1. awareness - secure attention & reach
The challenge:
Consumers see up to 10,000 advertising messages a day. In this flood of impressions, offers have to stand out. The first challenge in the competition for consumers is visibility. This is where channels that create reach and presence score points.
The solution:
- Printed leaflets remain the reach champions. In combination with digital leaflets on high-reach platforms, a cross-media effect is created that increases the advertising impact. Consumers who are addressed online and offline demonstrably remember offers and brands better.
- Out-of-Home (OOH) and digital out-of-home (DOOH) ensure presence in public spaces - on posters or screens in highly frequented areas.
- Advertisements in daily newspapers and advertising journals complete the setup for maximum visibility in everyday life.
2. consideration - arouse interest
The challenge:
Once attention has been gained, the next hurdle follows: consumers must engage more intensively with the offer. Relevance and personalisation are crucial here.
The solution:
- Social ads & programmatic advertising play out messages in a target group-specific and dynamic way. On Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or via display campaigns. This way, the right offers reach the right users at the right moment.
- Moving image formats such as Connected TV or Addressable TV combine the emotional impact of classic TV advertising with precise, data-based targeting.
3. conversion - triggering the purchase
The challenge:
In the decisive buying phase, it is important to remove inhibitions and provide the final impulse to buy.
The solution:
- Print mailings can be particularly effective for luxury goods. Addressed cards or creative mailing formats attract attention in the letterbox and bring personalised offers directly to the customer's home.
- Paired with audio-adverts on the radio or streaming services, retailers can also reach their target group via an approachable and emotional channel. Podcast advertising in particular has become increasingly relevant in recent years.
Retail media activates customers directly at the point of sale and directs the focus to relevant offers.
4. loyalty - retaining customers, deepening relationships
The challenge:
After the purchase is before the purchase. Loyalty is decisive for long-term success in the highly competitive retail sector.
The solution:
- Print mailings also offer significant added value at this point, this time personalised: Birthday greetings, loyalty campaigns or exclusive discounts.
- Supplement digitally Social ads and programmatic retargeting complement these measures by targeting existing customers with relevant offers at the right time. Through intelligent data utilisation, these can be played out accurately and with minimal wastage.
Loyalty programmes reward loyalty and make offers attractive in the long term. Special promotions or coupons increase attractiveness.
