Public Relations Strategy公共关系战略
For Mobile Softee, it is advantageous that they have been preserving their fine image and reputation throughout 45 years, whereas the reserved image is deemed enigmatic by 70% of our interviewees for its low exposure to the public and less interactivity among them. To manage and influence public perceptions, it is important for Mobile Softee to engage consumers in more dialogue, to champion their causes, and to espouse their values ---all to forge a stronger relationship between the Mobile Softee and the consumers. 管理和影响公众的看法,这是吸引更多消费者的关键。这是消费者支持他们的原因,并且拥护他们的价值观---所有的的移动和消费者之间建立更强有力的关系。
As a support to other marketing efforts, we intend to integrate acceptable public relations elements into several advertising procedures. To extend the impacts, SNS and online forums such as Facebook, Twitter, Discuss.hk, OpenRice, etc. are practical platforms to release related information, create mutual communication, motivate interactive events etc. According to the research of City University of Hong Kong, average penetration of Internet in citizens aged 18 to 40 arrived 92.8% in April, 2008. We hold the wide coverage is undoubtedly beneficial to our campaign to propel “Buzz” effect, so this part is going to commence at the beginning and to be operated throughout the one-year campaign. Apart from the creative aspects, it is also a valuable tactic to infer our merits and defects so that we could make adjustments for further development. 除了在创意方面的不足,它也是一个宝贵的手法来推断我们的优点和缺陷,使我们可以进行进一步发展和调整。
For tourists, especially mainland Chinese aged 20 to 40, searching for interesting tourism information online before travelling in Hong Kong is acknowledged as “assignment”. Since Kaixin001, Renren, Sina Microblog, Dianping, C-Trip and others are with high popularity, it is also necessary to provide some revised information or activities in these online communities. 由于开心网,人人网,新浪微博,大众点评,C-TRIP等媒体具有较高的知名度,因此在这些网上社区还需要提供一些修改过的信息或活动。However, cooperation with Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) should also be taken into our agenda in November, 2011, before the tourism peak of Christmas season. This could help consolidate the accountable and friendly image of Mobile Softee as well as bring more trading opportunities to cooperate with other local brands since no tourist would like to try anything unfavorable among the local people.
Starting from early August this year, we think it is time to organize the three-month design contest of Mobile Softee logo and van before the couponing promotion. Since the winners will be applied to later promotions, it is not merely aimed at intensifying participation or interactivity, but also at raising the efficiency of coupons. As we have mentioned in sales promotions strategy, the contest is to be taken both online and offline so as to target at not only the young generation but also the reminiscent to reinforce brand image. However, with the coming design of logo and vans, there are some foreseeable changes for the brand image. To reserve its classic identity with certain novelty, we would also like to deliver a lively local image to the public.要保留它经典的身份并且具有一定的新颖性,我们还要向公众提供更加多姿多彩的形象。
We thus expect the public relations elements would best function in a complementary way to the advertising and sales promotions. It is nevertheless a decisive part to build a firm relationship with our consumers. With the help of public relations, it becomes a complete and integrated campaign.留学生作业 营销传播策划
