Field
Marketing is the provision of field-based personnel on behalf of clients.
Activities are outsourced by Clients to
the Fieldmarketing company and the staff are recruited
trained and managed by the Fieldmarketing company.
Field Marketing delivers results and ensures
brand development in terms of accountability, visibility,
availability and sales.
Fieldmarketing is a term used in the industry
to describe the function of providing outsourced sales &
operational support services with
highly
skilled and trained people to conduct either strategic
(long-term) or tactical (short-term) exercises.
Companies who require these services are those that usually
find themselves lacking in field based resources when
business demands increase or change such as:-
-
promotional periods
-
new product launches
-
new listing with major retailer
-
product recalls
-
re-branding of branch network
-
placing large amounts of Point of Sale

Contract
Services
operate with clients on a semi-permanent basis and will most
likely be for a longer term period i.e. a one year contract
Tactical
Services are used where a client requires short-term
additional resources and seasonal or promotional support.
Syndicated Services
typically provides a shared team across a number of clients
and is designed to give efficiencies to companies that do
not have the resources to cover their customer base
consistently.

model suits the decision to contract out the provision of a
fully outsourced team of field based operatives to a Fieldmarketing company such as Xcelerate Fieldmarketing.
