Include the pieces used to market the event such as invitations, press releases, advertisements, or display materials. Generally, simply attending a trade show is not considered an event!
11 Integrated Promotional Campaign Three to eight complementary yet different marketing pieces with a single, unified theme or purpose promoting one product, service, event, or activity. May include a postcard, advertisement, dedicated website or mini-site, product display, etc. Different campaigns should be entered separately so each is judged on its own merit.

16 Company Website Event Photos Newspaper Coverage Facebook Page TV Coverage Blog Coverage Public Relations Community Outreach An effort to establish/maintain relationships with key stakeholders/audiences by connecting the company s mission, philosophies, or practices to the efforts of other (usually non-profit) organizations, groups, or the general public thus enhancing the organization s good citizen/neighbor reputation.

21 Tips for Your Best Entry
22 Tip #1: Write a good purpose statement Especially in a digital setting, this is the first place the judges are going to look. The statement should be kept to one page. It should outline your marketing strategy. Primarily discuss the marketing effort discuss the product only as it relates to that effort. Promotional copy is not a strategy statement your statement outlines the thinking behind the marketing pieces and the media you chose to deliver that content.
23 How Not To Write A Purpose Statement Marketing/promotional copy Self-promotion Overly dramatic Back-slapping Fluff, bombast, or superlatives Lack of measurable or quantifiable results
24 How Not To Write A Statement of Purpose Our company is committed to being on the forefront of green technology with energy-efficient products that address today s environmental challenges. We are demonstrating our leadership in this arena by being the first to introduce energy-efficient fluorescent lighting to the commercial market. These hard-hitting ads ran in trade publications across a broad array of industries offering customers revolutionary electrical solutions to address their most pressing electrical energy conservation challenges. Our marketing effort underscores our leadership while highlighting our position as the experts in energy conserving lighting technology. The featured products are designed to significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while limiting the amount of hazardous substances being released into the environment. The online lighting guide, retrofit calculator and energy saving calculator round out this highly effective campaign, providing a hands-on tool for customers and potential customers to virtually illustrate their potential cost and energy savings. This campaign generated amazing results for our company and established our dominance as a leader in commercial lighting. This effort was backed by our top-of-the-line, high quality products and supported by outstanding customer service from our first-rate sales and customer service personnel.
25 How To Write A Good Statement of Purpose Be concise, direct, and to-the-point. Don t brag. Support your claims. Provide details/specifics. Include all components of your campaign such as images, screen shots, and pictures. Write primarily about the marketing/ promotion aspects; don t sell the product.
26 Template for a Good Statement of Purpose Target audience Background/situation Strategy Objective Details of execution Outcome/results Customer comments (useful for efforts without quantifiable metrics)
27 Good Statement of Purpose Example #1 Target Audience: Our target audience was heavy users of electricity such as industrial, government and healthcare clients who maintained facilities of 50,000 square feet or larger. These clients could benefit greatly from even the smallest change in products such as motion sensors or LED lights. Background/Situation: In 2011, we launched our new Energy Services department which specializes in energy-saving products and services. Since this was a new area for us, we needed to inform our existing customers about the new service, establish our position as experts in the area of energy-saving solutions, and gain credibility for our consultants. Strategy: We direct mailed industry-specific brochures to existing and potential customers with a personal invitation from an energy consultant to schedule a consultation. Recipients were directed to a mini-url (website) for more information. Objective: Our goal was to schedule 100 consultations, garner 2,000 mini-url (website) hits and generate $5,000 in sales as a result of this effort. Details of Execution: We developed three brochures one for each market segment to introduce our five-person team. The copy emphasized their intensive training and experience in the electrical and lighting industries and outlined case studies of existing clients and specific cost savings we garnered for them. To stimulate response, we offered a free, one-hour energy consultation and provided an 800 number for scheduling. For those who weren t ready to schedule a consultation, we created a mini-url with an online calculator they could use to estimate their potential savings based on their square footage, current energy usage, and minor product installations. The URL included buttons for users for Twitter, Digg, and Reddit so users could easily share the tool with others; this also enhanced our search engine optimizationwe divided up our mailing list and had an energy consultant attach a handwritten note offering a free one-hour consultation to every client or potential client who received the brochure. Two weeks after the brochures were mailed, the energy consultants called recipients to schedule their free consultation. Outcomes/Results: This effort helped establish us as a company committed to energy-saving technology and created awareness for our brand in energy solutions. The mini-url received 1,500 hits in the first two weeks and 2,500 in the next two weeks for a total of 4,000 hits within one month of the mailing. As a result of this marketing effort, we scheduled 120 free consultations; 50% of those led to sales of $7,500 or more in energy-saving products. Customer Comments: I was surprised by how much I could save by making just a minor change in my lighting; I would have never believed it if I hadn t seen it for myself by using the online energy savings calculator.
28 Good Statement of Purpose Example #2 Target Audience: electrical distributors and end users of fuse blocks Background/Situation: This product is an enhancement of a traditional product, but offers new and improved benefits to users including reduced troubleshooting time, universal mounting holes for easy replacement, and time-saving mounting options. Strategy: The launch was designed to create awareness with both distributors and end users to generate distributor push and end-user pull for the new product. Outcome/Results 15% increase in fuse block sales 649 dedicated website hits 275 webinar attendees Customer Comments Feedback from dedicated website: Thank you for offering a product that saves me time, and my customers money! Plus the downloadable specs and videos made it easy to spec the product for project quotes. Objectives: Increase fuse block sales by 10% Garner 500 web hits on the dedicated website page Register 250 attendees to online webinars for sales reps and distributors Details of Execution: 16-page brochure dedicated web page live webinars for sales reps/distributors direct mail piece sales brochures for distributors data sheets/technical information target market flyers online calculators promotional videos new catalog copy
29 Tip #2: Choose the right category. Is it primarily a digital/social media campaign, or is it an event that happens to be delivered using social media? Consider the primary purpose of your effort. Consider entering the same effort into more than one category, when applicable. Ask, Is this truly a marketing effort? A seminar or workshop alone is not marketing; but if it s part of a well promoted, larger effort it might be.
30 Tip #3: Include only one effort per entry. Don t enter a full year of product launches as one entry; instead, choose one that was particularly effective. Or, enter several, separately. If you have more than one product launch to enter, enter each individually. Don t enter a year of PR activities; choose one that was particularly successful. Or, enter several, separately.
31 Tip #4: Enter campaign elements in individual categories. Enter one element that s particularly strong. Allows each element to be judged on its own merit. Gives you more opportunities to compete.
32 Tip #5: Tell the whole story. Use the Template for a Good Statement of Purpose Statement provided earlier. If it s a new, unique, or complicated product, briefly and concisely explain it. What insight or idea prompted this marketing effort? How did this effort address a need or solve a problem for the customer? What did you do differently that made this marketing effort successful?
33 Tip #6: Included copies of all (up to eight) pieces in a campaign. Copies of flyers Pictures of the event Copies of ads Audio of podcasts Pictures of signs Links to videos
34 Tip #7: Make it easy to view. Make it easy to open and read, well-organized, and attractively presented. Include URLs in your strategy statement. Provide a link to your video. If you re submitting several elements, combine them in one PDF document.
35 Tip #8: Keep it simple. Presentation matters! For catalogs, show the cover. Show representative sample pages. Highlight unique or customer-focused attributes.
36 Tip #9: Do great work. Do it not just to win awards, but to win loyalty, win customers, and win sales. Be a student of marketing, advertising, public relations, and promotions. Think about Best of the Best all year and challenge yourself and your company to raise the bar.
