MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND OPERATIONS INDUSTRY
The MRO services companies provide products and services that are essential for the smooth
functioning of manufacturing plants and operational facilities. The products are generally
provided by original equipment manufacturers and are classified into product based and service
based facilities.
The MRO industry is highly competitive and is fragmented in nature. The only way for the
companies to differentiate themselves from the competition is to ensure that they provide
services at short notice and the products/services are available at competitive prices.
The market has been seeing consistent growth in the past. The CAGR is supposed to be 5%
which is good enough for the industry. The key drivers for the MRO market are:
1.Demand for reduced production downtime
2.Increase in manufacturing activities
3.Demand for predictive maintenance
4.Technological advancement
Competitors:
1.Sonepar
2.Wolseley
3.Rexel
4.Wurth Group
5.W.W.Grainger

3. There is direct relation between the primary and secondary audience. The primary
audience can pressurise the secondary audience to ensure that the product will be
bought
Perception about Bosch power tools:

Bosch’s most important principle was to make products that would raise the quality of the life
of the consumer.
Thus, the perception towards Bosch is that the quality of the product is extremely high.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
The major issue that we will work on this project is increasing the sales of Bosch power tools
on www.grainger.com by 10% under three different scenarios which are expressed in detail
in the following pages. The mode of increasing the sales is only via digital marketing.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVE, CONSUMER DECISION JOURNEY
AND CONCERNS
Scenario 1:
The customer knows that the product required to solve the solution is available from
www.boschtools.com , but what he/she does not know is the fact that there is a website from
which the tool can be purchased.
Questions related the marketing
objectives of the company alongside their
respective stages in the consumer
decision journey.
Analysis that are available at the
respective stages in consumer decision
journey.
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
9
Thus, this means that Grainger does not even make it through the initial consideration set of
the consumers.
The objective of Grainger linked to this scenario is called “building brand awareness”.
Scenario 2:
The customer knows the product required, he/she also knows that the product required is
available on www.grainger.com and then comes the moment of purchase.
The customer will then start looking at the details of that product and then either make the
purchase or not.
The objective of Grainger linked to this particular stage is called “improving sales process”.
Scenario 3:
The customer initially looks into the power tools category from Bosch, but due to the
availability of a lot of different categories available from Grainger, the customer goes through
the active evaluation stage and starts to wonder if any other product can be used to satisfy the
needs.
The objective of Grainger linked to this particular stage is called “Influence Consideration”.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SCENARIO:
Scenario 1:
The objective of the company related this scenario as stated earlier is “Build awareness”. This
objective best suit the scenario only as the consumer just knows the product that is going to
be required to satisfy the needs. What the consumer does not know is that there is a company
called Grainger, which can be used to purchase the product.
Scenario 2:
The objective of the company related to this scenario as stated earlier is “ Improve sales
process”
This objective suits the scenario only as the consumer has logged into the website off
Grainger after visiting the website of bosch tools. The consumer has also gone straight to the
power tools ection. This means that the consumer is aware of the company and has no other
evaluation to make I terms of the category. The only thing left is to analyse if the consumer
has purchased the product or not.
The consumer might not purchase the product if the sales process is not very swift and easy.
Scenario 3:
The objective of the company related to this scenario as stated earlier is “Influence
consideration”
The objective suits this scenario as the consumer has visited www.grainger.com after visiting
www.boschtools.com and has gone straight to the plumbing category instead of the power
tools category. This means that the consumer is still actively evaluating its options to satisfy
needs.

Biases And Methods Of Eliminating Them:
Before we go in for the biases that may hamper the research, it is important to understand
what kind of research will be used for solving the issue in Grainger’s case.
The following picture will give enough reasons to show why Fundamental research is the
perfect fit for the type of research in Grainger’s case
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
13
As shown in the above pic, fundamental research is suitable in this case as this research will
aim at solving a problem by adding to the field of application of digital marketing and it
researches individual case of Grainger increasing the sales of Bosch powertools by 10%.
