History of National Field Marketer’s Day

Field marketing is an aspect of marketing that has been historically thought of as a one-way communication tool, wherein the brand’s message is delivered through the channels of its promotional personnel, and eventually to the consumer either by way of a sample, a piece of merchandise, or literature or other forms of direct personal engagement.

In the early 20th Century, Procter and Gamble had already pioneered market research and direct-to-retailer sales. Bringing the results of one and the techniques of the other together seemed like the logical next step to take, and so Procter and Gamble (P&G) did precisely that. The rise of mass media gave Procter and Gamble a proper platform to promote their sampling events, which they fully leveraged on. The events gave those in attendance the chance to try P&G’s latest products firsthand, with a discount for any purchases made on the day. Procter and Gamble’s profits waxed stronger and stronger, spurred by innovations like experiential and direct in-person marketing across the board and this would eventually see them become the world’s biggest spender on marketing.

In 1924, the inaugural Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was quite a spectacular experience, as it featured live animals from the Central Park Zoo on the streets of New York. More than 250,000 individuals were in attendance at the parade and Macy’s declared that the parade would become an annual event. Today, the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is now the world’s largest parade. In current times, field marketing could also include two-way communications such as requests for feedback about product samples or inviting consumers to follow a brand on social media.
