it is accessible or you can find a way to reach it. Accessibility, or the lack of it, could include geographic accessibility, political and legal barriers, technological barriers, or social barriers. For example, to overcome geographic barriers, the consumer products company Unilever hires women in third-world countries to distribute the company’s products to rural consumers who lack access to stores.
  • The company has the resources to compete in it. You might have a great idea to compete in the wind-power market. However, it is a business that is capital intensive. What this means is that you will either need a lot of money or must be able to raise it. You might also have to compete with the likes of T. Boone Pickens, an oil tycoon who is attempting to develop and profit from the wind-power market. Does your organization have the resources to do this?
  • It “fits in” with your firm’s mission and objectives. Consider TerraCycle, which has made its mark by selling organic products in recycled packages. Fertilizer made from worm excrement and sold in discarded plastic beverage bottles is just one of its products. It wouldn’t be a good idea for TerraCycle to open up a polluting, coal-fired power plant, no matter how profitable the market for the service might be.

Are women an attractive target market for yogurt sellers? The maker of this humorous YouTube video thinks so. (She seems to imply they are the only market.)

Target-Market Strategies: Choosing the Number of Markets to Target

Henry Ford proved that mass marketing can work—at least for a while. Mass marketing is also efficient because you don’t have to tailor any part of the offering for different groups of consumers, which is more work and costs more money. The problem is that buyers are not all alike. If a competitor comes along and offers these groups a product (or products) that better meet their needs, you will lose business.

Multisegment Marketing

Most firms tailor their offerings in one way or another to meet the needs of different segments of customers. Because these organizations don’t have all their eggs in one basket, they are less vulnerable to competition. Marriott International is an example of a company that operates in multiple market segments. The company has different types of facilities designed to meet the needs of different market segments. Marriott has invested in unique brands so consumers don’t confuse the brand and the brand is not diluted. Some of the Marriott brands and their target markets are as follows:

  • Marriott Courtyard. Targeted at over-the-road travelers.
  • Ritz-Carlton Hotels. Targeted at luxury travelers.
  • Marriott Conference Centers. Targeted at businesses hosting small- and midsized meetings.
  • Marriott ExecuStay. Targeted at executives needing month-long accommodations.
  • Marriott Vacation Clubs. Targeted at travelers seeking to buy timeshares.

A multisegment marketing strategy can allow firms to respond to demographic changes and other trends in markets. For example, the growing number of people too old to travel have the option of moving into one of Marriott’s “Senior Living Services” facilities, which cater to retirees who need certain types of care. A multisegment strategy can also help companies weather an economic downturn by allowing customers to trade up or down among brands and products. Suppose you take a pay cut and can’t afford to stay at Marriott’s Ritz-Carlton hotels anymore. A room at a JW Marriott—the most luxurious of the Marriott-brand hotels but cheaper than the Ritz—is available to you. A multisegment strategy can also help companies deal with the product life cycle issues. If one brand or product is “dying out,” the company has others to compete.

Concentrated Marketing

Some firms—especially smaller ones with limited resources—engage in concentrated marketing. Concentrated marketing involves targeting a very select group of customers. Concentrated marketing can be a risky strategy because companies really do have all their eggs in one basket. The auto parts industry is an example. Traditionally, many North American auto parts makers have supplied parts exclusively to auto manufacturers. But when General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and other auto companies experienced a slump in sales following the recession that began in 2008, the auto parts makers found themselves in trouble. Many of them began trying to make and sell parts for wind turbines, aerospace tools, solar panels, and construction equipment (Simon, 2009).

Niche marketing involves targeting an even more select group of consumers. When engaging in niche marketing, a company’s goal is to be a big fish in a small pond instead of a small fish in a big pond1. Some examples of companies operating in niche markets include those shown in Table 5.5 “Companies That Operate in Niche Markets”.

Microtargeting, or narrowcasting, is a new effort to isolate markets and target them. It was originally used to segment voters during elections, including the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Microtargeting involves gathering all kinds of data available on people—everything from their tax and phone records to the catalogs they receive. One company that compiles information such as this is Acxiom. For a fee, Acxiom can provide you with a list of Hispanic consumers who own two pets, have caller ID, drive a sedan, buy certain personal care products, subscribe to certain television cable channels, read specified magazines, and have income and education levels within a given range (Schiffman & Kanuk, 2010). Clearly, microtargeting has ethical implications and privacy issues.

Targeting Global Markets

Firms that compete in the global marketplace can use any combination of the segmenting strategies or none at all. A microcosm of the targeting strategies used in global markets is shown in Figure 5.9 “Targeting Strategies Used in Global Markets”. If you’re a seller of a metal like iron ore, you might sell the same product across the entire world via a metals broker. The broker would worry about communicating with customers around the world and devising different marketing campaigns for each of them.

Figure 5.9 Targeting Strategies Used in Global Markets

Targeting strategies used in global markets

Most companies, however, tailor their offerings to some extent to meet the needs of different buyers around the world. For example, Mattel sells Barbie dolls all around the world—but not the same Barbie. Mattel has created thousands of different Barbie offerings designed to appeal to all kinds of people in different countries.

Pizza Hut has franchises around the world, but its products, packaging, and advertising are tailored to different markets. Squid is a popular topping in Asia. Companies tailor products not only for different countries but also for different customers in different countries. For example, Procter & Gamble’s China division now offers products designed for different local market segments in that country. P&G has an advanced formulation of laundry detergent for the premium segment, a modified product for the second (economy) segment, and a very basic, inexpensive product created for the third (rural) segment (Sewell, 2009).

Sellers are increasingly targeting consumers in China, Russia, India, and Brazil because of their fast-growing middle classes. Take the cosmetics maker Avon. Avon’s largest market is no longer the United States. It is Brazil. Brazilians are extremely looks-conscious and increasingly able to afford cosmetic products as well as plastic surgery (Wheatley, 2010). So attractive are these countries that firms are changing how they develop goods and services, too. “Historically, American companies innovated in the U.S. and took those products abroad,” says Vjay Govindarahan, a professor at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. Now, says Govindarahan, companies are creating low-cost products to capture large markets in developing countries and then selling them in developed countries. Acer’s $250 laptop and General Electric’s ultrainexpensive $1,000 electrocardiogram device are examples. The world’s cheapest car, the $2,500 Tata Nano, was developed for India but is slated to be sold in the United States (McGinn, 2010).

Other strategies for targeting markets abroad include acquiring (buying) foreign companies or companies with large market shares there. To tap the Indian market, Kraft made a bid to buy the candymaker Cadbury, which controls about one-third of India’s chocolate market. Likewise, to compete against Corona beer, the Dutch brewer Heineken recently purchased Mexico’s Femsa, which makes the beer brands Dos Equis, Tecate, and Sol (de la Merced & Nicholson, 2010). However, some countries don’t allow foreign firms to buy domestic firms. They can only form partnerships with them. Other regulatory and cultural barriers sometimes prevent foreign firms from “invading” a country. IKEA, the Swedish home-furnishings maker, eventually left Russia because it found it too hard to do business there. By contrast, McDonald’s efforts to expand into Russia have been quite successful. Having saturated other markets, the hamburger chain is hoping to continue to grow by opening hundreds of new stores in the country.

