Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Marketing as well as Marketing Material & Services procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Buyers are moving towards longer contract durations and strategic partnerships with suppliers to benefit from value-based discounts, integrated services, low renewal cost and lesser expenses on contracting activities.

Marketing Material & Services Procurement Best Practices

Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. 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 Marketing Material & Services procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers should ensure that service providers use digital asset management tools for storing and retrieval of digital assets such as photographs, video graphs, music, animation content. Buyers can use these tools to increase their brands consistency and optimize their workflow.

Buyers should engage in long-term contracts with service providers to gain value additions and other benefits. Engaging in long-term contracts reduces the total cost of ownership, for buyers, for the service delivered.

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.
