Marketing solutions for every occasion - smart campaigns that stick
Every organisation has moments when communication is extra important. Think of acquiring new customers or employees, welcoming new colleagues, introducing a product or celebrating an anniversary. On these occasions in particular, you want your message not only to be seen, but also to really get through. With targeted and tangible marketing solutions, you ensure attention, involvement and action at the right time.
Practical questions on responding to occasions
With the questions below, we will help you on your way to smart and appropriate occasions. You will see which moments are interesting, how to determine the timing and how to make an occasion concrete for your target group. This will help you choose what suits your situation faster and prevent the moment from feeling too general or forced.
Which occasions are interesting to do something with?
Many organisations immediately think of Christmas or an anniversary, but there are many more moments that feel logical. Think about onboarding new colleagues, direct mail For an event, training announcement, product launch, a gift voucher after a collaboration or an action for customer acquisition or staff recruitment. It helps to look at moments when someone starts something new, completes something or has to choose something. These are the occasions that automatically raise questions and where contact does not feel "just like that".
Where do you start if you don't yet have an overview of your occasions?
Start with a short list of recurring moments within your organisation. For example: influx of new employees, quarterly updates, events, customer actions, internal training sessions, anniversaries and holidays. Then choose one occasion to put down well first. Once that basis is in place, it becomes much easier to add the next occasion without having to start all over again.
How do you know if an opportunity is "big enough" to do something with it?
An occasion does not have to be big to be valuable. The key question is: is there a clear occasion and does it benefit the recipient? A small occasion, such as a new packaging or a training course, can be effective precisely because the moment is concrete. If you can logically explain in one sentence why you are contacting, the opportunity is usually appropriate.
What is a logical time to send around an occasion?
This varies by type of moment, but there is almost always a natural place in the timeline. You send an invitation well enough to plan, but not so early that it disappears. An onboarding moment you want to have happen close to the start date, so it really feels like welcome. An anniversary or thank-you moment is best done right on time, because sending it too late reduces the value. For product launches, it works well around the launch so that curiosity and action come together.
What should be at least in a message around an occasion?
Three parts are almost always enough: why you are contacting now, what you want to convey and what the next step is. This can be very small, such as a QR code, a short action or a simple invitation to respond. Without a follow-up step, it often remains "nice" but little happens.
How do you make an opportunity concrete when you have different audiences?
For each occasion, choose one main group and work out a variant for it. An anniversary for employees is different from an anniversary towards customers. A training for internal colleagues requires different information than a training for partners. By making small variations for each target group, it feels like it is really meant for everyone, without having to re-invent everything.
