Question ID: 401561
I need the URLs of 15 brochures from 15 separate business, management,
or marketing consulting companies.  I am specifically looking for
consultancies that offer services in strategic marketing and planning.
 These are they type services often associated with business plan
development and includes services related to market sizing, market
segmentation, marketing requirements, competitive analysis,
positioning, pricing, trend analysis and business model development.

Many of these companies also offer services relating to market
communications and PR.  This does not disqualify the company but to be
included the company should still provide strategic marketing and
planning services.

When I say brochure I am referring to documents that explain what
services the company offers and what benefits those services bring
(Basically I am looking for a piece of sales collateral).  I am not
interested in presentations on how to market small business, position
a product, or segment a marketplace or any ?how-to? type presentation.
 I am also not interested in brochures showing collateral that has
been designed in the past or portfolios of any type as these type
brochures are usually from consulting agencies that focus on marketing
communications or PR rather than strategic marketing.

To help you better understand what I am after; I am starting a small
marketing consultancy which specializes in strategic marketing.  I
seek these brochures to see what the competition is offering and how
they are positioning themselves.

I will provide an extra tip for brochures coming from consultancies
that focus on startups and other new business ventures.  I will also
provide an extra tip for answers that include more than 15 URLs.


Thank You!

Would Stratamar meet your requirements?

Hi bobbie7,

Thanks for the quick response!  Both companies listed would be
suitable targets.  Frost & Sullivan is a consulting company that does
a lot of different kinds of things, but one of the things they do is
strategic marketing consulting and that would be the part of the
business I would be interested in.

Stratamar would also be an acceptable target.  

Note just to make sure I have made myself clear, I am not looking for
company web sites.  Rather I am looking for downloadable brochures
from those companies such as those brochures handed out to their
customers as sales collateral.

A good example can be downloaded from the bottom of this page
http://www.copernicusmarketing.com/consult/index.htm

Hope this helps,
Thanks!

Thank you for your clarification.  I located a few more companies,
however they don't provide corporate brochures.

If I find anything relevant I will let you know.

Thanks,
Bobbie7

Canbeonlyone,

I am immensely flattered that you mentioned me in the title of your
question. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything useful
for you. I agree with Bobbie's comment (below) that it might be best
to open this to other Researchers.

That's probably a good idea, but I would like to wait until tomorrow
just in case pinkfreud wants to comment.

Also I will open another question for you as a token for the work you
have already done.  I do appreciate it.

Thanks!

Okay - Thanks bobbie7!  Thanks pinkfreud!  Lets open it up.

One other note - I did some pretty extensive searching yesterday as
well (Hence the reason I am writing to the experts today) and I
suspect that there is not a lot out there to find.  However if it
helps anyone I did find a few with the following strings on various
search engines:

marketing brochure services positioning filetype:pdf
marketing brochure positioning segmentation filetype:pdf
"strategic marketing" brochure services positioning filetype:pdf -course

On a related note do you know of a search engine that implements
"should have" and also "filetype"?  I tried teoma but it doesn't do
filetype.

Thank you both!

types, here are the companies that I was able to find with such a
capability.

I hope these links would help you in your research. Before rating this
answer, please ask for a clarification if you have a question or if
you would need further information.

Thank you so much Easterangel!  Wow - I am impressed.  I won't tell
you how many hours I worked on this same thing with much less success.
 Would you be up for more similarly related research in the future? 
Thanks again!

BTW - Just to clarify (not part of the official question) - I am not
really looking for search engines that can search on filetype, I am
really looking for search engines that you can use filetype and also
the command "should have" such as Teoma implements.  Actually I am not
sure Teoma is a true implementation, but it would be nice to tell a
search engine to search for a specific term and also to search for
some other terms that would be "nice to have" but are not required. 
If the Internet ever goes XML maybe we will get this capability.

Dear Canbeonlyone,

I located additional companies, but unfortunately none of them offer
corportate brochures.

I think it is best at the moment to open this question to other
researchers who may have better resources.

By the way I would like to do some similar research for you in the
future. Just put "for Easterangel" on the subject and I'll see what I
can do.

Thanks again!
