How to Reach the Buyers

Buyers of this product are, for the most part, those who are preparing for enterprise emergencies or brand emergencies. Once the incident has begun, this product is still of some use, but it will be very difficult to get the attention of the buyers, because they're preoccupied with the incident. Market this item to buyers either:

• Prior to any incident, or
• Following an incident that the organization might not have handled well, or
• During and after an incident involving another organization similar to theirs

Other buyers include those not directly involved with enterprise emergency management, such as journalists, investigators and trainers. You can market to them at any time, but they'll be most iterested either during or after a major incident that occupies a significant slice of public attention.

Buyers residing within the enterprise are motivated by some or all of the following concerns:

• They want to be able to demonstrate, post-incident, that they provided the organization with the best resources to prepare them for emergency management
• They want to ensure that the performance of the emergency management team is everything it could be, in the event of some future incident
• They want to prepare for a specific kind of incident, perhaps one similar to an incident lately in the news involving a competitor or a similar organization
• They're being reviewed by a process standards organization, and they want to ensure that they will obtain the certification they seek
• They've been told by an insurer that their emergency management plan needs upgrading and they are looking for resources for ideas and utilities to include in the revamped plan
• They've learned that a competitor organization is more sophisticated about enterprise emergency management, and they want to meet the competition, to use the new capability as a marketing tool
