"Advertising is not an expense but an investment"
Mantenir la competitivitat d’una empresa en època de crisi econòmica sovint implica reduir les despeses. La creença popular que el màrqueting és una despesa operacional fa que moltes empreses retallin la partida publicitaria sense pensar-s’ho dues vegades. Publiquem un article de VIA Empresa, on Gemma Vallet, directora d’11Onze District, ens explica per què invertir en publicitat en temps de crisi pot salvar el nostre negoci.
Màrqueting per sobreviure a una tardor incerta
La publicitat al pla d’empresa no és una despesa, és una inversió, un flotador, pot evitar que vostè i la seva empresa tanquin.

El preu “raonable”, el denominat pricing en màrqueting, està sent un altre dels trencaclosques
En aquests moments de crisi econòmica, pregunteu-vos què poden fer les empreses, els empresaris, les persones al davant del màrqueting, vendes i branding per a continuar venent a una tardor que es presenta crítica, marcada pel que alguns anomenen la incertesa… La incertesa a hores d’ara és més ben poca, es confirma que estem immersos en una crisi global de les històriques i els consumidors, els ciutadans, ja han començat a contenir el seu consum. L’incert aquí és fins quan aquesta contenció en el consum, i nosaltres ara -consumidors- en aquest entorn anem a comprar el just i imprescindible.
És la primera cosa a tenir clara, a entendre. Què és imprescindible per als teus clients, per als consumidors de la teva marca? Aquesta pregunta de reflexió cal fer-la a consciència. Imprescindible és el pa i també el catalogat com a entreteniment i oci. Per exemple, en temps de crisi, la música (la cultura que per a alguns governs és motiu de retall de pressupostos) és un bé que es pot catalogar d’imprescindibles i es pot comprar en format de concerts, festivals… a un preu raonable, perquè la gent ara necessita com el pa el seu moment d’evasió.
El preu “raonable”, el denominat pricing en màrqueting, està sent un altre dels trencaclosques perquè no haver de tancar per haver adoptat un low cost en què hem d’haver-hi de regalar productes, serveis.
La marca, ¿compraran marca o escullen les marques blanques o marques nascudes, incubades, en els marketplaces com Amazon? La marca encara és la millor aposta que es pot fer en qualsevol negoci, a hores d’ara no ho posem en dubte. Apostem per continuar invertint a construir marca. Mercadona va fer-se un buit, un bon buit en el mercat, per vendre millor que ningú en alimentació les marques blanques… I cert és que Mercadona inverteix a mantenir la seva bona reputació, a construir la seva pròpia marca.
La partida de publicitat
Publicitat. Què fer en aquests moments? Sobretot, no retallar en comunicació de marca, de producte, en publicitat, perquè després serà pitjor, si retalla aquesta partida serà per fer que tothom s’oblidi de la seva marca i els seus productes i serveis… i això del branding i màrqueting té molt de sentit comú: si t’obliden, et deixen de comprar. Pot ser que el seu director financer li recordi que cal retallar despeses i la partida publicitària figura a la columna de despeses. No sabem gaire bé com va arribar aquí. Aquesta partida que posa publicitat al seu pla d’empresa no és una despesa, és una inversió, un flotador, pot evitar que vostè i la seva empresa tanquin.
Estudieu bé el mercat, és el moment d’invertir en dades, en intel·ligència del mercat.
És el moment d’estudiar, de revisar aquestes gestes del màrqueting com en el seu dia va ser una campanya històrica al mercat dels detergents, la campanya protagonitzada per un director general, un CEO, el Sr. Manuel Luque, que salva l’empresa en un moment on tots els indicis eren de tancament amb un missatge reptador: “Busqueu, compareu i si trobeu alguna cosa millor, compreu-la”. Transparència, honestedat i bon fer… Imprescindible.

Fintech Finance News, a leading publication in the international fintech community, reports on the collaboration between 11Onze Segurs and the Catalan mutual Mussap.
James Sène, Chairman, 11Onze, explained “We launched a survey asking which insurance products our customers would be interested in and vehicle insurance was the most voted. So, we worked on looking at options to offer vehicle insurance which is credible, fair and cost-effective. We reached an agreement with the Catalan mutual company Mussap as, unlike other entities, a mutual insurance company such as Mussap is not for profit. In addition, the mutual members are co-owners and the profits are reinvested in the same entity to improve the services and the contributions of its members. Furthermore, 11Onze has obtained an additional 5% discount for its members.”

