Smart marketers today are using the strength of marketing alliances to get product into new channels and generate incremental sales. As corporate and brand budgets are scrutinized, partnership programs are an efficient way to create joint sales and distribution opportunities, broader in-store merchandising, more compelling point-of-sales (POS) displays, and overall stronger value for the consumer.

This seminar will show you how to connect your brand to another brand to gain new customers. Examples where a car manufacturer teamed with a theme park to captivate the family segment, ketchup was paired with home video, and toys were aligned with food, will demonstrate how to extend your reach and tap into a new customer base.

  • How to develop your brand’s asset list
  • The key questions you must answer to identify suitable partners
  • How to use strategic alliances to expand distribution
  • How to create cross functional marketing teams to execute partnership programs
  • How to create overlays to maximize budgets
  • How to use multiple brands to create a more powerful marketing program
  • A step-by-step process to implement a successful program
