What Do You Have to Offer a Potential Joint Venture Partner?

What are your fields of expertise? What business process have you mastered? Have you developed a new and useful product? When you form a joint venture, you need to bring your strengths to the table and find a way to leverage those strengths with your joint venture partner to benefit both parties.

A joint venture can result in changes to your own business, or require you to build on the resources you already have in place to make the venture a success. However, it’s important to have a strong strategy and know where your strengths can best be utilized before taking on such a partnership.

Disney Breaks into Russia through Joint Ventures

Want to break into new markets? Here’s an example where the Walt Disney Company utilized its marketing strengths to form a joint venture with Media-One Holdings Limited. Media-One is a major broadcaster in Russia who owns and operates over 30 televisions stations throughout the country. Disney proposed a joint venture with Media-One to launch a Disney-branded television channel to be broadcasted in Russia.

Disney offered to use marketing, content support, and programming to design a family-oriented channel. Disney would also provide cash and acquisition support for a 49% stake in the venture. Media-One would hold a majority stake and receive the benefit of Disney’s name brand and media experience.

As a result, Media-One’s knowledge and operational experience in Russia, broadcast station portfolio, and advertising sales expertise created a unique family entertainment channel that plans to launch in 2009 with great success.

The goal of this joint venture was to become the most popular free television channel to kids and families in Russia, and create a large and profitable revenue stream from advertising sales. The strength of Disney’s brand name and outstanding programming capabilities are sure to make it a success.

Mom and Pop Stores to Disney Conglomerates: Joint Ventures Work

Your combined strengths in a joint venture can very well increase your productivity, help your business grow faster, and produce greater revenue. Choosing the right partner can be the key to the success of the venture. In the above example, Disney chose the Russian television-broadcasting leader to ensure that the proposed channel would reach the biggest markets. That doesn’t mean you try to form joint ventures with only Fortune 500 companies. However, you should take a look at the success of your potential partner.

A JV partner should compliment your strengths as well. Do both of you reach completely different markets?  Does each of your products or services fit well together? Your best chance at a successful joint venture is one where both parties can offer something to the other resulting in financial rewards for all.

Joint ventures aren’t a way for one party to depend on the other to do the work. Make sure you are willing to share your expertise and time, and ensure that your potential partner is willing to do the same. With combined strengths, your joint venture equation could most certainly be 1 + 1 = greater than 2.

10 Steps to Building Trust in Your Business Relationships

Strategic Marketing: Customers and Competition

To begin an effective strategic marketing strategy, it’s imperative to know your customer, as well as your competition. Knowing what your target audience is, and who your target customer is, will be the first step towards developing a successful marketing strategy. Once you have identified your audience, you can begin to tailor your strategy to include your collaborative marketing efforts.

Who is your customer?

Start by making a series of imaginary profiles of your potential clients and customers, asking specific questions such as:

• What is the age range of my potential clients?
• What is their income range?
• What are their lifestyles and hobbies?

Depending on the product you are marketing, your phantom client profile will vary. The motivation here is to think of the customer as an individual, rather than as an amorphous group of unknown clients. Once you identify a potential client profile, it will be a more natural process to tailor a marketing scheme.

An effective marketing plan begins with thinking specifically in terms of whom your market is, and who you are trying to entice to use your products and services. An advertisement, email or website display will vary greatly depending on whether you are targeting college age, financially conservative students, middle income families, or single, young professionals. However, a cohesive, well thought out series of advertisements is more likely to appeal to a diverse variety of clients rather than an assortment of ads tailored to reach a specific audiences. Your product or service may very well be suitable for a variety of clients, but is less likely to sell to a varied consumer base with too many individual marketing strategies.

Don’t reinvent the wheel

Knowledge of your competitors’ marketing scheme and how they market their products is almost as important as being able to identify your prospective clients. There’s a lot to be learned from studying a competitor, especially if they are a well-established business with a solid marketing strategy.

Build upon what has proven successful

If you know of a business in your industry that has catchy marketing ads, it’s a good idea to understand what they’ve done to be successful. This is important for two reasons: you don’t want to exactly replicate another marketing strategy, and you want your advertisements to stand apart from what is already being produced. This will help you to develop and tailor your marketing scheme to your target audience, in a way that is different from your competition and get you noticed!

Awareness of how similar businesses in your industry approach marketing will help you develop the edge you need to target your own clients. Intimate knowledge of which these prospective clients are will set you in the right direction for developing a successful marketing strategy that is unique and specific to your business. Knowing your target market, and how others target the market in your industry, will put your business on a successful path for growth and recognition. Based upon this knowledge, you can even choose a synergistic competitor and create a collaboration marketing campaign.
