hi

my name is daphne desa and i competed in

the food marketing series

placing second at icdc role plays are

challenging but they can be a lot of fun

when you get the hang of them

today i'll be sharing my tips on how to

research effectively beforehand

so you have great content to talk about

when you're ready to present

to start off with those mid role play

moments where you seem to pull an

amazing idea out of thin air

can happen more often when you have a

collection of examples

to formulate those ideas from something

that helped me a ton

was reading blog posts about grocery

store and food marketing successes

failures and trends keep in mind your

role-play scenarios are based off of

real-world encounters

so by utilizing news articles related to

your industry

you may end up coming across a very

similar situation presented in your

actual role-playing competition

next once you've gotten an overall sense

of the industry and how things work

dive deep into case studies of popular

brands especially in areas related to

performance indicators

for example to be prepared for the

potential food marketing theme of crisis

management

research how chipotle handled their e

coli outbreak and how kitchenaid handled

their pr scandal

these examples have recognizable brands

pertinent to the food marketing industry

which will help you seem knowledgeable

to your judge when presenting a solution

in a similar role play

you can use these as examples of what to

do or what not to do

another great way to find information is

to look at infographics

there are tons of helpful topics like

marketing shopping psychology

even user experience in website design

infographics are great for finding a few

key stats or tips

that you can memorize and drop into your

presentation

for example once i learned that the

tempo of overhead music in stores

affects customers shopping speeds you

can apply this in a role play by

suggesting that livelier music is played

during peak shopping times

to reduce congestion and how people get

in and out more quickly

while slower music is played during less

busy times to encourage shoppers to

take their time and make more of those

non-essential purchases

moving on my last tip is that you

actually go and visit grocery stores

this may seem weird but walking around

different chains from qfc to trader

joe's to whole foods

you'll get a feel for different types of

product promotions store layouts

and overall branding this knowledge can

be useful to draw upon

when you have a role play about updating

the store design

creating a product display or rebranding

a customer loyalty program

anyways i hope these tips were helpful

to you and i wish you the best of luck

in competition