The campaign for the sale of gold coins as gifts promoted by 11Onze as a present for this holiday season is attracting the interest of specialized international media such as Finextra and UK News Group.
You can read the original articles, from Finextra and UK News Group. Here are some excerpts.
European community fintech urges its members to go for gold this Christmas.
In many communities across Europe, family and friends will be exchanging gifts, money and good news this Christmas; so, in line with its mission to help its community build wealth, community fintech 11Onze is offering gold coins as gifts to members and users.
James Sène, president of 11Onze, explains the reasons for the campaign, “We live in uncertain times. We are facing runaway inflation, the depreciation of the euro and war in Europe. In these times, when there is uncertainty about the future of fiat currencies, we believe that investing in gold is the right decision. As a gift, it will not lose value over time and can be converted into cash quickly, the value of which will only appreciate.”
Since the suspension of the Bretton Woods agreements in 1971, which led to the abandonment of the gold standard, the sum of banknotes and commercial bank credit has multiplied by more than 30 times, which is equivalent to its depreciation of money. Gold, on the other hand, has seen its value multiply by 38. In fact, since December 2015, gold has appreciated by more than 40% against the euro.
Borrowing some of the magic from Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 11Onze offers its buyers, along with the coins, a Christmas postcard and a personalized gold ticket certifying the gold purchase.
Toni Mata, 11Onze’s Director of Content and Media, who is leading the campaign, said: “The 11Onze gold ticket connects directly to the fantasy created by Roald Dahl in the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. There, children who found the golden ticket inside the chocolate tile were invited to visit the chocolate factory of the wacky Willy Wonka. The 11Onze golden ticket won’t take any children to meet the Oompa Loompa, but it will ensure that they have gold for the future.”
If you want to give a gift for tomorrow, give gold. Here’s how to buy gold coins with 11Onze this holiday season.
Up to now, with Preciosos 11Onze, it has been possible to purchase gold bullion. From now on, we also offer the option of buying Krugerrand and Britannia gold coins. Gift gold, for tomorrow’s future.
Marketingdirecto, the leading online advertising and marketing media, has dedicated an article to 11Onze District, the 11Onze marketing agency led by Gemma Vallet, recognising a job well done since its launch in summer 2022. You can read the article below.
11Onze District, the in-house agency of 11Onze fintech, is born
11Onze, a Southern European fintech community, social network, marketplace and neobank, based in Barcelona launches 11Onze District, an in-house marketing agency. An agency born to also help catapult startups and emerging brands into the local and global market through branded content campaigns, programmatic advertising, social selling and live shopping.
Taking advantage of the knowledge and experience acquired during the launch of the fintech platform 11Onze.cat and the super app EL CANUT, now one of the strategic objectives of 11Onze is also to help especially new companies, startups, in their marketing and communication.
The president of 11Onze, James Sène, points out that “11Onze District has something really unique: a media and social network with a loyal community like 11Onze.cat. We can offer brands a global martech advertising service, through branded content and programmatic advertising that we can activate on 11Onze.cat and other digital media.
11onze.cat, the social network and community of 11Onze District
The 11Onze social network and community, 11onze.cat, has more than 15,000 registered and active members. This is a premium audience. Brands achieve eCommerce conversion rates that can exceed 1%.

“11Onze District is an in-house agency, although it has been designed to serve other brands. It has been created in record time and puts 11Onze at the forefront of advertising and marketing technology,” explained Gemma Vallet, director and driving force behind 11Onze District.
“I firmly believe that any social network – like the 11Onze community – as well as the giants Meta, TikTok or Google – should have its own agency to service brands. And these agencies have been historically proven to facilitate and help innovate both the creative agencies, media agencies and mainly the brand advertiser,” adds Gemma Vallet.
As a result of 11Onze’s reputation and the personal trajectory of James Sène, in large media groups, and Gemma Vallet, in renowned international consultancies and advertising agencies, 11Onze District has been able to attract strategic partners in programmatic advertising and OTT platform, to activate digital campaigns both locally and internationally with all the guarantees.
