What Is Innovative Marketing?

At least keep up with the rest of us…OECD defines innovative marketing as “the implementation of a new marketing method involving significant changes in product design or packaging, product placement, product promotion or pricing.” and I think that this definition sums up our new vocabulary nicely.We’ll go into more detail and other ways innovative marketing can be used later on.So, now that we have a definition for innovative marketing, what is it on a more detailed level?Innovative marketing is REALLY difficult. Imagine trying to refresh old ideas into something new, flipping established theories on their head, or reinventing the entire wheel.It’s like the invention and research part of the marketing world. It can be really hard sometimes to think up ideas and destinations that others can’t even imagine![caption id="attachment_8510" align="aligncenter" width="757"]

3 Ways of Finding Innovative Marketing Strategies Innovative Marketing in Video Advertising[/caption]

Market Research & Data Analysis

The traditional approach to finding new uncharted seas is to do market research and data analysis to find areas that consumers want and can be profitable.The research part can be done by hiring a market research agency, or by doing it in-house. The prices for market research from a third-party can get pretty ridiculous.Doing the research in-house is more economical, plus the research can be used for various different things including improving on current offerings and processes.When looking for innovative marketing strategies, surveying teammates, clients, potential clients, and others working in the same industry can dramatically improve the quality of data collected.I HIGHLY recommend using digital surveys as this’ll make importing the answers A LOT easier and more accurate. You can use tools like Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey to get your answers and save them all in one place.After the data is collected, it gets imported into a database for analysis. I am genuinely sorry if you used paper surveys, and I feel for you... Totally been there!Anyways, the industry standard for market research data analysis is SPSS but other tools like Microsoft Access can get the job done.Now that the data is imported, it’s time to look for insights for your new innovative marketing strategies!Look for similar answers between the surveys and find some trends that really stick out to you. Use these insights to formulate an innovative marketing strategy with some web searches to make some S.M.A.R.T. Goals.[caption id="attachment_8512" align="aligncenter" width="681"]

Blue Ocean Strategy

[caption id="attachment_8505" align="aligncenter" width="757"]

It is about creating and capturing uncontested market space, thereby making the competition irrelevant.”The definition above is directly off the blueoceanstrategy.com website and is definitely an interesting resource I encourage you to look into.Blue Ocean Strategy puts an emphasis on differentiation at the strategy and business model level instead of the offerings. This creates breathing room for the brand while others attempt to imitate their new innovative marketing strategies.It isn’t a permanent solution and has some limitations as far as its usefulness.The main points Blue Ocean Strategy makes are to create uncontested market space, make the competition irrelevant, create and capture new demands, break the value-cost trade-off, and align the entire firm’s activities in the pursuit of differentiation and low cost.This strategy is useful if your company is better at pivoting and repositioning as it requires a total change in strategy and business model whereas the more traditional approach is on a more superficial level.

Off Core Differentiation

[caption id="attachment_8507" align="aligncenter" width="757"]

These two types of off-core differentiation are less likely to be copied by competitors as they’re either super ballsy, weird or totally unique.The point of off core differentiation is to change something within the business model that ISN’T the core benefits.Core benefits are offerings that consumers expect in an offering. An example would be having calls to action in video ads that convert when every client and every competitor expect that to be an element within the offering.Having off core benefits can be a bit tricky and finding ones that’ll work that competitors won’t be able to copy is even harder.The first point of off core differentiation with imported benefits is to find some offerings that others not in your industry are offering, and add them to your list of offerings.This could be implementing some advertising techniques that are unique to print and bring them into a video advertising light that no one has ever tried before as an example.The second point of off core differentiation is with peculiar particularity. This is all about finding a unique style that is not traditional to your category. This could be anything from shooting online video ads with traditional film to adding a specific style to the videography to create a unique style.An example of this would be Quinten Tarentino inventing his own film category, and now any film that copies him STILL relates back to him in one way or another.

Both of these laws state that if you’re not first, you’re last. If you’re not first, invent a category to be first in.The two laws explain that first in class and best dressed are the winning ingredients to being top of mind, tip of tongue.[caption id="attachment_8502" align="aligncenter" width="1080"]
