Consumer Brand Support
The best marketing efforts
can be thwarted by poor field execution. Imagine the
possibilities for promotions to become ineffective at retail:
-
POS
materials not delivered to outlets
-
POS materials
set up improperly at outlets
-
POS materials not
set up at outlets--at all
-
Unit employees
not trained to mention promotional products
-
Employees do not
understand the promotion
Mystery shoppers and
field auditor can determine the extent of participation in promotions,
availability of materials on-site and correct positioning.
Studies are accomplished
quickly, to allow time for re-distribution of promotional products or
support materials to maximize the promotion.