Bias according to NCBI is: “systematic error [is] introduced into sampling or testing by
selecting or encouraging one outcome or answer over others” 7
. Bias can occur at any phase
of research, including study design or data collection, as well as in the process of data
analysis and publication
As this particular case is revolving around fundamental research and secondary data, there are
only a few biases that can hamper the entire process. The types of biases are as follows:
Sampling / Selection Bias:
This type of bias majorly takes place only when secondary data is included. Tis bias is
introduced in the selection of the data as the researcher would not have ensured that proper
randomization had been achieved. This would mean that the data selected would not
represent the entire population.
Interpretation Bias:
This type pf bias takes place when the results of an analysis have to be interpreted in a certain
manner. It refers to inapproporiately analysing or interpreting the results of an analysis. The
proper definition for the same is: Interpretive bias or interpretation bias is an information-
processing bias, the tendency to inappropriately analyze ambiguous stimuli, scenarios and
events. One type of interpretive bias is hostile attribution bias, wherein individuals perceive
benign or ambiguous behaviors as hostile.
Methods of avoiding the above mentioned biases:
• Creating a data analysis plan before the survey takes place
• Remaining true to the survey’s purpose
• Having a firm understanding of the topic
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
14
• Clear definition of the required data
• Being specific in the research findings
• Avoid using broad terms during the analysis
DATA ANALYSIS PLAN:
Based on the research, the analysis chosen is descriptive . Grainger currently uses a few KPIs
which give them a rough idea of about how good their digital marketing campaigns are.
By data mining, conversion of data into information, and utilizing KPIs properly, powerful
insights can be developed about any digital marketing campaign.
Grainger uses certain data to measure the following KPIs:
• Click through rate (CTR)
• Cost per acquisition (CPA)
• Return on advertising spends (ROAS)
• Repeat visits
These are some of the most important KPIs that can be used to measure the results of a digital
marketing campaign, but other than that, a few more KPIs can be used to ascertain the
detailed results of a campaign. These KPIs as mentioned earlier are as follows:
• Click to open rate (CTO)
• Unique opens
• Site traffic
• Bounce rate
• Shopping cart abandonment rate
• Conversion rates
BENCHMARK FOR DATA TO BE COLLECTED:
To achieve an increase of 10% on www.grainger.com for bosch power tools, the following
benchmarks have to be set for the following online digital activities:
Display Ads:
The average CTR for display advertisements in USA and Canada respectively are 0.10 and
0.09. Thus, the CTR for the display advertisements from www.grainger.com should either be
the same or above the average CTR in the respective countries.
The average CPA in the e-commerce industry in 46.07$ and this should be the benchmark for
Grainger.
Email (Registrations):
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
15
The benchmark based on the industry average for the e-commerce industry for CTO should
be 16.75% and for bounce rate, it should be lesser than 0.24%
Email (E-purchase):
The conversion rate for the industry in USA is 3.00% and the same or above should be the
benchmark for Grainger.
The average shopping cart abandonment rate is 69.70% and the rate should be lesser than the
average for Grainger.
Social media activity:
The benchmark for social media interactions with the posts according to social media
ambassador would be 11.4
Paid search:
The average click-through rate on AdWords paid search ads is about 2%. Accordingly,
anything over 2% can be considered an above average CTR. Thus, this should be the
company’s average.

CHANNEL STRATEGY
Email And Display Campaigns For The Users In Audience Category 1
Scenario 1:
Display Campaigns: The banner should include company details and should be a flash ad to
gather the attention of the consumers. The advertisement should lead the consumers directly
to www.grainger.com
As it is quite easily visible on www.boschtools.com , there is no space on the left or the right
side of the page, and thus, the banner should be displayed on the bottom. Thus the size of the
banner should be 300*250.
Scenario 2:
Display Campaign: As the customer has logged into his account on www.grainger.com , and
has left the cart without purchasing it, the cookies can be used in order to use display
advertisements on various websites such as google, facebook and youtube
The advertisement can be on the right side of the websites. The size can be 300*600
E-mail Campaign: The customers can also be sent reminders about the offers available and
the quantity available on E-mail. This mail can also be sent to audience 2 for approval.