Key Takeaway

A market worth targeting has the following characteristics: (1) It’s sizeable enough to be profitable, given your operating costs; (2) it’s growing; (3) it’s not already swamped by competitors, or you have found a way to stand out in the crowd; (4) it’s accessible, or you can find a way to reach it; (5) you have the resources to compete in it; and (6) it “fits in” with your firm’s mission and objectives. Most firms tailor their offerings in one way or another to meet the needs of different segments of customers. A multisegment marketing strategy can allow a company to respond to demographic and other changes in markets, including economic downturns. Concentrated marketing involves targeting a very select group of customers. Niche marketing involves targeting an even more select group of consumers. Microtargeting, or narrowcasting, is a new, effort to “super target” consumers by gathering all kinds of data available on people—everything from their tax and phone records to the catalogs they receive. Firms that compete in the global marketplace can use any combination of these segmenting strategies or none at all. Sellers are increasingly targeting consumers in China, Russia, India, and Brazil because of their fast-growing middle classes. Firms are creating low-cost products to capture large markets in developing countries such as these and then selling the products in developed countries. Other strategies for targeting markets abroad include acquiring foreign companies or forming partnerships with them.

Review Questions

  1. What factors does a firm need to examine before deciding to target a market?
  2. Which of the segmenting strategies discussed in this section is the broadest? Which is the narrowest?
  3. Why might it be advantageous to create low-cost products for developing countries and then sell them in nations such as the United States? Do you see any disadvantages of doing so?

Branding, Labeling, and Packaging

6.4 Branding, Labeling, and Packaging

Learning Objectives

  1. Understand the branding decisions firms make when they’re developing new products.
  2. Identify the various levels of packaging for new products.

What comes to mind when someone says Coke or Nike or Microsoft? According to BusinessWeek magazine, the Coca-Cola brand is the strongest brand in the world. However, a global study of consumers sponsored by Reuters found that Apple has the best brand. What is a “brand” and what do these studies mean when they report that one brand is the strongest or the best?

Branding

We have mentioned brands periodically throughout this chapter. But what is a brand? A brandis a name, picture, design, or symbol, or combination of those items, used by a seller to identify its offerings and to differentiate them from competitors’ offerings. Branding is the set of activities designed to create a brand and position it in the minds of consumers. Did you know that The Beatles started a recording studio called Apple? When Apple Computer (the iPod company) was formed, Apple Corp., Ltd. (the Beatles’ recording studio), sued Apple Computer because two companies with the same name can create confusion among consumers. This wasn’t much of a problem when Apple was only selling computers, but following the release of the iPod and launch of Apple’s iTunes program, a case could be made that the companies’ offerings are similar enough for consumers to confuse the two companies and their products. In fact, it wasn’t until very recently that the lawsuit over the name was settled, some thirty years after the initial lawsuit was filed. Nonetheless, the situation signifies how important brand names are to the companies that own them.

A successful branding strategy is one that accomplishes what Coke and Apple have done—it creates consumer recognition of what the brand (signified by its name, picture, design, symbol, and so forth) means. Consequently, when marketing professionals are considering whether a potential new offering fits a company’s image, they are very concerned about whether the offering supports the organization’s brand and position in the mind of the consumer. For this reason, many consider branding to be much more than how the product is packaged or labeled, and they are right. Characteristics of the offering, such as pricing and quality, have to support the brand’s position. If Apple (the brand) stands for innovation, then products and services have to be innovative. But branding itself refers to strategies that are designed to create an image and position in the consumers’ minds.

A brand name, like Apple, is the spoken part of a brand’s identity. A brand mark is the symbol, such as Coke’s wave or Apple Computer’s multicolor apple (not to be confused with Apple Records’ green apple), associated with a brand. Brand names and brand marks are important to companies because consumers use them to make choices. That’s why it was important to sort out the Apple brand. Each company wanted to make sure that consumers were getting what they wanted and would know what each brand meant.

An important decision companies must make is under which brand a new offering will be marketed. For example, Black & Decker makes power tools for consumers under its Black & Decker brand, while tools for more serious do-it-yourselfers and professionals are under its Dewalt brand. If Black & Decker decided to add to its Dewalt line new products such as coolers, portable radios, CD players, and other accessories construction professionals might find useful at a job site, the company would be creating a brand extension. A brand extensioninvolves utilizing an existing brand name or brand mark for a new product category.

Why would Black & Decker add these accessories to the Dewalt line? If the company did, it would be because Dewalt already has a good reputation for high quality, long-lasting durability, and performance among construction professionals. These same professionals would trust the Dewalt brand to deliver. How a company like Black & Decker goes about building this trust is the subject of later chapters. For now, let’s consider whether it is better for a company to market a new product via a brand extension or create an entirely new brand for the product.

One thing firms have to consider when they’re branding a new offering is the degree of cannibalization that can occur across products. Cannibalization occurs when a firm’s new offering eats into the sales of one of its older offerings. (Ideally, when you sell a new product, you hope that all of its sales come from your competitors’ buyers or buyers that are new to the market.) A completely new offering will not result in cannibalization, whereas a line extension likely will. A brand extension will also result in some cannibalization if you sell similar products under another brand. For example, if Black & Decker already had an existing line of coolers, portable radios, and CD players when the Dewalt line of them was launched, the new Dewalt offerings might cannibalize some of the Black & Decker offerings.

Some marketers argue that cannibalization can be a good thing because it is a sign that a company is developing new and better offerings. These people believe that if you don’t cannibalize your own line, then your competitors will.

Packaging Decisions

Another set of questions to consider involves the packaging on which a brand’s marks and name will be prominently displayed. Sometimes the package itself is part of the brand. For example, the curvaceous shape of Coca-Cola’s Coke bottle is a registered trademark. If you decide to market your beverage in a similar-shaped bottle, Coca-Cola’s attorneys will have grounds to sue you.

Figure 6.15

The new Coca-Cola plus bottle

Sometimes the package itself is part of a licensed brand. Coke’s curvaceous bottle is an example.

laxysupper – Coke – CC BY NC-ND 2.0.

Packaging has to fulfill a number of important functions, including

  • communicating the brand and its benefits;
  • protecting the product from damage and contamination during shipment, as well as damage and tampering once it’s in retail outlets;
  • preventing leakage of the contents;
  • presenting government-required warning and information labels.

Sometimes packaging can fulfill other functions, such as serving as part of an in-store display designed to promote the offering.

Figure 6.16

Three Empty Boxes

A single wholesale unit of a product, such as these empty cartons shown here, is an example of secondary packaging. Each of these boxes might hold, for example, twenty-four cans of car polish or thirty-six cans of bug spray.

z287marc – Three Empty Boxes – CC BY 2.0.

