Online makes up 22.5% of national spending, but only 7.5% of available co-op dollars. Remember that online constitutes over 22% of national spending – this means that the co-op industry is offering less than 1/3 of what they should be in terms of digital. Position this as an advantage to brands that jump on this – there is a goldmine of opportunity at the local level to enable your resellers to use their co-op dollars effectively. Jump on it!
Change – both on the manufacturer and the reseller side. Manufacturers have historically looked at their co-op programs as expense line-items, not investment, and are hesitant to make broad changes to their programs. On the reseller side, they are not trained marketers and tend to do the same thing year after year. E-initiatives. The national brand has an inherent fear of competing with their resellers online – especially if they offer their own ecommerce options. Complexity.
Local websites are co-branded geographic specific sites that includebrand-approved images and messages, while providing important local informationsuch as location, store hours, products carried, phone numbersLocal websites allow national brand and local affiliates to be “found” at the local search levelThey ensure search engines direct customers to the right place at the right time And they serve as the centralized landing pages for all other local marketing activities
So how do you launch 1000s of local websites? Well. You could add a lot of marketing or web resources or you can train all of your local partners on how to build brand compliant sites. But for most national brands, this approach is cost-prohibitive and impossible to manage. That’s why most national brands will use automation.With automation, it’s possible to launch and update 1,000s of local websites simultaneously.Automation of local websites enables national brands to:Drive top-line growth and market share by ensuring a brand’s products can be found locally and by influencing customer experience closer to the point of purchaseOffer a simple way for resellers to engage in marketing with a national brand.Maintain control of the brand’s image and message further down the sales cycle while driving leads to local resellersTrack and measure ROI at the local reseller level.Local websites provide measurable performance for digital marketing programs, e.g. PPC, email marketing and banner ads.Another thing we found in our recent micro-study is that over 25% of national brands say they are not able to track ROI at the local level. Automation enables consolidated and aggregated local metrics.
The facts around phone call effectiveness are astounding
