What is yousay
yousay is a promotional technique recommended for use in the recent white paper, "In Place of Price" which was published in May 2011. Copies of this paper can be bought from the Institute of Promotional Marketing ( www.ipm.org.uk) for more information.
With traditional promotions, bogof, 3 for 2, 3 for £4 etc, you have a number of critical issues.
- Evaluating the quantity of stock is a difficult issue to get right and can be extremely costly if calculated incorrectly.
- There is a huge cost to the manufacturer to carry out the promotion with the retailers.
- If there is no stock on the shelf, your consumer will be disappointed and this could drive them to purchase a competitors product.
- With these promotions, you learn nothing about your shopper. Critically you do not know if they are new buyers of your product, whether they are loyal shoppers or if they would buy the product again.
Planning Promotions
We work hand in hand with Brands and Agencies to plan your promotional campaign using the yousay technique. We discuss and implement the right promotional campaign for you and give you realistic lead times for each step of the process. Field agencies are briefed on what is expected from them and what information we require from them. We work with your marketing team to ensure branding and design work fits with your company profile and we also help structure the questions you wish to ask your customers.
