This electricity cooperative needed a brand study across the power, telecom, and professional services industries to explore the opportunity to expand their business model
Client description:
Electric membership cooperative
Challenge:
This electric membership cooperative wanted to explore the potential of expanding its business model by bundling other services and to explore corresponding new corporate identity branding strategies.
Methodologies:
Geo Strategy Partners conducted extensive secondary research to benchmark successful and unsuccessful bundling strategies and then conducted a full brand analysis to offer strategic branding alternatives.
The result:
Our recommendations were to be very limited in offering services far flung from the company’s core competencies based largely on the UK experience following deregulation in 1990. We also presented strategic branding alternatives which were followed up by their ad agency. The client scaled back their aggressive bundling strategy and focused on services that leveraged their core competencies and provided true added value to their clients.

The client was interested in launching a website with the right features, functionality, and information to attract physicians as users and subscribers. The client also wanted to know how the new offering compared to what was currently available, as well as what would be ideal according to physicians.
Client needed to expand their valve product sales and installation business model with valve repair services. It was determined that an acquisition was the best method to enter this business due to the expertise and quality control manuals required.
Client had a low volume of sales into the food & beverage industry and had placed very limited resources against that vertical. They needed help in assessing the attractiveness and size of the market opportunity in order to develop a market entry strategy and be more proactive in their sales and marketing in this space.
