At cutback time, the media with the most tangibles in your clients’ files often wins and escapes the knife! How thick is your client’s file of your tangibles?
- Do they have a presentation on file that clearly outlines what you proposed to do for them and how you would achieve their objectives?
- Have you delivered trade articles about marketing your customers’ categories?
- What about wrap-up reports with testimonials from their customers, a summary of what you delivered, and of course, an outline of how you over-delivered?
- Does your client’s file include all of the scripts you’ve delivered, audio copies of their commercials and proofs of performance?
- Do they see your station-logoed swag every day, or do you make your presentations against a backdrop of your competitor’s swag?
- Do you conduct post-campaign analysis and deliver written summaries of those analyses?
- What about regular helpful tips and branding tools like our SoundADvice, complete with your photo and station logos?
- Have you used your cell phone to forward pictures of their customers lined up at a successful event or remote?
At cutback time, the media with the most tangibles in the advertiser’s files wins! Don’t let the newspaper tear-sheets, or the billboard tent-cards and photos ‘out-tangible’ what you do, and certainly, don’t let an invoice be the only tangible advertisers receive from you!
