companies have not communicated and marketed that strategies that well.

Product delivering the promise which consumers expect is the single most influence . Product deliverability !
Way to reach customers through sales force
No marketing program is successful without the sales force reaching
their customers. We develop the programs taking valuable comments from
Sales force as they are in constant touch with the consumers. The
marketing program or promotions is then developed for the consumers. The
sales force is given lot of tools which are scientifically tested like
the media plan, Visual merchandising , price offs etc etc to reach their
customers and enhance their sales.
