The Friendly City Food Co-op An Advertising Campaign by SMADvertising Amy Morgan, Blair Garka, Casey Shaw, Chris Runyon & David Rosenberg
Problem Statement • If the Friendly City Food Co-op does not reach 1000 members, then the Food Co-op will fail to open as originally planned. • If Harrisonburg & Rockingham county residents do not become aware of what a co-op is and how it will potentially impact the local community, they will not become a shareholder or an investor and the result will be company failure.
Goals • Goal: To raise awareness of co-ops in the Harrisonburg area and educate people on the benefits of being a shareholder. • Goal: To increase membership to 1000 total shareholders.
Objectives • Communication Objective: To have 25% of each of our targeted publics become aware of the Friendly City Food Co-op by January 1, 2010. • Corporate Objective: To have 100% of current members who are registered on Facebook become members of the Fan Page for the Friendly City Food Co-op by August 1, 2009. • Corporate Objective: To increase the number of shareholders to 1000 members by March 1, 2010.
