Driving new electricity into your brand is hard
work. Leveraging a branded partnership,
no matter the size of you company, can drive top-line sales and bottom-line
profits when you are focusing on the consumer and attributes that your
consumers consider relevant.
Developing interactive participatory consumer focused branded
marketing programs is discipline many food marketers overlook. Looking a customer ahead is an important step
to building long term relationship with consumers.
So, just what kind of partnerships matter
today? According to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®, “Brand
relevance is in part driven with innovation in new food products in combination
with new avenues of distribution all of which are the platform for the new
electricity.”
Johnson stated “that in my minds-eye the new electricity
must be very efficient for the supply and includes such things as fresh
foods, smaller footprint, developing brands, fresh flowers, grocerant
positioning, fresh food messaging, autonomous delivery, cashier-less
retail, plates, glasses, cash-less payments, digital hand-held marketing.
