Marketing Promotions Proposal for a Web-store to distribute Marketing Promotions
Concept Create an online store with Kaiser branded products • For use by all Kaiser organizations • Sales & Marketing • Foothill Ranch & mills • To distribute marketing promotions • Customers • Employees
Benefit • Coordinate the Kaiser image & brand • Currently each plant and sales group buys whatever they want. There is no consistency • All promotions must have the same look & feel as our ads, brochures & packaging to be effective • Control costs • There are significant economies of scale so pooling purchases reduces the unit and total cost • Current expenditures for promotions aren’t tracked • Kaiser spent over $30k in 2009 with just one vendor • Total expenditures could be 2-3 times this especially if plant purchases for branded safety gear are included.
Benefit • Promote the Kaiser brand cost effectively • The SalesOutlook customer database shows we need to influence very few people • 1,000 Accounts total / 100 key • 3,000 Contacts total / 500 high-value • Promotions enable us to coddle our small customer base • Kaiser branded product can be targeted to specific industries and to specific job types to achieve specific objectives • Promotions are relatively cheap compared to display advertising which costs many times more per customer impression.
Benefit • Improve availability • Salespeople and employees currently have no access to promotions. The Web-store fixes this • Kaiser branded merchandise is ordered for events but is not available on short notice in small quantities • The lead-time to make merchandise prevents distribution except when we plan way ahead • The web-store makes Kaiser product available to all employees not just a select few
Users • Sales people • Kaiser Branded office gifts for customers • Kaiser “Select” promotions for Select MAPS training • Swag for golf outings & tournaments • Sales management • Meeting gifts emphasize importance and show appreciation • High-end gifts for executives visited infrequently create a memory
Users • Plant management • All Safety equipment can be branded and easily distributed • Plants buy promotions now so the e-store just lowers the cost of what we’re already doing • Corporate leaders • Meeting with investors and directors require mementos • Customers • The web-store will take credit cards so customers and the public can access branded merchandise
Promotions Work • Customers • Kaiser branded products increase name recognition • Gifts generate good-will & get meetings off to a positive start • Office Gifts equate to display advertising • A mouse Pad is like an 8” x 10” billboard • A Kaiser pen used by a customer at a meeting promotes name recognition and signifies approval to everyone in attendance • Gifts taken home or used on the golf course create an emotional connection to our brand • Promotions can link products and messages
Promotions Work • Employees • Workers who feel appreciated work harder. Giving Kaiser branded products shows appreciation and improves moral • Wearing Kaiser apparel and using Kaiser branded products increases employees emotional connection to the company • Meeting gifts signify importance & can emphasize the meeting goals
