Friday, April 17 - Limit 12 people per forum.

Join your fellow GSMAers for a one hour open forum to discuss what you and they are working on that can prepare you for Re-entry.  Topics will include both Sales/Marketing and Operations:

Sales/Marketing

• What will your new message be for May, June, July and beyond? Will it change as the year progresses?
• Product Planning – changes to your current marketing message, change to your product mix. 
• How much new product do you need versus re-marketing existing product?
• Target market shift – where your product is sold might shift, are you prepared?
• Traditional sales tools – catalogs, mailers, advertising, email, promotions. What will be most effective?  What do you need more of? What do you need less of?
• What are your major retailers saying about their plans for the remainder of 2020?

Operations

• Can your suppliers produce?
• Resources needed to ramp back up.
• People - did you lose personnel?
• Product flow
• Technology
• Credit concerns –
• Crafting messages and offering options for slow pay/past due accounts
• Creating meaningful promotions that work for the company and retailer.
