How We Work Agency in Thane

How We Work

You get a consultative approach to your assignments

Here’s what you can expect by contracting with Fulcrum resources.

Depending upon the scope of your assignment, we do our homework by getting to know your customer, your products, your selling processes, your database and any test results. This review alone almost always uncovers ways to increase your ROI.

The steps we typically take when getting up to speed on your assignment

1 Customer profiling :- The first step often includes a complete customer profile analysis by overlaying your present customer database with third party data including demographics, lifestyle and behavior files.

2 Response data:- forensics By analyzing your past direct marketing results, we create offers and new single channel or multi-channel test programs that are designed to beat the response of your present most successful direct response programs (that is, your controls).

3 Creative development:- For creative assignments, we first write a comprehensive creative strategy document for your review. This incorporates the offer, product benefits, testimonials, answers to the top three customer objections and other information the creative team needs to create your new winners.

4 Financial pro:– forma Before we embark on a direct marketing program, we develop a financial pro forma that incorporates your allowable cost per lead or cost per sale.

5 We can act as an extension of your staff:- Some suppliers call this partnering with the client. But we really cannot partner with clients in the classic sense as stockholders. But we are “stakeholders.” This simply means that as consultants, what we do after the program runs separates us from advertising agencies. We look at the total selling process looking for barriers that are affecting response rates. This might include a selling cycle audit where we examine the steps leading up to a sale. We begin with the customer’s first response and tabulate every step. We then submit a report to you with our recommendations for both sales improvement and new selling opportunities.

Our clients turn to Fulcrum for a variety of services depending upon their needs. These services usually include one of the following areas of direct response activities.

Direct marketing program assessments
Direct mail, email, telemarketing script, fieldwork,  advertising and other creative development incorporating concept development, copywriting to final art
Test programs for B2C and B2B lead generation
Marketing planning and implementation
Database setup, planning and implementation
Conducting in-house brainstorming sessions
Proposal development for advertising agency direct response presentations
Face to face consulting to share direct marketing expertise
Total direct marketing program leadership

The Fulcrum compensation offers maximum flexibility for your projects.
Ad Hoc Basis

For short-term projects or for clients who are not yet interested in an ongoing commitment, Fulcrum offers a flat fee based on the projected hours required to complete your project.
By project

This most often includes a marketing plan and a creative assignment, like a new direct mail package or a series of emails or telemarketing scripts. A set fee is agreed upon at the beginning of the project. More and more clients are asking for general direct marketing consultation. The deliverables sometimes take the form of a written assessment presented to your team in PowerPoint format. These assignments usually evolve into an extended agreement or a direct marketing audit.
Extended Term Agreement

If your programs are ongoing and you need longer term planning and implementation support, then Fulcrum will prepare a long term agreement for your consideration. The proposal includes a thorough description of the services provided, the goals of the relationship and a monthly fee. The fee reflects a projection of the scope of the assignment. Some of these extended agreements may last no more than four months while others extend beyond one year.

Subcontracted work

Most projects undertaken by Fulcrum require the services of suppliers, specialists, printers, lettershops, data analysts, compilers, telesales firms, mailing list companies and other subcontracted support to complete client approved direct marketing programs. These subcontractors are paid by Fulcrum on the client’s behalf. In some cases, the logistics require direct payment by the client to contractors hired by Fulcrum.

Depending upon the assignment, Fulcrum includes a commission in its supplier estimates and referrals for client work.
Creative development process

First, you tell us about the project and we give you an estimate.

With your approval, you will need to send us background information or put us in touch with people who can provide that information.

Then we’ll write a draft for your review. If you’re using one of our graphic designers, we will also provide initial design at this stage.

With your feedback on our draft, we’ll provide a revised version of the creative.

How many revisions do you get?

We don’t put a limit on revisions because we want you completely satisfied. Historically, the number of edits for our creative work averages 1-3.

We know you’ll have revisions — maybe more than a few. But we do not charge for revisions unless you decide to change the direction of the project.

