Client Action Plan<br />
Situation Analysis:<br />
Our client this quarter is Cal Poly’s <strong>Graphic</strong> Communication Department. The department has<br />
expressed their need for promoting the <strong>University</strong> <strong>Graphic</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> office on campus. Our campaign<br />
will be focused on bringing more awareness about what the facility can provide for students,<br />
the campus and for the community at large. Overall, we hope to increase recognition of<br />
UGS and generate more revenue through establishing lasting relationships with potential returning<br />
clients. We will be focused on targeting the different departments as our primary outreach<br />
focus. We hope to get each department on campus involved by providing services for their specific<br />
needs. We hope to create promotion opportunities that would appeal to different departments<br />
and the students affiliated with them. If we can start with department outreach, we predict that<br />
we will help spread awareness to the entirety of the campus instead of only the students involved<br />
in GrC or Journalism who pass by the office. We want to emphasize the quality, convenience, and<br />
the student hands on experience that comes from continuous business provided by UGS clients.<br />
Theory:<br />
The theory we will keep in mind is the Framing Theory. This theory is applicable to our campaign<br />
because it will help establish a lasting relationship with UGS social media followers.<br />
Goals and Objectives:<br />
The three main goals of this campaign include increasing customer base and loyalty in addition<br />
to the overall awareness of the <strong>University</strong> <strong>Graphic</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Facility on Cal Poly’s campus. Listed<br />
below are some of the objectives we hope to achieve over the course our campaign.<br />
Increased Campus Involvement<br />
Due to the fact that many students here on campus are unaware of the facility we are planning<br />
on targeting individual departments with promotional opportunities in order to gain a larger<br />
customer base. We also hope to get involved with campus organizations such as ASI and Career<br />
services who appeal to a wide range of the students at Cal Poly.<br />
Website/Social Media Development<br />
UGS already has an established social media presence on facebook, instagram and twitter in<br />
addition to a current website. However, one of our objectives includes helping them update their<br />
website, formulate potential posts for the future and focus on the aesthetic. Because the facility is<br />
predominately focused on creative projects, it is important to emphasize some of the creative student<br />
projects that are printed through UGS. We want to post some of these featured projects on<br />
social media outlets to not only showcase students and their work but to engage a broader public<br />
through aesthetically pleasing photo posts. These work samples could also find a great spot on the
Client Action Plan<br />
website to give a creative component in addition to informational content.<br />
Implementation of Marketing Promotions<br />
We are teaming up with the UGS Marketing team on helping them with their swag bag campaign.<br />
We also are hoping to build their network with the campus’s departments. If we can connect with<br />
departments and determine what projects can utilize the UGS facility we could provide promotional<br />
opportunities to the faculty, staff and students involved. We also hope to reach out to career<br />
services and ASI to see if their our any events that could potentially make use of UGS services.<br />
Target Publics:<br />
For our campaign, we are looking to appeal to department chairs who are able to make the decisions<br />
on where their printed materials are produced. Once we reach out to different departments,<br />
we are opening the doors to our next target audience; the students. We also are aiming to acquire<br />
ASI and Career services as other major UGS clients. These on campus organizations could establish<br />
a customer loyalty for the years to come and also continue to spread awareness among the<br />
student body.<br />
Key Messages and Themes:<br />
One of the messages we would like to emphasise when reaching out to our publics is the fact that<br />
the <strong>University</strong> <strong>Graphic</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> facility is run by students for the students. This is the paradigm of<br />
Cal Poly’s learn by doing model. This student run operation is not only an educational experience<br />
for the employees of the business, but should also appeal to its customers because enthusiastic<br />
students are looking for ways to utilize their skills and produce quality work. Another message we<br />
would like to highlight within our campaign is the fact that design assistance and advising can be<br />
provided through UGS. Student employees at UGS can help students and other potential clients<br />
looking for design assistance. This component is something that many printing facilities do not<br />
offer.<br />
Strategies, Tactics and Tools:<br />
One of the primary strategies UGS will use is to increase customer base and loyalty through<br />
campus affiliated programs, departments and clubs. Because UGS has yet to reach out to every<br />
department on campus, clubs on campus, or ASI, this would be a great opportunity to bring<br />
awareness of UGS on campus, as well as increase their revenue. We will be working with the UGS<br />
Marketing team, specifically Lauren Klammer, specifically with their “Swag Bag” project, which<br />
was created in order to give campus departments incentive to utilize their printing company. We<br />
also plan on using a loyalty program as a strategy to keep students and faculty to keep printing at<br />
UGS. This will give incentive to keep printing there, and overall bring more customers.
Client Action Plan<br />
Another strategy we plan on using is increasing UGS’s social media presence. We want to give potential<br />
followers and customers a reason to follow the UGS page. We plan to incorporate coupons<br />
and updates on design work that the UGS facility is creating. We want people to know what they<br />
are creating, so they have a visualize of what their projects can look like to.<br />
Methods for Evaluation:<br />
Our methods of evaluation include analyzing the number of new clients that UGS has acquired<br />
after the implementation of our PR campaign. We hope to see an increase in the awareness of the<br />
business in addition to a growth in revenue. generated. In addition, we want to see if their is an<br />
increase in the number of returning customers who continue to use UGS as their printing facility.<br />
Timeline:<br />
• Research departments who will utilize UGS the most 1/30-2/5<br />
• Reach out to these departments 2/6<br />
• Take part in SWAG BAG delivery ? (need to work with Lauren Klammer)<br />
• Develop social media plan 2/8<br />
• Write press release and send to CLA (to be incorporated in monthly newsletter) 2/11<br />
• Meeting with ASI to gain their loyalty 2/14<br />
• Meeting with Career Services 2/16<br />
• Initiate social media plan 2/28<br />
• Make mockup advertisements for UGS (potentially for Mustang News) 1/2<br />
Budget:<br />
• Currently, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>Graphic</strong> System has $500-$600 to spend this quarter. This money is<br />
to be used primarily on advertising.<br />
• T.V. ads (U.U. digital screen ads)<br />
• Radio Ads<br />
• Mustang News<br />
• New Times<br />