Scenario 3:
Display Campaign: As the customer has logged into the account and has started visiting
other categories, banner advertisements can be shown to the customer on the other websites
to show them what their needs are and the only solution would be bosch tools.
The advertisement can be on the right side of the websites. The size can be 300*600
E-Mail Campaign: The customer should be sent reminders about the products under the
powertools category , the usage of the product, and the pricing , so that the audience can sent
it to audience 2 for approval.
Email And Display Campaigns For The Users In Audience Category 2
Scenario 1:
Display Campaign: The same display ad which was showed to the audience 1 will be shown
here.
E-Mail Campaign: E-mails to the procurement officers can be sent which state the salient
features of the website and why the company should buy from Grainger.
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
17
Scenario 2:
Display Campaign: a comparative display advertisement can be shown to prove to the
customers how competitively priced the products are. The display ad can also show the quick
delivery process. The banner ads will be put up specially on www.google.com to ensure that
the audience sees it when they are doing research on other sellers.
The advertisement can be on the right side of the websites. The size can be 300*600
E-Mail Campaign: In order to improve the sales experience, an e-mail can be sent to the
customers for registrations and to remind them about the powertools, and majorly their
prices.
Scenario 3:
Display Campaign: Redirecting display advertisement can be put up on google in order to
ensure that the customer goes directly to the power tools website. The display ad would show
the usage of the product.
The advertisement can be on the right side of the websites. The size can be 300*600
E-Mail Campaign: An email can be sent to the audience which would describe the details of
the products along with their uses and pricing to ensure that the audience’s doubts are
cleared. The email would lead the audience straight to the powertools category.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DISPLAY AD:
Scenario 1:
Under this scenario, what the company (Grainger) has to do, is to create brand awareness on
the website of bosch power tools ie www.boschtools.com .The following is a mock-up ad
which shows the type of ad that can be displayed:
Scenario 2:
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
18
For the customers who have logged in, and finalised the products, but have abandoned the
cart, display advertisements can be showed on websites such as facebook.com and
answer.com to ensure that they are reminded about the products viewed and the discounts
available. The following mock-up ad can be considered as an example:
Scenario 3:
For the customers who have logged in but have not visited the power tools category, it is
important that a display advertisement be made to ensure that the customers are reminded
about the usage of the product and what the product can do. This display advertisement can
be used on google and facebook to ensure that the customers are redirected to the website and
specifically, the power tools category. The following mock-up advertisement can be used as
an example:
Recommendations for E-Mail Ad:
Scenario 1:
It is important for grainger to ensure that e-Mails are being sent to the target consumers who
have visited Bosch. The company can ensure that they get registrations by providing
incentives to the consumers. The following is a mock-up email content for the consumers:
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
19
Scenario 2:
The biggest issue faced by the company is in terms of the abandonment rate or the shopping
cart abandonment. The company can either send display advertisements or also send
personalised emails using cookies to remind the consumer that they have an item
unpurchased in their cart. The following is an email ad mock-up:
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
20
Scenario 3:
The major problem is that the consumer visits another category instead of the power tools
category. There can be a link which will redirect the consumer directly to the power tools
category or the webpage of the power tool on grainger.
The following is a mock-up for the email:
Alignment of the email and display ad to Bosch power tools
Currently, Grainger’s emphasis on professionalism has a distinctly different look from that of
its competitors. The one thing that Bosch focuses on mainly is ‘Quality’. Bosch would not
mind pricing extra for ensuring quality as the company believes that maintaining long term
relationship is extremely important. Bosch also believes in creating a community for its users
in order to establish better relationship with them
Grainger is in sync with the same ideology as Bosch does. The value that Bosch provides is
quality in exchange for higher price. Grainger charges competitive prices for value added
services such as immediate deliver, emergency delivery, auto re-order etc. Grainger also
gives the consumers the opportunity to compare products from different brands in order to get
a better idea for purchase.
