Out of Home (OOH) has changed in response to crisis. It used to be perceived as a “less professional” channel primarily because of its management. However, market contraction and margin reduction has made companies reconsider and reorganise their Out of Home sales model approach by finding ways to gather useful information about consumption trends and improve sales execution.

The OOH model is evolving its approach. Sales are no longer confined to the distributor, wholesaler or cash and carry. And those companies who are successfully operating in the OOH channel have transitioned from “placing a product” to favour “the end consumer choosing their brand.”

 

As a result of this new out of home sales approach, many commercial departments have made a strategic shift towards a Shopper Marketing methodology and are finding ways to favourably position their brands at the point of sale. Out of Home sales used to be driven by personal relationships and “generous investment” without any control on returns to boost visibility and sell-in. Priority is now being placed on understanding how shoppers behave during the purchasing process in order to adapt commercial strategies and key leverages to meet their needs. Shopper marketing insights and accurate channel segmentation are currently the two key drivers for an outstanding Out of Home Sales execution.
