kluge

Proper marketing does not consist of picking a few items off of a menu. If a business wants real return on their marketing efforts the entire branding process must be able to connect ALL the dots.

During a recent excursion to a candy store in Savannah, Georgia we were captivated by the process of making taffy and packaging it for immediate purchase (and we felt compelled to capture it with our Sony A7S). This store did it right. Of course Taffy can be made and wrapped in a back room but that’s not engaging. They do it right. In addition to the delicious aromas flowing out of the open doors was a taffy kluge. The process was fascinating and engaging and it makes you want to buy some taffy because you were involved in the process.

The other element of the process that stood out is how it is methodically connected. If just one piece was missing or out of line, all the candy would fall to the floor and not reach it’s final destination of consumption. This goes for all effective marketing. The brand communication and promotion must be connected to get to the end result. And when it does, it’s so delicious. #BESEEN
