Objective:
To increase name awareness as a national/international trucking
firm.
Strategy and Execution:
This seven-month mailing promotion identified problems and offered a
specialty solution for 2,500 business accounts who are currently
using competing trucking services.
The first month, there was a toy
horn in a box with the copy, "In the next six months we are going to
be making a lot of noise."
The second month featured a folder
reading, "transpotation problems are closing in on you...let ATS
open them up" and included a letter opener.
Each of the following months used
common copy. "If transportation problems..." and a corresponding
specialty item with name imprinted. For problems that "have you
biting your nails," the mailer included a finger nail file. Problems
that "have you in a sweat" provided an encapsulated truck-shaped
spongue and the invitation "Let ATS dry them up." Problems which
give headaches needed a packet of asprin, and problems which "have
you all fogged up" allowed the company to "clear their view" with a
lens cleaning towlette.
In the last month, "Now that you
know the solution to your transportation problems...give ATS a call,
we'll stick to our word," featured a magnet bearing the advertisor's
800-telephone-number.
Results:
It was reported that the promotion generated 53 customer responses
for additional trucking loads which resulted in increased revenue of
approximately $1 million

Tradeshow
exhibitors often miss important leads at trade shows because they
have no lead development strategy. In addition, according to the
CEIR (Center for Exhibition Industry Research), as much as 80% of
trade show leads never receive any form of follow-up.
One reason is that following up
with unqualified leads from trade shows is tedious. This produces
disappointment, frustration and inertia as you pursue the mind-
numbing work of trying (and failing) to get new business from your
bag full of tradeshow booth visitors’ business cards.
There is a better way. The key is
to identify and classify hot prospects and the products and services
they are interested in buying. There are new, sophisticated software
packages that allow you to identify a half dozen weighted multiple
choice questions in advance that will determine how viable a client
prospect is. You need to identify the hot leads, filter out those
who are not qualified, and then measure your results. You will be
able to target qualified sales leads that have the budget, time
frame and ability to purchase your product. Your screening strategy
not only helps you zero in on qualified leads but also helps you
establish stronger relationships with your best clients.
Rank your prospects as “A” (highly
qualified), “ B” (somewhat qualified), or “C” (poorly qualified)
prospect. When a prospect arrives at your trade show display, your
sales staff will be ready to kickstart the sales process by using
the software package to help identify qualified leads.
Have your sales force follow up on
“A” leads immediately the day after the trade show to maximize your
profit opportunity from the trade show. By earmarking the key
prospects, your sales staff should be energized by their success in
selling the right products to the right client at the right time.
Don’t neglect the “B” prospects from your trade show, but follow up
with them only after you have mined the hot lead lode.
Measure Your ROI
You will be able to measure your
trade show return on investment and justify your trade show exhibit
expense if you carefully track your qualified leads. Measure the
results of these qualified leads in every stage from the number and
dollar amount of proposals made to monies received from actual
sales. Your head of marketing can better justify the tradeshow
expense to the company CEO when showing solid business- producing
results.
