Marketing Program

Integrated Marketing Communications

Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) is the application of consistent brand messaging

across both traditional and non-traditional marketing channels, using different promotional methods

to reinforce each other. As defined by the American Association of Advertising Agencies,

IMC “... recognizes the value of a comprehensive plan that evaluates the strategic roles of

a variety of communication disciplines including advertising, public relations, personal

selling, and sales promotion and combines them to provide clarity, consistency, and maximum

communication impact.” 1

You have probably heard of the 4Ps: Price, Place, Product and Promotion, but have you heard of

the 4Cs: Customer, Cost, Convenience and Communication? Marketing doesn’t have to be

costly or traditional to be effective. By focusing on the customer journey and their various touch

points first, you can create a comprehensive program with sizable Return On Investment (ROI).

Integrated, relationship-based marketing efforts put the customer at the center of every effort.

Successful campaigns turn customers into loyal advocates, not only of your products, but also of

your brand.

The 4Cs: Customer • Cost1 Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_marketing_communications

Marketing Partnership

As a Dräger Channel Partner, you are

encouraged to engage all 4Cs to achieve

maximum success in your marketing efforts.

In developing an annual marketing plan,

it is critical to start early and to blend

the various elements to maximize the

customer experience.

The 4Cs

Customer – Efforts should be focused showcasing solutions that address your customer’s

needs and desires instead of just products. This allows the customer to quickly see the

value that you are providing to them.

Cost – While you may not always be able to directly affect product costs, marketing

communication should take into account the total cost of ownership, including concepts that

are not always obvious, such as time and effort, and the added value of having a service

partner, delivery services, financing, or other customer resources.

Convenience – The ease of the buying process (researching, selecting and purchasing)

is an important component of the customer’s journey. It is key to find out how and

where the customer prefers to buy and make sure that you are there to engage them.

Reducing customer effort is an effective way to build brand loyalty.

Communication – Behind each purchase is a person, or multiple people – each with their own

personal lives, references, habits and roles. If the way you communicate – through digital

presence, events, advertising and promotion – does not resonate with customers, then your

efforts and dollars are wasted. Rather than talking at your potential customers, it is more

effective to learn how they would like to be communicated with and engage them where

they are already present and communicating.

• Convenience • Communication

As you build your yearly marketing plans, there are a few important factors to keep in mind.

Do the Research

You cannot assume that one size fits all. Just because competitors may use certain marketing

channels, that does not mean it is necessarily the best way to engage your customers and promote

your product line(s). You should find out the needs of existing and potential customers, and then

successfully address them in your marketing efforts. Asking your customers a few simple questions

can help you better identify and deploy stronger marketing tactics. Whether formally or informally, try

asking the following:

What are your biggest challenges?

Where do you normally get your information related to products?

What kind of information would be most useful when you are considering the purchase

of products?

What publications do you read?

What are your favorite blogs and websites for acquiring information about your industry?

Identify Your Resources

Creating an effective marketing plan may require various forms of promotion, including event

sponsorships or ad placements. As you define your overall plan, it is not only important to

incorporate a strong mix of marketing materials or “deliverables”, but you should be able to identify

where the final deliverables will come from. You should be able to answer the following questions:

Do I have access to a graphic designer or some predesigned templates from Dräger?

Do I understand how to display my logo when advertising with Dräger?

Do I know the approval process for using Dräger’s name and images?

Do I know where and what type of advertising will be most effective given the audience

and my current budget?

What is the true ROI if I run a promotional program or provide a full event sponsorship?

What kind of results do I want to see and can I measure the effectiveness of my

marketing efforts?

Have I consulted with my manufacturer contact on key elements to make sure my plan

is consistent, aligned and getting the full benefit of a global partnership?

Define SMART Objectives

When you have SMART objectives, they are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant

and Time Bound.

As you consider your plans for the year, each activity should be directly aimed at helping

you achieve success.

Specific – Does my objective precisely define what I am going to achieve?

Measurable – Do I define what success will be using quantifiable terms?

Achievable – Am I trying to do too much with the resources that I have?

Relevant – Does this objective align with the mission and vision of my business?

Time Bound – Does my objective include a time frame within which I will complete the objective?

SEO is the process of affecting the visibility of a

website or a webpage in a search engine’s

“natural” or un-paid (“organic”) search results.

In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the

search results page), and more frequently a site

appears in the search results list, the more visitors

it will receive from the search engine’s users.1

On-page optimization refers to optimization

measures you perform directly on your website.

Off-page optimization refers to optimization

measures which are not on our websites, and are

chiefly designed to improve our online presence

outside of our domain (i.e. Link building initiatives,

directory profiles/links, social media optimization,

external blog content, etc.).

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers

how search engines work, what people search for,

the actual search terms or keywords typed into

search engines, and which search engines are

preferred by their targeted audience.

If you write good, logical and accurate content for

your website that speaks to the products and areas

of business for which you are focused, you stand

a better chance of having an inherently optimized

website. Do not force/stuff SEO keywords onto

a webpage, but rather incorporate keywords within

your content in a natural way. Ideally, any optimized

webpage would have at least 250 words of content.

You can improve your website’s search results if you invest time in the following:

Keyword Research – This is the basis of SEO.A keyword is a word or phrase (called a keyword

phrase) that is used to help index content on web

pages so search engines such as Google can

better categorize them and deliver those pages

appropriately when people conduct searches.

Competitor Research – What keywords are

competing businesses ranking for? Which of them

get the most search volume? Which of them has

the greatest value? Should you target those

keywords as well? Are they related to your

business as well?

Page Titles – Title tags are part of the meta tags

that appear at the top of your HTML inside the

< head> area. Title tags tell people and search

engines what your page is about and it should

be 60 characters max including spaces.