Primary packaging holds a single retail unit of a product. For example, a bottle of Coke, a bag of M&Ms, or a ream of printer paper (five hundred sheets) are all examples of primary packages. Primary packaging can be used to protect and promote products and get the attention of consumers. Primary packaging can also be used to demonstrate the proper use of an offering, provide instructions on how to assemble the product, or any other needed information. If warning or nutrition labels are required, they must be on the primary packaging. Primary packaging can be bundled together as well. Consumers can buy bottles of Coke sold in six-packs or cans of Coke in twelve-packs, for example.

Secondary packaging holds a single wholesale unit of a product. A case of M&M bags is an example, as are cartons of reams of paper. Secondary packaging is designed more for retailers than consumers. It does not have to carry warning or nutrition labels but is still likely to have brand marks and labels. Secondary packaging further protects the individual products during shipping.

Tertiary packaging is packaging designed specifically for shipping and efficiently handling large quantities. When a Coca-Cola bottler ships cases of Cokes to a grocery store, they are stacked on pallets (wooden platforms) and then wrapped in plastic. Pallets can be easily moved by a forklift truck and can even be moved within the grocery store by a small forklift.

Figure 6.17

Pallets stacked on pallets

This product is bound in tertiary packaging so that mass quantities of it can be stacked on pallets and moved with a forklift.

Mike Mozart – Pallets – CC BY 2.0.

A product’s packaging can benefit the customer beyond just protecting the offering while it’s being shipped. No-spill caps, for example, can make it easier for you to use your laundry detergent or prevent spills when you’re adding oil to your car’s engine. And, as we have noted, secondary packaging (and also tertiary packaging) can serve as part of an in-store display, thereby adding value for your retailers.

Key Takeaway

A brand is a name, picture, design, or symbol, or combination of those items, used by a seller to identify its offerings and differentiate them from competitors’ offerings. Branding is the set of activities designed to create a brand and position it relative to competing brands in the minds of consumers. An important decision companies must make is under which brand a new offering will be marketed. A brand extension involves utilizing an existing brand name or brand mark for a new product or category (line) of products. Cannibalization occurs when a company’s new offering eats into the sales of one of its older offerings. It is something to be avoided in most cases, but it can also be a sign of progress because it means a company is developing new and better products. Packaging protects products from damage, contamination, leakage, and tampering, but it is also used to communicate the brand and its benefits, product warnings, and proper use.

Review Questions

  1. How do brands help companies market their products?
  2. What is the purpose of a brand extension?
  3. Name the basic types of packaging used in marketing.

4 Keys to Small Business Success: Dream, Plan, Pray and Hard Work

All businesses start with a dream. Sometimes it’s a dream to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams or a dream of one day seeing your name on the door.  It could even be the dream to be able to take your family on the vacation of a lifetime or to start your own business so that you can call all the shots.  Regardless of the business, it all starts with a dream of the kind of life you want to have and how you see yourself living it.  In order to achieve, you must have a big picture vision for your life.  You need a life plan first, then build your business around that.  Begin with the end in mind, as Steve Covey says.  You need to know how big you want your business to get.  Do you just want one great bakery or a chain of bakeries with wholesale and retail operations? Regardless of your choice, you need to understand how much money you need to start a business that can exist like that.  You also need to be careful that your dreams do not convince you that you will be an overnight success.  There are few very of those. The formula for success in a small business is dream + plan + pray + hard work = success

The best thing you can do for your business is pray every day. One of other key ingredients in a successful business is patience, which can only come about through prayer.  In business, things rarely happen as you’ve planned them. The big contracts never seem to come in as you’ve projected and the checks are not always as big as you need them to be and sometimes that’s a hard pill to swallow.  Keep in mind that when a contract that you just knew you had falls through your fingers, it’s really a gift.  That client might have been a nightmare to deal with or did not pay timely.  After all my years in business, I’ve learned a critical lesson about business:  God and I do not wear the same watch, and his timing is perfect.  You must wait on the Lord.

My favorite bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; Lean not on thy own understanding, in all thy ways honor him and he will direct thy path.  When you pray there’s no need to worry about anything.  Things always work out, even if you have to change course.

The bible also says in James 2:20 Faith without works is dead.  You should not pray for a big check, and then make no sales calls. You must have a business plan with a marketing plan that spells out your sales process.   Do you have a system for cultivating sales? How many sales calls must be made in for you to close the book of business you need to pay all your bills in a month? Do you use a CRM or Customer Relationship Management tool to track your contacts?  You need a sales plan and you need to make sure that you working your sales plan so that you put yourself in a position for a blessing.  A good friend of mine likes to say God already did the hard work for us, all we must do our small part here on Earth.

How to build a brand strategy

How you’re building a brand strategy defines what you stand for, how you’re different from your competitors, and what personality you want to convey. Your brand will be the first thing people think of when they hear your company’s name. That’s why it’s crucial to carefully plan your branding strategies.
Building a Marketing & Brand Strategy to Set Yourself Apart
Your brand speaks volumes about your company, and sometimes, it’s without even using words. The different ways your brand is delivered to prospective clients include:
• The images you convey
• The messages you deliver on your website, proposals, and campaigns
• How your employees interact with customers
• A customer’s opinion of you versus your competition
To come up with a branding strategy, it’s important to first define: who are you? What does your business stand for? To do this, you can make an inventory of your skills. List out what you are especially good at and what you want your customers to think of when your brand comes to mind.

Second, what are your customers’ needs? You should define your brand based on how you can meet your customer’s needs in order to build value for future clients. To improve customer experience, start on the inside. Focus on getting your employees on board for a unified CX-DNA transformation. If you focus on infusing customer experience with your employees before you even get to your customers, you will have a culturally consistent and relevant CX solution.

Third, how are you different? Is your product less expensive? Does it work better? Do you meet the needs for a niche group of people your competitors haven’t marketed to before? Focus on what differentiates. No matter if you have a similar service to a competitor, ultimately what will set you apart is your brand experience.

Fourth, build a positive brand experience. What may be the deciding factor for a potential customer to choose your company over a competitor isn’t actually your service or product, but how they feel about working with you. Making an impact through customer experience is a key driver of customer loyalty.

8 Reasons to Hire an Experiential Marketing Agency

Are you looking to join the rapidly increasing number of brands taking their marketing efforts to the streets? Are you holding back because you think you can save money by doing it in-house? Whether you need to convince yourself, your team or your boss, these 8 reasons will show you why you need to hire an experiential marketing agency for your next brand activation.

1. Retain Complete Control

You define the agency’s role. An experiential marketing agency’s objective is to support you where you need it most. You have bigger things to focus on than tracking shipments, coordinating with activation sites or staff t-shirt sizes. An agency filters through the logistics so you focus on what’s important.

