Christmas retail planning is HUGE. For many brands, it’s the key season to balance the books for the year. It’s therefore essential that brands plan ahead and secure field marketing resource in advance so they are ready to ensure stock is available, visible and selling.
Brands who invest in permanent sales teams may need to rethink their strategy with many turning to tactical activation that directs resource to where there is most to be gained. Being agile and tactical this Christmas will ensure every penny invested in field marketing provides return on investment when it comes to sales.

Our fully-employed field team are located in every postcode in the UK, delivering unrivalled coverage. We provide a range of reactive, planned, data-driven and crowd-sourcing services with the ability to dial up and dial down as required. This helps brands to manage costs by only investing in field marketing resource when and where it’s required.

Even if you haven’t fully planned out what your activity will be in this year’s peak season, we can work with you to lock in the right type and level of resource to suit. Securing hours now and being agile on where to direct the resource, provides the best option for success. By planning ahead and rethinking your field marketing strategy, you’ll be in the best position possible to maximise sales in the most cost effective way.
