Why Brand Positioning Matters in Performance Marketing

In the fast-paced world of business, where every dollar counts, it’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of immediate returns. But what some company’s miss when they first start spending on advertising, is the value of brand positioning. It isn’t just slapping a logo on a product and calling it a day. It’s about forging meaningful connections with your audience, carving out your place in the market and laying the foundation for long-term success. It’s an investment in the future of your business for years to come. Let’s explore the importance of brand positioning, the benefits of performance marketing and how they can work together to sustain growth.

So, why does brand positioning matter?

In today’s crowded marketplace, consumers are bombarded with choices at every turn. And even in a sea of options, they’re still more likely to buy from brands they already know and trust. This is why brand positioning and identity is crucial. Without them, consumers will have trouble when they hit the decision making part of the sales funnel. By investing in your brand positioning, you can give your brand a reputation, personality and a set of values that people can relate to.

Look at Paris Baguette, for example. This well known cafe restaurant brand from Korea needed a new positioning to become relevant in a newer market—The United States. After assessing primary consumer research and ethnographic studies, this once unfamiliar brand transformed into “your neighborhood bakery and cafe.” An inviting experience, where the bread is warm, and the welcomes are warmer. From the store designs to the service, marketing materials and media platforms, Paris Baguette’s brand is crafted at every touchpoint to resonate with American consumers. If you’d like to read more about their brand journey, you can find it here.

Whether you’re a new brand just hitting the market or a business looking to re-position yourself, it’s important to know what you’re doing, how you’re doing it and why you’re doing it to tell a clear story and connect with your audience on a deeper level.

What is performance marketing?

While brand positioning is crucial to the long-term success of a business, it doesn’t always generate immediate, measurable results. Performance marketing does. Whether it’s clicks, conversions or sales, this strategy is used to achieve tangible metrics through various digital channels like search engine marketing (SEM), performance max, social media advertising and email marketing. A restaurant, for example, might measure their KPIs in online orders or in-restaurant visits. It’s a very effective strategy that drives business goals, with more than a third of marketers planning to increase their marketing investments in 2024.

When Cinnabon pivoted from an on-site purchase brand to a brand found both on-site and at home, they needed to also pivot their promos and strategy to focus on delivery as a main traffic driver. By utilizing performance marketing using digital media channels, including TikTok, Twitch, YouTube, SEM and more platforms, as well as branded creative assets, Cinnabon was able to successfully drive their delivery business goal. You can read more about their successful campaigns here.

The success of performance marketing truly depends on the foundation of the brand positioning and identity. While data-driven, cost-effective approaches are essential in reaching target audiences and driving desired outcomes, the strength and resonance of the brand ultimately determines the effectiveness of these efforts. If you think your brand needs work or if you’d like to talk about implementing performance marketing strategies, just reach out.

3 Ways Integrated Media Can Increase Retail Visits

In today’s rapidly evolving marketing landscape, a successful campaign requires a strategic and integrated approach to media planning. Integrated media planning involves carefully considering various media platforms to reach your target audience effectively. By crafting a cohesive and consistent brand experience across multiple channels, you can maximize your reach and drive tangible results. This blog post will dive into the power of integrated media planning, debunk the misconception of a digital-only approach and highlight the benefits of digital retail media for growing brands.

According to Hubspot, an integrated media plan revolves around answering critical questions about your target audience and determining which mediums will best reach them. Whether it’s Instagram and Twitter to engage millennials or a combination of radio and Facebook to connect with Gen X, an integrated approach ensures that your ads are consistent and coherent across different channels. The goal is to present a unified campaign to audiences, regardless of where they come across your brand.

While digital marketing holds significant importance, it’s essential to recognize that driving reach in the retail sector necessitates the strategic interplay of various tactics, as emphasized by Blue Onion Media. This means leveraging traditional methods that may have been considered “dead” alongside emerging options. The key is to find the right mix that aligns with your target audience and campaign objectives.

For growing brands, digital retail media presents immense opportunities, particularly in leveraging the online presence of larger retailers, as noted by Tinuiti. By strategically placing targeted ads, brands can tap into the existing visibility of established online marketplaces and connect with highly relevant consumers who are actively seeking products to purchase. Moreover, digital retail media enables brands to capitalize on the exponential growth of e-commerce, access valuable customer and sales data, and enhance visibility through trusted channels.

