There are two options to getting an internet project off the ground. In the first case, you invest the majority of your funds into SEO and will soon start to see a sustainable increase in target visitors, coming from organic search. In the second case, the majority of funds are allocated to online advertising, which leads to a spike in site visits, while you campaign is active. The most effective online ads are contextual links, which are displayed to users in search engines when they type in a particular request.

Both approaches can also be combined. However, it needs to be understood that the SEO budget should be fairly sizeable, in so far as this approach requires the input of a large number of specialists.

The ability to stay ahead of the curve and continuously update the product range form the basis of the business’s competitiveness. This requirement is conditioned by the product life cycle, which just like changing consumer requirements, should be monitored. New products may vary in terms of make-up and manufacturing:

  • a revolutionary new product
  • new product for the manufacturer
  • improved product for the next generation
  • rebranding of an existing product

The development process and introducing a new product onto the Russian market poses a unique set of challenges:

  • tighter deadlines
  • based on western models (often a copy of them)
  • mass import substitution
  • priority consumer product in the design phase

Our specialists tailor the design and market launch of a new product taking into account all the aforementioned factors, examining all the separate phases in the design stage and coming up with a tailored market launch strategy. A tried-and-tested approach to developing new products ensures the elimination of all risks before a product launches on the market and avoids any excess spending on evaluating new design concepts at different stages of development.

On the one hand, this involves increasing distribution volume and promoting the brand are the primary objectives of an advertising strategy. And on the other, it’s about making effective use of financial resources on promotional activity.
 The advertising strategy describes how a company is going to meet its pre-defined goals and what effect it will have on the consumer.

There are two principle methods for strategic advertising management:

  • Market approach, whereby promotional activities are determined by the sales markets, with a particular focus placed on positioning of goods in relation to those of competitors.
  • Marketing approach, whereby product distribution is dictated by advertiser market behaviour, which in turn reflects marketing and advertising strategies under which the company operates. Based on this approach, the product and advertising it become the two most important facets of a company’s marketing activity.

The following factors should be taken into account before choosing a marketing strategy:

  • the specific product category and the product itself
  • opportunities for highlighting the product and its key features to consumers
  • competitor promotional activity
  • target audience mood
  • promotional messaging strategy
  • choice of channels for promotional activity

NSA specialists are on hand to help you formulate an effective promotional strategy in line with your budget, excluding any advertising media in which a competitor holds a dominant position. Instead, we look at media in which your company can occupy a leading position.