Updated Client Action Plan<br />
Situation Analysis:<br />
Our client this quarter is Cal Poly’s <strong>Graphic</strong> Communication Department. The department has<br />
expressed their need for promoting the <strong>University</strong> <strong>Graphic</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> printing facility on campus.<br />
The campaign will be focused on increasing more awareness about what the student run business<br />
can provide for students, the campus and for the community at large. Overall, UGS hopes<br />
to increase recognition of their services and generate more revenue through establishing lasting<br />
relationships with clients who will likely return for more business. UGS will be targeting a handful<br />
of departments, clubs, on campus organizations and students as their primary outreach focus<br />
of this campaign.<br />
We hope to start the initial department outreach by selecting a variety of departments on campus<br />
that would utilize printing services regularly for projects. We also hope to expand UGS’s relationships<br />
with on campus affiliates like Associated Student Inc. and help solidify long term business.<br />
In order to engage our target publics we are working to create promotional opportunities that<br />
would appeal to not only different departments but clubs and the overall student body.<br />
It is important that the main focus of this campaign to help reach the overall goal of generating<br />
more revenue and long term clientele for UGS. However, it is important to note that UGS competes<br />
for business with the Library Print and Copy on campus as well. One of the messages UGS<br />
needs to highlight is the idea that it is a professional business run for the students by the students.<br />
UGS needs to leverage business opportunities with on campus clients and increase awareness that<br />
will in turn lead to more revenue. We want to emphasize the quality, convenience, and the student<br />
hands on experience that comes from continuous business provided by UGS clients.<br />
Theory:<br />
The theory we will keep in mind is the Framing Theory. This theory is applicable to our campaign<br />
because it will help establish a lasting relationship with UGS social media followers. This is one<br />
way we can help generate excitement and engagement with students on campus.<br />

Implementation of Marketing Promotions<br />
We are teaming up with the UGS Marketing team on helping them with their “Swag Bag” campaign.<br />
We are aiming to build their network with the <strong>University</strong>’s clubs and departments. If we<br />
connect with departments and determine what internal projects would need a printing facility<br />
like UGS, we could provide promotional opportunities to the faculty, staff and students involved.<br />
Additionally, we hope to reach out to career services and Associated Student Inc. to see if there<br />
are any events that could potentially make use of UGS services.<br />
Target Publics:<br />
For our campaign, we are looking to appeal to department chairs who are able to make the decisions<br />
on where their printed materials are produced. Once we reach out to different departments,<br />
we are opening the doors to our next target audience; the students. We also are aiming to acquire<br />

