MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to create an unexpected drinking experience for our customers that exceeds their drinking needs and encourages them to drink our vodka often! “A statement of the firm’s business based on careful analysis of benefits sought by present and potential customers and analysis of existing and anticipated environmental conditions.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 18)

OBJECTIVE

“Without objectives, there is no basis for measuring the success of a, marketing plan activities.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 18) Our objective is to change the way people think about vodka. We want people to expect more when they drink of vodka. We want our customers to find paradise in every bottle! So by changing the taste, color and smell, we hope to change their thoughts on vodka. We want people to look at our vodka as a luxury not a commodity! To achieve 10 percent returned investment with in the first 12 months of distribution of product. Pay back any investments within the two years. Our objective is to have a 95-100 percent satisfaction rate on our product. “The idea that the social and economic justification for an organization’s existence is the satisfaction of the customers wants and needs; while meeting organizational objectives.” (MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 5) Producing an environmentally ethical name for the company, by making our bottle 100 percent recyclable. “Social responsibility and ethics go hand and hand.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 30) Have a U.S. based destitution center; manufacture the product only in the USA. Having a large scale of out of country buyers. Having a 15 percent increase on Internet sales. “Researchers suggest that consumers recall online commercials 60- 90 percent of the time, while they remember roughly about 25 percent of the advertisements on television.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 239)

SWOT

Strength: The strength Paradise vodka has is there’s no other vodka like this. The guava flavor to the vodka is unique. The hint of flower smell to the vodka doesn’t over power the vodka but intensifies your drinking experience. The pink color to the vodka will take you out of this world. Put you in a paradise state of mind! Also this vodka has a different making process. This vodka is made like wine more than vodka. So this unique making process will have a strong following from both vodka and wine drinkers. Paradise vodka will also be able to have a wider range of customers because it’s made like wine, but taste like vodka. Our bottles are 100 percent recyclable. “Duping may occur as a result of exporter business strategies.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 60) Since Paradise vodka is produced in the United States there will be no dumping,

Weakness: The weakness is that this is not the only premium vodka sold. They are many different flavored vodka’s sold in stores; especially fruit flavored vodka’s. This is a new product, so there is always the worry of customers not liking the brand! Or that customer will not take to guava flavor because it’s not a traditional flavor. Also since the target market is woman; if their needs over wants desire effects there purchase. “A want exists when someone has an unfilled need and has determine that a particular good or service will satisfy it.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 64)

External Opportunities: “When examining external opportunities and threats marketing managers must analyze aspects of the marketing environment.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 19)The external opportunities for Paradise vodka vary throw out the world. There are more opportunities to expand with a vodka, because the market is so huge.“ Reliabliability: is defined as: The ability to perform a service dependable, accurately and consistently.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 161)

Threats: This is a new product, just like any new product; this will also encounter problems. Paradise Vodka may encounter is that people may not like the Guava Flavor. Or even people maybe hesitant with this flavor. Not many people know what the guava fruit is. So this is where the company might have some threats to the success of the brand. The smell of the vodka may a make or brake the brand. People may think that the great smell of vodka that everyone loves will be compromised by the hint of floral sent. The pink color of the vodka may limit to only woman. Customer, so are men dema-graphic may not like that it’s not a gender-neutral color. In the end men may not drink the vodka just because the color. There will not be coupons available for Paradise Vodka. We do not want to compromise the name. “Almost 280 million coupons are distributed to the United States household annually, but this does not include the billions of coupons that are available increasingly on the Internet and in-store.” (MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 246)

TARGET MARKET

The target market is the classy, safictacted woman. The woman that will buy Paradise vodka; love tropical alcoholic beverages, they love the fruity tastes. This product is made for the woman who knows who she is! This vodka is made for the strong, independent, beautiful woman. Who prefers to have the sweet classy tasting drink with everything. From any walk of life these woman come from: the vacationers, islanders, clubbers, city lovers, subarea to the country. An upper class drink for an upper class woman! “80 percent of a company’s revenue is generated by 20 percent of its customers.” (MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 299)

Product

“ A product may be defined as everything, both favorable and unfavorable, that a person receives in an exchange.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 131) We want our product to be a favorable product. That is why we will have a guarantee on Paradise Vodka. If the consumer is not 100% satisfied, they will receive a full refund. “ A person who buys a new product never before used may ultimately become an adopter, a consumer who was happy enough with his or her trial experience with s product to use it again. (MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 152) We are so confident on our long lasting and satisfying taste; we have the confidence in having this guarantee.

