Case Study
New Product Launch – Mallory Sonalert
Having trouble positioning your products against low-cost, off-shore competitors? Sometimes success takes finding niche markets and acting on your value proposition.
Challenge
New markets/applications needed to be investigated and pursued for Mallory’s audible signal devices – applications that would benefit from a robust product design that offered more diverse signaling capabilities than offshore competition, including custom tones and custom mounting/termination configurations.
Solution
Based upon new market research, a full marcom plan was developed, specifically targeting municipalities (for traffic signal use – with a chirping go/no-go signaling capability for blind people at a crosswalk) and as an alarm for industrial equipment and devices where the product’s higher decibel range and its ability to perform under adverse conditions such as temperature extremes and humidity made it particularly applicable for the environment. The plan included ads that specifically targeted these markets; high quality collateral, including market-related brochures and a product catalog with comprehensive performance data; and press releases and feature articles that targeted both the design books and the chosen markets.
