Seasonal Marketing Success Depends On Vendor Relationships

March 22, 2023

SUMMARY:

With summer quickly approaching, many companies are preparing for the increased shopping, dining, traveling, and hospitality related activities that come along with the season. Marketing activities focused on the summer vacation season must be designed, printed, distributed, and used within a certain timeframe, and any delays can render them ineffective as they fail to reach potential customers in time. Working with a reliable, experienced fulfillment vendor like Spectra is the best way to guarantee that marketing materials reach end users in time to be used as effectively as possible for seasonal campaigns.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

One of the major topics in marketing following the COVID-19 pandemic has been unpredictable supply chains. Materials of nearly all types still face delays in manufacturing and shipping, as corporations work to recover from labor shortages, factory shutdowns, shifts in the supplier landscape, and other challenges caused by the global disruptions of the pandemic. For several years now businesses that distribute seasonal marketing materials to franchisees, local branches, and retail partners have been particularly hard-hit by these unpredictabilities, finding it difficult to get those materials produced and distributed in time for end users to present those campaigns to potential customers.

While ordering materials well ahead of time is an obvious strategy for solving these challenges, another important factor is the relationship that a national brand has with their third party fulfillment partner. A company dedicated to the fulfillment process is well positioned to monitor supply issues, solve problems as they arise, and ultimately give its clients the best possible chance of getting their marketing materials produced and in the hands of their end users in time for successful seasonal campaigns.

Within the retail field, Spectra has the ability to set up an online storefront through which national clients can offer customized sets of materials to their end users. Spectra handles the inventory management, restocking, kitting, and distribution of these materials, removing these complex burdens from the client and creating opportunities for growth.
