Teaching Manufacturers How to Fish

As the well-known saying goes, “train a producer how to fish with e-commerce, and that producer will dominate their market.” Well, it’s one thing like that.

After conducting dozens of e-commerce webinars across the county, with quite a few Manufacturing Extension Partnerships (MEPs) this previous yr, I found a evident hole with producers.

In explicit, it’s the uphill battle that producers face whereas trying to make the digital transformation with e-commerce. 

To seize a slice of the exploding e-commerce market, entrepreneurs and producers sometimes have two choices: 

1. Do the work themselves (DIY) whereas hoping to determine it out as they go alongside and observing an enormous studying curve. 
2. Hire a advertising agency to do the work for them (DFY). 

Unfortunately, many producers fall right into a lure by outsourcing advertising providers to a agency that lacks a transparent understanding of the corporate’s enterprise mannequin and promoting course of. 

Therefore, quite a lot of time, power and assets are wasted due to misaligned objectives. As a consequence, each events turn into annoyed, main to a failed marriage. 

In one case, following a webinar at an MEP within the Midwest, a producer reached out to share his frustration relating to the advertising agency managing his firm’s Google Ads marketing campaign. 

The producer spent $4,000 monthly with this advertising company to handle their pay-per-click (PPC) advertisements. The outcomes? Zero gross sales with out even a single lead.

After conducting an audit on the Google Ads account, it was rapidly found that the marketing campaign was loaded with key phrases that had no relevance to the corporate in any way. Thus, the complete effort was a colossal waste of money and time for the producer. 

While working with a number of MEPs to fight this problem for producers, an alternate possibility offered itself: Team with a seasoned and trusted information to enter the world of e-commerce efficiently. Lo and behold, the Do It With You (DWY) e-commerce coaching idea was born to assist producers stop these monetary blunders.
