Advertising South Beach determined: • USP: 3-in-1 is very unique but hard for Top Dog to convey this to customers. • Club features not clearly stated and should be improved upon within ads. • Stick to what works: gorilla marketing and mailers. • Don’t forget about those underagers! • Keep track of ads: what’s working? what’s not?
Areas of Improvement • Imrovements based on interview with manager and with customers: • Keeping track of what works • Building loyal patrons • Reassesing advertising budget • Focus on specific target market
Keeping Track of What Works • Keeping track of ads and sales promotions: • Create mailing station within establishment • Vouchers and coupons sent out to those who sign up • Collecting vouchers and coupons to prove their effectiveness • Specific ads for specific purposes • This will help to create and maintain loyal patrons
Advertising Budget • Based on our interviews we concluded that newspaper ads have not been effective, thus we will put more advertising money into radio and flyers • Mailers and track of ads will also help to determine what percentage of budget should be used in what areas
Focus on Specific Target Market • Top Dog attracts mostly college students • Interviews conclude that college nights are big nights • WE plan to target campuses other than UPenn and Drexel: Villanova, PCPS, Temple, St. Joe’s • This specific target market responds best to guerrila marketing