How We Work Agency in Thane

About Thane

Thane is a city in Maharashtra. It’s the administrative headquarters of a district called Thane, and resides in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The Thane creek, at the head of which the city lies, also characterizes its location. The creek starts at the Ulhas River and culminates in the Arabian Sea. The city has a part of its area on the mainland across the Thane creek, while the rest of it is located on the Salsette Island.
Thane is regarded as Mumbai’s elder sister, as a part of the Thane district, from Mulund to Sion, is given to Mumbai for the latter’s future development. It’s also popularly known as the Lake City, because it features as many as 35 lakes within its precincts. The Masunda Talao, also called Talao Pali, is among the most beautiful lakes in the city. Besides being a tourist attraction, the lakes are a source of water for both Thane and Mumbai.
Historically, Thane is a very important city. On 16 April 1854, it was the destination station for India’s first ever train, which had started its brief journey at Boribunder, today called Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, located in Mumbai. This ushered in the Railway Age in Asia.

Stats And Facts

The population of Thane, as per the provisional reports of Census India 2011, is 18,18,872. The urban/metropolitan population, on the other hand, is 1,84,14,288
The sex ratio in the city, according to the same reports, is 882 per 1000 males. The child sex ratio, on the other hand, is 900 per 1000 boys. Both these figures are below the national average

Originally, Thane was called Sristhanaka, which translates as the place where Lord Ganpati resides
Until the year 1739, when Marathas captured it, Thane was an important trading center
The Thane creek, a river stream flowing from Ulhas River to the Arabian Sea, splits the city into two parts, which are connected by a rail bridge and two road bridges
Thane is home to the Upvan Arts Festival, held at the picturesque 15-acre Upvan Lake area. Over 200 artists from across different fields get a platform to showcase their work and talent

Manufacturing Sector

Thane has a large industrial base, with a significant part of the city acting as a home to both big and small industries
The industrial areas in the city mostly host engineering, electrical, chemical, and textile industries
Some of the prominent industrial areas are Wagle estate; Thane-Belapur road, or Trans Thane Creek; and Ghodbunder road
The manufacturing sector still contributes about 40% of the total income earned by the Thane Municipal Corporation
The major companies that have manufacturing units in Thane are Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd., Glaxo, Cadbury’s, Nicholas Parimal, Clariant, and Vidyut Metallica

Connectivity

The nearest airport to Thane is in Mumbai, called the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. The distance is about 36 km, which is a drive that will anywhere from 45 to 75 min, depending on the traffic
Thane is well connected with other major cities in India, as it’s a train station for many of the trains leaving Mumbai for other cities in different states. It’s also a major railway station of Mumbai Suburban Railway, and is well connected with the neighboring suburbs through the Central and Trans-Harbor Line Suburban railway network
Thane is well connected to the entire suburban network by road. For example, it connects to Borivali through the 6-laned Ghodbunder road. Thane connects to the southern cities via NH 4, which runs from Mumbai to Chennai, connecting Pune and Bangalore on the way
Bus service is available within the city, thanks to the several local, public players in operation, including Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), Thane Municipal Transport (TMT), and Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT)

Thane Civic Administration

Thane is one among the 15 tehsils in the Thane district. It’s also one of the 5 sub-divisions in the district, formed for administrative purposes
The Collector, who is an IAS officer, heads the entire Thane district, and is therefore responsible for the city as well
The municipal body in Thane is called Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC). The area under TMC has 65 electoral wards. The corporation has 130 elected representatives plus 5 nominated representatives
The corporation also has 9 administrative wards called Prabhag Samittees

Thane Infrastructure

The infrastructure in Thane has been up to the mark, generally, but there is a lot of scope for development, considering that the population in the region is continuously increasing.

Road, rail, and air transport infrastructure is, of course, excellent. The expressways and the railway networks link the city to other major cities across India. As the vehicular population is rising at a rapid pace, city is planning development projects in terms of flyovers, bridges, and road widening.

When it comes to power, the city has just enough power capacity to meet the needs of its residents. The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) is, therefore, taking measures to achieve self-sufficiency in power. For example, TMC has made it mandatory for all buildings to install a solar water heating system.

All in all, there is a need for a sea of change in infrastructure development in Thane, and that aspect is being reflected in the measures taken by the TMC and the state government.
