Disadvantages of Field Marketing
1. Restricted Range: Given that field marketing is often concentrated on particular sites or events, its reach may be more constrained than that of digital or mass media efforts.
2. Challenges related to logistics: Logistical issues might arise while planning and carrying out field marketing activities, particularly when organizing events or activations.
3. Dependency on the Weather: Weather may have an influence on outdoor events, and bad weather can make field marketing initiatives less successful.
4. Expensive Costs: Field marketing campaigns may be costly to execute, particularly for large-scale events, depending on their size and scope.
5. Having Trouble Measuring: Accurately calculating the ROI and performance of field marketing programs may be difficult, especially when considering their long-term effects.
6. Personnel Concerns: It may be difficult to find and manage a group of brand advocates or ambassadors, and the staff’s skill level will determine how successful the campaign is.
7. Restricted Authority: Uncertainties may arise from brands’ limited control over the setting and circumstances surrounding field marketing initiatives.
8. Sustainability Issues: Concerns about sustainability are raised by the possibility of trash generation and environmental effects from certain field marketing initiatives, such as pop-up shops and events.
