Today
Hoyt & Company believes that a combination of diverse and seemingly unrelated circumstances is about to resuscitate consumer promotion as a major weapon in the differentiation arsenal.
We are here today to tell you why we think this and what you as promotion experts can do to help accelerate and capitalize on this opportunity.
What we will cover is:
The key change drivers relevant to consumer promotion
How the industry has responded to-date to these drivers
The role we think consumer promotion will play over the next five years and what it will take to get on top of the curve and remain in front

It’s getting harder and harder to build brand share in the face of an atomized consumer market that seems to be growing increasingly impervious to traditional marketing.
Because everyone is already familiar with what is meant by “population fragmentation”, let’s skip the statistics and get right to the heart of the issue:
• “Demographic segmentation is no longer a reliable consumption predictor because four different people in the same household may use four different brands of toothpaste and consume as many as 10 different brands of beverages.”
Same thing applies to media fragmentation. It now takes 117 commercials to reach 80% of one’s target consumers versus three in 1965.
Meanwhile, an average of 70% of those who watch TV are typically only half-watching – meaning they have one eye on the tube and the other eye on a monitor or a newspaper at the same time.
Technology has enabled dedicated watchers to skip commercials entirely: Currently 20% of households own TiVo or DVRs and 70% of these routinely fast forward. By 2010, this 20% is expected to grow to 50%.

Even when marketers do finally “get through” – they find a consumer all but “fed up” with the entire proposition. According to Yankelovich:
65% of consumers think they are “constantly bombarded with too much advertising”
59% think that, “Very little, if any, marketing and advertising has any relevance to me.”
61% feel that the quantity of advertising and marketing they are exposed to is “out of control”
60% report that their view of advertising is “much more negative than just a few years ago”
59% of consumers feel misunderstood by marketers
NCHR2.ppt 6
The result of this growing dissatisfaction is that between 1994 and 2003, prime time viewership has plunged from 45MM to 25MM HHs – a 45% drop in only 9 years:
Despite this – amazingly enough – ad spending during these years has actually increased in real dollars from $5 – $7 Billion or 40%.

When combined with a highly fragmented consumer market, this apparent contradiction has prompted leading manufacturers to seek out cost-effective alternatives that enable them to “Touch” the consumer all the way from home to shelf – what the industry now commonly refers to as “Touchpoint Marketing”

Touchpoint Marketing requires a highly personalized, tightly integrated communications and promotion strategy that “touches” the target consumer every step of the way from home to and through the store to the shelf
NCHR2.ppt 9
Why the store? Because in all the flux of population fragmentation and media fragmentation, the one thing every marketer knows for sure is that the one place they can reach 100% of their target shoppers at least 2-3 x’s per month is in the retail store.
NCHR2.ppt 10
Another reason for “the store” is that consumers make approximately 70% of brand decisions and 60% of category decisions after they enter the store:
In other words, despite all of the advertising and other means manufacturers use to build awareness and loyalty, consumers are most heavily influenced by in-store stimuli.

Perhaps, most importantly, Retailers also have a vested interest in anything that will help them differentiate. Take a look at some of their problems:
Outlet Saturation – Too many stores/too few consumers
SKU Proliferation – Too many items create “choice confusion”
Mass Availability of Same items in Different Channels – Virtually every CPG channel now uses fast-moving consumables to build traffic
Category Hijacking – One channel stealing destination items from another
Disintermediation – Competition from consumer direct alternatives like the Internet
Shopper Disloyalty
Price Competition from Value Discounters
There are more… but these are the most frequently mentioned.

Some retailers, in fact, are striving to become household brand names in their own right: The big nationals have adopted brand slogans:
Retailers have also caught on to the fact that being expert merchandisers is no longer enough: The next phase in their development is to become expert marketers.
In line with this, retailers want “Fewer, Bigger, Better” customized promotions or “retail-tainment” events that help reinforce these positions and/or – in the case of supermarkets – clearly off-set them from their competitors, even if only for a short period.
“Expect More. Pay Less.”
“That’s Life. This is Walgreens.”

Whereas formerly, promotions were uniformly structured to help sponsoring brands achieve certain consumer objectives, over the past two years, the state-of-the art has been taken to an entirely new plateau via the introduction of “shopper need states”:
The premise – for those who may not already be familiar with this – is that your brand’s consumer is a different person once she morphs into a shopping mind-set.
The needs that consumers bring to a particular shopping occasion strongly influence not only what channels and retailers they choose but where they go and what they do once inside a store:
• Saturday for a full stock-up at the Supermarket
• Monday for a quick run to the Drug Store to fill a prescription
• Thursday for a fill-in shop at the nearby Convenience Store
The motivations shoppers bring to their decisions are not always the motivations that brand marketing thinks they are when viewed only through a demographic lens.

