According to the WSJ, in May 2011 US consumer confidence fell to the lowest level since Nov. 2010. Although high-end retailers, gas stations, and uniquely branded retailers have seen that sales went up, most retailers still struggle with the increasing costs, price pressure, and the economic consequences of the down-turn. Today FiG is going to share with you some thoughts on how to overcome this difficult selling season, and our discussion will focus on the topic of creating (or re-creating) an effective loyalty program.

At the beginning of the year, Heineken introduced a new global brand campaign with a film titled "The Entrance" (created by W&K). In the film, Heineken demonstrated a mystique-filled and desirable gentleman by making the ultimate party entrance. The spot includes various people gathered in a large mansion--one that seems to be briefly put on hold when the gentleman walks in. Everyone wants to see him, and he has a splendid time with each very unique individual he comes across.
It seems like that this spring is an exciting business season. It is not surprising to see that Apple won the most valuable brand in the world since it introduced the iPad 2. Facebook continues to be the fastest growing company. Google started its "Groupon" business beta test and opened its online music service. And last week Microsoft purchased Skype to join the video chat game. With all the achievements and moves of the big tech companies, FiG sees a future that will call for great integration.
Fight to Win Promotions is a Colorado and Texas based Mixed Martial Arts fight promoter. They felt that they provided a top tier experience to a dedicated audience that would provide potential sponsors a significant advertising opportunity. Like many local and regional fight promoters they had some fan clothing vendors and the occasional bar sponsoring their events but felt they could do better.
For over 125 years, Coca-Cola has looked for innovative ways to refresh the world and deliver happiness. Although today the company offers a wide range of high-quality beverage options, they continue to rely on the strength and steady growth of the Coca-Cola brand, which is now worth $67 million. To maximize the love of the brand and brand value, Coca-Cola invests heavily in effective marketing that engages consumers with the Coca-Cola brand and the company.
Most of us have grown up with Google over the last decade. For a long time, Google has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies on the planet. Much of its growth has been organic, but recently this search giant seems to have had challenges to decide what to do next. Although the company has stretched its businesses across the web, from online search, email, social networking, web-based apps, and smart phone development, Google's revenue is still heavily dependent on search-related advertising.
When times are tough and people are anxious there are several ways that those people can be influenced. The country has certainly been going through a down turn in terms of economics and prosperity and people are feeling it. Some want to turn that anxiety into fear and blind rage to take advantage of others for their own ends. Others however want to channel that energy in a positive direction.
