Marketing Coordinator
Clive & Ankeny- looking to hire someone 25 – 35 hours per week to help do marketing drop offs and fundraising development. The ideal person would be established in the Greater Des Moines area and have strong with ties to the local community. They are bubbly, outgoing have marketing and or sales experience. This job pays $18/hour. This position is important to our organization to ensure that we have positive growth. The Marketing Coordinator will be responsible for doing all the local store marketing as well as assisting the store managers and owner in coordinating the efforts that will have the biggest impact on our marketing dollars. Using the corporate approved “Automatic and Everyday Sampling” approach, we have the goal of hitting 10,000 mouths per quarter. Our NBC product quality is a CORE driver of our brand and business. We anticipate through growth of the company overall that we will have several marketing coordinators overseeing vertical markets: fundraising and business to business.

Fundraising

We have a fundraising program where clients can either pre-sell Bundtlets or pre-buy them. The role would be reaching out to schools, churches, youth sports organizations and any other group you can think of to line up fundraising. Examples of pre-buying events for fundraising would be dance recitals, football, soccer or basketball games, fish fry or a school carnival. The client buys a predetermined amount, maybe 200 Bundtlets and sells out of them during their event. Examples of pre-sales would be a dance team, youth sports group, church group or any other organization that wants to raise money for a specific cause: they have a selling window of 2 weeks, fill out pre-order forms, and a delivery date agreed upon 2 weeks after the pre-sales window closes. In each scenario, the client buys the Bundtlet from us for $5.00 and they sell it for $7.00; therefore, they earn $2.00/Bundtlet for every Bundtlet sold.

Business to Business

Company picnics, holiday parties, client gifts, thank you gifts or help set up a monthly birthday program. Sending thank you notes after large purchases.

Marketing

Marketing takes on multiple forms. There is an element of reaching out via phone or email to past clients to retain their business. We send out product approximately 3 days per week; engaging local businesses and consumers to drive traffic into our bakeries. It’s very important that when you are making these connections over the phone or in person, we are capturing some key information about the business and their possible needs. It’s important to exchange business cards so we have the correct information to log and follow up accordingly.
