“It’s okay to make your visuals big and bold – By Noa Glouberman ever underestimate trade shows. “The idea that trade shows don’t make good use of marketing dollars is false,” says Mark Bourgeau, president of Delta-based Exhibitree Display. “Trade shows are one of the best ways to build brand awareness and generate sales leads, but you need to make sure that you cover all your bases.” Begin by deﬁning your goals. “How many [sales] leads do you want to walk away with?” Bourgeau asks. “That [question] forms the basis for investing

Hanif Muljiani, president of Richmondheadquartered Xibita Ltd. “Your instinct may be to send employees who can more easily give up a day of work. But remember, you’re there to meet potential clients, and statistics show that they’re often ready to buy. If they have technical questions or want to make a deal, you must have senior-level attendance and technical know-how at the show.” Just as pressing: booth placement. “Some spots in a convention space get less traﬃc;

some get more,” says Hui. “Real estate counts, so make sure you locate yourself strategically when you sign up” as an exhibitor. Parking yourself by your competitors, he adds, isn’t necessarily a bad idea: “Think about those districts in big cities where similar businesses clump together. People know to go there to get that product; the same goes for trade shows.” After that, according to Muljiani, “it really comes down to what are you going to say. You need one bold, impactful, laser-focused statement that instantly tells people who you are and what your value proposition is. It’s okay to make your visuals big and bold – trade-show marketing is usually larger than life – but don’t dilute the message.” Hui agrees. “You’d be surprised at how many exhibitors put too much detail up or too many busy graphics and images,” says Hui. “Make sure that the text in your signs and displays is big enough to be seen from 20-plus feet away, but don’t drown it out with too many distractions.” Bourgeau says, “You need to be quick and succinct at attracting people’s attention. If they don’t instantly connect their needs with your booth, they won’t give you a second glance. They’ll just walk right by you.”

Hui advises “doing something less conventional, something different” from what others do. Changing something simple, like flooring, can make an impression. Getting heavy-handed with gimmicks, however, can backfire. Hui warns against cramming your booth with “everything your business has,” lest “ things get too busy.” As for hand-outs, “70 per cent of all trade-show materials – brochures, freebies, gifts – get thrown away,” says Muljiani, adding that many delegates travel long distances to the show and have little room in their luggage to carry giveaways home. “Quality before quantity,” he says. “You have to think, ‘What’s the value in giving that gift?’ Is it going to help you to make

a sale, get a contact name or number or follow up” the contact later? One of the best freebies he himself has ever received was a two-part gift: a remote-control car bearing the company’s logo. The remote was missing. As he recalls, an attached note read, “‘Want the remote? Ask us to drop it by in person, and we’ll tell you how our company can help your business.’ Brilliant.” Muljiani says, “Don’t be afraid to do things in a fun, cheeky way, even when it comes to your booth staﬀ. Those energetic, bubbly people can work wonders in drawing a crowd and making those critical connections for your business. That is, after all, the whole value of a trade show: you’re investing in meeting people.” Ą BIV Magazines ADPAGES/2011

onnecting the data dots

How effective is online market research?

By Curt Cherewayko arket researchers are finding social media, the Internet overall and new digital technologies to be necessary tools. Yet opinions vary on how often they should be used and on their effectiveness in gathering market data. On one side: companies like Vancouver-based Vision Critical Communications Inc., which reported an increase of 36 per cent in annual revenue in 2010 from fully embracing new data-collection methods like online survey panels. On the other: companies that use digital, web and socialmedia tools more cautiously. These include British Columbia’s second-largest market-research firm by employee count, the Mustel Group, which still trusts randomized telephone surveys and focus groups. In March 2011, Vision Critical created its 500th online community panel. Each member of the company’s panels has been recruited to provide, as needed, an opinion about a particular brand. Vision Critical’s customers, which include such major brands as Banana Republic, NASCAR and Quiksilver Inc., can interact with other members of their own respective community panels any time through highly engaging, visually stimulating online surveys. With an average response rate of 51 per cent, the company says these panels easily outperform more traditional research methods. Each panel can have anywhere from 5,000 to 15,000 members, recruited through warranty cards, email, websites, banner ads and retail points-of-sale. Reid says that Vision Critical’s panel platform allows businesses nimbly to maintain ongoing conversations with consumers rather than simply analyzing data from the past to speculate about what to do in the future. While fewer than two per cent of Vision Critical’s thousands of panel members respond to web surveys through mobile devices, the firm believes that surveying on such devices is the next frontier of market research. “We’re spending $10 million on research and development this year,” says Reid. “Everything we’re doing, we’re thinking about the need to leverage mobile.” He cites high refusal rates among persons asked to participate