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
21
Thus, Grainger is aligned with the brand image of Bosch tools and thus it compliments them.
TEST AND CONTROL PLAN:
Using the above figure, the objectives should be derived.
It is important to constantly test and make adjustments to this plan to counter outside
influences. There are many techniques that Grainger could implement to test and control its
Digital Marketing plan meeting its business objectives. Three specific techniques will be
examined: Surveys, Focus Groups, & Online Monitoring. These Test and Control techniques
will be planned for Grainger to meet the following business objectives: Brand Awareness,
Influencing Consideration, & Improving Sales Process.
Business Objective Test/Control Method Type of Research
Influence Consideration Focus Group Secondary/Qualitative
Brand Awareness Survey Primary/Qualitative
Improving Sales Process Online Monitoring Secondary/Quantitative
CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch
22
Surveys:
Surveys should be created by www.grainger.com in order to gather primary data which
would ensure that the company would find out about the consumer behaviour. As there is an
increase in the number of customers who are available on social networking websites, online
social network surveys will be beneficial for the company. Surveys would help Grainger
better understand the consumers, and thus perform better in the market.
Surveys will give Grainger the content about brand awareness. Questions such as Do you
know Grainger? Do you purchase online? Why do you purchase from Grainger? Which
company do you prefer? What are the attributed influencing purchase? Can give some
qualitative data. This Qualitative data will not only inform Grainger the way it is perceived,
but what it needs to improve as well.
This type of survey will help the company better understand the consumers, their decision
making process and what the relationship with the competitor is.
Focus Group:
Focus Groups are recommended for Grainger to use when trying to Influence Consideration
of its products. This Primary data can provide marketing managers, product managers, and
market researchers with a great deal of helpful information, to entice people to choose
Grainger as their supplier of BOSCH Power Tools. focus groups have a distinct advantage
over some other types of market research: they are flexible by design, capitalize on decision-
makers ability to talk to their customers and their knowledge of their brand, product, or
services. This Test and Control Technique will be useful to gather information on customers
that access Grainger.com directly as well as customers that access BOSCH.com first. By
going ahead with focus groups, the company will be able to directly take inputs from the
customers and have the desired output in having positive influence on consideration of the
company for buying Bosch power tools.
Online Monitoring:
For improving the sales process, online monitoring is one of the best testing and controlling
tools available. Online Monitoring is investigating one’s digital/internet presence. The
Quantitative Data of Bounce Rates of the two websites will assist management at Grainger
assume a correlation between a failed link between customers searching for BOSCH Power
Tools on BOSCH’s website and those customers being redirected to Grainger’s plumbing
home page when accessed. Online monitoring can also be used to find out the stage at which
the customer has left shopping or abandoned his/her shopping cart. This would help the
company also find out why the shopping cart has been abandoned. This kind of primary
research will provide enough data to ensure that the sales process can be improved in the
future.

  • 9. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 8 PROBLEM STATEMENT The major issue that we will work on this project is increasing the sales of Bosch power tools on www.grainger.com by 10% under three different scenarios which are expressed in detail in the following pages. The mode of increasing the sales is only via digital marketing. BUSINESS OBJECTIVE, CONSUMER DECISION JOURNEY AND CONCERNS Scenario 1: The customer knows that the product required to solve the solution is available from www.boschtools.com , but what he/she does not know is the fact that there is a website from which the tool can be purchased. Questions related the marketing objectives of the company alongside their respective stages in the consumer decision journey. Analysis that are available at the respective stages in consumer decision journey.
