We study your needs from multiple angles, and we design a field marketing solution to activate your brand on a maximum number of contact points. Our goal is to create a broad and sustainable exposure in the most frequented places by your target in order to boost your brand awareness and/or sales.
It is more effective to design an annual plan of operational marketing instead of realizing commercial animations in a sudden way here and there especially without previous organization.
It is noteworthy that over 60% of purchases are decided on the store in an unplanned way. To get more sales, you have to attract shoppers with a prominent showcasing strategy and impactful commercial animations that cannot be unnoticed. In this sense, we offer many in-store marketing solutions:
Operational communication actions and event animation outside the point of sale, must also be part of your direct marketing plan. Among the advantages, we can mention:
It is even more effective to combine operational marketing actions inside and outside the store to:
Among our expertise areas:
The market is increasingly unstable. The need to properly adjust the sales team according to the fluctuations in demand becomes very difficult.
To optimize your business performance and be able to focus on your heart of business, we build and manage an outsourced sales force to allow you to gain greater flexibility and reactivity, and keep costs under control.
The independent traders' cannel and mini-markets still represent a large share in the distribution, especially for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG).
We help you to reference your products in as many stores as possible, improve their visibility and curry out commercial animations when needed in a list of stores with high potential.
In addition, we collect and feed qualitative information back such as:
To assess your sales team working on field or set a program of continuous improvement and performance management of your sellers, we carry out mystery shopping on place to measure the quality of reception and advice, and also to ensure that your instructions and sales policies have been applied to the letter.
The operational marketing actions require great mobilization of human resources and technical means in a well-organized way, to ensure efficient execution of promotions and event animations.
We handle the entire supply chain and ensure recurring operations such as storage, transport, installation etc.
Finally, the potential that can be offered by the operational marketing is huge, especially if it is compared with respect to the used budget.

Whatever your product, service, business sector or mode of distribution, we will design an original, optimized and ROI oriented communication campaign, so you can have a respectful and prominent presence in a hostile and competitive environment.

Surveys, Polls and Marketing Research
The AFA market research company pursues its overall approach in the marketing research field by offering a wide range of field surveys, marketing tests and data collection methodologies. Our aspiration is to respond to all strategic and operational issues that may arise.
The list of market research studies that is currently mastered and ensured by our marketing research firm is not definitive. In fact, we try to enrich it by integrating other marketing researches.
We collect all kinds of qualitative and quantitative information, primary and secondary, internal (archive files, databases and old surveys) and external (general or specialized information centers, research offices) by field surveys, polls, observatories, panels, omnibus and barometers.
This data collection task is performed by our marketing research firm for our own needs (eg an ad hoc research commissioned by one of our customers) or on behalf of other polling company under subcontracting.
To increase customer value and retention, it's recommended to carry out loyalty and customer satisfaction research in order to:
To study the variables of customers' satisfaction and loyalty, we offer several solutions:
We identify the consumers' behaviors and the attitudes that underlies them to feed the research and development department and be on the lookout for emerging trends and opportunities that can be seized.
These researches and studies are designed to know how does the brand/company behave and how it stacks up against the competition, in order to find possible areas for improvement.
Strengthening the brand image always results in improved customer loyalty or even the possibility of increase product prices without negatively impacting sales volume (brand premium).
A marketing strategy is made for the long term and impacts the entire business life cycle. For this reason, it's recommended to conduct a strategic market research to clarify the way and thus build an effective plan.
These surveys cover operational marketing and specifically the 4Ps:
A good marketing mix plan contributes to the success of the business strategy that targets the medium and long term.
These are surveys that we carry out before and after a communication campaign in order to optimize it prior its launch and to evaluate its impact after its broadcasting.
This type of marketing testing is generally performed upstream of a launch to study the assessments of potential customers vis-à-vis a prototype, and thus measure the success likelihood of the final product.
The pursued aim by marketers is to find an optimal price that maximizes revenue and consistently fits into the overall marketing strategy. For this, we suggest surveys to help you find the right price and ultimately improve your pricing strategy.
These surveys are intended to optimize your distribution policy by choosing the best distribution modes/channels and implantation places. Such studies also allow us to monitor and study the offer on the outlets (shops, supermarkets etc.).
Marketing studies are generally oriented to external stakeholders such as customers, competitors, distributors, suppliers etc. However, more and more companies begin to integrate gradually the marketing approach in their HR policy, in order to study the employees' expectations and assessments as well the employer brand.
Entrust us for your next market research! We will bring you relevant information and operational recommendations. Our goal is to help you make high-stakes strategic marketing decisions and reduce uncertainties and risks.