Page Descriptions – A title and brief overview

shown in search results which describes the

content of a webpage and explains how it relates

to the user’s query. 155 characters including

spaces.

Keyword Tags – The Meta Keywords Tag is part

of the meta tag where you can insert keywords

into your webpage to provide search engines

with information about your page that may not be

visible on the page itself. We recommend the

maximum number of keywords should be is 8 to 10,

putting any keywords that you actually optimized

your page for (SEO) at the beginning of the tag.

Alt Tags – Alt tags are HTML code that essentially

describes an image that appears on a web page

so that the user knows what the image represents

if they are visually impaired or if the picture simply

doesn’t display correctly. Alt tags also provide

a description of images for search engines.

Content – When creating each page for your

website, answer the following questions:

What are we selling?

Why will it make our customer’s life better?

What makes it different from other

products/services?

Is it affordable?

How does it work?

How do they know it’s good?

Who else uses it?

Link Popularity – Link popularity refers to the

number of links pointing to and from related sites.

There are three types of links that will increase the

link popularity of your site:

Internal links.

Inbound/incoming links.

Outbound/outgoing links.

Duplicate Content – Duplicate content is content

that appears on the Internet in more than one place.

When there are multiple pieces of identical content

on the Internet, it is difficult for search engines to

decide which version is more relevant to a given

search query. Avoid duplicate content on your own

website.

URL Strategy – URL structure affects rankings,

click-through and usability.

Images – Use only high resolution images,

on your website, do not embed text, and use

keyword-rich descriptions for all images. Suitable

image formats include jpg, jpeg, png or gif.

Directory Listings – It’s important to have your

business consistently listed on reputable directory

listings on the web. Dräger does not manage

your locations on search engine directories,

so it is up to you to do this.

Social Networking – Social media is one ofthe many factors search engines take into account

when indexing content across the web.

Therefore, it can directly impact your SEO efforts.

Content that you post on your social media

accounts, whether it has links pointing to your

website or not, should be optimized for SEO.

Digital Marketing: Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

SEM is a form of Internet marketing that involves the promotion of websites by increasing their

visibility in search engine results through optimization and advertising. SEM is different from SEO,

or search engine optimization1. Search engine marketing is paid advertising, while search engine

optimization is organic (unpaid).

SEM is also known as pay-per-click (PPC) because you don’t pay unless someone clicks

on your ad.

The major SEM advertisers in the online advertising space right now are Google AdWords,

Bing, and Baidu. Most advertisers typically spend a larger percent of their SEM text ad budget

on Google AdWords vs. the others.

The basic concept behind SEM is finding the most relevant and popular keywords for

your business/products, and bidding on those keywords, using them in your ad copy,

and sending users to a landing page on your website that focuses on those keywords.

SEM Benefits for Small Businesses

Immediate results – SEM advertising is oneof the fastest ways to drive traffic to your website

because as soon as your SEM ads go live, they

can show up on search engine results pages

(SERPs). Costs per click (CPCs) are generally

most cost effective with SEM than other forms of

traditional advertising.

Flexibility and control – SEM allows you to design

and control your online advertising campaign to

meet your business needs. You can bid the amount

that you are willing to pay to stay within your

advertising budget. You can also choose to pay

more for particular keywords at certain times

of the day or week for more targeting and control.

What you pay per click depends on the quality of

your ads, how much you are willing to pay, the

quality of the landing page on your website that

you are sending users to, and other factors.

Remarketing – The more frequently a prospective

customer is exposed to your brand, the more likely

it is that they will become a customer.

With remarketing, a valuable benefit of SEM,

your ads will show to users who have previously

visited your website as they browse the internet.

SEM Ad Copy Best Practices

Highlight what makes you unique and

showcase the products, services, or offers

that make you competitive.

Include prices, promotions and exclusives.

Include a call to action such as purchase,

call today, order, browse, sign up, or get

a quote to make it clear what the next steps

are for the user.

Include at least one of your keywords to show

your ad’s relevance to what people want.

Consider using Dynamic Keyword Insertion for

headlines in your Google AdWords ad copy.

Ensure the ad copy and keywords you are

buying match the content of the landing page

you are sending the ad to.

Appeal to customers on mobile by showing

your location and phone number.

Experiment with your ads by creating three or

four ads for each Google AdWords ad group,

set on even rotation upon launch, and use

different messages for each to see which one

does best.

SEM is also known

as pay-per-click (PPC)

because you don’t pay

unless someone

clicks on your ad.

Digital Marketing: Social Media

Social media is the interaction among people in which they create, share or exchange information,

ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual online communities and networks.

Social media depends on mobile and web-based technologies to create highly interactive platforms

through which individuals and communities share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated

content. Social media introduces substantial and pervasive changes to communication between

organizations, communities, and individuals.

Websites and Presentations

On websites and in presentations using programs

such as PowerPoint and Keynote, the Dräger logo

must appear against a white background and

include the logo offset.

The minimum height of the logo on a website

or in a presentation, excluding the logo offset,

is 30 pixels.

Dräger should never appear in the URL

of external brands in the first position. It

will always be positioned subordinate to

the partner’s brand.

Examples: www.dealer.com/draeger-

x-zone.html www.dealer.com/alcotest

Not:

www.buydraeger.com

www.draegershop.com

Channel Partners shall not create websites

or use website design that closely mimics

Dräger branding.

Banner Advertisements

In advertisements, the Dräger logo must appear

against a white background and include the

logo offset.

The Dräger logo cannot be used in competition

with the partner logo, nor can it exceed the

minimum recommended width of 40 pixels

without the logo offset.

“Dräger” should not appear more prominently

than the partner brand, so that the partner

brand remains recognizable as the advertiser.

If the product name is displayed, “Dräger”

must appear alongside the product name.
