How TAG Works

Uncover the facts
There is often a disconnect between the values that brands think drive sales and what customers actually value. We will dig deep to uncover everything that customers actually value.

Find the opportunity
Once we thoroughly understand what the true value drivers are, we hunt for others that fit the profile. It must be a really good fit if we want to make the most of the opportunity.

Seize it
Now that we have the fit, its time to tailor the campaign and deliver it. We use compeling bait to lure out our intended culprits and capture them.

Drive Growth with Business Development
Business development Organic growth is achieved through a combination of markets and offerings for both product and service providers. For every combination, there are risks and rewards.

Diversification Strategy
The most challenging way to grow, often providing great opportunity for growth at a high level of risk. It’s essentially starting from scratch, hence requiring time to create awareness and generate demand. This strategy is best suited for innovative products .
Product Development Strategy
Ideal for recognized brands in specific markets, or strong relationships with large accounts. The value and reputation of existing offerings provides a strong competitive edge.
Market Development Strategy
Potentially a shorter path to generating growth, by penetrating deeper into existing markets. This approach generally offers greater cost efficiency than diversification and product development because it eleminates new product development time and expenses.
Market Penetration Strategy
The least risky growth strategy. It’s about doing more of what your business is already doing and doing it better. Selling more of your products and services into existing markets. Essentially requiring improved execution of core capabilities.
Highly Focused Programs for Accelerated Results

Acquisition
Traditional marketing is not measured by actual purchases, its measured on lead generation. We complete the mission, focusing on gaining the customer, not just closing the sale. We are not looking to gain a transaction, we want to build a connection and keep them coming back for more and send their friends over too.
Retention
Selling to an existing customer is quicker, easier and more profitable than gaining a new customer. We craft strategies specific to the offering and target market(s). Then we implement with proven tactics, improving returns and penetrating deeper into the customer base.
Referral
The greatest compliment a customer can give is a referral, we give them the reason to make the referral. We will work closely with your leadership team to create a customer experience that your customers will want to brag about. Then we utilize the best channels get the message out far and wide.
Capitalize on your Why Factor
Why did your existing customers choose your brand?
Why are customers loyal to your brand?
Why are your offerings appealing to a specific market segment, application, region, or other common factor(s)?
The why factor drives opportunities for growth. We make the most of those opportunities by identifying the why factor and targeting others that appreciate why.
