Direct Marketing
We have implemented a well-proven methodology to conduct operational marketing projects of all kinds such as commercial animation, sales promotion, outsourced/external sales force, street marketing, merchandising and events.
Our direct marketing agency supports you regardless of your size in all phases, starting with the design of the communication campaign, then the staffing/briefing, the logistics field and shipments/installations, regular field control and finally reporting.
Our traditional cycle is divided as follows:
To understand the content and scope of a field marketing project, we begin a first phase which aims to immerse ourselves in your world and get to know you:
So many questions must be considered in order to prepare solid foundation for the project.
This phase represents the spark that lights our choice and from which arises a strong concept.
We analyze in detail the brief and we try to answer the following questions:
- Who?
What is the target to hit by the communication campaign (shoppers, young people, mothers ...)? It is essential to avoid losing track of your target in order not to waste unnecessary the campaign budget.
- What?
What operational marketing action proves appropriate? Commercial animation, sales promotion, an action of street marketing, or better, a multi-faceted campaign?
- Where?
In-store, out-store, on the beaches ...? Where can I find abundantly my target?
- When?
What is the ideal time to meet a lot of people? Should we coincide our actions with a specific day (Mother's Day, morning, evening, weekend, and early morning)?
- How?
The answer to this question allows us to detail the communication campaign (POS, theme, profiles to recruit, promotion etc.).
- How many?
Quantify and plan actions, resources and expected results as far as possible.
- Why?
The purposes for which the device will be realized promotional: brand awareness, traffic, product launch etc.
To answer these questions exhaustively and qualitatively, we conduct brainstorming meetings and group sessions to imagine the right solution.
Thereafter, we finalize an operational plan and we submit a detailed proposal.
Once the communication campaign is conceived, the right team should be constituted and trained based on your expectations and the preliminary analysis, in order to realize the project as it was dreamed.
We follow a rigorous recruitment and selection process in order to get the appropriate staff:
The post-mortem process in recruitment/training allows us to improve continuously our database, and even retain some good profiles for some complex and technical products.
Once the team is trained, it must be ensured that it is well briefed on products to promote, the promotional offer, the message to be spread etc.
The action is initiated, the material is dispatched and installed, the team is in place, each is equipped with his tools. After the successful launch, a full field control is ensured by a dedicated project manager.
A series of control visits are carried out, these inspections focus on the reception of the animation equipment and the presence of facilitators in due form at the agreed place.
A launch status report will be sent with photos, facilitators that were present on the event area and what was not launched with the respective reasons.
To ensure good performance, we rely heavily on efficient logistics management of the delivered equipment by the client (POS, samples, gifts etc.).
Every day, the team on field sends us reports of sales and the qualitative feedback from customers/shoppers. These data are aggregated in a single file to get an overall view of the performance achieved and the impact of the communication campaign.
Our project managers exploit the generated reports to analyze, compare, synthesize and extract knowledge to manage properly the project during its development in order to maximize the return on investment.
To finish the operation, we write a comprehensive and transparent report, which thoroughly describes the progress of the operation and its return on investment (ROI), followed by relevant and operational recommendations.

Direct Marketing
AFA is also a direct marketing, sales promotion and event agency. We cover all Morocco thanks to our extended team, and we manage operational marketing projects from our main office which is based in Casablanca.
We carry out different projects and missions that can be classified in the so-called alternative marketing or below-the-line communication, such as:
Our event agency handles all these marketing field operations from concept elaboration to concrete execution. We adopt a transversal approach to reach as many shoppers as possible in different places, in order to multiply the recall opportunities and arouse the clients' attention.
We act in a huge field that spans from food, to high-tech products (household appliances, telecommunications), and including the health and beauty products. We have also the ability to work in all places where we can deploy impacting field marketing actions (hypermarkets, supermarkets, CHR, streets, markets, shopping centers etc.).
We have the ability to quickly engage multiple profiles such as hosts and hostesses, facilitators etc. throughout Morocco for large-scale direct marketing projects.
The communication campaigns that are made with traditional media and classic advertising tools like TV and radio are characterized by non-optimal targeting, and result in a huge underexploited budget.
By contrast, the operational marketing maximizes targeting thanks to one-to-one communication with the customer and generates faster and guaranteed return on investment. In addition, interaction with consumers allows us to listen and learn more about their needs, purchase inhibitors... it's quite the opposite in TV/radio where the message is unilateral!
Direct marketing also has the advantage of communicating an energetic and creative image of the company and its brands.
Better yet, if the action is well conducted, it may turn into success by generating spectacular buzz and huge virality. Indeed, it is the common outcome with guerrilla marketing actions that are very impactful and that generate significant media relay. The rule of thumb is to incorporate a large dose of originality and choose the suitable place/time and good facilitators for such commercial actions.
More than ever, you need to go on the field to win new customers, instead of being stuck in your office and leave your competitors forge close ties with your own customers. Entrust your offensive projects to a real field marketing agency.
Our dynamic and reactive consulting firm is at your disposal to carry out your event or promotional advertising campaigns from conception to implementation. Our goal is to defend your products by putting them in more prominent areas in relation to your competitors, where your customers and potential consumers are located.
We handle all steps to launch effective, efficient and offbeat communication campaigns, but still in concordance with your overall strategy.
AFA Advisory is a consultancy firm whose mission is to provide its clients with Marketing, Communication, Commerce, Management, Organization and IT consultants to help them improve their overall performance.
Let's pave your path to AFA