  • 10. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 9 Thus, this means that Grainger does not even make it through the initial consideration set of the consumers. The objective of Grainger linked to this scenario is called “building brand awareness”. Scenario 2: The customer knows the product required, he/she also knows that the product required is available on www.grainger.com and then comes the moment of purchase. The customer will then start looking at the details of that product and then either make the purchase or not. The objective of Grainger linked to this particular stage is called “improving sales process”. Scenario 3: The customer initially looks into the power tools category from Bosch, but due to the availability of a lot of different categories available from Grainger, the customer goes through the active evaluation stage and starts to wonder if any other product can be used to satisfy the needs. The objective of Grainger linked to this particular stage is called “Influence Consideration”. SCENARIO CDJ CONCERN ANALYSIS 1 Initial consideration set Information about the product Which websites are available to purchase the product Competitive intelligence using: 1.Google Trends 2.Google Correlate 2 Moment of purchase What are the specifications offered by different brands Prices of the products offered under different brands Outcome analysis using: 1.Mongoosmetrics 2.Live person 3.Customer search history 3 Active Evaluation Is this the only product available to fix my problem Experimentation/testing using: 1. Adwords campaign tester 2.google website optimizer
  • 11. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 10 BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SCENARIO: Scenario 1: The objective of the company related this scenario as stated earlier is “Build awareness”. This objective best suit the scenario only as the consumer just knows the product that is going to be required to satisfy the needs. What the consumer does not know is that there is a company called Grainger, which can be used to purchase the product. Scenario 2: The objective of the company related to this scenario as stated earlier is “ Improve sales process” This objective suits the scenario only as the consumer has logged into the website off Grainger after visiting the website of bosch tools. The consumer has also gone straight to the power tools ection. This means that the consumer is aware of the company and has no other evaluation to make I terms of the category. The only thing left is to analyse if the consumer has purchased the product or not. The consumer might not purchase the product if the sales process is not very swift and easy. Scenario 3: The objective of the company related to this scenario as stated earlier is “Influence consideration” The objective suits this scenario as the consumer has visited www.grainger.com after visiting www.boschtools.com and has gone straight to the plumbing category instead of the power tools category. This means that the consumer is still actively evaluating its options to satisfy needs.

The following picture will give enough reasons to show why Fundamental research is the perfect fit for the type of research in Grainger’s case
  • 14. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 13 As shown in the above pic, fundamental research is suitable in this case as this research will aim at solving a problem by adding to the field of application of digital marketing and it researches individual case of Grainger increasing the sales of Bosch powertools by 10%. Bias according to NCBI is: “systematic error [is] introduced into sampling or testing by selecting or encouraging one outcome or answer over others” 7 . Bias can occur at any phase of research, including study design or data collection, as well as in the process of data analysis and publication As this particular case is revolving around fundamental research and secondary data, there are only a few biases that can hamper the entire process. The types of biases are as follows: Sampling / Selection Bias: This type of bias majorly takes place only when secondary data is included. Tis bias is introduced in the selection of the data as the researcher would not have ensured that proper randomization had been achieved. This would mean that the data selected would not represent the entire population. Interpretation Bias: This type pf bias takes place when the results of an analysis have to be interpreted in a certain manner. It refers to inapproporiately analysing or interpreting the results of an analysis. The proper definition for the same is: Interpretive bias or interpretation bias is an information- processing bias, the tendency to inappropriately analyze ambiguous stimuli, scenarios and events. One type of interpretive bias is hostile attribution bias, wherein individuals perceive benign or ambiguous behaviors as hostile. Methods of avoiding the above mentioned biases: • Creating a data analysis plan before the survey takes place • Remaining true to the survey’s purpose • Having a firm understanding of the topic
  • 15. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 14 • Clear definition of the required data • Being specific in the research findings • Avoid using broad terms during the analysis DATA ANALYSIS PLAN: Based on the research, the analysis chosen is descriptive . Grainger currently uses a few KPIs which give them a rough idea of about how good their digital marketing campaigns are. By data mining, conversion of data into information, and utilizing KPIs properly, powerful insights can be developed about any digital marketing campaign. Grainger uses certain data to measure the following KPIs: • Click through rate (CTR) • Cost per acquisition (CPA) • Return on advertising spends (ROAS) • Repeat visits These are some of the most important KPIs that can be used to measure the results of a digital marketing campaign, but other than that, a few more KPIs can be used to ascertain the detailed results of a campaign. These KPIs as mentioned earlier are as follows: • Click to open rate (CTO) • Unique opens • Site traffic • Bounce rate • Shopping cart abandonment rate • Conversion rates BENCHMARK FOR DATA TO BE COLLECTED: To achieve an increase of 10% on www.grainger.com for bosch power tools, the following benchmarks have to be set for the following online digital activities: Display Ads: The average CTR for display advertisements in USA and Canada respectively are 0.10 and 0.09. Thus, the CTR for the display advertisements from www.grainger.com should either be the same or above the average CTR in the respective countries. The average CPA in the e-commerce industry in 46.07$ and this should be the benchmark for Grainger. Email (Registrations):
  • 16. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 15 The benchmark based on the industry average for the e-commerce industry for CTO should be 16.75% and for bounce rate, it should be lesser than 0.24% Email (E-purchase): The conversion rate for the industry in USA is 3.00% and the same or above should be the benchmark for Grainger. The average shopping cart abandonment rate is 69.70% and the rate should be lesser than the average for Grainger. Social media activity: The benchmark for social media interactions with the posts according to social media ambassador would be 11.4 Paid search: The average click-through rate on AdWords paid search ads is about 2%. Accordingly, anything over 2% can be considered an above average CTR. Thus, this should be the company’s average.