2. Score the Cream of the Crop

Agencies have the experience and connections to land you the best marketing vehicles, displays and brand ambassadors across the U.S. Great experiential marketing agencies will have an extensive inventory and network of supplies, vendors and talent that are well-seasoned in the industry. They have relationships in place that will help score the best prices for your budget, saving you the hours it takes to figure out what the market value for your need even is.

3. A Tried & True Process

Any master of their craft tests their methods and adjusts to optimize success. The more years in the industry, the more opportunity there is to boil down a tried & true turnkey event production and management process. You don’t have years to master event logistics, so hire a seasoned veteran!

4. Permits, Parking, Police

3 things no event planner loves to deal with; 3 things an agency will endure just for you.

5. Reporting to Your Boss

They want to know how many people showed up, how many samples were given out, how many posts to social media used your #hashtag, and all the other analytics needed to measure your return on investment (ROI). Tell an agency your key performance indicators and they’ll report the numbers!

6. It’s the Little Things

When you go to an agency that specializes in event logistics, you’re hiring experts of the event production industry: They know every ingredient, down to the fire extinguisher! Flowers, batteries, extension cords and dinner reservations for your team after the big launch are the small touches that make a difference.

7. Insurance

Ice cream can melt, tents can fly away, tires can go flat. A $2 million liability insurance plan keeps you covered when life happens.

8. On Time & On Budget

You’ll save both time and money when you outsource your brand activations. When your contract is signed, you have a team committed to keeping one eye on the calendar and the other on the bottom line. You’ll be notified of approaching deadlines and purchases will be made with your budget in mind.

In the end, you’re hiring experts to do expert work. As long as you hire an experiential marketing agency with a reputable list of clients, a diverse portfolio, and numbers that show results, you’ll be happy you avoided the headache and put your time and money in the hands of industry professionals.

The Five Pillars of Experiential Marketing1

The Experiential Marketing Summit is an annual conference that brings together leaders in the marketing world. At last year’s event, the Vice President of Experience Marketing at Adobe, Alex Amado, spoke about what he considers to be the five pillars of experiential marketing. Adobe is one brand that has embraced experiential marketing from the very beginning, so all eyes in the room were on him during this keynote address. Here’s a look at the five pillars of experiential marketing that make every event a success:

Design

The design of an experiential marketing event should be of the utmost importance to every brand. This doesn’t mean that the design of the event should just be visually appealing, but also that it should convey a strong message about your brand. Guests should immediately know who the brand is and what they stand for when they walk into an event.

The event should also be designed in a way that makes the experience easy to understand. For example, when GE wanted to host an event to show industry professionals how they were providing global healthcare solutions to impoverished countries around the world, they relied heavily on the event’s design. The company set up several “movie sets” designed to look like various parts of the world that they had helped, including rural African villages and emergency rooms. Then, doctors stood in front of each set to explain to guests how GE’s initiative was impacting these areas. During this event, the design was used to make an impact on guests and clearly illustrate the difference that GE was making around the world.

Community

An experiential marketing event should also embrace the community of the brand’s potential and existing customers. One brand that seamlessly incorporated their community into their experiential marketing event was Google.

Google announced plans to give away $5.5 million to nonprofit organizations in the San Francisco Bay area. Instead of letting executives decide where this money would go, the company enlisted the community’s help. Google set up interactive posters throughout the city in places such as bus shelters, restaurants, and shopping centers. The posters asked the community one simple question: where should the $5.5 million go? People in the community could then tap on the poster to vote for a specific cause such as helping parents and teachers connect, growing small businesses, or helping at-risk kids graduate.

This is a perfect example of how companies should embrace their communities. Google recognized that their donation could lead to significant change in the community, so they allowed the community to decide what needed to be changed. In this example, Google’s community was the actual community of San Francisco, but for many brands, the community is their target audience.

Engagement

Experiential marketing is all about engagement, so it’s no surprise that this is one of the five pillars of this strategy. In the past, brands engaged in one-way communication with their consumers. The brands sent messages via TV commercials, billboards, or print ads, and consumers did not have the ability to respond. But now, consumers demand that brands engage in two-way conversations with them. Consumers want to be able to provide feedback, share their concerns, and ask questions in order to gain a deeper understanding of the brand. Fortunately, this is all possible at experiential marketing events.

Guests should be able to test new products, speak with brand ambassadors, and participate in fun brand-related activities at an experiential marketing event. Even if guests are not actually purchasing the brand’s products, they are still engaging with the brand. Giving guests this type of positive experience is the first step to converting them into customers and building a lifelong relationship with them.

During the event planning process, marketers should constantly ask themselves how guests will engage with the brand. If there are not enough opportunities for guests to engage directly with the brand, changes need to be made in order for the event to be a success.

Data

Marketers should rely heavily on data both before and after an experiential marketing event. Before the event, marketers should use data to figure out where the event should be held, the best way to communicate to their target audience, and what results they should expect. After the event, marketers should analyze the data collected from the event to determine if the event was a success. This data should also be used to improve future events. For example, let’s say the data reveals that the vast majority of guests heard about the event on Instagram and none of the guests heard about the event on Twitter. When planning the next event, marketers should reference this data when determining the best way to invite members of their target audience.

Culture

Brands must have a customer-centric culture in order to plan successful experiential marketing events. If everyone in the company knows that the customer always comes first, this will help them make better decisions when it comes to planning and hosting an experiential marketing event. The event will truly be designed with the customer in mind, which makes it much more enjoyable for guests.

It’s important for brands to hire brand ambassadors that understand the idea of a customer-centric culture. The brand ambassadors will be the face of your brand during an experiential marketing event, so they must be trained to make sure every guest has a pleasant and memorable experience. If they don’t put the customers first, guests will assume that your company doesn’t either.

ABOUT FIELD MARKETING

WHAT IS FIELD MARKETING? Field marketing and marketing Service Provider Agency in Sunder Nagar is becoming more popular for companies in various industries. From food and beverage to consumer goods. It’s a tool that can be used to showcase latest products or services in a face to face environment with consumers. Furthermore companies recognise the importance of having brand ambassadors and reps on the ‘front line’ introducing the public to new innovations or delicious treats. This is done in the ‘field’; around shopping centers and in retail hot spots, expos and events, university campus’ and sport stadiums to name a few. Most campaign activities focus on customer facing roles including product demonstrations, direct selling and street training teams. However not all field marketing is consumer facing such as auditing and merchandising. Goals and outcomes of field marketing will differ from company to company. Some campaigns are designed to increase brand awareness or sales. While others may be to collect data and feedback about the product and its market. At Splatter we have all the tools necessary for the clients desired outcome to be achieved WHAT A FIELD MARKETING TEAM LOOKS LIKE. For successful field marketing campaigns companies might have dedicated teams within their business whose task it is to be creative and manage field marketing initiatives. However agencies are also on hand to support a campaign. By offering staff, management and infrastructure the client can focus on the more creative aspect of the campaign. A field marketing agency and  marketing Service Provider Agency in Sunder Nagar tends to work in territories operating with reps within their own regions. Often overlooked by regional or national managers depending on the scale of the team. Although territory management is more important for wide scale national distributing business, smaller brands are recognising the importance of managing promotions on a more local scale using teams to promote, audit and sell in their regions.

