PROBLEM:
One of the world’s largest polyresin giftware manufacturers had a desire to expand in the U.S. but had no idea how to reach the retail market, especially the larger retailers. They also wanted to expand globally using the Internet.

 

SOLUTION:
We took on the position of Chief E-Commerce Officer and Chief Marketing Officer and developed a plan to expand. The plan included focus groups with potential target market, strategic alliances with distributors selling to independent retailers, partnership with top boxing legends (Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Roberto Duran and Gerry Cooney) and a major media event where we had 300 members of the press in attendance. The boxers joined the program because of our unique product—a handprint mounted on a plaque, showing boxing in a positive light.

 

RESULTS:
We established partnerships with major e-commerce distributors, sales to the top 10 U.S. retailers and acceptance of a startup in the market. Our unique method of developing products, including online design and review saved retailers time and money by avoiding trips to China, while producing excellent results. Focus groups told us how retailers looked at doing business in China, and enabled us to develop a strategic marketing plan based on that knowledge.
