GENERAL
Front-door marketing, as defined by Power Direct, is a highly specialized and measurable discipline that uses creative, precisely targeted media to reach consumers in one of the last uncluttered environments — their front door. Reaching consumers at the front door optimizes their engagement with advertising messages and can improve response. Front-door marketing includes door hangers, samples, kits or anything else you need delivered that you want to make an impact with.
Front-door marketing and door hangers are used by brands in a variety of industry categories who wish to communicate relevant, high-value offers to targeted consumers.
Power Direct’s fully turnkey program includes a bundled price for targeting, printing, distribution, and verification services. Creative services are available at additional costs.
Front door marketing can be used to solve many marketing challenges such as traffic generation, awareness and branding, acquisition, retention, market expansion, competitive blunting, new product launches, grand openings, new product trial, and loyalty.
Many major brands from a variety of industry categories use front-door marketing and door hangers, such as Comcast, Verizon Wireless, Dick’s Sporting Goods, T-Mobile, LA Fitness and Home Depot. We are also happy to partner with many agencies such as Moroch, StarCom Worldwide, and MARS Advertising to create front-door marketing programs.
Many factors affect response, such as market conditions, message and offer, creative, targeting, distribution (quality and quantity), and product or service characteristics.
To improve response, consider optimizing your creative. Simple changes include using only a simple, powerful visual, having a strong offer or call-to-action, using minimal copy, and having a benefit-oriented headline.
TARGETING AND ANALYTICS
PowerAnalytics is a proprietary system built by Power Direct that is specifically designed to pinpoint optimal delivery strategies for front-door advertising. The application is based on a custom developed GIS-based platform to bring a broad range of essential market data such as demographics, lifestyle segmentation, consumer behavior, consumer buying power and ethnicity from various sources including Nielsen Claritas, Experian, Simmons, US Postal Service and others into a unique unified analytical application to ensure the selection of the most effective delivery strategies. The system is also fully integrated with iVerify such that delivery strategies flow seamlessly to the operations team to ensure accurate tracking and management of the front-door delivery plan.

EXPERIENTIAL MARKETING
Power Direct provides brand ambassador teams and experiential marketing services at trade shows, festival programs, launch events, in-store and retail events, B2B events, and sponsorship activations.
We have a national network of Power Direct employee recruiters, and they use a proprietary process to identify, recruit, train, and retain reliable contractors and employees who exude enthusiasm and professionalism. Ambassadors are hired locally, within reasonable travel distance, or as a full-time traveling representative, depending on the location of your event.
Ambassador teams go through a training process where they learn how to talk about your products, services, or whatever other offers constitute the specifics of your experiential marketing campaign.
As a brand ambassador company, we take care of the hiring process and all the HR issues that come with it so you don’t have to hassle with this. This includes background checks, interviews, analysis of past work, and sometimes even role play training or supervised trials. Those who can excel at this type of work aren’t hard to spot, and they stand out easily. And all teams are led by experienced, veteran W2 employees from Power Direct.
The key is in finding the right people and then training them effectively. Once your ambassador team is finalized, the training process begins, and this can involve everything from brand guidebooks, in-person and remote training sessions, supervised in-the-field training, and more.
Then, after each day of your event — if it goes for more than one day — we look at performance metrics specific to your campaign. This could be anything from surveys filled out to product samples given to leads and contact information collected to free trials signed up.
You’ll be able to see how well the team is performing. And for events that last multiple days or will take place at regular intervals, such as every weekend for a particular season, we will share your campaign metrics and work on improving any areas that need extra attention.
Power Direct serves the entire United States and in theory can run brand ambassador events anywhere, given enough time to plan the campaign and assemble a team that can travel to your event’s location. Most of our events obviously tend to take place in or near larger cities and suburbs, because for experiential marketing campaigns, you want a lot of potential prospects.
