WHAT WE KNOW
executive Summary
The UNL Computer & Phone Shop is an on-campus electronics store that offers a wide array of electronic products to both UNL students, faculty and staff at an educationally discounted price. Although they are the only discount electronics store, the UNL Computer & Phone Shop lacks brand awareness and customer loyalty among current UNL students, the primary target market. This has given Creative Fusion the opportunity to rebrand, redesign and recreate the UNL Computer & Phone Shop in order to effectively promote the brands exclusive benefits throughout the UNL community. While primary research indicated that a majority of the UNL students know of the store and its locations, we found that a majority of students were unfamiliar with some of the products and phone plans The UNL Computer & Phone Shop offered. Students also admitted to first hearing of the store after they had already purchased their major electronic products (laptops, etc). Secondary research also provided us with key insights on UNL student demographics as well as who is currently shopping at the store vs. who could be shopping at the store. This research helped us determine our campaign objectives, marketing strategy and brand message. Based off the research, we found that the Shop held a competitive advantage in three crucial areas: on-campus location, educational discounts and personal service. Because a majority of students already (somewhat) know of the store, we based our brand message on how the store can benefit the consumer against the competitors. The UNL Computer & Phone Shop not only offers educationally discounted prices, but also the convenience of service and three on-campus locations. The store connects the students, with products, services, location, support and low prices. From that point on, it was clear that this is the place where, You are now connected. Our goal is to create a powerful and influential brand for the UNL Computer & Phone Shop that will attract the target market to obtain lasting customer loyalty. By informing UNL students of the many benefits associated with the UNL Computer & Phone Shop through a series of marketing strategies, we will establish this as well as promote product sales to increase store revenue. The tactics we will implement to achieve our campaign objectives consist of: 1. Developing a series of both seasonal and consecutive promotional posters and banners 2. Promoting the UNL Computer & Phone Shop through multiple on-campus events, producing informative instore brochures that will display store products and prices, develop and maintain a strong social media presence specifically with Facebook and Twitter.
CHALLENGE
The UNL Computer & Phone Shop (UCPS) has struggled to spread its message, achieve customer loyalty and establish the UCPS brand among UNL students. UCPS requested a total rebrand with new name, logo and a comprehensive integrated marketing communications campaign.
SITUATION ANALYSIS
COMPANY
The UNL Computer and Phone Shop is an on-campus electronics store offering a wide array of electronic products to UNL students, faculty and staff at an educationally discounted price. It has three locations, two on City Campus and one on East Campus. Currently, it advertises using print media in-store and in the Daily Nebraskan. Along with advertising through the web using social media sites, they also have outdoor events and posters.
Consumer
The consumers who use the store are a mix of both UNL students, faculty, and staff. The UNL students are primarily between the ages of 18 and 25. They are of varying academic levels and majors. We have split the students into 2 different categories. The Beginners, are the students who are either incoming freshmen, new transfers and/or international students, or just new to the store itself. The On-The-Goers, are students who come to the store to browse or when they need to find something specific and are looking at the closest place to them. This group is not a specific age or class, but represents the average UNL Computer & Phone Shop browsers, aside from freshmen.
On-Campus
The UNL Bookstore sells a variety of electronic products including headphones, laptop accessories and full price educational software While the bookstore is frequented more often by students, the prices are not as cheap compared to the UNL Computer and Phone Shop.
competitors
Off-Campus
Best Buy and Wal-Mart are the top stores that most UNL students go to when they need computers, software and phone accessories. Aside from being relevantly close to campus, both stores offer a huge selection of products and services, with Best Buy having a Geek Squad division that works solely with computer repairs and services. Amazon.com is another outlet that students frequently shop online because of the competitive pricing and wide selection. They offer the convenience of shipping directly to the person as well as student and teacher programs that offer promotions and express shipping.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
To gather the most important information about the UNL Computer & Phone Shop target consumer and student demographics
1I
To identify how UNL students currently perceive the UNL Computer & Phone Shop
1II
To learn how students get information about the UNL Computer & Phone Shop products and services
IV

SECONDARY RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
To come up with initial data, Creative Fusion utilized material presented and provided by the client (UNL Computer & Phone Shop), as well as investigated statistical data from the 2012 UNL Factbook, and market data from MRI data: such information as target markets population data, enrollment rates, buying patterns and purchasing habits. The total fall 2012 UNL student enrollment is 24,207. This is a huge audience to market to so it will be important to consider each groups individual needs. According to research, a majority of current sales come from UNL freshmen and international students. UNL international-Chinese students make up over 40% of the total UNL international students. This group will benefit most from the UNL Computer & Phone Shop phone plans. Freshmen are also an important group to target to help increase customer loyalty as well as sales revenue during the high buying seasons, specifically the beginning of the school year.

The WiRED pre-grand opening event will take place during UNLs Big Red Welcome in August 2013. The purpose of this event is to introduce the WiRED brand into the community during the fall semester in order to successfully establish a strategic brand image and promote sales among students.

This will also increase sales during the first few weeks of school which is one of the highest buying seasons for educational software, phone plans and laptops. The event will be held outside Memorial Stadium, in a WiRED certified booth. We will attract students to the booth by having WiRED representatives promoting the Like us on Facebook and receive a free pair of WiRED sunglasses. This will either be behind the booth counter or at the City Union store location.

We will also hand out information brochures inside red plastic WiRED cups. These cups will be distributed to students passing through Big Red Welcome.

We will effectively reach incoming freshmen before or during the beginning of the academic year as well as improving messaging to the on-the-goers by increasing positive brand awareness and promoting product purchasing during the four high buying seasons We also will market the student discounted phone plans and computers to incoming freshmen and their parents through direct mail during the spring and summer months leading up to the first buying season. This will serve to acquaint new students and family members with the Computer and Phone Shop and allow parents to purchase the traditional high school graduation gift in plenty of time.

This is a simple yet informative brochure which will also contain a map with directions to each store location, along with phone numbers and email addresses, website URL and other primary contact information. This will be an easy to read, easy to understand brochure, aimed at the goal of displaying WiREDs convenience, personable customer service & the educationally discounted prices available. - This updated WiRED brochure is a full color tri-fold design - We suggest distributing this brochure specifically during campus-related events to inform new and current students of the products and brands offered - The cost for 2500 full-color tri-fold printed brochures is $1,230
