Effective Shopper Marketing: Setting Objectives, Targets, and Changes in Shopper Behavior for Campaign Success (201) (Half Day)

Identifying the Objectives, Targets, and Behavior Changes That Drive Successful Campaigns
Effective Shopper Marketing Mastery Program 201
(Half Day Workshop)

Pre-requisite: ANA Effective Shopper Marketing 101 (or equivalent knowledge)

Workshop Description
Shopper Marketing is more than just tactical approaches to boosting sales by using coupons. It is a powerful marketing communication discipline that drives shopper behaviors for a desired outcome.

In fact, when properly executed, Shopper Marketing is THE discipline that formally allows sales impact activities (even short term) to be aligned with brand strategies for long term brand building purpose.

For Shopper Marketing to deliver its full potential and power, it is critical to have the proper foundations in place by selecting the “right” shopper marketing objectives, for the “right” shopper target, with the “right” expectations for shopper behavior change. Without those foundations properly addressed and formulated, a Shopper Marketing campaign will lose any sense of direction or focus and will end up trying to achieve too many things at once, ending up being everything but a shopper marketing campaign.

In this workshop, you will build upon your first exposure to the 9-step Shopper Marketing Planning Process (Effective Shopper Marketing Workshop 101) by digging deeper into the planning steps dedicated to developing effective shopper Marketing objectives, targets and shopper behavior changes that work. You will learn:

• How to formulate Shopper Marketing objectives that are shopper-focused, relevant to your shopper challenges, and fully aligned with your brand/ marketing objectives & strategies
• How to select the most appropriate Shopper Targets that will help you achieve your Shopper Marketing objectives
• How to identify the key shopper behavior change needed to achieve your Shopper Marketing objectives

This engaging, interactive, practice-driven workshop will be facilitated by Shopper Marketing professionals and educators. In addition, as co-authors on a book on this subject, they have surveyed the Shopper Marketing industry to develop a clear step by step planning process to align Shopper Marketing with Marketing and develop effective Shopper Marketing campaigns.

This is the second installment in the ANA’s six-part series “Effective Shopper Marketing Mastery Program”, where participants learn skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the competitive retail landscape. In this installment, participants build on the skills acquired in Effective Shopper Marketing 101 and now learn how to analyze shopper insights, segment target audiences, and develop powerful marketing strategies that drive engagement and revenue.