in telephone surveys as a key reason that invitation-based web surveys, even if through mobile devices, are more effective and affordable. Evi Mustel, principal of the Mustel Group in Vancouver, believes that online and traditional market research methods each has advantages and disadvantages. The anonymity of the Internet may encourage people to respond more candidly to online surveys, says Mustel, whereas the same people may hesitate to divulge information over the telephone. Yet she notes that many online polls are difficult to conduct randomly. They are usually completed with people who have been invited to participate after purchasing products or engaging with brands in some capacity, as on websites. Objectivity is undermined if surveys are weighted toward people who may have existing affinities for particular brands. “We do a lot of work for municipalities and regional governments, and they’re not comfortable with the idea of using panels of people who have been recruited, who have already opted in,” says Mustel. “They want to do something more democratic.” Vision Critical addresses such issues by creating large panels representing the general population, distinct from its smaller client-operated panels. The Angus Reid Forum, for example, has more than 100,000 members, who may be asked at any time to participate in random surveys on topics to which they may or may not have a particular connection. Mustel also notes that while nearly everyone has a cell phone or landline, certain ethnicities and age groups use the Internet more than others: another fact that can skew an online survey. Mustel notes that it can be difficult to conduct a randomized survey over the phone, given that more and more people are screening calls or have signed up for the do-not-call list, which is designed to prevent unwanted calls from telemarketers but which has been adopted by many market researchers. “There are certain design factors that hinder our ability to have a truly random sample,” says Mustel of all market research. Rob Dawson, a partner at Vancouver’s Concerto Marketing Group Inc., adds that whatever the medium, researchers must understand what’s driving consumers’ behaviours and responses: “It is very easy to gather a lot of feedback, anecdotes and stories from customers, but unless you have a framework for analyzing and categorizing it all and reacting to it, you’re basically just going to have a large collection of data.” Ą BIV Magazines ADPAGES/2011

New devices like the tablet and PVR haven’t killed traditional ad media; they’re tweaking the message

By Curt Cherewayko ust when you thought that the Internet and social media were large enough monkey wrenches for traditional advertisers, along come the smartphone, the tablet and the personal video recorder (PVR). The appearance of each new device makes it all the more important for advertisers not only to develop the right messages for consumers but also to consider how to deliver them. Is the television commercial still a valid ad platform now that consumers are using PVRs to fast-forward through breaks? How do commercial-free podcasts on the iPhone aﬀect traditional radio spots? And what of the tablet: is it like a small TV or more a large smartphone? Perhaps it’s like a laptop? Or is it a hybrid of all three? Carmen Hunt, an instructor in media planning and buying at British Columbia Institute of Technology and a former media director of ad agency TBWA\Vancouver (now called Trees & Rocks) knows it’s not the medium that advertisers should be chasing but the audience. Each new device allows consumers new ways to access more media.

TV is still TV Even the PVR encourages more (or at least more tailored) use of media. With the TV audience still watching if not growing, Hunt says advertisers have the key task of developing messages creative enough to capture and keep attention. Partly thanks to the ad industry’s creativity, the PVR hasn’t killed the TV commercial yet. Hunt notes that even though a PVR user can fast-forward through commercials, a viewer without a PVR will often leave the room during commercials for a bathroom break or to grab a snack. At least PVR users are still watching commercials, albeit in fast-forward. Hunt says that advertisers are acknowledging that behaviour. For example, key messages such as brand logos or slogans are made to linger a little longer on the screen during commercials so as to be noticed even by fastforwarding PVR users.

“Overall, TV ad prices are fairly stable because we’re shifting away from big-budget national, top10 programming to local news programming, which

“With digital, we’re actually blurring the lines between product creation and marketing. That’s where it gets really exciting” – Sandy Fleischer, senior vice-president, Dare “Overall, TV ad prices are fairly stable because we’re shifting away from bigbudget national, top-10 programming to local news programming, which tends to be cheaper on a cost-per-audience basis,” she says. Reinforcing the value of traditional TV, Deloitte Canada notes in its 2011 Canadian technology, media and telecommunications predictions that the growing penetration of large ﬂat-panel TVs and the rise in high-deﬁnition broadcast material should increase the visual impact of programming and advertising.

tends to be cheaper on a cost-per-audience basis” – Carmen Hunt, instructor in media planning and buying, British Columbia Institute of Technology PVR penetration in this country was 20 per cent at the beginning of 2010, according to BBM Canada. And BBM doesn’t believe that percentage will grow much in 2011. BBM’s ﬁnding that the percentage of realtime television viewing in Canada remains above 95 per cent suggests that even PVR users still watch plenty of real-time TV. Hunt says that many PVR viewers still prefer catching local TV news live rather than recording it. That’s one reason, she says, that many advertisers believe ad spots during news are particularly eﬀective today.

DIY radio While commercial radio revenue was down five per cent in 2009 (the most recent annual figure available from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission), more than two-thirds of Canadians still tune in to radio. This suggests that the triple-whammy of the iPhone, satellite radio and the podcast hasn’t yet killed terrestrial radio. Hunt says that listeners still tune to radio for local content such as the weather, traffic reports and music from the area. She notes the new advertising opportunities presented at the global level by the Internet-powered podcast. Instead of buying ad airtime, companies are creating their own podcasts. For example, financial-service firms are creating podcasts in which employees discuss banking issues, while electronics

makers are creating ones that provide step-by step guidance on putting together the perfect home-entertainment system. Enter the tablet The publishing industry, which has perhaps felt the digital shift most acutely, could have its white knight in the tablet. For instance, savvy publishers and advertisers are developing the tablet audience by providing iPad users with exclusive newspaper or magazine oﬀerings. One of the most interesting features so far has emerged from Dare, a Vancouverbased ad agency. The paint application known as Remote Palette is both an iPhone and iPad application that tethers the two devices together using Bluetooth technology. The iPhone acts as a colour palette, the iPad as a paint canvas. “From the user’s perspective, it is this jaw-dropping demonstration of how two devices can work together to create an experience,” says Dare’s senior vicepresident, Sandy Fleischer. The company is creating new applications for clients that similarly use the two devices at once. “I think the big diﬀerence here when you talk about the shift from traditional advertising to digital is that we are providing utility,” says Fleischer. “With digital, we’re actually blurring the lines between product creation and marketing. “That’s where it gets really exciting.” Ą BIV Magazines ADPAGES/2011

“Plan to be in trouble” – Jerrid Grimm, vice-president, client service, Newad

reat outdoors

The risks and rewards of today’s eye-catching techniques

By Joel McKay errid Grimm smiles when he sees the stolen pink flamingo in the office across the street. Asked about it, he says the plastic bird is evidence that guerilla marketing works. A few years ago, he was part of the advertising team that spread 10,000 flamingos throughout Vancouver’s public spaces to advertise Telus.

The campaign reflected a then-popular television ad featuring a live flamingo. As trendy as the commercial was, a horde of plastic flamingos littered throughout the city created a whole new set of risks for the advertisers. Grimm and his team had to consider the fact the campaign might backfire in any number of ways, not the least of which was turning customers away from

Telus or facing the city’s wrath. “You have to set it up in advance. The idea is: plan to be in trouble,” says Grimm, vice-president, client service, at Newad Inc. “Have a contingency, so [that] if you’re doing something guerilla, know that you’ll likely get a complaint and know how to deal with it.” That’s Grimm’s advice for guerilla marketing, that is, unconventional advertising Photo: Dominic Schaefer Photography

that relies on creativity more than budget. In the case of the flamingos, Grimm and his team studied the city’s code ahead of time to make sure they weren’t breaking any bylaws. They also planned a takedown for noon the same day. When they returned to pick up the flamingos, only 500 were left. The vast majority had been stolen, and one of them wound up in the office across the street. So was it a success? Grimm maintains that if Telus managed to get someone to retain a part of its brand in his or her office over the next four years, the campaign should be deemed to have succeeded. “We actually wanted them to steal it.”

Yet for each guerilla-marketing story that works, there’s another that doesn’t. That’s why Pattison Outdoor Advertising, a division of Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Group, sticks with traditional billboards. “Guerilla can say, ‘Oh yeah, it works’, but saying it and proving it may be different,” explains Randy Otto, president of Pattison Outdoor. “If it’s worked once, then why wouldn’t [the advertiser] be doing it over and over again? Why is it only a one-time wonder for an advertiser?” Don’t get him wrong; Otto is the first to admit that new ideas are fabulous for the advertising industry. It’s just that guerilla tactics can be so off-putting that they tend to push audiences away or make them angry, he feels. “We get people coming to us with pretty wild creative [ideas].… Will it catch the public’s attention? Absolutely. Will it catch it in the way that will allow us to stay in business? Probably not, because in our industry the medium and the message [go] hand in glove.” That’s why Pattison focuses on introducing new ways for traditional billboards to catch the eye. Advancements in large-format digital printing are creating more vibrant ads than ever, Otto says, and the company is also switching to LED lighting on all poster panels across the country. Pattison is a fan of digital billboards, though they must be placed in the right spot, Otto says. Two years ago, local advertisers balked at the opportunity to acquire ad space on the Squamish Nation’s digital billboards. The billboards were embroiled in controversy when locals felt they obstructed the natural beauty surrounding Metro Vancouver’s roadways. Once the initial hubbub wore off, however, advertisers ate the space up. The billboards were even home to a public art project this April. Simon Fraser University professor Clint Burnham and project partner Lorna Brown bought $30,000 worth of space on the billboards to post Twitter-like messages written in aboriginal languages. Burnham says the billboards were a perfect medium for conveying cultural messages about First Nations.

Projection advertising by the Media Merchants: a guerilla tactic gone mainstream

The project was called Digital Natives, and while it shed light on local cultures that few people understood, billboard operator Astral didn’t agree to everything requested. “We did get some blowback from them as well: there were three messages they just would not publish,” Burnham says. Brodie Gunning, chief executive oﬃcer of Vancouver’s Media Merchants, says he spends much of his time changing clients’ opinions about billboard advertising. “A lot of people have this negative stigma or negative opinion of what billboards have done,” he says. Founded in 2005, his group has quickly become one of Canada’s largest nontraditional advertising companies. Non-traditional means that ads rely on projectors that stream campaigns on walls or windows. A few years ago, projection advertising was considered a guerilla tactic, but Gunning says it’s gone mainstream.

As Pattison Outdoor Advertising president Randy Otto says, “It’s about taking an idea and message and making there be an ‘aha!’ moment.” The simplicity of the campaign for Shine Dental in Winnipeg (above, left) helped Pattison Outdoor win a major creative award

That, and the company doesn’t want to be known as a guerilla advertiser, a term that can have a negative eﬀect on sales. Gunning says more and more clients are latching on to projection advertising (the company’s sales grew 500 per cent in 2010).

As complicated as projection or guerilla campaigns might sound, Gunning believes that basic ads are best even in new media. Since the viewer walking down the street has just “ﬁve or 10 seconds, and that’s all,” simplicity, he argues, is the way to go. Ą

editor’s best 10 keys to writing clearly on line By Naomi Wittes Reichstein Face it: Not even your mom will want to spend much time perusing your company’s website. To make life easy for viewers, use crisp, clear English. If, like me, you enjoy linguistic complexity, save it for your own personal site or the novel you’re writing on your own time. On your company’s site, incorporate: Simplicity: Say what you mean directly and concisely. Even highly educated readers respond differently to online from offline writing. Most of us accept complicated text more readily from printed pages than from websites. Emphasize the main message you want your viewer to take away. Avoid caveats and self-qualifications. Visibility: Typeface colours should pop from the screen; reserve soft pastels for background. Use text large enough for comfortable legibility. Relegate to fine print information that viewers are unlikely to spend time reading.

ADPAGES/2011

00.0_ADP2011_1-29.indd 14

Positive statements: Positive statements and instructions are more helpful than negative ones. Generally, emphasize what viewers should do rather than what they shouldn’t do. If your website has practical applications, state clearly which steps viewers should take and in what order. Short words: Favour brief terms over multisyllabic ones. Avoid technicalities except when they’re absolutely necessary for your intended audience. Snappy sentences: Use brief declarative and imperative sentences. Simple constructions (subject, verb, object) are easiest for readers to follow quickly. “You” statements engage customers effectively. Use active, not passive verbs. Limit use of extended subordinate clauses. Brief paragraphs: Eyes tire more quickly when cast over computer screens than over print. Many viewers find it difficult to confront extended blocks of text on line. Start new paragraphs frequently, separating them with extra line breaks to create white space.

List formats: Bullets and numberings break paragraphs up to facilitate reading. Such formats are especially helpful for conveying capsules of information or giving the viewer step-by-step instructions. Example: the format of this sidebar article I’ve written. Typeface: To direct and relieve viewers’ eyes, vary fonts, their styles and their sizes. Caution: Use becomes abuse when too many such variations appear on the same page. Headings: Boldfaced headings and subheadings break paragraphs up and provide signposts to guide viewers quickly. Professionalism: Simplicity doesn’t mean sloppiness. Craft your site meticulously. If your own writing isn’t stellar, hire a copywriter with online experience. No one’s perfect, so even if you’re good enough to do the writing yourself, hire someone else to copyedit and, ideally, a third person to proofread. Ą

substance over style How to find the best design partner for your business

By Mark Busse

ith graphic communications increasingly recognized as critical to success, it’s important to ﬁnd the right design ﬁrm for your company. Yet many in business struggle to attract, evaluate and select design partners. One might hire friends or family, while another might create a contest with a prize for the selected submission. Many others rely on archaic requests for proposals (RFPs) for transparency and objectivity in arriving at competitive pricing. The resulting relationships can be as unrewarding as the outcomes. Is there a better way?

Seek help in your search Recommendations from within your own industry or from design experts will almost always be more effective than online searches or RFPs. Consult with design associations on identifying qualified candidates from their certified ranks. Are the candidates thought leaders in design, respected by industry, peers and clients? Or consider delegating the search to a marketing consultant with experience procuring and managing design. Look beyond portfolios In addition to evaluating a design team’s portfolio, investigate the company’s skills in business and project management. Don’t judge only on esthetics or descriptions of process. Challenge candidates to express what was behind their design choices and how their particular approaches solved clients’ problems. Visit their studios and speak to them in person to judge fit. You needn’t become friends, but you should share similar perspectives, goals or ethics and enjoy collaborating together. Ask for case studies and testimonials Request comprehensive case studies that outline goals, context and approach

to reveal whether processes are resultsdriven. Ask for testimonials or contact information for specific clients. If candidates don’t willingly offer these, move on. Who will do the work? Investigate each firm’s current employees and in-house capabilities. How many long-term, full-time designers do the firms employ? How much design or development do they farm out, and are they transparent about this? Inquire how direct a role the senior members will play in your project. What’s included? What is and isn’t covered in candidates’ fees? Do they provide working files? Do they use proprietary or open-source solutions? What’s their stance on ownership and copyright, and how do they handle cost overruns? Will candidates be there for you in future? The real value of a relationship with a designer is in his or her repeatable process and creative thinking applied to your problem, not merely to your final product. Since the worth of this relationship often emerges over time, inquire about candidates’ plans for growth. Look for indications that firms have been and will be around long-term. Are candidates asking questions? Do candidates spend most of their time selling you on themselves, or do they seem genuinely interested in your problem and goals? The best practitioners will be hungry for the details underlying your situation and may push you to reconsider causal factors and solutions. Speak openly about your business needs and expectations.

Seek a consultant, not a proposal Avoid the temptation to require designers to provide firm cost proposals up front on the basis of your description of deliverables. Instead, share your problem, goals, budget and timeline and engage a qualified designer to work with you to prescribe strategic solutions tailored to your unique situation. After this initial discovery, create a project plan that outlines the specifics of the solution. Write a contract after arriving at an agreement. As to hourly rates, you get what you pay for: prices will reflect experience and efficiency. Like hiring a senior employee or taking on a partner, choosing the right design firm can be a critical moment in the growth of your business. The best candidates won’t give away strategy to prospects – certainly not before doing the research and diagnostics they’ll need to understand the situation fully – so don’t ask for it before hiring a team. If the discovery phase doesn’t impress you or you dislike working together, move on. About 20 per cent of our business at Industrial Brand comes from clients who hired design providers ineffectively and have had to redo their identity systems or websites, didn’t understand what they were paying for or found themselves with limited options after their designers vanished. Don’t fixate on deliverables and costs before choosing your partner. What you’re really paying for is a well-considered process. Use the opportunity to start a longterm relationship with a partner you trust. Ą Mark Busse is design director of Industrial Brand (www.industrialbrand.com).

type styles Print isn’t dying, it’s just changing … like everything else

By Rob Newell

s Pär Edin, a director at McKinsey, said, “Uncertainty is the new normal.” From the invention of the wheel to that of the iPad, we’ve always existed with change, but what’s different today is its speed. With technology changing how we live, work, play, use media and respond to messages, consumers have more power than ever before to access information, join communities and participate with what they want, when they want, where they want, how they want and if they want. How can we inspire such connected people to associate with brands today? The print world has been at the centre of this storm. Although stories about declines in readership, circulation and revenue have been exaggerated, print is certainly undergoing massive change. And such change – involving less time, attention and trust from consumers and an explosion in product choice and media channels – aﬀects profoundly how publishers and advertisers must connect with their audiences. How can advertisers get the most out of print today? Take print out of isolation Think about how you’re using print’s mass reach to supercharge a conversation about your brand. How will print link to everything else you’re doing in paid, owned or earned media? How do your printed eﬀorts unite with all your other endeavours to tell a larger story? Produce print ads that people will share Stop thinking of the perusal of your ads as end points. Today it’s just the beginning. What happens next? How can readers participate in or pass along your advertising? People trust friends and family above all, the 16

most recommended brands grow the fastest, and word of mouth drives the economy. So use print to deliver ideas that people feel compelled to share. Digital enhances print Don’t see digital as a replacement for print; it enhances it. In 2009, Esquire created an entire edition in which augmented reality brought every page to life. Augmented reality means adding computer-generated sensory input to a real-world environment; Esquire achieved this by using QR codes that readers could hold up to the computer webcam. Volkswagen recently ran a print campaign whereby the reader could virtually test-drive a car inside a print ad by using a special smartphone app. Be careful, though: a QR code isn’t an idea, just a tool that can help bring an idea to life. Don’t be an encyclopedia Advertisers often use print to deliver large amounts of information aimed at readers’ rational minds. Yet the latest research shows that most choices by consumers are motivated by emotion. People don’t “think, feel, do”; they “feel, do, think.” Tap into the emotional brain rather than delivering rationally based information and data.

Think about context People choose print for very strong reasons: a publication’s content, editorial point of view, tone of voice, style, etc. “One size fits all” won’t yield exceptional results. To connect with readers of a particular publication, create ads that take into account the context in which they’re being read. Foster deeper relationships with fewer publications but with key titles, the ones you see as being great fits for your brand and the most important for reaching the right audiences in the right kind of editorial environments. Work with these publications to co-create content. It’s still all about the idea One thing that will never change in any form of advertising: better ideas deliver better results. If your advertising isn’t entertaining, useful or innovative, everything else is academic. Print publications will be around for many years to come. They’ll evolve to become more targeted; the great will prosper, the bad disappear. Readers will become even more loyal, interested and passionate about the publications they read. It’s been speculated that these changes will lead print to become more prestigious, offering relationships with readers that will be deeper and richer than those today. Ideas worth sharing will always be in style, and by incorporating them into your print advertising, you’ll continue to find the medium to be a key part of your mix.

Province pursues online strategies for drawing tourism

By Peter Mitham emember the long-running “Super, Natural British Columbia” campaign? It remains one of the most successful tourism promotions the province has ever conducted, pairing a succinct statement that incorporates the province’s name with memorable images of inspiring scenes. Today, it’s the 2010 Winter Olympic Games that people highlight as having drawn hearts and minds to B.C. and inspiring fresh waves of tourists to visit the province. With dynamic competitions in picturesque settings, the games were tailor-made for audiences attuned to broadcast media. Yet for all their glory, the Olympics lasted a mere two weeks: shorter than the lives of most ad campaigns. Deep impressions were made, but the province’s tourism industry then had to leverage them to draw attention to all B.C. has to oﬀer. The initiatives overseen by Carol Nelson, director, marketing North America, for the provincial agency Tourism British Columbia, focus on the digital realm, where most people now make their travel plans. “Converting that increased awareness of B.C.: that’s very much what we’re doing,” Nelson says.

Carol Nelson, director, marketing North America, Tourism British Columbia: converting Olympics-raised awareness into ongoing dollars

Screens in subways and airports in China interest travellers in B.C.

The ﬁrst step was renewing the “You Gotta Be Here” campaign that ran during the Olympics. Tourism BC took this $4-million campaign to cities as far away as San Francisco, complementing events with media spots and online promotions. This past winter, another largely online promotion highlighted the province’s ski 18

BIV Magazines

destinations to the key markets of California, Washington State, Alberta and Ontario as well as within B.C. Traditional advertising, including billboards and print ads, drove traﬃc to www.hellobc.com, where special oﬀers from the province’s 13 destination ski resorts appeared. The campaign resulted in more than 118,000 visits to the page, with

about 25 per cent of visitors clicking to a resort’s offer. This program carried a price tag of $1.4 million. The latest initiative in her roster, Nelson says, is an ambitious campaign targeting China, where Canada is now an approved destination, meaning that Chinese nationals have greater freedom to visit B.C. Anchored by a 100-page feature in World Traveller Magazine and eight 25-minute television episodes about the province on the Discovery Channel, the campaign is backed up with airport and subway ads that Nelson says could reach upwards of 200 million persons. The common elements to the campaigns are online components that mesh with how consumers research and plan travel. While the promotion uses traditional media in China, in North America upwards of 80 per cent of marketing efforts are on line. “Increasingly, consumers are planning and booking their travel on line, and increasingly our advertising is on line,” Nelson says. “It’s tremendously costeffective and very targeted.” By using contact lists from promotions such as “You Gotta Be Here,” Tourism BC also helps keep the province top of mind with potential travellers. Yet with exchange rates slowing visits from the United States, will travellers come? It’s an important question, given that B.C. announced in February 2007 the aim of doubling tourism revenues by 2015. When asked about progress toward the goal, the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation (which includes Tourism BC) noted in a backgrounder provided to Adpages that governmental dollars for tourism marketing and industry development have more than doubled from less than $24 million in 2001 to $52 million today. According to the backgrounder, future marketing plans will be implemented by a “market-driven regime” delivered by a partnership of “successful commercial players, non-profit and community based tourist organizations.” Ą Top photo: Dominic Schaefer Photography

messes and messages When a crisis threatens your brand, you have only minutes to communicate the right things By Alyn Edwards

