Brand owners facing "new world order"

Customers have redefined notions of value and are placing different demands on the products they buy, a study has argued.

Non-essential items will bear the brunt of this austerity, with 65% of Americans trimming their outlay on discretionary purchases, down from the 81% doing the same 12 months ago.


Home and family, saving for the future and the environment are now among the major priorities in the lives of many individuals, while luxury has diminished rapidly in significance.

The fact that around 47% of US consumers and 40% of their Japanese peers continue to distrust big business could be a further reflection of this return to basic values.


An interest in eco-friendly goods and services was a characteristic of all the markets covered, but the cost of buying organic food or fair trade clothing has also become more important.


Preferences for private label products have remained consistent across the globe in the past year, over 60% of Americans have more regularly opted for own-label goods in the last 12 months, with Japanese customers on 49% and Europeans on 45%.

As consumers everywhere have discovered that switching offers substantial cost benefits, it is predicted store brands will prevail at the expense of premium alternatives – for the short term at least.

Shoppers' Voice will over come your problems with own labels and lack of trust!

SHOPPERS' VOICE - WITHOUT A DOUBT...

...the biggest challenge to National Brands is Private Label Store Brands, consumers see less difference between the quality of Store Brands and well-regarded name brands, thus there is less incentive to pay the premium that name brands carry.
However when you use Shoppers' Voice your Brands can fight parity by putting relevance first as a means of differentiating themselves!

Understanding Interactive Marketing


Communication.


 


 


Defining Interactive Marketing.


 


 


Interaction can be defined simply as straightforward communication between two parties.    Presently we are in danger of losing the real meaning of interaction, as we tend to focus discussions on the emerging technologies and neglect the communication process itself.   With an understanding of the real meaning of Interactive Communication, existing media can be made interactive, and subsequently far more cost effective.


 


Goodbye to the halcyon days of the TV advertisement of old?


 


A new wave of technology is promising to transform the obsolete analogue technology of television into a two-way medium which allows the viewer to determine what is to be watched, and when.


 


This could well create a situation where the consumers solicit information from the advertiser, rather than the advertiser soliciting the attention of the consumer.


 


Viewers are becoming impatient with television’s linear flow and are increasingly using the limited opportunities available to them to avoid the intentions of advertisers and programme makers.   Even though too many the remote control is a fairly recent development, 44% habitually use it to avoid advertisements.


 


Television is an advertising medium, not a communications medium and, as television declines in the face of competition from the new media, conventional advertising will decline with it.


 


In many ways, ‘advertising’ is an outmoded concept, since media advertising is simply one means of communication with customers.    In an environment in which the balance of power is shifting in favour of the consumer rather than the advertiser, manufacturers and service providers need to look at ways of replacing the monologue of advertising with a dialogue which can utilise a range of different ‘relationship’ marketing techniques.


 


Advertising has to modernise & change.


 


The market place has changed.  Newspapers and television have lost their exclusive hold on the advertiser, the number of print and electronic advertising channels has substantially increased, such as pre-printed booklets pushed through letterboxes, or hung on doorknobs, local cable TV and Direct Mail.


 


Recent events have given advertising a permanently diminished role in the selling of goods and services.  At the same time cynical consumers are wearying of the constant barrage of marketing messages.   They’re becoming less receptive of the blandishments of advertisements, and their loyalties to brands erode as they see more products as commodities distinguished only by price.


Advertising ignores communication theory.


 


As the mass media have matured, the behavioural dynamics of perception and interaction, which were not address by Advertising Agencies in the
70s and 80s, during the explosive growth of advertising have become critical to the redefinition of media and its role in marketing communication.   With passive, one way, forms of advertising such as media displays or television advertising, there is a certainty of a degree of non-response.


 


Lack of communication competence.


 


Most Advertising Agencies lack the skills of communication, advertising messages are more carefully prepared than interpersonal communication and yet ‘message’

ADVERTISING-AS-USUAL IS LONG ON SELF PROMOTION & BACK STABBING!

...and very short on talent and personal responsibility. Advertising-as-usual is so conservative that it lacks entrepreneurial talent & it will only be through new ideas and New Companies that marketing will pull through from their travails. However that does not mean that you should rush onto Social Media - all things in moderation wont hurt you.
THE PROBLEM IS WE ARE IN THIS EVOLUTIONARY PERIOD, NOTHING IS FACTUALLY BASED. IT'S ALL NEW WITH THE SOLE EXCEPTION OF SHOPPERS' VOICE!
