A new era for advertising!
A new age of personalised customer relations!
The guiding ethos of The 1-2-1 Solution, is the personalisation of the relationship between the brand and the customer through customer participation. Shoppers’ Voice, whatever the format or medium, is where your customers willingly become workers for you; devoting some of their time, effort and imagination to your brands.
Not only do your customers want more choice they want to be involved with the products they choose to buy and to be sure that they have made the right choice for the right reasons. The Shoppers’ Voice initiative opens up an ongoing dialogue between you and your customers, building their trust in the brand and delivering loyalty, through ongoing purchase, despite the blandishments of competitors.

Finally, what have others said of the technique in respect of
Cost Effectiveness and ROI.
Professor E.L. Roberto, PhD, Coca-Cola Foundation Professor of International Marketing reviewed the £5 million of independent research conducted on behalf of Shoppers’ Voice and provided this summary:
“The Shoppers’ Voice participating advertisements generated recall scores that are more than 50% more productive than normal advertising. The effect on purchase intention is just as impressive if not much more.
All these productivity increments are attainable at a reasonably inexpensive budget. One Shoppers’ Voice client revealed that for its participating brand, its quarter television expenditure was $5.7 million as compared to its Shoppers’ Voice budget of $0.5 million.
This 1:10 ratio has been mirrored in Shoppers’ Voice events in other countries.”
