For
winning new initiatives, all the parts have to work together
Marketers know that creating a winning new initiative
involves far more than just having good concept purchase
interest. To maximize the odds for success, it’s important
to understand how different factors like branding, intended
benefits, packaging, and product delivery will work together
for a new product launch, and tailor the marketing execution
to deliver on consumer potential.
What are
the key factors for success?
At BASES, we
have been able to identify five key factors
upon which winning
new products excel.
Collectively, these factors represent a model of the
consumer adoption process for a new product.
-
Being
salient, or
“standing out” with consumers
-
Communicating a
clear message
-
Generating consumer attraction via a relevant benefit
-
Converting attraction
at the point of purchase
-
Delivering an enduring
product

BASES introSCAPE captures the key success factors
Understanding these factors and their roles for new product
launches led us to build a formal model for the consumer
adoption process called BASES introSCAPE. This represents a
consulting framework that guides BASES advice to our clients
throughout the new product development process. Using the
introSCAPE framework helps marketers to understand and
improve all elements of the mix (positioning, product,
package, pricing, etc.), via powerful diagnostic consumer
measures and consulting prior to launch. The framework
also helps guide BASES consulting on the marketing
execution, and how various marketing tactics can be employed
to build on the strengths or compensate for the
vulnerabilities of any new product.
BASES introSCAPE is geared toward actionable advice that
brand managers can use to grow the potential for a
successful launch.
Since it's built on the consumer adoption process, the
consultation using the introSCAPE framework is both highly
relevant and actionable. And you can benefit from introSCAPE
learning at multiple stages of the new product development
process via a concept assessment from an experienced BASES
consultant or a complete analysis of consumer attitudes
included in BASES I or II. |
