Planning Collaborative Marketing

You can use Siebel PRM's CHAMP planning screen to plan collaborative marketing projects. This screen lets you:

• Set specific marketing objectives, such as launching a 20% discount offer on a server product line in order to generate a 10% increase in revenue, or jointly hosting a conference about complementary products.
• Associate a detailed action plan with each objective, scheduling actions that you and your partner must take to meet the objective.
• Link each objective to a market development fund to indicate the source of funding for the marketing program. Partners will be able to link fund requests to the objectives, so they can receive credit for money spent executing the marketing program.

For example, the brand owner and partner may decide to host an event in order to promote their complementary products or services. They use the CHAMP planning screen to specify an action plan, which they both agree on. Following the action plan, the partner organizes the event. As the partner incurs expenses in organizing the event, it submits market development fund requests to receive credit against the fund.