be provided through UGS. Student employees at UGS can help students and other potential<br />
clients looking for design assistance. This component is something that many printing facilities<br />
do not offer. Lastly, convenience and competitive pricing is something we would like to<br />
highlight when promoting UGS in our public relations campaign.<br />
Strategies, Tactics and Tools:<br />
One of the primary strategies UGS will use is leveraging on campus organizations through<br />
campus affiliated programs like ASI and Career Services in addition to departments and<br />
clubs. Because UGS has yet to reach out to every department on campus, on campus clubs,<br />
or <strong>University</strong> Organizations, this would be a great starting point to help increase their presence<br />
among students. We will be working with the UGS Marketing team, specifically Lauren<br />
Klammer, on their “Swag Bag” project, which was created in order to give campus departments<br />
and clubs incentive to utilize their printing company.<br />
The Swag Bags are a promotional packages that could be used to market clubs and departments<br />
on campus. We also plan on using a loyalty program as a strategy to keep students and<br />
faculty utilizing UGS. These promotional discounts along with the locational convenience<br />
and fair pricing, enhance incentive for students to select UGS over its competitor, Cal Poly<br />
Print and Copy located in Kennedy Library.<br />
Lastly, another strategy we plan on focusing on increasing UGS’s social media presence. We<br />
want to give potential followers and customers a reason to follow the UGS page. We plan to<br />
incorporate coupons and updates on design work that the UGS facility is creating. We want<br />
people to know what they are creating, so they have a visualize of what their projects can look<br />
like to.<br />
Strategy 1: ASI Outreach<br />
Tactics<br />
Reach out to the person who is in charge of facilitating the print projects for events and<br />
campaigns associated with ASI. (Michelle Crawford, Assistant Director - ASI Programs &<br />
Government Affairs)<br />
Obtain contact information for future networking<br />
Initiate relationship through meetings and discuss collaboration options and gain insight on<br />
ASI’s current printing operation<br />
Strategy 2: Contact List, Email outreach, Press Releases<br />
Tactics<br />
Create a excel document where the contact of each department and the chair head are made<br />
easily accessible and can be used on mail chimp to send out email updates with press releases,<br />
promotions and general information about UGS<br />
Initiate department, and organizational networking through sending emails with a press
Updated Client Action Plan<br />
release about UGS in order to establish meetings.<br />
Create press releases that can be sent to the email contact list we create. Press releases will cover<br />
career fair promotions, swag bag release, loyalty programs and general information about <strong>University</strong><br />
<strong>Graphic</strong> <strong>Systems</strong>.<br />
Strategy 3: Update Social Media With Suggestions<br />
Tactics<br />
We have created a document with suggestions of posts that would highlight the work of the students<br />
that use UGS. The facility itself is not exciting, but the projects it produces are one of a kind.<br />
Everything ranging from design projects created in graphic communications classes to labels for<br />
industrial technology courses, should be showcased regularly. The aesthetic of the projects should<br />
be featured to propell the growth of UGS’s social media platforms with modern, artistic, content<br />
curation.<br />
Strategy 4: Obtain Data Through Awareness Survey<br />
Tactics<br />
We created a survey to assess how many students have a general knowledge of UGS. We used<br />
google forms to upload and track our survey questions and results. To get people to initially<br />
participate, we posted the survey on the Cal Poly class walls. The survey allowed us to track what<br />
majors were aware or have used UGS in the past, as well as what ways would drive them to use<br />
the facility in the future. This general information could be used by UGS to create promotional<br />
and discount opportunities in the future.<br />
Strategy 5: Promotional Suggestions<br />
Tactics<br />
We advised to implement a promotional discount during the week leading up to the career fair<br />
and team up with career services to help spread the word through sending out email blast to the<br />
all students and faculty with calpoly.edu emails. The email would advertise the the promotional<br />
package that would include a certain number of professional business cards, resumes and cover<br />
letters all for a discounted price. Students would need to show their Cal Poly I.D. and come into<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>Graphic</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> before the career fair begins. This would help spread the word about<br />
the facility, get different departments involved by appealing to all majors at the university and<br />
equip the students with quality professional print materials.<br />
Have a booth at Open House to promote UGS at the resource fair to offer promotional discounts<br />
and opportunities to incoming students.<br />
Methods for Evaluation:<br />
Our methods of evaluation include analyzing the number of new clients that UGS has acquired<br />
after the implementation of our PR campaign. We hope to see an increase in the awareness of the<br />
business in addition to growth in the overall revenue generated over the next year. If we are able
Updated Client Action Plan<br />
to solidify client connections that will have a long lasting connection with UGS, our campaign<br />
will be considered a success. We want to leverage the networking opportunities UGS has here<br />
on campus with on campus organizations. If we obtain Career Services and ASI as a partner, we<br />
will be able to measure our success by obtaining these long term accounts for UGS. Additionally,<br />
we recommend the implementation of another awareness survey like the first one we created, in<br />
order to measure how many students know about the facility after the course of a year.<br />

1. Research departments who will utilize UGS the most. 1/30-2/5<br />
2. Reach out to these departments. 2/10<br />

Elevator Pitch<br />
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>Graphic</strong> System facility is a convenient, student run operation capable<br />
of producing printed materials for every student and departmental needs.<br />
Whether it is a large or small scale project, the student employees are readily available<br />
to help advise on design and print production. Choosing UGS as your print<br />
production facility not only provides the students who run it with hands on experience,<br />
but also ensures that your project will be printed with top quality and care.

