DISTRIBUTORS ARE EXPRESSING THEIR FRUSTRATION… PROMOEQP IS ACTIVE IN OUR REACTION.

Let's start this out with an absolute statement: PromoEQP does NOT sell — or in any way monetize — our subscribing distributor list… Full stop.

This statement is made because a recent uptick in Supplier-based email marketing has sparked frustration amongst the PromoEQP distributors. In this frustration, there have been assumptions of PromoEQP actively profiting off of the commerce of distributor data just as “everyone else does”.

How do the Wrigley ticket credits work?

People Got Questions About How the Wrigley Rooftop Ticket Crediting Works…

PROMOEQP HAS PLANNED A REALLY COOL EVENT… AND IF YOU WANT TO BE THERE, THEN PROMOEQP WANTS YOU THERE.

The problem is, that Rooftop DOES NOT have unlimited space. This means we need to use the purchased ticket to ensure that you have secured your place at the event. Regardless, this isn’t about a dollar grab for PromoEQP. This is about creating an event that everyone can enjoy and attend. HENCE, the crediting of the ticket cost BACK to your PromoEQP Subscription.
 

How much is PromoEQP crediting?
Who does the credit apply to?
Who does the credit NOT apply to?

STILL… THE CHALLENGE OF CREATING AN EVENT THAT MATCHES WITH A CORPORATE IDENTITY AND PERSONALITY IS HARD.

  Truth is, PromoEQP wasn’t built to be a “tabletop show” company any more than it was designed to cater to some elite style EME resort invitational. Candidly, it is my opinion that each of those types of events are divisive to a program. In their own way they seek to divide and define a distributor’s value to the exclusive benefit of a supplier — and dividing distributors is NOT what PromoEQP does.

Pacesetter ImprintPlus Q2 for PromoEQP First Quarter of 2024 was all about setting the table for what PromoEQP must be doing to better meet the needs of the distributors we serve. This meant being willing to acknowledge our shortcomings, see our weaknesses, and choose to address it all with appropriate actions. Thus far, while the steps have been incremental, they have non-the-less been impactful.

PromoEQP Update PromoEQP's EXPO Recap The introduction of the DAC (Distributor Advisory Council) was the initiative for PromoEQP this year. Given that a distributor driven program often doesn’t exist within other entities in the industry, it was always known to be a work-in-progress. The time in Las Vegas confirmed both the need to continue developing the DAC itself – and the value of having the DAC as a program resource.

SHORT STORY, BIG PICTURE:

Content is more than Product Copy

Last month I talked about the need to be on social media. I laid out some tips on creating a consistent content strategy. One of the questions I got asked a lot was, “What is content? How do I know my customer will see it?” This month I offer three (3) tips to creating content.
