Are you getting authentic store brand visibility reports in real-time?
In today’s scenario to ensure high relative brand visibility and high market share of product sales it is important for any leading brand to have a high share of Instore & outstore brand visibility. Thus it is imperative for brands to track their visibility index & tweak their visibility strategy on real-time basis for market leadership.
The most prominent way to put up your brand higher in the marketplace is to put up visual merchandising services or Point of sales material across the retail stores. Companies allocate a huge sum to promote their products amidst other competitive brands product. But to their dismay, since there was no real time merchandising tracking system to their avail, most of the money goes in vain. The promotional activities don’t happen in time, since the decision making was not immediate; the brands suffer a lot in terms of their sales.
Drushti’s Merchandising Web & App furnishes an easy to operate functionality for all brands, where we can automate your current manual method of survey and reporting of any type of Point of Sales material (POSM) or any visual merchandising put across the retail stores. This is the stepping stone for the brands to digitize their brand visibility which helps them to check trends and maximize their retail sales.
Traditional manual tracking system employed by every leading brand, to fetch the data pertaining to their brand visibility in the stores has some obvious shortcomings:
We cannot be sure that the agent we appointed has actually been to the store. There can be chances of default or sending someone else at his/her place.
No means of real time tracking and execution of the branding strategy.
Even if we are sending our entrusted agent to click the pictures of our product line in the stores, we are still not sure if they have actually clicked the pictures or just got them uploaded through internet.
Your research can get delayed on account of lost data connection or location based problem.
To overcome above issues and make the correct brand reports available on real-time basis, Drushti developed a unique suite of web, android & ios mobile application for the field staff to upload the field reports and a web report module for the brand owners to keep a track on brand’s visibility index on real-time basis in retail stores.
