Where to 
manufacture? 
Home vs host 
country
Considering risk and reward 
Home Country Host Country 
• Less upfront cost 
• Less risky 
• Less restrictions 
However… 
• May not make to local 
spec 
• Tariffs & duties to be 
paid 
• Issues in logistics 
• Less logistical issues 
• More tailored to needs 
• Speed to market 
However… 
• Set up 
costs/investment 
• Adhere to local 
regimes/requirements 
• Not easy to pull out
What 
distribution 
strategies 
can you 
use?
2 models to consider… 
Hub and Spoke Point to Point
Tracking & 
packaging 
your 
product
Issues with inventory 
Late 
shipments 
Breakage Theft
Two key areas to solve these issues… 
RFID 
Technology 
Packaging
Pricing 
your 
product
Different Pricing Approaches 
Today we will consider 3 strategies… 
Cost-based 
Pricing 
Value-based 
Pricing 
Psychological 
Pricing
Communication 
Plan
* What is a compelling communication? 
Brand Response 
Salience Differentiation Bond/Loyalty 
Keeps the brand 
from of mind for 
when a need 
occurs e.g. When I 
run out of soap I 
will choose Dove 
Direct Response 
Ensuring the brand 
is differentiated 
from its 
competitors e.g. I 
can identify the 
brand the second I 
see the ad 
Creates relevant 
and loyalty to the 
brand e.g. If I want 
bake beans its got 
to be Heinz 
Motivation Identifies Need Call to Action 
It motivates me to 
take action 
immediately e.g. I 
have been putting 
it off but ill do it 
now 
Jogs your memory 
that its something 
you need or need 
to do e.g. my 
insurance is up for 
renewal 
Clear concise 
message of what 
the consumer 
needs to do e.g. 
call us now on…
Background 
What is the big picture? 
What are the key trends 
in the marketplace? 
Any challenges or 
opportunities in the 
market? 
For example: 
In March 2014 c5 million 
will be coming to renew 
their ISA we believe 
people are looking for an 
account that values their 
loyalty so they do not 
need to keep changing 
each year our product 
does just that. 
Objectives 
Concise statement of the 
effect the ad should have 
one consumers. Consider 
think, feel and do. 
Refer back to the brand & 
direct response 
objectives. 
For example: 
We would like consumers 
to feel like they can trust 
us with their savings for 
the long-term, making 
them feel more secure 
with us and increasing 
sales of our account by 
20% 
* What is in the brief?
Target Audience 
Some up both the 
demographic and 
attitudinal audiences you 
would like to talk to with 
this communication 
For example: 
Young professionals that 
are highly mobile, have a 
high need for security and 
are financially savvy that 
they are continually 
looking for the best rate 
Consumer Insight 
Sum up what is driving 
you to believe that there 
is a gap in the 
consumer/market for your 
offering 
For example: 
Consumers feel let down 
that banks constantly 
offer new customer higher 
rates rather than 
rewarding existing 
customers for their loyalty 
* What is in the brief?
Single most 
important message 
If only one message was 
communicated what 
would it be? 
This is the most 
important thing 
consumers should know 
For example: 
Trust us to look after your 
savings over the long 
term and we will never be 
beaten on rate 
Reasons they will 
believe 
Proof points or features 
that validate the message 
For example: 
We constantly check the 
market and up our rates if 
someone is offering a 
higher rate 
We send you a daily 
statement with market 
rates so you can compare 
* What is in the brief?
Budget & Timing 
How much can we spend 
on media and creative? 
When does the campaign 
go live? 
For example: 
National Campaign 
Budget 
Media - £950,000 
Production- £1,000,000 
1st January 2015 
* What is in the brief? 
Channel 
Considerations 
Indicate what media lines 
would be preferred for 
this campaign using the 
ATL/BTL 
For example: 
ATL: TV, Billboards and 
Web banners 
BTL: Direct mail and 
social
Any questions?
