Case Study
For More Than A Decade NSI Has Managed Anheuser-Busch's MarCom Web Site
By 1995 multiple departments within Anheuser-Busch were flooding wholesalers and sales and marketing teams with internal paper-based communications. A lack of organization or coordination of the materials meant field sales and wholesalers were wasting hours locating promotional information. Effective communication between various audiences was becoming increasingly challenging yet ever more important.
To answer these communication issues NSI was asked to support the development of ABMarketing.com. What began as a site with some print and outdoor advertisements and a few hundred banners now contains 100,000+ assets and content pages. More than 17,000+ unique users view over 660,000 pages each month, with an average visit length of 99 minutes.
A News Center communicates priorities and important deadline information keeping all users informed of the latest updates. Ordering capabilities allow users to request the latest point-of-sale, advertising and promotional items as soon as they become available. Support materials such as artwork and customizable signage can be downloaded instantly helping make Anheuser-Busch first to market while insuring brand integrity. Sales materials ensure users have everything they need to make the sale or gain more shelf space.
NSI manages the content across ABMarketing.com, keeping the information and materials fresh and up to date, and adding new applications to serve the ever evolving needs of Anheuser-Busch and its users.
This online portal of information is the one-stop shop for all sales and marketing communications providing information about priorities and quick and easy access to the tools and support needed to integrate Anheuser-Busch's messages effectively and efficiently at retail. It has eliminated duplication of efforts, saving time and increasing participation. Shipping and printing costs have also been reduced saving Anheuser-Busch millions of dollars every year.
