N-Vision™ Marketing Plan
Get the best laid plan in the history of your company
Using our licensed N-Vision™ system of strategic planning we analyse how you deliver value to your customers in the context of the marketplace and your competitors. We'll creatively express your company's USP (unique selling proposition) or sustainable competitive advantage into a few sentences.
What will you be famous for? What are you best positioned to deliver over and above your competitors and will that be enough of an edge to drive sales your way? The positioning analysis groundwork enables us to create perhaps 30 appropriate slogan options that capture the essence of your company's advantage. A great slogan will be up to 5 words long, simple, and strong, evoke positive connotations and suggest a visual association. Our slogan recommendations will sum up 'Why deal with You' in a memorable and distinctive way. These phrases may then be used as headlines for any advertising or direct mail program and a selected slogan may be used with the logo at all times for maximum impact.
We will:
Consider the product names and slogan most appropriate for your various markets.
We'll conduct the market research necessary to gain valuable information about your competitors, and your market.
Identify the specific propositions and messages made to each client group and how best to repackage this information for maximum effect.
We will then test these ideas, offers and the promotional ideas developed in some focus group settings to ensure the plans will be met with the anticipated response. This will flush out attitudes that are driving the market... so as to better determine a successful marketing campaign.
Create value added ideas to grow your business and a schedule of promotions for the coming year.
Our findings will take the form of a 30-page report outlining our recommendations and specific action steps. It will include concepts for ongoing promotions and ways to dramatically improve the profit potential of your business. This image strategy will contain:
