Transforming Marketing From A Cost Center To A Profit Center

Situation
Distributors can turn their cost centers into profit centers by selling value-added services and making money in the process. This strategy can help them achieve increased profits and greater efficiency, allowing them to grow their business and increase their market share. By offering value-added services, distributors can provide their customers with more options, higher quality products and better customer service, enabling them to stay ahead of their competition.


Challenge
Results
As a result of the initiative, we have seen a dramatic increase in our return on marketing spend from (-)$2 to a positive $7.5 per dollar invested. Last year we saw a 27% increase in total revenue and a 9 point improvement in margin. These results demonstrate the success of our efforts and the benefits of investing in our marketing initiatives.
