Distribution Make an Impact With Data-Driven Marketing You might be asking yourself ‘How can marketing impact a company that is a distributor?’ On the surface, it’s a fair question. Your company gets products from manufacturers and sells them to end users. Very straightforward and you’ve been doing it for years. But let me ask you a few questions: Do you have established and new competitors in your market? Do you want to grow but are having trouble breaking through? Are you seeing long-time customers have new points of contact? Has a competitor just rebranded and launched a new website? If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, we need to talk ASAP. Distribution is a specialized role in the economic chain that is unique for one major reason – you need to effectively market your service TWO directions. Of course you need to effectively sell to new and existing customers, but you also need to leverage the power of marketing up the supply chain to your principals. The nuances and dual marketing approach distribution companies need is one we have been executing for years. We’ve crafted industry-leading brands, developed strategic marketing plans, implemented holistic marketing execution and driven significant growth in both customers and principals.
