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 />

Goals and Objectives:<br />

customer base. We also hope to get involved with campus organizations such as ASI and Career<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 />

ASI and Career services as other long term UGS clients. These on campus organizations could<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 />

we would like to highlight within our campaign is the fact that design assistance and advising can


Updated Client Action Plan<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 />

Timeline:<br />

1. Research departments who will utilize UGS the most. 1/30-2/5<br />

2. Reach out to these departments. 2/10<br />

3. Take part in SWAG BAG delivery if done in time (need to work with Lauren Klammer). Date<br />

8. Set up meeting with ASI to gain their loyalty. 2/22<br />

9. Create and excel list of departmental and organizational contacts for emails to be sent out.<br />

2/23<br />

loyalty program and swag bag release. 2/27<br />

13. Begin meeting with Departments throughout the rest of the quarter.<br />

14. Meet with ASI. 3/3<br />

Budget:<br />

quarter.<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.

These emails sent out will initiate future networking for UGS.

<strong>Graphic</strong> Arts Building (Bldg. 26, Room 212A) on Cal Poly’s campus. UGS is looking to expand<br />

their customer base by promoting their services to all faculty and students within different<br />

departments.<br />

UGS stands for something more than just a printing and digital imaging service; it provides<br />

the students within Cal Poly’s <strong>Graphic</strong> Communication Department the opportunity to run<br />

their own business while gaining professional experience to prepare them for success in their<br />

future careers.The company is run by 13 student managers with unique skill sets ranging from<br />

their client’s individual print needs. With each completed project, the students are gaining<br />

experiences that parallel that of the <strong>Graphic</strong> Communication Industry.<br />

UGS’s mission is to prepare a new generation of industry leaders - one job, one skill, one team<br />

at a time. When a client selects UGS as their print facility, they are choosing to support Cal<br />

Client Evaluation


Individual Final Evaluation<br />

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.