WHAT CAN FIELD MARKETING DO FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

1. PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONS

As mentioned already, demo days are a popular tool of field marketing. These campaigns can stretch from as little as one week to 6 months however some are continuous and full time. For consumer goods this would mean having brand representatives in retail stores and around shopping centers, events or road shows. Finally The Brand Ambassadors are engaging with the consumer and showing them how the product or service works. This is important as it allows a potential buyer to get hands on experience and a feel of ownership of the product; most importantly the rep is also on hand to answers any questions the customer may have. Although a sell is great the main aim of a demo campaign is brand awareness. Food and beverage take a slightly differently approach. By handing out free samples and one off deals of their product around retail and events, consumers are getting a taste of the brands latest delicious treats and at the same time everyone loves free food! Sampling is a fun activation and is effective when bringing new products to the high street. Marketing Training Learn more about product demonstrations by checking out our in depth guide here.

2. DIRECT SELLING

Much like product demonstrations these campaigns have brand reps or ambassadors at the center of them. The difference is it’s more about the selling of the product. Sales rep might have targets to adhere to. Finally these campaigns are super effective during peak times when the difference in a sale or not can be having a knowledgeable brand rep in store. Product Demonstrations Learn more about what direct selling is in our guide here.

3. RETAIL AUDITS AND MERCHANDISING

Auditing takes the reps out off the front line and away from the consumer. Auditing teams are used by marketers to monitor traditional marketing strategies that they put in place across retail. Most of all audits ensure that the brand is represented as it should be on shelves and around retail hot spots. Examples are; checking POS is as it should be across the territories, promotions advertised and running and paid spaces such as gondolas are set up. The data collected from the teams can be useful for the marketers to negotiate better future deals. In addition it also allows for mistakes to be rectified there and then by the reps. Splatter offer a live system that can be monitored by the client in real team meaning that red flags in the field can be dealt with instantaneously .Store Audits and Merchandising To learn more about Audits and merchandising view our guide here.

4. GUERRILLA MARKETING

When it comes to guerrilla marketing the gloves are off. They are usually low budget campaigns but with the right imagination and ideas they offer up some unprecedented results. Furthermore the term ‘Guerrilla Marketing’ itself is used to refer to campaigns that surprise consumers in locations and ways they might not usually expect. For that reason the experience remains with the consumer.

5. PRODUCT SAMPLING

FIELD MARKETING REP: These guys and girls are the cream of the crop, they are masters of everything. Sometimes they may be conducting training sessions on major proportion for a retailers whole selling team.

Field marketing as you have seen is a useful tool to accompany other traditional marketing strategies. For example a company might pay a huge amount of money for prime advertising spot during a major sports event. However if this is the case it is important for the brand to follow up with demos in stores. If there is a brand rep placed in store the following few days after the advertising campaign the customer is more likely to come over and ask some questions about the product. Another reason you might need field marketing is to ensure your budget has been well spent. After investing into a large scale in-store promotion campaign you want to ensure that it is implemented to the standard agreed with the retailer. Data can be collected by auditing teams and analysed to see if the money had been well spent. Furthermore it also gives opportunity for future campaigns to implemented with higher efficiency and success.

The Art of the 15-Minute Meeting

[siteorigin_widget class="SiteOrigin_Widget_Headline_Widget"][/siteorigin_widget]

At Brand Connections, innovation is the cornerstone of everything we do. It only makes sense that this would apply to our meeting strategy as well. One of our company pillars is Effectiveness and we strive to make procedures as effective as possible at every turn. Since instituting a policy to shorten meetings to fifteen minutes and maximize effectiveness, we’ve had some great results.

Studies show that one of the key things employees look at when evaluating their satisfaction at their job is the amount of time they have to complete projects, assignments, etc. Trimming the fat off meetings is a great way to maximize employee time, efficiency and, through those, satisfaction. We have a new policy in place to guarantee and regulate meetings, keeping them to 15 minutes (or ideally shorter). Here are a few procedures we’ve instituted to keep things on-focus and meeting minutes down to the most useful.

Go in with a Clear, Concise Plan (and STICK TO IT)

Innovation starts at the core. A company culture that embraces fast, to-the-point meetings breeds more time for thought-starting and creativity while also cutting down on those dull, sluggish minutes that can weigh down even the most proactive employee. Never start or agree to a meeting without a clear agenda. The reason you are meeting should be obvious from the get go. If someone invites you to or tries to start a meeting without an agenda, either decline or let them know you need them to send you a plan prior to the meeting’s start. This will help create habit and cut down on “nonsense time” in which colleagues gather and chat. Meetings shouldn’t be for socialization. That’s why we have water coolers.

Set a time for your meeting. The time limit should be in that all-important, handy-dandy agenda. Setting a time limit is simple. The hard part is actually adhering to it. Luckily, there is a simple, easy solution to make sure your meetings don’t run overtime. Bring a timer. Yes, a timer, preferably a very loud, very obnoxious one. The standard kitchen egg timer works phenomenally. Once the timer goes off the meeting is over. Period.

Employees will quickly find that innovation breeds innovation and, with the proper culture instilled, that they are firing on all cylinders.

Take Operational Steps 

Okay, so we’ve got our agenda and our time limit, great. But how do we get everyone to adhere to 15-minute meetings? The answer comes from an operational perspective. The best way to make and keep meetings short and on point is to make them the norm. There should be no laptops or cell phones allowed in meetings. Create a bin or some other receptacle at the door of meetings that people must drop their electronic devices in. The less distractions the better. We’ve found that focus forces focus and with a culture that embraces new ways of operating, the gears run smoothly and processes improve as planned.

Change Your Calendar Setting

If your company uses a calendar/scheduler like Microsoft Outlook, you can actually change your default meeting time from a half hour to 15 minutes. Making this change will cut down on accidental scheduling of 30-minute (or longer) meetings, while also reminding coworkers or employees of the importance of keeping meetings concise and efficient. Small, constant reminders are a key psychological stimulant in creating new habits.

Hold a Meeting

Now, for many, this may seem counterintuitive. Why hold a meeting about saving time in meetings? That’s because meetings are still the best and most effective way to inform your peers on the importance of using time efficiently and get them on the same page. As a kicker; you can hold your company’s first official 15-minute meeting. Use this meeting as a focused example of a way to run a meeting that is information-focused and effective.

But… but how do I hold a real, honest-to-goodness 15-minute meeting? I’m not ready! I’m NOT READY!

