Choosing the ad agency and commissioning the campaign.

Big comapanies usually organise TENDERS to decide the best ad agency to promote their product.

A company winning the TENDER may even need to contract more people to carry

out the project.

Use the SANDWICH APPROACH when contacting your ad agency: begin and end your email/letter/conversation with positive feedback (the bread) and put any criticism in the middle (the filling). That way you begin and end on a positive note and it is more likely that the person you are criticizing will still feel confident and motivated. The following is an example: PHOTOC PAGE 33

Many companies organise social events for their clients and business partners. That provides an excellent opportunity for business people to “meet and greet” in an informal setting. These “meetings” focus on relationship-building through small talk and introducing mutual friends. They are a good chance to speak to the competition and find out more about one’s rivals.

Listen to the radio from the BBC on Business socialising.

Socialising

FINDING THE CUSTOMER:Analysing the feasibility of the project; doing market research; talking to customers.

SOURCES OF AVAILABLE DATA:

-Sales and purchasing statistics (by studing your sales records, for instance, you see what facts you already have about the people who buy from you).

-Geographical statistics.

-Panel surveys (A longitudinal study in which variables are measured on the same units/samples over time.

For example, studying the musical taste of a specific sector of the population which ranges from 15 to 20 years old and repeating the same survey among the same sector of the population after periodical periods of time). In contrast to panel surveys, we have cross-sectional studies can be used to estimate change by asking questions about past behaviour.

COLLECTION OF NEW DATA:

- Individual interviews-Street interview-Postal survey (by mail)-Email surveys. (They can be done, for instance, to the most loyal customers. This is called DIRECT MARKETING).-Telephone surveys: photoc. Page 15.-Feedback forms: forms to know about your company’s performance. Thus you know the level of satisfaction of your clients. They may include questions such as “please tell us if you plan on doing business with us again/consult professionalism/consult overall performance/ rate the quality of your meal: excellent, good, sufficient, abismal/please enter any request you may have below…”).-Social events.

When organising your marketing plan, take into account what is called the MARKETING MIX, that is to say, the four Ps:

- product- price- place (=distribution) - promotion.

-Product: why do people want to buy your product?

-Price: what factors affect your price?

-Place: when and where is your product available to customers? Which kind of stores would I like to be sellers of my product?

-Promotion: list the ways in which you reach customers. What are your contact points?

PLACE: These are some types of shop which can become sellers of your product. Match the definitions with the name of the shop:

Chain stores – convenience stores – franchises – high-street shops - hypermarkets mail-order stores – online stores – outlet stores

a. Large no-frills stores located outside the town centre OUTLET STORESb. Stores selling thorough the Internet ............ONLINE STORES......c. Independently-owned shops licensed to trade under the same name .FRANCHISE...............d. Shops located in the centre of town .....HIGH-STREET SHOPS.............e. Shops run by a single company with multiple locations around the country...CHAIN..........f. Very large stores that sells groceries, clothes, and many other products..HYPERMARKETS..............g. Stores selling through a catalogue posted to customers ..MAIL-ORDER STORES................h. Small, independently-owned stores selling essential products CONVENIENCE STORES................

PRICING MODELS:

1.Captive product pricing2.Economy pricing3.Geographical pricing4.Penetration pricing5.Premium pricing6.Price skimming

a.Pricing goods/services as cheaply as possible.b.Charging a high price for an item where you have a competitive advantage (“the quality justifies the cost”).c.Charging a high price for a unique high-quality item.d.Pricing goods at a very low price to encourage people to buy them – often the prices are later raised.e.Pricing according to area where goods are sold. (cheaper in countries with a lower per-capita income).f.Pricing one item very low and its complement very high. (cheap printers and expensive cartridges)

CREATING ADDS

-Use convincing adjectives: reliable, easy to use, luxurious, good value for money, trustworthy, innovative, unusual, user friendly...-Emphasize what makes you different from the competition (price, delivery services, after-sales service...)-Offer trial periods or money-back guarantees which encourage your customers to try a new product.-Use white space in written ads (don’t make people bored; put yourself on your client’s shoes (focus on benefits,etc); build rapport by saying you/your; use product endorsements (=quotes from satisfied clients); call to action!.

Remember the AIDA model:

Catch the audience’s AttentionMake them InterestedCreate DesireAnd state the Action the audience should take (e.g.Call now!)

Some examples of successful ads:

Advertisements should be in some way UNIQUE:

-Sad -Surprising-Impressive-Funny-Short-Catchy slogan: A catchy slogan often adopts a figure of speech that makes it easier to say, alludes to a concept beyond simple description and/or makes it more memorable. Different kinds of figures of speech: rhyme, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, play on words usually to create an ambiguous meaning, alliteration (the same letter at the beginning of each word), etc. These figures of speech become a kind of mind glues for the audience and allow the ad to stay in their mind even when the ad is long gone.

The Anaguilla experience – feeling is believing. (Anguilla = islands in the Caribean).

Belize. Mother nature’s best kept secret. (Belize (country in Central America, north of Mexico).

California, find yourself here.

Croatia. The Mediterranean as it once was.

Visit Finland. Breathe.

See the world. Visit London.

Namibia. Land of contrasts. (southwest of Africa)

I love NY.

Some good slogans for countries/cities:

Just do it. (Nike)I’m lovin´ it! (McDonalds)Think different. (Apple computer)Liberty, equality and fraternity (French revolution)Melts in your mouth. (M&M chocolate candy)The ultimate driving machine (BMV)
