MARKETING STRATEGY
VALUE PROPOSITION
Boxed curates a selection of low-cost quality
products in bulk, but without the fees of other
wholesale retailers, saving you money while
you save money.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Boxed does not require a fee to shop, curates
their product offering, offers additional
promotions for customers to use, and offers
free 2-day shipping on orders of $50 or more.
This has the most money-saving potential for
the target market and provides an optimal
shopping experience for millennial families.
SOCIAL MEDIA ZONES FOR BOXED
• SOCIAL COMMUNITY
• Create an ongoing conversation
• Post content about ease of shopping on website
• SOCIAL PUBLISHING
• Create content about product promotion and lifestyle
• Encourage user-generated content
• SOCIAL COMMERCE
• Create ongoing commercial transactions with their audience
EXAMPLE MARKETING STRATEGY TACTICS**
OBJECTIVE
• Increase traffic to the
website
STRATEGY
• Social community and social
publishing posts will include
product links and direct call
to actions to incentivize
clicks. They will use a mix of
organic and promoted
posts.
TACTICAL OBJECTIVES
• Bring awareness to real life
problems the target audience
faces and show products that
will provide real solutions
with links to the site.
• Encourage potential new
clients to visit the website.
• Reengage previous website
visitors who left the site
before making a purchase.
TACTICS
• Display scenarios on Facebook and
Instagram that mother's typically face
like sick children or snack time.
Connect with the ease of ordering the
needed items in those scenarios to
Boxed.
• Offer higher and limited-time
discounts for new buyers across all
social media outlets through paid
social ads. A high discount limits risk
and a time constraint generates
scarcity demand.
• Create retargeting campaigns on
Facebook, Instagram, and the Google
Display Network to highlight recently
viewed products and provide a link to
go directly back to the website.
**All strategies and tactics available in proposal document.

Editor's Notes

  1. B.SWAY Marketing will present a social media marketing plan for Boxed to establish their place in the online wholesale market.
  2. Thank you for joining us for this presentation. We will be going over everything from the current market situation that Boxed is currently experiencing and how they can shape their marketing and experience strategy to meet the needs of the consumer market.
  3. B.SWAY Marketing has outlined all the objective and tactics needed to execute the marketing strategy in the proposal document. Here we show an example of an objective and how it can be broken down into a tangible tactic for the Boxed brand.
  4. The primary social outlets Boxed will target includes blogs, Facebook, and Instagram.  Boxed selected to focus on these three outlets because Facebook is where they have the highest number of followers, Instagram is where they see their highest level of engagement, and blog articles will provide the most opportunity to fully explain the campaign to the target audience.
  5. Sarah will post about the #outsidetheboxed challenge on her blog, Facebook feed, and Instagram feed. She will connect with other local bloggers to help spread the word about the campaign and will participate in a local event.
  6. We are targeting Q1 2019 to coordinate blog and social posts.
  7. B.SWAY Marketing’s plan estimates we would spend $95,487 on their marketing plan.
  8. The plan’s in place, and B.SWAY Marketing is ready to begin executing this social experience.
