CORPORATE PROFILE
THE COMPANY
OUR SERVICES
As new local and international investors and businesses enter into the Nigerian economy, and as previously
government-dominated sectors of the economy are liberalized, there is a significant increase in the number
of brands and services competing for attention and custom. Given the level of competition in most industries,
marketing skills have become a major requirement for discerning organizations seeking to distinguish their
products and services as a strategy for market success.
Elbeo helps its clients to develop marketing strategies
which are appropriate to deliver their business
objectives. Elbeo can also secure resources to execute
these strategies creatively and technically in order
to promote the clients brands to greater advantage
versus competition.
Elbeo Limited is a marketing skills and resources supplier to corporate organizations seeking to employ
world-class marketing expertise in their enterprise while not necessarily interested to develop such expertise
in-house. Elbeo supports its clientele with superior marketing expertise to enable them attain leadership in their
industry and position them for sustained success in their areas of commercial activity.
Our clients’ successes translate into a wider choice of high quality goods and services available to consumers in
the various markets in which these clients operate. Our participation also means that these consumers are better
informed about the choices available to them and can therefore maximize their spending to meet their needs.
Our services include:
• Market Intelligence & Strategy Development
• Marketing Plan & Management Recruitment
• Marketing Manpower Training & Development
• Strategy Review and Consolidation

“We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all
our exploring will be to arrive where we first started and
know the place for the first time.”

ELBEO ACADEMY
MOBILE RESEARCH
An organisation’s capacity to effectively train its people is part of its
ability to survive. The absence of this capacity could reveal itself
as a flaw in a number of destructive ways, including loss of bottom
line profits.
Current methodologies for managing quantitative research
fieldwork are manual and often error-prone. Field interviews
are conducted manually using photocopied questionnaires and
checklists which create logistics challenges at collation and dataentry stages. While this manual approach provides basic audit
data, it does not enable deep analysis of critical developments
affecting client’s brand or product distribution.
It is becoming increasingly more important for organisations to
gain competitive advantage over their rivals. One way of ensuring
this competitive advantage is to develop a highly skilled workforce
equipped with the knowledge and expertise required to stay ahead
in the marketplace. Continuous training and re-training provide
the required knowledge that keeps organisations ahead of their
competition.
It is also important to balance this much needed learning with
the demand on the employees’ time to ensure efficiency and the
smooth running of organisations. For organisations to maximize
the enormous benefits in developing the capabilities of their
workforce, they need the right type of training for the right people,
available at the right time.
Elbeo Academy™ is able to offer corporate and functional training
tailored to suit the needs of your organisation and to deliver high
quality professional development. Whether your preferred mode of
learning is the traditional classroom style of training or e-learning,
Elbeo Academy™ has on its faculty highly skilled and experienced
trainers who are able to employ either system or a combination of
both to deliver world class training when needed.
Elbeo will be the
reference point
for marketing
knowledge,
expertise and
training on the
African continent.

Elbeobus
Omnibus surveys provide those seeking information about
markets and opinions with a means to get quick, relatively low
cost answers to their questions without financing and organizing
a full market or opinion research survey themselves. The
omnibus also allows clients to obtain quick answers to questions
of immediate interest, provides information on topics that do not
require a full survey, helps develop and pilot questions for other
surveys and provides information on trends over time.
Elbeoaudit
Retail auditing is the collection of information on a company’s
distribution, positioning and compliance for their brands and
products. Retail audits help discover the main reasons for products
being off-shelf which may be because of supply/distribution
problems, incorrect master data or store replenishment issues. It
is also a formal examination and verification of either how much
of a product has sold at the store level (retail audit) or how much
of a product has been withdrawn from warehouses and delivered
to retailers (wholesale to retail audits).
Elbeopoll
Polling is crucial for public and political campaigns. Poll results
tell candidates where they stand: how well known they are,
who knows them and what people think of them. Polls also
tell candidates about the opinions of the electorate. Polling
lets candidates know which of their existing views they should
emphasize and which they should not emphasize. Polling
information is used by candidates to help them understand the
public. It helps them to understand their constituency rather
than pander to it. Polling provides candidates with a greater sense
of concerns of their electorate than was possible before.