Overall I think our UGS campaign was very successful. Kylie and I were constantly working<br />
with Lauren Klammer, creating new ideas to benefit UGS and promote it on campus.<br />
UGS’s main problem was that not very many students know about the facility. Most<br />
students immediately resort to utilizing the library services because they have no idea UGS even<br />
exists. UGS needs to get the word out to faculty and students of the services they provide, and<br />
most importantly, inform Cal Poly that UGS is a student-run facility that will benefit graphic<br />
communication majors and their future careers, promoting the learn by doing motto.<br />
Kylie and I created material for UGS that will benefit them now, and in the future. We<br />
created four different press releases that can be used for future events like the Career Fair and<br />
when they create the loyalty program. By creating a survey and posting it on Cal Poly Facebook<br />
class pages, we were able to gather data that shows how little people know about the facility and<br />
how often students are using printing services. Most importantly, we came to the conclusion that<br />
students would utilize UGS if a loyalty program was implemented, as well as student discounts.<br />
Kylie and I were looking forward to delivering the Swag Bags to different departments on<br />
campus, but we were unable to because they weren’t ready yet. That was the only thing that didn’t<br />
go as planned in our campaign. Otherwise, Kylie and I were very good at updating our action<br />
plan as the quarter passed, and remaining in contact with future clients (departments and ASI).<br />
I think the reason our campaign was so successful was because of communication. Kylie<br />
and I were constantly working on the campaign, as well as with Lauren Klammer. Lauren was so<br />
easy to work with and made it very clear what she wanted from us each week, which allowed us<br />
to reach our goals and surpass them.<br />
Overall, working with UGS was one of the most beneficial public relations campaigns I<br />
have created so far. Kylie and I produced a lot of material for UGS, and it was so enjoyable

working with Lauren. She was always so open to all of our ideas, which allowed us a lot of room<br />
for creativity.<br />
Our main goal was to create contacts for UGS, and landing ASI was an amazing accomplishment.<br />
Having ASI as a client will generate a lot of work and income for UGS, as well as<br />
become a marketing tool for the facility. Having a “Printed by UGS” at the bottom of every huge<br />
poster ASI creates, will be a small way to promote their services, as well as showcase the professional<br />
work they are creating.<br />
As I have taken more and more public relations classes, I see myself developing into a<br />
more strategic and educated PR student. I see myself growing and understanding how the world<br />
of public relations works, and how important it is in society as a whole. I’m so excited that my<br />
last campaign at Cal Poly was so successful and that I gained so much individually from it. I see<br />
myself maturing from a public relations student, to a public relations professional, and it excites<br />
me more than ever for the real world!

I have worked with my partner Emily Detweiler on multiple public relations projects in<br />
the past. Without fail, we have managed to get the job done with efficiency and understanding for<br />
one another’s busy schedules. We are able to confidently work with each other and the clients we<br />
are assigned each quarter. We especially were enthusiastic to work within the <strong>Graphic</strong> Communications<br />
Department on this campaign because we share a common interest in design.<br />
Aside from our team dynamic, the overall campaign for this winter quarter went well.<br />
Although some of the implementation aspects were not able to be accomplished due to quarterly<br />
time constraints, we successfully laid the groundwork for UGS to network in the future and<br />
maintain long lasting clients. Lauren Klammer, the marketing Manager of UGS was our main<br />
point of contact for this campaign. She was very open to our suggestions which made it easy for<br />
us to generate ideas with her and receive helpful feedback. We wanted to start connecting UGS<br />
with the potential clients on campus so we suggested that they begin to network with on campus<br />
organizations such as ASI to leverage the possibility of solidifying long term clients would use<br />
printing services frequently. After meeting with the assistant coordinator of ASI, we were able to<br />
get UGS a foot in the door for future collaboration on print projects.<br />
We also wanted to start initiating departmental networking by researching and connecting<br />
with departments who would utilize the facility the most. We were able to get press releases<br />
written and sent to 10 departments, but the swag bags were not ready by UGS marking to promote<br />
until this last week. However, I would still count our email department interaction as an<br />
overall success because it introduced UGS to influential people who are able to help get students<br />
and faculty involved.<br />
The ideation of promotional opportunities and the establishment of a loyalty program<br />
were also huge accomplishments. We talked with Lauren to start researching ways to fit promo-

tional discounts and promotions in the marketing budget. These two suggestions are critical to<br />
engaging the students and getting them to come into the facility. We provided UGS with press<br />
releases to use in the future when events like the Career Fair come up, so that students can be notified<br />
and informed about these deals. We also created a survey in which provided insight on the<br />
lack of awareness across majors on campus and how we could help get them involved with UGS<br />
for their future project needs.<br />
All in all, I would say our campaign was a success because it helped initiate lasting relationships<br />
between ASI and departments on campus. We left UGS with public relations materials<br />
and suggestions for the future to enhance their business. Hopefully, next quarter students working<br />
with GrC will follow through with deparment networking, begin marketing the swag bags<br />
and use our advisements on the use of a loyalty program and promotional events.