The statistics from Tinuiti further underscore the significance of retail media networks in the marketing ecosystem. With annual sales growth exceeding 20% and projected to reach $41 billion by 2030, these networks are becoming a major player in the digital ad spending landscape. McKinsey predicts that the combination of retail and traditional media capabilities could generate an estimated $1.3 trillion in enterprise value by 2026. As online retail sales are forecasted to surpass $7 trillion globally by 2025, accounting for over 23% of all retail sales, the effectiveness of retail media ads will continue to drive growth in the e-commerce sector.

In this blog post, we explore three effective ways integrated media can increase retail visits, drive foot traffic and boost sales. By harnessing the power of social media engagement, innovative offline marketing tactics and retail media networks, retailers can create a comprehensive and impactful strategy that stands out in the dynamic retail landscape. In the following sections, we outline each approach in detail and provide actionable insights to help you implement these strategies successfully. Stats from: Tinuiti, eMarketer, McKinsey. 

Social Media Engagement: Generating Buzz and Driving Traffic

In today’s digital age, social media plays a pivotal role in attracting customers to retail stores. By effectively leveraging social media platforms, retailers can generate buzz, increase brand visibility and drive foot traffic. Here are some creative ideas to harness the power of social media for increasing foot traffic:

1. Run social media contests or promotions. Encourage customers to visit your store by organizing contests or promotions exclusively on social media platforms. Offer enticing incentives such as exclusive discounts, freebies, or giveaways for those who visit your store and engage with your brand.

2. Engage with customers through compelling content. Share behind-the-scenes glimpses, sneak peeks of new products, or customer testimonials on your social media channels. This not only creates excitement and anticipation but also gives customers a reason to visit your store to experience these offerings firsthand.

3. Collaborate with local influencers or micro-influencers. Identify influencers or micro-influencers in your target market who have a strong social media presence. Collaborate with them to promote your store and encourage their followers to visit. This can significantly expand your reach and attract a broader audience to your physical location.

4. Create interactive and shareable content. Develop interactive content that encourages users to tag their friends and visit your store together. This could include polls, quizzes, or challenges related to your products or store experience. By making the content shareable, you can amplify its reach and generate organic word-of-mouth referrals.

Innovative Offline Marketing Tactics: Standing Out in a Mall Environment

In a bustling mall environment, it is crucial to think outside the box and implement innovative offline marketing strategies to capture customers’ attention and drive foot traffic. Consider the following tactics to make your store stand out:

1. Organize live events, pop-up shops, or workshops. Host unique and engaging events within the mall premises to attract customers and provide them with memorable experiences. This could include product demonstrations, interactive workshops, or live performances. These events create a buzz and make your store a destination within the mall.

2. Collaborate with complementary retailers in the mall. Forge partnerships with other retailers in the mall that offer complementary products or services. Together, you can create cross-promotions, joint events, or loyalty programs that incentivize customers to visit multiple stores. By offering a cohesive shopping experience, you can increase foot traffic collectively.

3. Utilize eye-catching signage and displays. Capture the attention of passersby with visually appealing signage, window displays, or interactive installations. Use creative lighting, bold colors, or unique visual elements that align with your brand identity. These attention-grabbing displays will entice customers to step into your store.

4. Offer exclusive in-store promotions or limited-time deals. Create a sense of urgency and FOMO (fear of missing out) by offering exclusive promotions or limited-time deals that are only available to mall visitors. Highlight these offers through various channels, including social media and mall directories, to create awareness and drive foot traffic to your store. 

Retail Media Networks: Amplifying Visibility and Targeted Marketing 

Digital retail media has revolutionized how brands connect with customers and increase foot traffic. Retail media networks offer unique advertising and promotional opportunities within established e-commerce platforms or retail websites. Here’s what you need to know about leveraging retail media networks: 

1. Understand retail media. Retail media refers to advertising and promotional opportunities within online marketplaces or retail websites. By utilizing these networks, brands can reach customers who are already in a shopping mindset, increasing the chances of driving conversions and foot traffic to their physical stores.

