Plan Your Presence
Developing products and services that people desire means collecting a lot of information, deeply analyzing it, and positioning your offer in a winning way in the marketplace. At Crankworks, we have decades of experience in figuring out how consumers tick. We’re up to speed on the art and science of determining who your most likely prospects are, and making what they want conveniently available when they want it.
We’ll create a product vision and a strategy that put your offerings head and shoulders above the competition in the eyes of your ideal customers. We’ll define buyer personas, analyze market conditions and find out what other companies are up to. We can help choose the product your team will deliver, and outline a timeline for implementation that includes a release plan, and a feedback mechanism that will help shape improvements in your product and in your marketing. We’ll help ensure that you and your people in sales, marketing, and support are working on the same page. We will provide regular updates on your product roadmap and keep you informed about what’s going on every step of the way.
Curate Your CollectionCrankworks will help you position your market research as an integral part of your business planning process – which is where it should be. This research is absolutely critical to pursuing winning strategies like market segmentation (identifying the personas of your customers) and product differentiation (creating a product identity that makes it stand out from your competitors). We’ll gather the kind of hard data that will guide you to invest in better business decisions – ones that save you time and money, while helping you deal with the marketing challenges all companies face.
Position For SuccessAt Crankworks, we use the Market Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning (STP) approach to marketing. It’s audience-driven rather than product-focused, and research has shown that STP delivers more messages to more audiences—and creates better results—than any other marketing approach. We find it’s most useful in developing marketing communications plans that deliver personalized messages to the right audiences with the right media at the right time.
Crankworks will find out what customers are out there, select the ones that can best be served by your product or service, and then help you build brand loyalty with those people.