  • 17. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 16 CHANNEL STRATEGY Email And Display Campaigns For The Users In Audience Category 1 Scenario 1: Display Campaigns: The banner should include company details and should be a flash ad to gather the attention of the consumers. The advertisement should lead the consumers directly to www.grainger.com As it is quite easily visible on www.boschtools.com , there is no space on the left or the right side of the page, and thus, the banner should be displayed on the bottom. Thus the size of the banner should be 300*250. Scenario 2: Display Campaign: As the customer has logged into his account on www.grainger.com , and has left the cart without purchasing it, the cookies can be used in order to use display advertisements on various websites such as google, facebook and youtube The advertisement can be on the right side of the websites.

This mail can also be sent to audience 2 for approval. Scenario 3: Display Campaign: As the customer has logged into the account and has started visiting other categories, banner advertisements can be shown to the customer on the other websites to show them what their needs are and the only solution would be bosch tools. The advertisement can be on the right side of the websites. The size can be 300*600 E-Mail Campaign: The customer should be sent reminders about the products under the powertools category , the usage of the product, and the pricing , so that the audience can sent it to audience 2 for approval.

  • 18. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 17 Scenario 2: Display Campaign: a comparative display advertisement can be shown to prove to the customers how competitively priced the products are. The display ad can also show the quick delivery process. The banner ads will be put up specially on www.google.com to ensure that the audience sees it when they are doing research on other sellers. The advertisement can be on the right side of the websites. The size can be 300*600 E-Mail Campaign: In order to improve the sales experience, an e-mail can be sent to the customers for registrations and to remind them about the powertools, and majorly their prices.

The display ad would show the usage of the product. The advertisement can be on the right side of the websites. The size can be 300*600 E-Mail Campaign: An email can be sent to the audience which would describe the details of the products along with their uses and pricing to ensure that the audience’s doubts are cleared. The email would lead the audience straight to the powertools category. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DISPLAY AD: Scenario 1: Under this scenario, what the company (Grainger) has to do, is to create brand awareness on the website of bosch power tools ie www.boschtools.com .The following is a mock-up ad which shows the type of ad that can be displayed: Scenario 2:
  • 19. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 18 For the customers who have logged in, and finalised the products, but have abandoned the cart, display advertisements can be showed on websites such as facebook.com and answer.com to ensure that they are reminded about the products viewed and the discounts available. The following mock-up ad can be considered as an example: Scenario 3: For the customers who have logged in but have not visited the power tools category, it is important that a display advertisement be made to ensure that the customers are reminded about the usage of the product and what the product can do. This display advertisement can be used on google and facebook to ensure that the customers are redirected to the website and specifically, the power tools category. The following mock-up advertisement can be used as an example: Recommendations for E-Mail Ad: Scenario 1: It is important for grainger to ensure that e-Mails are being sent to the target consumers who have visited Bosch.

