Theme Ventures may turn the sales marketing paradigm upside down. It has introduced a disruptive business model
which replaces inefficient payroll with outsourced sales functions. That’s new in India. But before long, it shall be
common practice. We had been experimenting with Theme Ventures various genres of outsourced distribution visual
merchandising, new retailer appointment, channel audit. Its been an outstanding experience. The fault lines in our
distribution system now appears prominent

The pay by performance model introduced by Theme Ventures for all its 15 odd services is a brave new effort.It must be
extremely challenging for Theme Ventures to protect its bottom lines through a highly variable revenue model of “Pay
by per unit of performance.’We have collaborated with it on outsourced channel distribution management,B2B
enquiry generation and consumer loyalty programs.The speed, precision and depth of management is outstanding.
Particularly rural marketing outreach is phenomenal

Outsourced marketing ? It was unknown for us till we outsourced marketing communication services with Theme
Ventures. Channel audit is an complicated aspect of distribution management. thas undertaken extensive sales audit
functions at the micro level scanning several thousand shops. They had created the architecture of shop profiling,
product availability according o verticals, competitor mapping, pricing and volume analytics.

To supplement our team of Enterprise sales,we outsourced B2B enquiry generation with Theme Ventures.The business model was appealing.The agency generated qualified leads for our frontliners complete with the meeting date & time with a specific enquiry.While Theme Ventures charged for each meeting set up our institutional sales managers were responsible for closing those meetings.In the process we reached out to host of builders and factories where we had no contacts earlier.

Nutrinda (Delhi)
We are an expanding FMCG brand in the spices segment.Theme Ventures is assisting us in channel distribution.We decided to outsource distribution for the reason that network expansion is lightening fast with high level of precision and store appointment costs are lower than payroll resources. Unfortunately outsourced distribution has no agencies in India yet.Theme Ventures model of “Pay by Per Unit” suited us because it is transparent with no liability of fixed cost.The agency deploys its own onmanagement & resources to build a network of retailers,distributors and Modern Trade stores.Theme Ventures operation clones the internal sales team without the fixed cost of a maintaining a sales team.That’s a fabulous business model.
Case Studies
Most Expansive Sales Audit For Gopaljee Ananda. 15,000 Retailer In Delhi NCR. 8 Product Vertical : Milk, Curd, Chaas, Ghee. Paneer, Lassi, Butter and flavored milk. Mapping competitors pricing. schemes, vertical wise product availability, ,presence of Ananda in each shops, identification of the dominant brand In each vertical in each shop. the audit culminates into new retailer appointment to achieve 100 % universalisation. An year long activity, this was perhaps one of the most exhaustive market penetration survey by any brand in Delhi NCR In such excruciating details.
The Challenge : To extrapolate information from the retailers who are extremely cagey to share details about sales.The success of the project depends on the accuracy of the information collated.Based on the audit information the new retailer appointment would be done. Besides the audit would enable us to place those product verticals in the stores which are currently not stocking them.

Theme Ventures is running a B2B enquiry generation campaign across major metros for a Rs 400 core Cable & wire brand, Gloster. Covering builders.project architects. factory owners. promoters of micro residential houses. Theme Ventures generates enquiries from potential clients on daily basis for Gloster. The campaign has enabled Gloster to enhance penetration into un representated institutional segment where its foot print was low.
The Challenges : With no previous secondary sales data it was a herculean task to identify stores where Visual merchandising were to be done. Sales person worked as foot soldiers knocking shop to shop to figure out which shop was an existing vendor. Given the fact that there was no structured secondary sales data, new shop appointment was also a tall order. But within the constraints Theme Ventures ended placing visual merchandising material in close to 1500 stores in Metro circle per month adding another equal number of new shops to the brands kitty.

The Pre Engineered Building division of Everest Industries was looking for leads. The leads generated by various digital marketplaces lacked authenticate. They were inaccurate and were passed over to other competing brands as well in the same industry by the digital marketplaces. At the start of each day, the fronting sates team did not quite know where to go for business. Theme Ventures came in with the sole mandate of generating qualified, exclusive business leads with exclusivity for the client. Everest had realized that digital market places received incoming calls and never called out to clients explaining the product features or measuring the accuracy of the requirement.
The Challenges : Pre Engineered building had extremely limited application. Its a niche product used by green filed projects for new factory construction. The product ticket sue was high and extremely complicated technical product. Theme Ventures took an innovative path to crack leads. It did not enter into the cycle of learning and re-learning the technology. Instead it focused on collating data of upcoming projects all over the country. In course of the search it figured out that Gujarat, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu state governments had issued largest number of land usage factory licences in the proceeding few years.
– Architect Builder Enquiry Generation
Priya biscuit is an emerging player In biscuit and packaged food industry. Theme Ventures had handled distribution management for the company covering the entire band with : new retailer appointment . secondary sales. Visual merchandising, primary sales. MIS. Like most other companies the secondary sales data lay with the distributor and the company had no KYC of its own retailers. Theme Ventures began its journey from there. The new retailers data was collected on daily basis and a single retailer dope sheet was created for the brand owner. As more retailers were added each month the dope sheet became the master retailer KYC sheet for the brand.
The Challenges : To bring in cohesion in a loosely held distribution management structure of the brand was at all order. Having done an aggressive secondary sales and appointed large number of retailers in a short span of time. Theme Ventures realized that the fault line lay in primary sales. The alignment of entire MIS with primary sales and that in turn with secondary sales was a huge management challenge.
