PROJECT BACKGROUND • Scope: • The Washtenaw County Chapter of the American Red Cross has asked for assistance in formulating a marketing plan aimed at increasing enrollment in its CPR/First Aid classes and associated revenues. • Objective: • As part of the marketing plan, the Community Consulting Team researched the current market for CPR/First Aid classes and provide recommendations on which existing and new customer segments to target for increased course enrollments. • Key Tasks: • Research both the mandated and non-mandated markets of people who take CPR classes. • Divide each market into major customer segments and determine the size and potential demand of each segment. Determine the profile of each segment including demographic data and customer needs and wants.
INITIAL ANALYSIS (Mandated) • Educational / Day Care Market • There is a large potential based on market size • Most schools mandate that teachers be certified in CPR • Day care and summer camps are stricter in enforcing certification requirements • Conclusions • Further analysis must be performed to understand the number of teachers already trained and to fully understand OSHA requirements • Critical to “enforce” and push for retraining of teachers • Opportunity to form partnerships with districts • Day care and summer camps can be reached through targeted relationship development
INITIAL ANALYSIS (Mandated) • Corporations • Each corporation is responsible for setting their respective policy on CPR certification • Corporations are the “bread and butter” for revenues • There is a large untapped pool of corporations in Washtenaw county • Conclusions • Corporations provide the biggest bang for the buck • Need to determine ARC current relationships versus potential customers • Require a deeper understanding of the market including corporate interest, key selling points (why they might offer a course), who is responsible for training (contact), etc.
INITIAL ANALYSIS (Mandated) • Doctors / Dentists / Police / Fire / Ambulance • Most doctor’s and dentist’s offices require all employees to be trained in CPR • All police, fire and ambulance organizations require employees to be trained • Most larger organizations provide in-house training provided by an individual qualified to teach CPR • Smaller offices may present an opportunity • Conclusions • Determine if ARC does not compete for this market segment (let Huron Valley take it) • If not, this is an untapped market and particularly enticing because of the motivation of the individuals to be certified in CPR (and re-certified annually) • Another potential market identified is nursing homes / seniors (although not mandated)
REFINED SCOPE • Coming out of the initial meeting we decided that the on-going focus of the project should be on the corporate market segment • Survey corporations to: • Define market potential • Determine corporate needs / requirements and understand motivations • Develop contacts and point-person • Define key selling points • Understand the “real value” of offering a CPR class • Quantify current ARC relationships • Identify opportunities for new relationships • While consensus was that corporations would be the primary focus, the team would also seek to identify opportunities and make recommendations for follow-on projects
