32M Booklet

Booklets have gone out to all distributors and current operators who have completed at least one training with our staff.  As new operators emerge - booklets will be distributed accordingly.

 

This is our "Go-To" marketing piece.  

Online Presence

Our online presence is continually growing ... As we add and change and update our online efforts change.  

 

Our current major efforts are toward updating the 32Market.com website(s), HTML Email Campaigns & Content Marketing Strategies.

Social Media

This is the fastest growing area of advertising.

Social Media is however, difficult to master. With our massive advertising industry today - people will naturally block out standard advertising tactics. 

 

To successfully use social media, follower need to feel as if they are a part of your brand - as if you are friends not just sales to customers.

Being Successful @ Social Media

  • Do Post useful information to your customer
  • Do Not Post obvious sales pitches
  • Do Post in-depth "personal" information about your brand
  • Do Post photos and success stories
  • Do Post on a regular schedule

32M a.k.a Patrick (Being in the field at markets makes him the top contributor for this) posts a lot of successful informative social media posts on a regular basis.  

 

We would like to encourage that ALL distributors and even operators begin taking this approach to marketing!

Launching New Markets

A successful launch is imperative to everyone.

For our operators to launch a market successfully, they will need advertise to their potential customers. 

 

The launch marketing packet is designed to "launch" a new store with maximum efficiency and cover all avenues of advertising: WOM, Print, Online.

Is this working for our operators?  Is there a better option?

Operator 1

Operator 1 has a location with little to no marketing or customization through out.  The market is very standard.  This operator also does not take care to update costs, etc. within the system frequently.

 

Brings in approx. $1,000 total per month.

Operator 2

Operator 2 has launched their market with advertising direct to customers and an on-site presence for the first week.  This market is extremely customized and is specifically set up to look its best.  This operator takes their time to update costs, etc. as they change. 

 

Brings in approx. $8,000 total per month.

Success Story

A Midwest Operator

One of our newest operators called to tell us just how much micro markets have helped out their business:  

At a location that previous was doing $300 per month in business with vending, this operator now sees sales of $300 per day using a micro market technology.

This operator has utilized our marketing options available.

Pushing our operators to include advertising and customization in their market/s will lead to overall success.

Would a New Operator Launch Packet work better?

For example: More permanent use items for the new operator to establish as a standard purchase to be utilized at all of their market openings.

 

What are the pro's and con's of creating marketing standards for each and every market that opens?

What avenues are we not currently utilizing?

What is the one thing we need to do as a group, to ensure that our Marketing efforts assist us in opening our goal of 1,000 new markets in 2015?
