Strategic Sourcing Guide to Digital Promotions Procurement

Overview

The market for Promotion and its sub-segments such as Digital Promotions are at an interesting intersection. In the broader industry, automated tools and advanced technology is making inroads and even replacing some of the non-core workforce of suppliers. As a result, overall cost structure of suppliers has become more favorable across the industry and buyers of Digital Promotions can expect to benefit from lower costs of suppliers once they break even with their investments in technology.

Rising cost of workforce possessing core skill sets is expected to offset some of the cost savings that suppliers are expecting through implementation of lean and technology-based operations.

An intense competition in the supply market owing to new entrants is expected to provide more procurement options to buyers for Digital Promotions and offer significant negotiation leverage.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Digital Promotions is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.

Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Digital Promotions procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers must ensure that service providers cater to their requirements by implementing centralization of content to maintain the project objective.

Buyers should engage with service providers that provide services through an hourly based pricing model. Within an hourly based pricing model, buyers would have a fair idea of the exact time required for the work done by service provider. Consequently, billing rates will be implemented accordingly.

Buyers should engage with service providers that can consolidate multiple marketing, advertising and communications disciplines such as SEO, SEM, social media management, and traditional advertising. Such consolidation increases cost savings, convenience, and facilitates supplier performance benchmarking.
