4 Ways to Develop An Effective Collaborative Marketing Strategy

Brands often enter partnerships to widen their market, boost their sales and increase brand trust. GoGi House and Coca-Cola gave us a great sample of how a collaborative marketing strategy could hit all those markers and have satisfied consumers. Find out more with us!

A restaurant serving Korean favourites and delicacies in Vietnam, GoGi House entered a collaborative marketing strategy with everyone’s chosen beverage, Coca-Cola. This collaborative marketing strategy is communicated to consumers even before they enter the restaurant.

Consumers can win Vinfast electrical scooter, iPhone 14 pro max, a year to enjoy GoGi House dishes for free, and branded tote bags! To further add to the excitement, they can get a chance to win these amazing prizes simply by ordering the combo meal of GoGi House and Coca-Cola!

4 Ways to Develop An Effective Collaborative Marketing Strategy

As mentioned above, these brands’ collaborative marketing strategy made them a hit to consumers. So, here’s everything we learned from this campaign to apply for your own promotions!

1. Make the collaboration effortless.

GoGi House is a Korean restaurant while Coca-Cola is a beverage. Thus, when consumers come across this promotion, it’s easy for them to buy into it and avail of it altogether since eating is always accompanied by drinks.

A collaboration marketing strategy like this puts no burden on consumers but will add value to their meals as they can also win exciting prizes. To consumers, it’s a deal with no reason to pass on.

2. Incentivize consumers.

Brand collaboration might not affect nor excite consumers if it does not add value to their experience. Hence, popular marketing campaigns make use of co-branded merchandise which communicates a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity they couldn’t miss.

Another perfect example is branded giveaways through redemption programs or lucky draws like this GoGi and Coca-Cola collaboration. It adds value to people’s purchases and makes it easy for them to take any extra step of joining.

3. Keep the mechanics easy.

Any promotion will be ignored if consumers find the mechanics too difficult to do and understand. So, it’s imperative that brands keep their draws or redemption mechanics easy.

This collaborative marketing strategy of Coca-Cola and GoGi did not put any strain on consumers since they only have to avail of the combo meal, and then they’ll have the chance to win exciting prizes.

4. Use appropriate marketing tools.

For every marketing campaign, there is a best way to ensure your target market would know about your promos.

In this example, the restaurant used a branded banner placed right outside the establishment so people would instantly know about the promo even before they go inside or for the staff to inform them about the promo.
