One message on every channel

Customers move between your adverts, website, social media and sales team before they act. When an offer appears in one place and nowhere else, they notice.

There’s nothing worse than advertising a special offer on your website only for clients to check your social media channels and there’s no reference to it.

Sam CrossCommercial Director, Purplex

A campaign plan sets out who needs to act, what they need to believe and the message, evidence and channel that reaches them at each point, so the campaign says the same thing wherever someone meets it.

What has to be ready before the campaign starts

Before the campaign brings in attention, the team needs the product information, availability and response arrangements to handle it. Put those requirements into the schedule alongside creative, approvals and media. A technical claim waiting for approval can hold up several pieces of work; a sales team without the launch information can struggle to answer an interested customer. Assign those dependencies to people and agree when they must be resolved.

  1. Product informationTechnical claims approved, and the literature and specification material ready to send.
  2. AvailabilityStock or delivery capacity confirmed for the interest the campaign is about to create.
  3. The sales responseThe people answering know the offer, the product and the next step to suggest.
  4. Creative, approvals and mediaWork signed off and media booked, with a named owner for anything still outstanding.
  5. LaunchWith a baseline agreed, so the review can show what to repeat, improve or stop.

Crittall’s launch: teaser, reveal and response

Crittall was introducing a new thermally enhanced steel window system. The opening created interest, then the reveal and the response experience gave that interest somewhere to go.

  1. TeaserBuilt anticipation around a development that was worth following.
  2. RevealConnected the creative treatment with technical information, PR, animation and specification material.
  3. ResponseGave interested buyers a way to respond, and captured that interest.
  4. 397new leads from the integrated launch campaign

Who hears first, and what they need to know

A launch can depend on several people making different decisions. A specifier needs to understand an application, a trade partner needs a reason to support the range and the end customer needs a reason to ask for it. Giving all three the same announcement on the same day may leave important questions unanswered. We identify who needs to act and what they need to know, then plan the messages, evidence and channels in an order that makes sense.

The plan can include

  • Campaign brief and proposition
  • Audience and channel plan
  • Production and launch schedule
  • Sales and response readiness
  • Measurement framework

Questions about campaign planning

If your question isn’t here, call 01934 808132 or email [email protected].

Can you plan a campaign our team will deliver?

Yes. We can provide the strategy and production plan, selected specialist support or end-to-end delivery. Responsibilities and approval points should be explicit from the beginning.

How early should we start planning?

While the launch date can still move. Product information, approvals and stock are the usual constraints, so the plan starts with when those will be ready rather than working backwards from a date that’s already been announced.

How will we know if the campaign worked?

We agree baseline measures and who reports on them before anything goes live. The review should tell you what to repeat, improve or stop, not just list everything that was published.
