Alone in the field is not a warrior: current ideas of cross-promotion

In the current situation, few retailers can boast of having funds for advertising that can cheer up buyers and inspire them to buy. The logical conclusion seems to be the good old cross-promo. But is it "working" now?

According to Daria Nuclear, managing director of Esper Group, cross-promotion still works, the main thing is to choose the right partner.

And we plan to develop this direction, strengthening it with our partners in the brands Clarks, Strellson, Napapijri and others. This season we want to increase attention to the history of brands by combining them on a trip to key cities and countries of Soho brands. We reveal the stories and legends of our brands, involve our customers in this game, offering to feel the atmosphere and mood of the collections.

The project is especially effective when stores are present inside one shopping center, ”said Natalya Chernysheva, Advertising Manager and PR TMHF Group. - In the spring of 2015 at Soho, we also launch history together with friendly fashion publications. To be open to interaction, flexible, inclusive - in our opinion, this is a rule of work that is necessary not only in crisis mode, and we are glad that more and more partners are coming to this now. ”