  • 20. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 19 Scenario 2: The biggest issue faced by the company is in terms of the abandonment rate or the shopping cart abandonment. The company can either send display advertisements or also send personalised emails using cookies to remind the consumer that they have an item unpurchased in their cart. The following is an email ad mock-up:
  • 21. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 20 Scenario 3: The major problem is that the consumer visits another category instead of the power tools category. There can be a link which will redirect the consumer directly to the power tools category or the webpage of the power tool on grainger. The following is a mock-up for the email: Alignment of the email and display ad to Bosch power tools Currently, Grainger’s emphasis on professionalism has a distinctly different look from that of its competitors. The one thing that Bosch focuses on mainly is ‘Quality’. Bosch would not mind pricing extra for ensuring quality as the company believes that maintaining long term relationship is extremely important. Bosch also believes in creating a community for its users in order to establish better relationship with them Grainger is in sync with the same ideology as Bosch does. The value that Bosch provides is quality in exchange for higher price. Grainger charges competitive prices for value added services such as immediate deliver, emergency delivery, auto re-order etc. Grainger also gives the consumers the opportunity to compare products from different brands in order to get a better idea for purchase.
  • 22. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 21 Thus, Grainger is aligned with the brand image of Bosch tools and thus it compliments them. TEST AND CONTROL PLAN: Using the above figure, the objectives should be derived. It is important to constantly test and make adjustments to this plan to counter outside influences. There are many techniques that Grainger could implement to test and control its Digital Marketing plan meeting its business objectives. Three specific techniques will be examined: Surveys, Focus Groups, & Online Monitoring. These Test and Control techniques will be planned for Grainger to meet the following business objectives: Brand Awareness, Influencing Consideration, & Improving Sales Process. Business Objective Test/Control Method Type of Research Influence Consideration Focus Group Secondary/Qualitative Brand Awareness Survey Primary/Qualitative Improving Sales Process Online Monitoring Secondary/Quantitative
  • 23. CAPSTONE PROJECT-Grainger and Bosch 22 Surveys: Surveys should be created by www.grainger.com in order to gather primary data which would ensure that the company would find out about the consumer behaviour. As there is an increase in the number of customers who are available on social networking websites, online social network surveys will be beneficial for the company. Surveys would help Grainger better understand the consumers, and thus perform better in the market. Surveys will give Grainger the content about brand awareness. Questions such as Do you know Grainger? Do you purchase online? Why do you purchase from Grainger? Which company do you prefer? What are the attributed influencing purchase? Can give some qualitative data. This Qualitative data will not only inform Grainger the way it is perceived, but what it needs to improve as well. This type of survey will help the company better understand the consumers, their decision making process and what the relationship with the competitor is. Focus Group: Focus Groups are recommended for Grainger to use when trying to Influence Consideration of its products. This Primary data can provide marketing managers, product managers, and market researchers with a great deal of helpful information, to entice people to choose Grainger as their supplier of BOSCH Power Tools. focus groups have a distinct advantage over some other types of market research: they are flexible by design, capitalize on decision- makers ability to talk to their customers and their knowledge of their brand, product, or services. This Test and Control Technique will be useful to gather information on customers that access Grainger.com directly as well as customers that access BOSCH.com first. By going ahead with focus groups, the company will be able to directly take inputs from the customers and have the desired output in having positive influence on consideration of the company for buying Bosch power tools. Online Monitoring: For improving the sales process, online monitoring is one of the best testing and controlling tools available. Online Monitoring is investigating one’s digital/internet presence. The Quantitative Data of Bounce Rates of the two websites will assist management at Grainger assume a correlation between a failed link between customers searching for BOSCH Power Tools on BOSCH’s website and those customers being redirected to Grainger’s plumbing home page when accessed. Online monitoring can also be used to find out the stage at which the customer has left shopping or abandoned his/her shopping cart. This would help the company also find out why the shopping cart has been abandoned. This kind of primary research will provide enough data to ensure that the sales process can be improved in the future.