our workers are falling ill, and the union has called the media. A food-poisoning outbreak points directly at your restaurant. Someone has called your customers saying your product has been tampered with and is now dangerous or poisonous. An employee faces criminal charges for work-related or on-duty activities. Calls start flooding in from reporters; camera crews arrive at your doorstep. You must make the best decision fast, do all the right things and communicate accurately and effectively. Are you ready? No question: the best time to prepare for a crisis is well in advance of one. Start with an up-to-date, workable crisis-communications plan. I say workable because most such plans aren’t. Many weigh five pounds with more pages than a city directory. Those are really training manuals; they don’t work as plans. Yours should be just a few pages starting with your organization’s communications policy, names and contact information for your crisis-management team and a stepby-step to-do list for communications. Tabbed appendices should give examples of the types of crises you could experience, with specific steps to be taken for each. Include samples of communications materials you might need, with templates that can be quickly updated and customized for specific circumstances. There should be examples of holding statements that spokespeople can use as first responses while information is gathered and crisis communications are developed. For instance: Ą “We have just been notified of this occurrence. We are gathering facts and co-operating with authorities. More information will be given as it becomes available.” Ą “What we can say now is that we operate under the strictest health standards and

are in full compliance with all health and WorkSafeBC regulations. The health and safety of our employees, our customers and the general public are our number-1 concerns. We are co-operating with investigators, and all products are being removed from consumer availability until they have been ruled safe.”

Example 1 1. “Our concern and sympathies go out to the workers and their families.” 2. “The health and safety of our workers, the community, our customers and the public are our number-1 concerns.” 3. “The job site will remain closed as we work with the authorities to determine the cause, and no one will return to work until it is safe to do so.”

Example 2 1. “This is what we know now concerning what has happened.” 2. “Here is what we are doing to remedy the situation.” 3. “We will take the following steps to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.” Media training is essential to eﬀective communications. Incorrect information, weak messages or the appearance of not taking a situation seriously can devastate your company’s reputation, products and services. Sometimes the cash register can stop ringing altogether if customers boycott a company that has lost its good reputation. In extreme circumstances, this can mean the end of a product, the ability to deliver a service or the company altogether. With your plan and media training already in place when a crisis hits, you’ll need to develop a fact sheet about the situation at hand. Prepare it in point form on one page. Outline 10 known facts about the crisis. Keep them bulletproof and irrefutable: just the facts. Then use the fact sheet to develop three key messages, the essential communications that state your company’s position.

You may be proactive with the media by holding a news conference to deliver the facts and key messages or by sending out a news release based on the fact sheet and key messages. Or you can send out a news release in reaction to media inquiries. As a crisis-communications manager and media trainer, I can tell you how diﬃcult it is to help a company in crisis when it has no trained spokespeople, designated crisis communications team or current, workable plan. With social media instantly carrying messages and more news outlets in existence than ever before, forethought and preparation go a long way in protecting brands and reputations.

By Curt Cherewayko hen Twitter decided to launch paid advertisements in its conversation streams last year, it turned to Vancouver’s HootSuite Media, Inc. for help. HootSuite was the ﬁrst third-party application to syndicate Twitter ads, a recognition of just how popular HootSuite had become with people and businesses requiring a more robust product to schedule, manage and monitor their Twitter-based brands and personae. Paid advertisements, or promoted tweets, constitute Twitter’s key commercialization play. As such, they were a hot topic when launched through Twitter’s

own site in April 2010 and then through HootSuite in October 2010. Experimenting with new ways of monetizing your web product after consumers have enjoyed years of ad-free or subscription-free service can be disruptive. HootSuite had to respond to various levels of criticism from some users for hosting promoted tweets. “We had some people saying this [was] the downfall of Rome,” recalls Ryan Holmes, HootSuite’s president. He likens the negative reaction from some users to the initial response to Google’s launch of its AdSense product, which bloggers can use to receive shares of revenue from ads on their websites. “A lot of people said that it would be the end of blogging,” says Holmes of AdSense. “Ultimately, it provides a great way for websites to earn money. It created a whole new economy and a ton more blogging content.” Holmes says the keys to getting web users to accept your new product are responding to negative feedback head-on and continually reﬁning your product to speak to people. For example, one of the criticisms that HootSuite received was that the ads appearing in users’ Twitter streams didn’t resonate with or have relevance to them. Users of HootSuite’s premium, paid versions can choose not to receive promoted tweets. The fact that the percentage of HootSuite’s paid customers opting out of the ads is negligible signals to Holmes that Twitter serves relevant ads that users value. “Its algorithm is getting pretty sophisticated,” says Holmes. “It’s targeting the right content at the right people.” HootSuite receives a share of revenue

Thomas Stringham, president and creative director, Hot Tomali Communications: maintain a dialoque rather than pitch products

from the promoted tweets it syndicates, and Holmes notes that the vast majority of feedback about promoted tweets was positive, so he is eager to keep HootSuite involved with the initiative. HootSuite is four months into its own commercialization program. In a so-called “freemium” subscription model, the company has begun offering two paid, premium versions of its Twitter client in addition to its original free version. Roughly three per cent of HootSuite’s users are paid subscribers. With positive cash flow, more than 1.5 million users and 75 Fortune 100 brands among its paying subscribers, HootSuite is in the top five Twitter applications. “There [haven’t] been a lot of products that have done this migration from free to pay and done it in a way that doesn’t alienate their loyal fans,” says Holmes.

