Download or read book Experiential Marketing written by Shaz Smilansky and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2009-02-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumers are constantly inundated with repetitive traditional advertising messages, bombarding their lives, interrupting their TV shows and generally getting in the way. The consumer does not feel any real emotional connection with these brands, and if they do buy, it is simply because the brand that shouted the loudest got their attention. This outdated approach to marketing communications is dying, and fast. Brands are realising that to secure the lifetime value of their customers by gaining true customer loyalty, they must give something back. The relationships between brands and their target audiences are being revolutionized. Experiential Marketing looks at the new experiential marketing era, which focuses on giving target audiences a fabulous brand-relevant customer experience that adds value to their lives. Experiential marketing is made up of live brand experiences - two way communications between consumers and brands, which are designed to bring brand personalities to life. This book demonstrates how experiential marketing fits in with the current marketing climate, and how to go about planning, activating and evaluating it for best results. This is essential reading for both advertising and marketing practitioners, and marketing students.

Download or read book Insight Selling written by Mike Schultz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do winners of major sales do differently than the sellers who almost won, but ultimately came in second place? Mike Schultz and John Doerr, bestselling authors and world-renowned sales experts, set out to find the answer. They studied more than 700 business-to-business purchases made by buyers who represented a total of $3.1 billion in annual purchasing power. When they compared the winners to the second-place finishers, they found surprising results. Not only do sales winners sell differently, they sell radically differently, than the second-place finishers. In recent years, buyers have increasingly seen products and services as replaceable. You might think this would mean that the sale goes to the lowest bidder. Not true! A new breed of seller—the insight seller—is winning the sale with strong prices and margins even in the face of increasing competition and commoditization. In Insight Selling, Schultz and Doerr share the surprising results of their research on what sales winners do differently, and outline exactly what you need to do to transform yourself and your team into insight sellers. They introduce a simple three-level model based on what buyers say tip the scales in favor of the winners: Level 1 "Connect." Winners connect the dots between customer needs and company solutions, while also connecting with buyers as people. Level 2 "Convince." Winners convince buyers that they can achieve maximum return, that the risks are acceptable, and that the seller is the best choice among all options. Level 3 "Collaborate." Winners collaborate with buyers by bringing new ideas to the table, delivering new ideas and insights, and working with buyers as a team. They also found that much of the popular and current advice given to sellers can damage sales results. Insight Selling is both a strategic and tactical guide that will separate the good advice from the bad, and teach you how to put the three levels of selling to work to inspire buyers, influence their agendas, and maximize value. If you want to find yourself and your team in the winner's circle more often, this book is a must-read.
