We’ll want to pretty this up some, it will sit on the screen for awhile
What’s my background? - 11 years supporting CPG companies in home furnishings, home decor Industry. Prior to that my background in sales management, marketing, export management for textile and home décor company.
Background or who we work with- seeing the changing market from a lot of different perspectives. These transcend both the market makers, the sales agencies, and leading manufacturers in several related industries.
Buzz word. Lots of discussion. What is it
This is from a telecom executive who had the title of Chief Convergence Office on his Biz Card. I like it. We’ll take this context and apply it to key elements of our marketing mix
Each group or department working on their own oblivious to what the other group or department was doing. Even when new elements appeared on the scene in email and web and now Social Media they were often not integrated into full marketing plan.Example: Many times at a show you introduce new product. The department that works on a show may never tell the email department what product they are introducing and so the rest of your customers never hear about the new products.
But that’s not the way that consumers or retailers behave. More and more your customers behave in a channel-agnostic way. They seamlessly move between anonline store, brick-and-mortar stores, Twitter and Facebook pages, print advertisements, and email campaigns. Two or more channels are used by 78% of consumers to browse, research and make purchases. (ATG, March 2010)Three or more channels for a single transaction are used by 30% of consumers. (ATG, March 2010)QUOTE: Ken Cassar - “Skeptical retailers eyeing fluctuations in the financial market and the increasing failure rates of Internet companies are often blind to the most important issue - specifically, the degree to which their online efforts will affect their off-line business. Online consumers are a very powerful audience and tend to be channel-agnostic. And as consumers increase their use of the Internet, the opportunity for the Web to influence their online and off-line shopping behavior grows. Simply put, businesses must integrate across channels.”Online consumers are becoming precision shoppers. For every $1 spent online, $5.77 is influenced in store. (Macy’s CEO, 2009)

Retailers report that one third of online shoppers start out purchasing items from catalogs, according to the 2007 State of Retailing Online published by Shop.org and Forrester Research Inc. Online retailers generated $220 billion in revenues in 2006 and that's projected to grow 18 percent to $259 billion in 2007, said Scott Silverman, executive director of business development and research at Shop.org. “We have seen in our data that there is a direct correlation between catalog mailing and online sales increasing,” he said. “The role of the catalog for retailers has been changing over the last five to 10 years as the e-commerce channel has grown tremendously,” Okamura said. “Once the catalog was really viewed as a sales channel. We believe that it’s much more of a brand vehicle and a traffic driving tool in driving traffic to both the e-commerce business and the store business.”http://news.medill.northwestern.edu/chicago/news.aspx?id=71929

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that 65 percent of the Fortune 100 have either deployed or have pilots running with the iPad already.
One automaker, Mercedes, saw an opportunity to use the iPad in its dealership sales process. The MB Advantage software allows Mercedes dealers to begin recording key customer information while they are standing next to – or seated in – the car they are selling. It also gives salespeople on the dealership floor access to marketing. “The iPad will provide a competitive advantage to our dealers by increasing their service levels through a more flexible financing process,” said Andreas Hinrichs, vice president of marketing for Mercedes-Benz Financial, in a release."Six Smart Business Uses for the iPad". http://www.inc.com/ss/six-smart-business-uses-ipad#5 programs for specific models and increases the speed and efficiency on the return of lease vehicles.
Maintain the personal approach after the call – why do reps work so well? Because it is personalized. Tech enables convergence to happen backwards too- make that personal connection at a show, in a store, on the road, extend beyond the meeting.Go from sales call right back to print or web - in a personalized approach

According to CEIR — which is unable to confirm whether or not the statistic came from any of its research over the past decade or so — even if the data exists, it is likely outdated. Even if it is, in many companies, once leads are handed off to sales, they seem to fall into a black hole, leaving exhibit managers unable to track those leads and, as a result, unable to prove that their programs deliver bottom-line benefits.