HootSuite has also incorporated Facebook and LinkedIn to become more of a social-media dashboard than a Twitter client. “Our big goal was to add more functionality in the paid product, as opposed to taking away things that our free users were used to,” says Holmes. “And we were always transparent about the fact that at some point we were going to head toward this paid model.” Thomas Stringham, president and creative director of Vancouver’s Hot Tomali Communications Inc. observes that “these platforms cost a lot of money to develop and maintain” and that “the owners of those platforms have a right to generate some kind of revenue from them.” Yet he adds that Twitter has to keep in mind its free ecosystem when positioning its promoted tweets. “Twitter is successful because people can get in there easily and because there is so much information,” he says. “If Twitter started becoming fully a paid service, I think it would just dry up.” Twitter hasn’t made its promoted tweets fully available to all businesses yet, and few Canadian companies are advertising through the beta program. Stringham notes, however, that blatant promotion can work through Twitter, where marketers tend to use a more conversational tone or maintain ongoing dialogue with customers rather than pitching products. Stringham’s clients promote contests and other calls to action. He says it’s not so much about whether the tweet is paid for or not as it is about the oﬀering or the message contained within the tweet: “If the promotion you’re oﬀering is enticing enough, people will act on it.” Ą

This is a comprehensive directory of services related to advertising and marketing industries in Vancouver and surrounding regions. Listings are arranged by industry category.

HOW COMPANIES GET LISTED IN THE ADPAGES DIRECTORY The Adpages directory is a comprehensive guide to Vancouver’s media and advertising industry, and BIV Magazines aims to provide users with the most up-to-date information available at press time. Collecting and presenting the data in an eﬀective and user-friendly format in the following pages is a year-long process, involving a series of fax broadcasts, database

searches and telephone veriﬁcations. In all, we make at least three attempts to verify the information. If we do not receive written or verbal confirmation that the data about a company is correct, we have no choice but to delete that company from the database. Due to space limitations, unfortunately we are not able to guarantee inclusion of free

listings. If your company is not listed in the directory of the advertising industry, and the services that you provide ﬁt into one of the categories listed in the index, then you have an opportunity to guarantee your listing in the next edition. Simply call or e-mail Katherine Butler (604-688-2398, kbutler@biv.com). The information will be veriﬁed again before the 2012 edition goes to press next June. BIV Magazines ADPAGES/2011

Here are 3 steps to successful direct mail Direct mail puts proďŹ ts in your pocket. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the secret weapon that puts you in front of your customer and ahead of your competitor. Knowing how to use it is the key to your success. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really a black art and the formula is fairly simple. Direct mail, done properly, can be both easy and proďŹ table.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in business any length of time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll already have a customer list. These are the people you want to talk to ďŹ rst. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that 80% of your business comes from 20% of your customers. You know who they are, what they buy and what they are willing to pay. Talk to them.

He maintained the root of the problem is that Swede Creek is overflowing on the east side of Pinko Road, where he lives, because the creek bed on the west side of the road is not accepting any water. — See WATER on page 4

Fire investigators were unable to determine a cause of the blaze that killed two men this week at the College Heights Trailer Park. “The intense heat of the fire destroyed much of the physical evidence required for conclusive establishment of the fire cause; the fire cause is therefore undetermined,” said John Lane, the chiefdesignate of Prince George Fire Rescue Service. “The investigators were able to determine that the fire originated in the kitchen area of the trailer.” The fire department heard of

the blaze at about 4 a.m. Tuesday morning and, by the time they arrived, the trailer was engulfed in flames.

The intense heat of the fire destroyed much of the physical evidence. — John Lane The mobile home next door suffered heat damage but fire crews were able to spare that building

from burning. Firefighters were told that two people were likely inside at the time of the fire and a search for them began as soon as the flames could be knocked down and the heat of the incident cooled. Even so, the fire sparked back to life a number of times in isolated spots as that investigation went on. “There was no evidence of any smoke detectors present in the debris,” said Lane. There is still another element of the investigation underway and that is under the purview of the B.C. Coroner’s Service. — See AUTOPSIES on page 4

Some environmentalists had objected to Enbridge as a sponsor of the municipal convention. The company was among more than a dozen sponsors of the threeday convention, which included

Joy Thorkelson of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union noted that northern alliances have stopped three previous proposals to bring oil development to B.C.’s North Coast, and told the crowd that they would

win against Enbridge too. Critics of the 1,170-kilometre pipeline are opposed to the project because of the risk of an oil spill on the pipeline or from tanker traffic on the coast. The pipeline is meant to open up new markets for crude in Asia from the Alberta oil sands. — See NOT ALL on page 4
