As trade promotion is all about the
numbers, how much a business or product developer spends on advertising goes a
long way in determining the actual cost of the product or service. In today's
hyper speed business industry, creating a promotional program that involves
both the product developer and the seller has become a core component of
advertising.
Because of price freezes, a poor economy, or high unemployment, businesses realized they needed a stimulus package that included special low prices, in-store displays, and offers of buy-one-get-one-free. The manufacturers got into the game as well because they had the financial reserves to work with the distributors or retailers.
Bill-backs became a huge part of the trade promotions programs. Unfortunately, retailers often had to wait for an extended period of time before manufacturers honored their agreements. Merchants began to get much more creative in their own promotional ideas, with much of the advertising dollars going into weekly newspapers, short radio blurbs, and outdoor extravaganza sales events.
The Effectiveness Of Promoting Products And Services
Promotion management is the new kid on the block, and this strategy goes hand-in-hand with the modern, online method of marketing. Mutual benefit for both manufacturer and retailer has eroded over the past decade, primarily because neither party has been able to develop a marketing scheme that takes advantage of the social media watering hole.
Basically, managed promotion entails a thorough understanding of the financial abilities of the retailer or distributor, the development of a program that allows the business owner to seriously trust the numbers for dollar allocation to advertising, and the ability for advertising to reach every possible segment of the buying population.
For example, what good does it do to promote product at a trade show if the majority of the visitors have shown little interest in a particular product line in past years? Managing how to spend the dollars is key, but more important is the idea that the manufacturer or supplier does its research as well. In the end, a strategy is developed that incorporates every possible advertising segment.
Trade promotion effectiveness is measured by the favorable return on investment by either the manufacturer or seller. The goal is for a very high percentage - perhaps 70 or 80 percent - of the investment to eventually reach the customer base.
