Each year the Key Account and Product Marketing teams of consumer goods companies spend
hours painstakingly reviewing the results of every program with every retail partner to determine
whether they got value for their trade marketing dollars and how next year will be better.
1. We made a great plan. Did we execute that plan in store?
2. Given the plans were executed, were they effective?
To answer these questions with confidence requires accurate field intelligence and visual proof.
Since budgets are set and retailers are paid based on the
in-store execution, compliance and results of these programs,
it’s essential to your bottom line to be able to back up your
trade marketing spend approvals. With accurate field
intelligence, retailer compliance and field team execution can
be confirmed.
Are You Getting Value for Your Trade Marketing Dollars?
3. What was the actual ROI for these programs?
4. What do we change for next year?
These meetings usually boil down to just 4 key questions:
While accurate field data and photos are essential for reporting the results,
the real value of retail execution software with real-time field reporting
comes from being able to impact the outcome of the current activities.
Managers that receive real-time field intelligence can stay abreast of store
conditions, resolve execution issues and drive up store program
compliance. By taking immediate corrective action rather than waiting
until the end of the week, month or promotion period they ensure
maximum return for their marketing dollars.
Survey responses, shelf audits and POS scan data report the results but
don’t (on their own) explain why the result occurred. In-store photo
capture and tagging lets the field team provide this missing data.
From confirmation of store compliance to highlighting the good (or bad)
of the in-store execution, competitor activities or opportunities, high
quality filterable photos can be the difference between guessing and
knowing what made one plan successful and others less so.
Visual Proof
In your next meeting, be confident that you have
the data to support the effectiveness, execution
and ROI of your marketing programs. Showcase
the steps you’ve taken to proactively improve the
results and generate more dollars for the
company and the retailer.