Have no fear! We have our own agenda, one proven to work, that you (yes you) can use as a template for setting up your own 15-minute meeting. Here’s a checklist you can adhere to:

  1. Begin Meeting 1 min
    • Overview of agenda/format
  1. Summary of Concern 2 min
    • Problem Identification (the What)
    • Problem Analysis (the Why)
    • Define Solution Measurement (the How)
  1. Create Goal (Meeting owner defines prior to meeting) 1 min
    • Deliverables (the When)
  1. Strategy and Solution Planning 8 min
    • Brainstorm solution
    • Judge
    • Refine
  1. Assign Responsibilities 2 min
    • Who is responsible
    • Who is accountable
    • Who supports
    • Who is consulted
    • Who is informed
  1. Decide on Follow-up Date 1 min
    • Define due dates for each deliverable
  1. POST MEETING
    • Add tasks to a project tracker or personal calendars

But now, even with guidelines, ideas and regulations are you still, still doubting the 15-minute meeting and its possibility? There are a couple more ground-breaking procedures you can try.

Walking & Standing Meetings

Things still too casual? Take the chairs away. We don’t mean punish your peers by making them stand at their desks. Just for the meeting. The concept is that the more uncomfortable people get, the quicker the meeting will go, which makes sense. The standing meeting eliminates superfluous lounging and excess time being wasted. However, the only benefit of the standing meeting is not an issue of time. Scientific study shows that standing meetings produce more excitement about the creative process and better collaboration on ideas.

You can even take the standing meeting one step further and create a walking meeting. Studies show that the increased blood flow from movement during meetings increases creativity, volume of ideas and even passion about those concepts. The walking meeting is also popular around our halls. It’s always refreshing to have some planned time away from the desk or even outside. Take a quick walk with a colleague and a notepad to your nearest coffee shop. You’ll be amazed at what you produce in such a short time. Some have even been known to go ice skating on walking meetings, but we wouldn’t know anything about that…

Door To Door Marketing

Face to Face Marketing and Door to Door Marketing 

Nothing beats the reality that one gets when you can interact with potential clients face to face physically moving from door to door within a community or household to household, face to face field marketing is also called personal selling or door to door marketing, customers are met directly in order to sell their products, using this method of field marketing we rely on our skills and persuasive abilities.

[siteorigin_widget class="SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget"][/siteorigin_widget]

Door-to-door marketing is a canvassing technique that is generally used for sales, marketing, advertising, or campaigning, in which the person or persons walk from the door of one house to the door of another, trying to sell or advertise a product or service to the general public or gather information. People who use this sales approach are often called traveling salesmen, or the archaic name drummer, to “drum up” business. This technique is also sometimes called direct sales. A variant of this involves cold calling first, when another sales representative attempts to gain agreement that a salesperson should visit.

With the realization of telephone “Do Not Call” lists it is becoming increasingly more difficult to connect with consumers and business people. An emerging trend is the deployment of very professional, highly skilled door-to-door canvassers to drive product sales and brand awareness.

Coordinating, training and motivating these teams to produce results are at the very core of Fulcrum’s proven capabilities. Fulcrum has the knowledge and experience required to implement these programs, such as best days and times to canvass, who will sell the most product; male, female, young or mature and what geographics and demographics respond best to door-to-door marketing. Put Fulcrum’s experience to work for you and avoid the costly mistakes of trying to manage these programs in-house.


Hire and Train Door-to-Door Marketing Team

If you’re in charge of hiring people, that typically means that you’ve found success in Door To Door Marketing yourself. You know what it takes to be great, but now you’re stuck with an entirely new problem. How do you find others who will be just as good (if not better) and will stick around and grow into important influencers invested in the long term growth of the company? A great D2D sales company is a great recruiting company. So what does that greatness look like?

First off, you need to realize that you’re not going to hire a superstar every time. If you think you have found one, be careful. It’s not hard for someone to seem golden during one interview and you don’t want to be fooled.

Even if you think the candidate does have a lot of great experience working in the field for other companies, you have to realize that success doesn’t always translate. What worked for them at previous companies probably won’t work as well for you. In fact, their success will probably make them stubborn; after all, what reason do they have to follow your approach when they’ve figured out their own?

It’s also possible that the rep’s previous company might have had much better-developed training and selling systems than you do, and that system was the key reason they killed it. If you’re not developing a competitive system, what does that communicate about your company? The more dialed-in you are about a rep’s success, the more likely you are to attract and keep strong performers.

The Art of the 15-Minute Meeting

[siteorigin_widget class="SiteOrigin_Widget_Headline_Widget"][/siteorigin_widget]

At Brand Connections, innovation is the cornerstone of everything we do. It only makes sense that this would apply to our meeting strategy as well. One of our company pillars is Effectiveness and we strive to make procedures as effective as possible at every turn. Since instituting a policy to shorten meetings to fifteen minutes and maximize effectiveness, we’ve had some great results.

Studies show that one of the key things employees look at when evaluating their satisfaction at their job is the amount of time they have to complete projects, assignments, etc. Trimming the fat off meetings is a great way to maximize employee time, efficiency and, through those, satisfaction. We have a new policy in place to guarantee and regulate meetings, keeping them to 15 minutes (or ideally shorter). Here are a few procedures we’ve instituted to keep things on-focus and meeting minutes down to the most useful.

Go in with a Clear, Concise Plan (and STICK TO IT)

Innovation starts at the core. A company culture that embraces fast, to-the-point meetings breeds more time for thought-starting and creativity while also cutting down on those dull, sluggish minutes that can weigh down even the most proactive employee. Never start or agree to a meeting without a clear agenda. The reason you are meeting should be obvious from the get go. If someone invites you to or tries to start a meeting without an agenda, either decline or let them know you need them to send you a plan prior to the meeting’s start. This will help create habit and cut down on “nonsense time” in which colleagues gather and chat. Meetings shouldn’t be for socialization. That’s why we have water coolers.

Set a time for your meeting. The time limit should be in that all-important, handy-dandy agenda. Setting a time limit is simple. The hard part is actually adhering to it. Luckily, there is a simple, easy solution to make sure your meetings don’t run overtime. Bring a timer. Yes, a timer, preferably a very loud, very obnoxious one. The standard kitchen egg timer works phenomenally. Once the timer goes off the meeting is over. Period.

Employees will quickly find that innovation breeds innovation and, with the proper culture instilled, that they are firing on all cylinders.

Take Operational Steps 

Okay, so we’ve got our agenda and our time limit, great. But how do we get everyone to adhere to 15-minute meetings? The answer comes from an operational perspective. The best way to make and keep meetings short and on point is to make them the norm. There should be no laptops or cell phones allowed in meetings. Create a bin or some other receptacle at the door of meetings that people must drop their electronic devices in. The less distractions the better. We’ve found that focus forces focus and with a culture that embraces new ways of operating, the gears run smoothly and processes improve as planned.