Awareness and understanding of consumers as shoppers has now become the Gold Standard for CPG marketers:
Brand Marketing Awareness Consumer/Shopper Insights
High – my brand marketers design programs with customer implementation and customer brand strategy firmly in mind
Shopping modes by category well understood across formats – shopper research and insight
a key priority for market research
Medium – brand marketers will talk the importance of
customers, but not consistently act – depends on the
person/relationship between sales & marketing
Medium – real understanding of retailer’s target market, and a
deep understanding of shopping occasions
Low – brand people still view retailers as points of
distribution only
Use consumer data to do overlays between my target consumer and retailer’s to
convince them of brand synergy

Source: IBM Business Consulting Services – The Strategic Agenda for Consumer Products Customer Management, Dec, 2004
Marketing Myopia: Defined as siloed organizations and consequent failure of Marketing Departments to incorporate retail realities into the core brand planning process:
As IBM recently put it in a comprehensive December, 2004 study on silos & Customer Management:
“Many of the firms interviewed as a part of this survey still maintain siloed organizations with little collaboration between Sales and Marketing.”
“These companies cannot continue to do business as usual or else they will find themselves struggling to maintain growth and profitability.”
“Going forward, they must make a concerted effort to elevate Customer Management to a position of equal standing and competence as their traditional focus on products and brands.”
“Companies must continue to push further to complete the evolution to a fully integrated approach to the consumer and the retail customer.”
NCHR2.ppt 28
Hoyt & Company’s Contentions: Siloed brand groups do not have a sufficiently adequate grasp of what
is going on at retail to properly assess priorities or – in some cases – even know what the opportunities are.
Despite population fragmentation, media fragmentation, consolidation and the consequent growing influence of the retailer over the consumer’s decision-making process, some brand marketing departments even still believe that, “Marketing stops at the door of the store.”
As a result, promotion in these companies continues to be relatively parochial – focused on brand consumer objectives versus consumers as shoppers in specific retailers.
The fact that consumer promotion – the one device that offers truly great opportunities to help differentiate in intangible and measurable ways – remains so sublimated in these companies is an unfortunate result of these anachronistic and out-of-touch attitudes.
NCHR2.ppt 29
Happily, the indications are that all this is about to change:
A number of recent surveys confirm that the industry is on the verge of a breakthrough in terms of integrating retail considerations into the total marketing mix and adjusting spending allocations accordingly.
Leading companies like P&G, Unilever, Kimberly and Clorox have already reengineered their organizations to elevate Customer Marketing to the same level of importance and competence that these companies ascribe to Consumer Marketing.
Trade Promotion appears to be declining in effectiveness despite the spending increases over the past 7 years.
NCHR2.ppt 30
Why all this is about to change, cont’d
Even leading retailers are beginning to recognize that dependence on manufacturer’s trade allowances is no longer a sustainable business strategy.
As consolidation continues and the need for non-price differentiation continues to intensify, CPG manufacturers will be forced to fill this need with something more tangible than “insights”, no matter how incisive or electrifying these may be.
Since Trade Promotion clearly has little utility in this equation, it seems inescapable that leading companies will revive the blockbuster consumer promotion as the ideal tool to accomplish this.

The Coup de Grace is that even Supermarkets now recognize that they have to change their business models to forego their dependency on trade promotion:
Recently, we got the following from Steve Burd, CEO of Safeway, when speaking to analysts in September and December, 2004 and then again in February & March of 2005
“Safeway expects vendor allowance income to decline in the next five years as it seeks dead-net pricing from vendors…”
“Our goal is to get down to a net cost so allowances go away and price reductions are reflected in the cost of goods.”
“We believe we can brand the shopping experience like a consumer packaged goods company brands a product…”
“We’re going to connect the dots for consumers and create enough “Aha’s” for them to ask themselves why they should shop anywhere else.”
NCHR2.ppt 35
So what do CPG marketers and their agencies need to do to get on top of this curve and remain in front as these changes accelerate, if they haven’t done so already?
Accept that the marketplace has permanently changed
Ensure that you have the right organization for the new marketplace
Throw out the old delineations of “Advertising, Consumer & Trade” both in your thinking and in your budgeting
Zero-base your allocations rather than perpetuating the status quo
Measure the results so you learn what works for your brands
