Challenges for Brand Marketers
In today's market, CPG brand marketers are facing a number of challenges. Some of these challenges include decreasing brand loyalty, difficulty standing out, and breaking through the noise. Let’s dive into these challenges a little more.
Decreasing Brand Loyalty
Three years after the COVID-19 pandemic, some industries are still facing serious supply chain issues. When supply chain issues arise, this can directly impact brands and ultimately consumers. Imagine going to the store to purchase an essential product - say toilet paper. You are brand-loyal. When you see your brand is out of stock you are likely to purchase the in-stock competitor product. This is a shopper marketers worst scenario because there is a chance you will like this product more and never purchase the original brand again. Another challenge is the breadth of comparable options consumers have. As a consumer, you may be looking for a specific product and do not really care what brand you buy from. Each time you visit the store you just purchase whatever product they have available at the time, or whatever is on sale. This can also prove to be difficult for marketers since you aren’t brand loyal.
Breaking Through the Noise
As we discussed earlier, consumers are bombarded with an overwhelming number of products when they visit the store or shop online. There can be hundreds of options for one type of product! It can be challenging for brand marketers to stand out from the crowd and draw attention to their particular product, let alone their brand.
Lack of Direct Relationship with Brand
Oftentimes consumers are very particular about the specific store they shop at and don’t necessarily pay attention to the brand they are purchasing from. This can provide challenges to brand marketers, as they need to find a way to be memorable to their consumers, so they continue to purchase from their particular brand.
