Choose the right perspective
Match the person's format to yours, since marketing a regional supermarket chain differs from marketing an online grocery or delivery service. Ask how each person's remit was set, for example whether it covered merchandising, loyalty or ecommerce, and pick the one whose scope fits the decision you face.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you split marketing spend between weekly promotions, loyalty programs and brand campaigns?
- 02How do you use loyalty and shopper data to decide which offers and messages reach which customers?
- 03How do you position a grocery banner on value without starting a price war with larger competitors?
