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

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

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

Virtual Workshop Description
Shopper Marketing is more than just tactical approaches to boosting sales using coupons and the like. 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 on the “right” shopper target and with the “right” expectations for shopper behavior change. Without the right foundations, a campaign can lose direction or focus and end up trying to achieve too many outcomes, or the wrong outcomes, or worse--end 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 (from the Effective Shopper Marketing Workshop 101) by digging deeper into the planning steps to develop Shopper Marketing objectives, Shopper Targets, and Shopper Behavior changes that work.

You will learn:

• How to formulate effective Shopper Marketing objectives that are shopper-focused, completely relevant to your shopper challenges and fully aligned with your marketing objectives & strategies
• How to select the Shopper Targets that will be the most appropriate to focus on to help you achieve your objectives
• How to set the most pertinent Shopper Behavior changes needed to achieve your objectives on the selected Shopper Target.

Shopper Marketing professionals and educators will facilitate this engaging, interactive, practice-driven workshop. In addition, as co-authors of 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.