Promotion

“The current trend is towards using more rather than fewer variables to segment most markets. ” (MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 98) So when it comes to the promotion of Paradise vodka there will be no setbacks. We will promote everywhere across the United States. We will use all of the social networks like: facebook, twitter, and myspace. Also like to have an advertisement in several magazines. Billboards. There will be no rewards programs, coupons, and sales; this will only hurt the bran name. Paradise vodka is a higher quality drink and we do not want to take away from that. “ Sales promotion’s greatest strength is in creating strong desire and purchase intent.” (MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 220)

Distribution

“ The marketing of goods and services to individual and organizes for propose other than personal consumption.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 83) Paradise vodka will be produced in the United States. With warehouses all over. We will not have any out of country distribution, we will send product over to other countries. “ The marketing of goods and services to individual and organizes for propose other than personal consumption.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 83) “ Products that are more complex, customized and expensive tend to benefit from shorter and more direct market channels. These types of products sell better through a direct sale force.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 180)

Price

“Trying to set the right price is one of the most stressful and pressure-filled tasks of the marketing manager.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 261)A 1.75 liter bottle of Paradise Vodka is around $85, 750 ml bottle around $55. You can also get a 350 ml for around $35. ” Prices often fall during a recession as competitors try desperately to maintain demand for their wares.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 290)

Implemental Evaluation control

Evaluation entails gauging the extent to which marketing objective have been achieved during the specified time period.”(MKTG, Lamb Hair McDaniel, Pg. 26) The way I will do an Evaluation , by doing constant surveys. Surveys will be from customers and retailers. Going directly to the source will be the best thing to do!

Advertising vs. Marketing

What is the difference between advertising and marketing?
"Advertising is happiness." John Draper, from television show, Mad Men!
Advertising and marketing are often mixed up. Most people think they are the same thing. They generally have the same effect. Well I am sorry their wrong. Advertising has been around, before marketing, but this doesn’t mean it has less importance. They are both important in the line of work you desire. Some consider advertising as one of the components of marketing. Marketing is the research you must do once you develop a product. Marketer care about the consumers wants and needs. Taking in consideration what you want. Advertising is selling a product. Advertising just appeals to your ID. Their goal is to sell as many of that product as possible! Here are some definitions of both.
Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal announcement of a persuasive message by an identified sponsor; the non-personal presentation or promotion by a firm of its products to its existing and potential customers. (By Laura Lake)

http://marketing.about.com/cs/advertising/a/marketvsad.htm

Marketing: The American Marketing Association defines Marketing as a series of business processes taken by a company to develop, communicate with and manage its customers. Marketing include components, such as market research, product development, product pricing, sales strategy, Advertising, customer support and public relations. The purpose of Marketing is to bring sellers and buyers together.

The Strong Dollar

Should Americans have a strong dollar or a weak dollar? Why did you make that choice,what will happen why or why not?

I think America should have an average dollar. Because either way we go its a lose lose situation. If we have a strong dollar less people will use American exports. Which in the end will hurt us. They will go to cheaper countries for there needs. If we have a weak dollar than it will be worth next to nothing. The exchange rate will benefit other countries, but our own. We as Americans we strive to be the best. We want to be the strongest and most powerful country of all. So if our dollar is to strong or even to weak, I think this will make what we strive for everyday less meaningful. Our beliefs as Americans will not mean the same. So if theres any way to have an American dollar an average dollar, I think our country would benefit from that the most. Sice America soley depends on exports for it's profit for our countries money. We need to have an average dollar. Having a strong dollar also effcts the average man, He wait I am the average man. How will this effect me? This means things will become more expensive for me. Already in the hard ressesion we all have taken cut-backs. We don't need anymore things keeping us from serviving daily! Even having a weak dollar effects the average man. If our dollar is worth less, then our wages will be less. The companies you work for will be making less money, so your wages will become less. The companies can't pay you the same if thier not making any money! This is why I thnk our dollar should be average. Not STRONG or WEAK!So ask your self the same question! What do you perfur?

Shopping Experiance

A good experiance I have had was a couple moths ago. I was at journey's shoe store. I walked in and was greeted . I was asked if there was anything I was looking for? I said,"Just looking around." The second I was ready to look at some stuff, and try on shoes they were there. There was a pare of shoes that they did not have my size in. you would think thats when my good experiance went bad, but no. They asked if I would like them to order them and have them mailed to my house. I said no I don't really need them. It was just the extra going out of thier way for me, really made me feel special.

A bad experiance was actually them same day as I went into journey's shoe store. The following store i went into was Forever 21. Usally you don't get completely horrible, but not the best service.I was looking around for 20 mins and none of the employees had greeted me. I was in such a great mood from the perivous store I was in, so that wasn't going to bother me! I went to check out I was waiting for about 10 mins for someone to come to the cashwrap, and there was at least 9 girls working. Than someone came and they got another person to check me out. Finally they decided who was going to check me out. Then the girl was so rude.I almost walked out of the store just how rude she was. I really wanted the clothing I had picked out, so I didnt walk out. I will say I have not been in forever21 since than because of that experiance!

About me draft

Hello my name is Brittany Knyszek. I am a fashion designer. I am in love with Southern California fashion. Everything that has to-do with Southern California I LOVE, the beach, the sun, the rain, the desert, the hole atmosphere. From the skater, surfers, to the dirt bike riders, to the kid who is just unsure, who wants to look nice. I get my inspiration from all of these aspects. I understand that everyone has their own style. I design my cloths with all of these factors in mind. I have two clothing lines in process, one for young woman. The ages of thirteen to twenty-two. The second line is baby clothing. I always see the same generic clothing on children I want to change that. I think every baby and toddiler has its own personality. I want to express that. They should not dress the same because they are not the same person. Regardless of age. I am taking woman’s motocross fashion to actual fashion. Girls are just as equal as boys, but why do there sporting cloths have to look the same? I am going to make things more stylish to ware. With Bmk Fashions my goal is set on personality and how everyone has his or her own. I will utilize their personalities into my clothing!
