30. Walmart:
“The partnership provided Walmart
with a full spectrum of relevant
shopper marketing touchpoints that
demonstrated our commitment to the
Grilled & Ready brand. The customer
was excited we focused our efforts on a
healthy offering that tied nicely with a
non-frozen category.”
What are retailers are saying……
Kroger:
Awesome collaboration
between Tyson & Kroger
resulting in incremental
volume and displays as part
of Kroger’s Meal Solutions.
Based on the success of this
program Kroger specifically
the meat department is
looking for other partnerships
to drive incremental volume,
dollars, and building the
basket cart.
Meijer:
Tom (Meijer) really liked the program. It
was a great opportunity to provide a
meal solution while partnering with
another strong brand and leveraging
Meijer’s shopper marketing vehicles to
create value to the consumer, Meijer,
CPG and Tyson.

Industry partnerships return 31% better than the industry norm, on average.
3 Reasons Why:
Shopper solution steeped in insights
Strong retailer support
Best practices from knowing what works
While partnership events save money through shared costs, partnership events are more highly integrated with more touch points across the path-to-purchase, so the total spend as a percent of revenue is higher. The actual cost for the amount of marketing reach is lower. These highly integrated events that are based on deep shopper insights and provide a relevant solution have tremendous sales lift rates for both the brand and the category.
It’s always a good thing when partners know each other.
But you need synergies
Discovery process – created an opportunities Deck Oct 2014 – took almost a year to lock in the partnership! see attached in appendix -
WOW Aug 2015 – see attached in appendix
Setting of the goals - Partnership Brief signed off by both parties – aligned on budgets, retailers, KPIs etc - Aug 2015
Set up a timeline for programming – see excel file
Edge/IN put platform ideas together and we aligned on the One Bowl Wonder! (Hearty Salads for the wintertime)
Developed customer plans
Creative brief was produced for KV
Engaged culinary teams for joint recipes and held a photo shoot/videos
JPA was completed
Sales Deck developed with category story and webinar held with the field – see appendix
Single Product or Brand Focused Partnerships
Scale Programs
Media Partnerships – Entertainment Properties for ‘new’ news
Do they have a similar type of HH’s that my brand has and or wants to grow?
How many new HH’s and shoppers am I going to get from this partnership? Is it large enough to be worth my time and investment?
Do they have some expertise/credibility that we don’t have?
Does their brand and/or name have a good reputation?
Recommendation:
Identify what brand partnerships make sense from a national or shopper level
Align on criteria to partner (must be x, y z), etc.
Develop the pre-work up front to determine the right partnerships
Create a time table to secure partner and next steps if partnership does not come to life
Determine what success looks like for your organization as well as for the partnership
BASKET RELEVANCE
% of HH’s who buy this product (or category and the index score
SHOPPER APPEAL
Will this type of product/brand appeal to our shopper (i.e. are the demographics similar)?
DRIVE PERIOD RELEVANCE
How relevant is the partner brand to the desired time period and shopper mindset (BTS, Holiday, etc.,)
FUNCTIONAL MIX:
USAGE OCCASIONS
How well does the partner brand/category fit the usage occasion for our brand?
PURCHASE FREQUENCY
How often is the product purchased, will drive traffic?
DISTRIBUTION/ ACCESSIBILITY
Is the product widely available, making the partnership easier to coordinate?
PRICE POINT
Is the brand priced consistently with our brand?
The roles of the manufacturer is to develop the partnership brief, including objs & strats, KPIs, budgets, customers etc, provide approvals
The role of the Agency is to develop the shopper plan, coordinate approvals, enforce timelines, develop creative, manage execution
The role of the Research Agency is to coordinate data input, provide program analysis, evaluate data and share implications

The results of these partner programs for Tyson unfortunately is confidential. So I will show you results from 15 other top CPG companies instead, well not individually, we’d be here all day. We have measured the ROI for over 20k SM events from hundreds of brands, all major channels and all major retailers and combined them into an industry norms database for benchmarking`and best practice learning. Today we pulled out the partnership programs to show you why they work so well. This will be a good demonstration of How Tyson and their partners use the ROI measurement to plan better programs. . . . Though I can’t show you Tyson results, just between you and me . . . The programs did very well. . . . And the Tyson results are included in these industry results.
Partnership programs are just one of the top ten best practices we have identified that regularly create high returns. Insights-based shopper solutions is another top 10 best practice. You can see the ROI average for these programs is well above the industry norm, though only about 1/3 of programs follow this best practice. Even fewer programs have external partners. They are about as rare as marriage these days.
Other ways to drive success are to customize your programs to your retailers. Tyson knows what works at their retailers and uses this knowledge quite well. Oh . . . well there is one retailer, we have some new questions on and are still trying to figure out, and we will. Know what works for your categories. Integrate trade well. OK, you all are smart SMers right. How many of you knew this? How many of you knew how much impact these best practices have? Well, remember that these are averages and not every program performs on average. The real learning is in the individual programs. Did you do as well as you expected? Why or why not? What can you to improve?
The first thing we break down is the parts of the PTP. SM Advertising tactics do better than coupons in partnership events, which makes sense, the power of the partnership is in the concept and the message. Coupons in partner events also do well because redemptions increase from cross-purchasing behavior. The big driver of success id the pre-store SM execution is, I think because that is where most of the partnership –planning focuses. There are some opportunities in store and we will see why. Many restrictions in store.
Next we break down the ROI by tactic into the cost of the marketing reach and the reach conversion to sales. Costs go down from sharing so ROI goes up. The sales conversion or ad lift elasticity from the reach is above norm, so ROI goes up, especially for Social.
In store we see a different picture. This really got me wondering. It could be that the in store tactics are higher quality and cost more, like bigger signs. Though, when we see that, we usually see the lift rates go up too . . But they are below norm. I think there is some of that in here. The lift rates are for just one of the products. So if you include all of the partnership products, you’ll see above norm sales lifts.
Another best practice is a specific integration strategy we call full PTP. This is when you reach shoppers both at home and in the store, but also deliver both a message and an offer it works over and over. Only about 1/3 of all 20k events do this. Though if you trend it, it is getting higher as our customers are learning about how to use this strategy effectively.
Partnership programs are much more likely to be FPTP than solo events, partly because they have more to communicate and partly because they can share costs.
Good trade integration with SM also drives higher SM ROI. Partnership events are tougher to integrate trade with because you have more partners. There is a big opportunity to bring your customer teams and customers into the partnership program planning early fro stronger integration.
Both partnerships and good trade integration help to grow the category too, which of course is what your customers want. Now, let me show you both the brand ROI and category growth results together
file:///\\ROI-DC01\Foresight\Foresight%20Capabilities%20Development\Benchmarking%20Analyses\Datasets\SF%20Analysis%20Best%20Practice%20Benchmarks%20EventTEMP.xlsx
Here we plotted the different types of events with SM Brand ROI from low to high going across and the category growth impact vertically from low to high. Partnership events with high trade integration are way up in the Both Win quad because they have very strong results for both partners. Partnerships with low trade integration do grow the category, but below the norm, though have above norm SM Brand ROI. We call these Brand Wins.
So here is how the 9 Tyson events in this partnership campaign performed on the best practices. You can see that they have a great hit rate. Ill let Wendyjean tell you more.
