What if… • I don’t get a job by graduation? • My team doesn’t win this pitch? • We lose a client? • Our advertising doesn’t work? • What if our competitor beats us? • The client asks me off the business? • Someone else beats me to the promotion?
Four Proven Ways • Work your ass off • Laugh (often) • Grace under Pressure • Kindness/Empathy
Two Sections • Base—New research we did for this plan • Evaluation—Ongoing research plan
Key Issue(s) are the foundation • New Research should answer new questions • Gaps from your Situation analysis • Could we convince target to use differently? • More often? • Could we move into a new geography? • Can we reposition? • Can we de-position a competitor? • Can we target a new audience? • Etc.
Know your customer • Demographics • Psychographics • Deep-seated wants and fears • Usage (Heavy users very useful) • “Mini-Saga” (design persona)
Factors that motivate purchase • Dannon: Women 18-34 • Low calories or calcium content?
Office Supplies • Price • Service • Availability • Convenience • In what order?
Rank Order • Rank order of importance of purchase criteria • Pork sausage: Taste and leanness over freshness and quality parts. • “The more precise the listing and rank order of the reasons the target group uses for purchase selection, the more powerful the advertising”
Consumer Journey • Deciding to get • Shopping for • Choosing • Using
Differentiation • What do consumers think differentiates us from competitors? • Anything? • Same as what we think?
The plan itself • Objectives • Ex: “To isolate those characteristics of the brand that are judged to be most compelling when switching brands” • Strategies • Ex: Qual, Quant, Observational, Ethnographic, etc
Method • Ex: # of interviews, focus groups, surveys, how analyzed • Summary of findings • Ex: “Over 75% of users also use yogurt to marinate meat”
Interviewing • Probe • Control (never let respondents fill out questionnaires) • Get out of your office! A lot!
Questionnaires • One-page advantage • Direct questions-Direct answers • PRE-TEST!!!!! • Have fun!!
Store Checks • Do them!
Problems and opportunities • Problem: Since dentists rarely endorse specific brands, consumers have little basis for brand selection • Opportunity: A form of fluoride has been developed that is proven to reduce cavities • Opportunity: Secure an ADA endosement