Change Your Calendar Setting

If your company uses a calendar/scheduler like Microsoft Outlook, you can actually change your default meeting time from a half hour to 15 minutes. Making this change will cut down on accidental scheduling of 30-minute (or longer) meetings, while also reminding coworkers or employees of the importance of keeping meetings concise and efficient. Small, constant reminders are a key psychological stimulant in creating new habits.

Hold a Meeting

Now, for many, this may seem counterintuitive. Why hold a meeting about saving time in meetings? That’s because meetings are still the best and most effective way to inform your peers on the importance of using time efficiently and get them on the same page. As a kicker; you can hold your company’s first official 15-minute meeting. Use this meeting as a focused example of a way to run a meeting that is information-focused and effective.

But… but how do I hold a real, honest-to-goodness 15-minute meeting? I’m not ready! I’m NOT READY!

Have no fear! We have our own agenda, one proven to work, that you (yes you) can use as a template for setting up your own 15-minute meeting. Here’s a checklist you can adhere to:

  1. Begin Meeting 1 min
    • Overview of agenda/format
  1. Summary of Concern 2 min
    • Problem Identification (the What)
    • Problem Analysis (the Why)
    • Define Solution Measurement (the How)
  1. Create Goal (Meeting owner defines prior to meeting) 1 min
    • Deliverables (the When)
  1. Strategy and Solution Planning 8 min
    • Brainstorm solution
    • Judge
    • Refine
  1. Assign Responsibilities 2 min
    • Who is responsible
    • Who is accountable
    • Who supports
    • Who is consulted
    • Who is informed
  1. Decide on Follow-up Date 1 min
    • Define due dates for each deliverable
  1. POST MEETING
    • Add tasks to a project tracker or personal calendars

But now, even with guidelines, ideas and regulations are you still, still doubting the 15-minute meeting and its possibility? There are a couple more ground-breaking procedures you can try.

Walking & Standing Meetings

Things still too casual? Take the chairs away. We don’t mean punish your peers by making them stand at their desks. Just for the meeting. The concept is that the more uncomfortable people get, the quicker the meeting will go, which makes sense. The standing meeting eliminates superfluous lounging and excess time being wasted. However, the only benefit of the standing meeting is not an issue of time. Scientific study shows that standing meetings produce more excitement about the creative process and better collaboration on ideas.

You can even take the standing meeting one step further and create a walking meeting. Studies show that the increased blood flow from movement during meetings increases creativity, volume of ideas and even passion about those concepts. The walking meeting is also popular around our halls. It’s always refreshing to have some planned time away from the desk or even outside. Take a quick walk with a colleague and a notepad to your nearest coffee shop. You’ll be amazed at what you produce in such a short time. Some have even been known to go ice skating on walking meetings, but we wouldn’t know anything about that…

[siteorigin_widget class="SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget"][/siteorigin_widget]

Door-to-door marketing is a canvassing technique that is generally used for sales, marketing, advertising, or campaigning, in which the person or persons walk from the door of one house to the door of another, trying to sell or advertise a product or service to the general public or gather information. People who use this sales approach are often called traveling salesmen, or the archaic name drummer, to “drum up” business. This technique is also sometimes called direct sales. A variant of this involves cold calling first, when another sales representative attempts to gain agreement that a salesperson should visit.

With the realization of telephone “Do Not Call” lists it is becoming increasingly more difficult to connect with consumers and business people. An emerging trend is the deployment of very professional, highly skilled door-to-door canvassers to drive product sales and brand awareness.

Coordinating, training and motivating these teams to produce results are at the very core of Fulcrum’s proven capabilities. Fulcrum has the knowledge and experience required to implement these programs, such as best days and times to canvass, who will sell the most product; male, female, young or mature and what geographics and demographics respond best to door-to-door marketing. Put Fulcrum’s experience to work for you and avoid the costly mistakes of trying to manage these programs in-house.

B2B Experiential Marketing – When does it work?

What is experiential marketing? On the rise in recent years, RWA Marketing agent in pune and experiential marketing is all about customer interaction with your brand. It offers a unique experience with products or services, allowing customers to get a feel for how they would use it in their lives. For years marketers have been trying to get customers to use and trial their products. In this way it’s not a new concept; there have however, certainly been some innovative spins on how it’s done. Let’s look at experiential marketing, how it can work for B2Bs and some of the ways it can help build your brand.

Emotional + Experiential Branding = Experiential Marketing The two elements that underpin experiential marketing are emotional branding and experiential branding.

Emotional branding: is about building the relationship between your brand and customers. Promoting emotional benefits like brand trust, security and credibility as a result of engaging with your brand is crucial. Experiential branding: designs and creates interactions that are sensory in nature, which emotionally influences preferences, shaping brand perception, and influencing satisfaction and loyalty. An excellent experiential marketing campaign is able to fuse both elements seamlessly together. Experiential Marketing for B2Bs In recent years interest in B2B experiential marketing has grown and some of the initial hesitation surrounding it has been replaced with a working understanding, when to do it, and how it stimulates ROI. For B2Bs, experiential marketing is generally less obvious, with the focus often on services (for example) in place of B2C exciting product launches. Oftentimes the B2B budget is also stretched. However we are seeing marketers begin to recognise the potentials that the experience can offer consumers. “The success of brand experience within the B2C market has not gone unnoticed, and B2B marketers are waking up to the potential of brand experience. However, there is a long way to go before they catch up with their B2C counterparts.” – Graham Ede, Ion Group 3 Examples of B2B experiential marketing Location with B2Bs can be one of the major barriers, and while it may not be easy to do experiential marketing in quite the same way as B2C, there’s certainly room to employ some of the same principals. Creating sensory interactions that promote core feelings of trust, and awareness of your product or services is central to this. Fulcrum marketing in public spaces – Linked with experiential, some marketers use a form of Fulcrum marketing. They tend to hold this drive in places where there are high concentrations of business buyers. Branded promotional staff can offer business people the opportunity to enter in a promotion, or sign up to attend an event whilst promoting the benefits of the product.  demonstrations & reward – as part of a targeted marketing strategy, those in the IT space can offer information via webinar or video, which can showcase some aspects of the technology solution. Some marketing and web-based tools such as  offer a free trial period, together with online coaching via Skype. This allows the user to build confidence in using the tool, and to experience all of the benefits of the trial period. At the end of the trial period (7 days), the participant is given a report with feedback on how well they have used the tool. Then they are awarded a certificate. Surprises and games – Surprising customers by showing up where they least expect you, gifting them, or sending them a card is a way to provide an out of the box experience and drive brand awareness. Another option could be to exhibit at a partner’s event as IBM did. Their interactive stand came complete with a candy bar, and plasma screens which posted live tweets from event attendees. Digital technology such as apps and games are also opportunity areas, and while often costly, look set to become more widespread and affordable in future. Experiential marketing reflects the growing importance of emphasising emotions to build successful brands. Digital media offers expanding opportunities to offer such experiences. In the ever-competitive B2B marketplace, it’s no longer enough to rely on traditional modes for lead generation. B2B marketers need to consider the complete kit that is available to them including; social media, mobile, search, paid advertising, print, telemarketing and increasingly placing emotion at the heart of it all with an experiential approach.

