Brand Ambassadors

Bringing your brands and products to life with shoppers and retailers.

We design bespoke strategies and create in-store experiences that provide consumers with the motivation to buy at the point of purchase.

Research shows that consumers are 70% more likely to buy a product if they are able to experience it first. Online shopping cannot replace the experience of placing a product in consumers’ hands. Consumers go into stores to touch, smell, interact and sometimes taste products before they buy them.

CROSSMARK works with brands to differentiate their products in-store, creating a brand and product experience for consumers through experiential branding, sales assist programs, brand ambassadors and expert training programs.

A brand ambassador is a branded representative who promotes a specific brand and its related products in a positive way to others with whom they come into contact. This can be through many activities - building instore relationships, driving retail staff brand advocacy & training, a unique experiential activation, or direct customer sales on the shop floor.

Brand ambassadors is a bigger term that can include roles called brand advocates, event promoters, sales demonstrators, assisted sales staff, brand trainers, brand reps, and many more names! At the end of the day it’s a branded representative driving these retail objectives to grow your business.

Brand ambassadors are effectively your arms & legs in retail to drive your strategies and objectives. Without them your product may just live on the shelf in the hopes someone walks in already convinced through other marketing channels or the packaging. Depending on your categories and channels the role of the branded representation may vary.

For example a high-end consumer electronics product may require more retailer staff training to engage and communicate the differentiation of your brand and products. For an experiential product such as a coffee machine - live product demonstrations would be critical to the sales process for a shopper to purchase.

It completely depends on your requirements, objectives, and ambitions. As part of developing a proposal, we do an entire analysis to provide our recommended team size, structure and everything else, which includes learning about these desires and a greater understanding of your business.

Many of our clients pull different levers of services and solutions at different times based on what they need to win in retail. This can involve having a base annual program, with some seasonal projects, as well as some ad-hoc services such as POS printing and distribution.

Often brand ambassador & experiential programs are dove-tailed merchandising and mystery shopping to drive specific objectives concurrently. As part of engaging with us, we map out these opportunities to provide a tailored solution that is efficient, effective, and flexible.