2. Targeted marketing through retail media. Retail media networks allow brands to leverage customer data to target specific audiences based on their preferences, purchase history and shopping behavior. This targeted approach ensures that your ads reach the right people at the right time, increasing the likelihood of driving foot traffic and conversions.

3. Measuring impact and optimizing campaigns. Retail media networks provide valuable insights into customer engagement, allowing brands to measure the impact of their marketing investments. By tracking key metrics such as sales data, customer behavior, and ROI, brands can optimize their campaigns, refine their targeting strategies, and calculate the effectiveness of their retail media efforts.

4. Improving overall visibility and brand recognition. Placing your products within trusted and popular online marketplaces through retail media networks can significantly improve your brand’s visibility. When customers see your products in reputable online retail environments, they are more likely to trust your brand and be enticed to visit your physical store to make a purchase.

In conclusion, Integrated media strategies that combine social media engagement, innovative offline marketing tactics, and the power of retail media networks are essential for increasing retail visits, driving foot traffic, and boosting sales. By implementing creative ideas, leveraging targeted marketing, and providing unique in-store experiences, retailers can stand out in a crowded marketplace and attract customers to their physical stores.

5 Coffee Shop Marketing Trends for 2024

A morning cup of coffee was once the norm for the average American. But now, the norm is three, maybe even four cups of coffee to get the day started.

As the coffee industry continues to grow in 2023, consumers demand a higher level of convenience and quality when choosing their preferred drink. Coffee shops are now required to provide options that can be whipped up quickly, taste great, and align with consumers’ health and environmental viewpoints.

This highly competitive market demands new marketing tactics that connect with guests to get them through the door. Let’s dive deeper into the coffee shop trends of 2024 to find innovative solutions that will help your shop stand out from the rest.

1. Target Younger Audiences

In 2023, 74% of Americans now drink coffee. This wide audience wants their cup of coffee to be a statement about themselves, and they’re looking for something that’s made sustainably and is healthy.

One way you can connect with this audience is through the sourcing of your ingredients. Find sustainable ingredients from your local farmers and roasters, Fairtrade certified farms, or vendors who work with the UTZ Certified seal. These resources increase the credibility of your coffee to this generation.

2. Explore Artisan Drinks and Speciality Drinks

According to the National Coffee Association’s 2023 National Coffee Data Trends Specialty Coffee Breakout Report, 52% of US consumers aged 18 or above reported drinking specialty coffee in the previous week. The reason they are so popular with coffee drinkers is the care and attention to detail that goes into them. 

Creating artisan and specialty drinks means that you put a high level of importance on quality throughout the entire supply chain. Sourcing ingredients locally will help differentiate your coffee shop in the market and justify consumers paying a premium price for your cups.

3. Use Milk Alternatives

Plant-based alternatives are continuing to grow in popularity. More consumers expect to have these options when they’re ordering. A great way to provide this option to your customers is through non-dairy milk alternatives.

Oat milk is currently the preference of choice for the majority of this audience, but there are other options such as soy, almond, rice, and cashew milk that can serve as great replacements for traditional milk.

Having a variety of milk options can also benefit your specialty drink menu, giving customers a variety of ways to personalize their cups to their liking.

4. Consider a Stretched Coffee Concept

We’ve talked about how you can think outside the box to find ways to set your coffee apart from the crowd, but you can also think outside the cup entirely. Get creative in how you deliver the coffee flavor that so many crave with coffee flavored ice cream, popsicles, or chocolate bars. As of 2023, 48% of Americans enjoy coffee ice cream, 30% drink Irish coffee, 24% enjoy coffee liqueur, 14% like espresso martinis, and 10% enjoy coffee soda. This will give your guests more reasons to visit the store throughout the day, instead of only for their morning cup of joe.

5. Allow Custom Ordering

As of 2023, three out of four Americans use coffee enhancement flavors and sweeteners. The ultimate way of giving your customers a cup that connects with them is through custom ordering. This trend has been on the rise for a while and allows customers to create their own coffee masterpieces.

As a business owner, this strategy can give you great insights into your customers’ preferences. Using POS systems that allow for menu modifications means you can track what toppings and extras are your best sellers. This will help you find what suppliers and roasters your customers prefer and allow you to plan your future strategies accordingly.