The Art of the 15-Minute Meeting

[siteorigin_widget class="SiteOrigin_Widget_Headline_Widget"][/siteorigin_widget]

One of our company pillars is Effectiveness and we strive to make procedures as effective as possible at every turn. Since instituting a policy to shorten meetings to fifteen minutes and maximize effectiveness, we’ve had some great results.

Studies show that one of the key things employees look at when evaluating their satisfaction at their job is the amount of time they have to complete projects, assignments, etc. Trimming the fat off meetings is a great way to maximize employee time, efficiency and, through those, satisfaction. We have a new policy in place to guarantee and regulate meetings, keeping them to 15 minutes (or ideally shorter).

Innovation starts at the core. A company culture that embraces fast, to-the-point meetings breeds more time for thought-starting and creativity while also cutting down on those dull, sluggish minutes that can weigh down even the most proactive employee. Never start or agree to a meeting without a clear agenda. The reason you are meeting should be obvious from the get go. If someone invites you to or tries to start a meeting without an agenda, either decline or let them know you need them to send you a plan prior to the meeting’s start. This will help create habit and cut down on “nonsense time” in which colleagues gather and chat. Meetings shouldn’t be for socialization. That’s why we have water coolers.

Set a time for your meeting. The time limit should be in that all-important, handy-dandy agenda. Setting a time limit is simple. The hard part is actually adhering to it. Luckily, there is a simple, easy solution to make sure your meetings don’t run overtime. Bring a timer. Yes, a timer, preferably a very loud, very obnoxious one. The standard kitchen egg timer works phenomenally. Once the timer goes off the meeting is over. Period.

Employees will quickly find that innovation breeds innovation and, with the proper culture instilled, that they are firing on all cylinders.

Take Operational Steps 

Okay, so we’ve got our agenda and our time limit, great. But how do we get everyone to adhere to 15-minute meetings? The answer comes from an operational perspective. The best way to make and keep meetings short and on point is to make them the norm. There should be no laptops or cell phones allowed in meetings. Create a bin or some other receptacle at the door of meetings that people must drop their electronic devices in. The less distractions the better. We’ve found that focus forces focus and with a culture that embraces new ways of operating, the gears run smoothly and processes improve as planned.

Change Your Calendar Setting

If your company uses a calendar/scheduler like Microsoft Outlook, you can actually change your default meeting time from a half hour to 15 minutes. Making this change will cut down on accidental scheduling of 30-minute (or longer) meetings, while also reminding coworkers or employees of the importance of keeping meetings concise and efficient. Small, constant reminders are a key psychological stimulant in creating new habits.

Hold a Meeting

Now, for many, this may seem counterintuitive. Why hold a meeting about saving time in meetings? That’s because meetings are still the best and most effective way to inform your peers on the importance of using time efficiently and get them on the same page. As a kicker; you can hold your company’s first official 15-minute meeting. Use this meeting as a focused example of a way to run a meeting that is information-focused and effective.

But… but how do I hold a real, honest-to-goodness 15-minute meeting? I’m not ready! I’m NOT READY!

Have no fear! We have our own agenda, one proven to work, that you (yes you) can use as a template for setting up your own 15-minute meeting. Here’s a checklist you can adhere to:

  1. Begin Meeting 1 min
    • Overview of agenda/format
  1. Summary of Concern 2 min
    • Problem Identification (the What)
    • Problem Analysis (the Why)
    • Define Solution Measurement (the How)
  1. Create Goal (Meeting owner defines prior to meeting) 1 min
    • Deliverables (the When)
  1. Strategy and Solution Planning 8 min
    • Brainstorm solution
    • Judge
    • Refine
  1. Assign Responsibilities 2 min
    • Who is responsible
    • Who is accountable
    • Who supports
    • Who is consulted
    • Who is informed
  1. Decide on Follow-up Date 1 min
    • Define due dates for each deliverable
  1. POST MEETING
    • Add tasks to a project tracker or personal calendars

But now, even with guidelines, ideas and regulations are you still, still doubting the 15-minute meeting and its possibility? There are a couple more ground-breaking procedures you can try.

Walking & Standing Meetings

Things still too casual? Take the chairs away. We don’t mean punish your peers by making them stand at their desks. Just for the meeting. The concept is that the more uncomfortable people get, the quicker the meeting will go, which makes sense. The standing meeting eliminates superfluous lounging and excess time being wasted. However, the only benefit of the standing meeting is not an issue of time. Scientific study shows that standing meetings produce more excitement about the creative process and better collaboration on ideas.

You can even take the standing meeting one step further and create a walking meeting. Studies show that the increased blood flow from movement during meetings increases creativity, volume of ideas and even passion about those concepts. The walking meeting is also popular around our halls. It’s always refreshing to have some planned time away from the desk or even outside. Take a quick walk with a colleague and a notepad to your nearest coffee shop. You’ll be amazed at what you produce in such a short time. Some have even been known to go ice skating on walking meetings, but we wouldn’t know anything about that…

Door-to-door marketing is a canvassing technique that is generally used for sales, marketing, advertising, or campaigning, in which the person or persons walk from the door of one house to the door of another, trying to sell or advertise a product or service to the general public or gather information. People who use this sales approach are often called traveling salesmen, or the archaic name drummer, to “drum up” business. This technique is also sometimes called direct sales. A variant of this involves cold calling first, when another sales representative attempts to gain agreement that a salesperson should visit.

With the realization of telephone “Do Not Call” lists it is becoming increasingly more difficult to connect with consumers and business people. An emerging trend is the deployment of very professional, highly skilled door-to-door canvassers to drive product sales and brand awareness.

Coordinating, training and motivating these teams to produce results are at the very core of Fulcrum’s proven capabilities.

Hire and Train Door-to-Door Marketing Team

If you’re in charge of hiring people, that typically means that you’ve found success in Door To Door Marketing yourself. You know what it takes to be great, but now you’re stuck with an entirely new problem. How do you find others who will be just as good (if not better) and will stick around and grow into important influencers invested in the long term growth of the company? A great D2D sales company is a great recruiting company. So what does that greatness look like?

First off, you need to realize that you’re not going to hire a superstar every time. If you think you have found one, be careful. It’s not hard for someone to seem golden during one interview and you don’t want to be fooled.

Even if you think the candidate does have a lot of great experience working in the field for other companies, you have to realize that success doesn’t always translate. What worked for them at previous companies probably won’t work as well for you. In fact, their success will probably make them stubborn; after all, what reason do they have to follow your approach when they’ve figured out their own?

It’s also possible that the rep’s previous company might have had much better-developed training and selling systems than you do, and that system was the key reason they killed it. If you’re not developing a competitive system, what does that communicate about your company? The more dialed-in you are about a rep’s success, the more likely you are to attract and keep strong performers.
