THE COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE: … WHICH THE CONSUMER IS INCREASINGLY CONTROLLING

Page 7: Dm Brand Relationship (Dm Discovery 5, 2007)

THE COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE: … BY BEING INVITED BY CUSTOMER RATHER THAN INVADING HIM

Traditional

communication

approach:

“Invading” a rather

passive customer with

a maximum GRP’s &

OTS

MaximisingGRP ‘s - OTS

New communication

approach :

Being invited by the

customer- in-control

through a relevant media

mix , message & tone of

voice

Optimisingquality touchpoints

THE COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE: … AND RE-BALANCING MEDIA MIX AND TONE OF VOICE

Massive one-to-all

Communication

Differentiated one-to-one

Communication

Traditional communication

approach:

Breaking through the

advertising clutter with a

higher share of voice to reach

a rather passive customer via

massive “carpet bombing”

New communication

approach :

Being invited by the

customer-in-control

through a relevant media

mix , message & tone of

voice by understanding

my brand relationship

Page 9: Dm Brand Relationship (Dm Discovery 5, 2007)

Consumers are

actively looking

for ways to

control, enrich

and optimize

their lives

It is crucial for

a brand

to prove

it’s relevancy by

becoming part

of the solutions

of this active

consumer

But this consumer

is in control.

So your brand

needs

to be

invited in his/her

life

When invited,

your brand gets a

psychological

meaning

and develops

a unique

relationship

with this

consumer

• This relationship is rooted in the consumer need to add fun to his life. Shopping is about amusement and entertainment.

• The relationship that the consumer has with these stores is non-committal. Loyalty is more of a coincidence and lasts as long as the consumer is stimulated by this relationship.

• The atmosphere that these stores have is often more important than the quality of the product. These stores have a sociable, welcoming and young image. They stand for a hedonistic and humoristic view on shopping.

• DM is able to increase brand loyalty because of its rewarding qualities. It is able to make the customer feel acknowledged, unique.

• DM can be a source of inspiration where information on latest trends can help to make the right choices.

• DM needs to be visual attractive and should be about more than clothes only. It should also be about lifestyle.

• DM must ensure the feeling that I am really connected to the store.

Tone of voice :

Be self-assured but friendly and inviting Can be a personal way of addressing the consumer Use a language so that one feels close to the store Not too much text. Visual elements are important Be stimulating and catching Less technical details, more emotional values Talk about the latest trends in an informative but playful way Include an element of trust or consistency
