FROM THE PUBLISHER
This is a
great time of the year when hope springs eternal
in the retail industry. Where each of us wishes
that the showers of April will be in the form of coins falling into our registers.
THE first quarter was off
to a good start for many
retailers and wholesalers.
stores and malls to shake
off the winter doldrums
and see the new season’s
With high employment
merchandise.
and decent consumer
THIS is where your store
confidence there is a good
flow of business to be had.
FOR the most part the
winter weather was good
with exception of a couple
of cold snaps but all told the
milder winter months made
for much better retailing all around.
YOU can always tell how things
will be in the industry by gauging the
attendance and buying at the trade
shows. This year has brought some
consolidation of shows but for the
most part attendance figures were
strong and buying numbers consistent
with last year.
WITH so many retailers adding or
expanding their online businesses
we’ve seen tighter negotiating between
suppliers and buyers as the margins
have to be trimmed to be competitive
with online sellers. There were quite a
few furious negotiations I saw at the
last trade show. Almost akin to the old
middle east marketplace, but with a
little less shouting!
WITH the nicer weather coming
more shoppers will be pushing aside
their keyboards and heading out to
has to excel. If you have
the same winter goods and
are just dusting them off
or moving your displays
around you are not going to
have a good sales season.
Instead, follow the lead of
the big box stores and spruce up your
sales floor and displays. Add new colors
for the new season, new signage. Most
important of all, new merchandise!
MANY of the big box stores have
closed or are downsizing. For a small
business like yours this should be
viewed as opportunity to fill the void.
ONE of the advantages of being an
independent retailer is the ability to
move quickly and efficiently with our
merchandise. There are few big chains
that can update merchandise as
quickly as we can. So take advantage of
that. With many wholesalers offering
low or no minimum orders and as little
as one or two pieces at a time you need
to capiatlize on that.
FILL your store with a big variety of
styles, colors and items that will make
you stand out from the crowd and get
shoppers through the doors!

the marketplace and are quickly becoming the replacement for traditional
cigarettes. When you see the country’s top tobacco companies buying big
stakes in vape and marijuana companies you know that this is going to
be the product to watch.
BUYING smart is one of the keys to making money in the vape industry.
Getting the right supplier who has the best prices and selection will be
the ke to your success.

in the world and has wholesaled internationally for the last 12 years. New

Shake Up In The Kids Marketplace
THERE is a great deal of news in the children’s marketplace this past month. Children’s clothing
retailer Gymboree is selling its brand to The Childen’s Place and its Janie and Jack line to Gap Inc.
THE Children’s Place is set to pay $76 million for the rights to Gymboree and the Crazy 8 brand, and
assume a contract with Zeavion Holding which acquired Gymboree;s Play & Music business back in 2016,
according to bankruptcy court proceedings. A rival of Gymboree, the Children’s Place has almost 1000
stores throughout the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico. This acquisition will squash the rivalry and change
the playing field.
GAP is going to pay $38 million for the high-end children’s fashion line Janie & Jack and its online
business and leases to its stores in addition to other business assets including customer files based on
bankruptcy filings.
THE San Francisco based Gymboree filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy stating it would close about 800
Gymboree and Crazy 8 stores in the USA and Canada. When they filed they had planned on running the
Janie & Jack line and its Gymboree online platform.
BUT things change and getting Gap to pay $38 million seems like a great prospect for the company
to pursue.
THIS deal comes close to Gap’s announcement that it would spin off Old Navy into its own company
and close about 230, or half of its Gap stores over the next couple of years.
AND so it goes. Less selection for consumers and more vacant stores at shopping centers. Who’s the
winner in this round?
Stores Capitalizing on Pet Owners
PETS are the most influential when it comes to getting control of the larger parts of the household
budget. These furry friends may not speak but they sure know how to motivate their owners to spend on
them!
A survey that was done after this year’s Valentines Day sales showed that shoppers increased their
Valentine’s Day pet spending more than 27% over 2018. One in five consumers said they were buying
something for their pet, translating to a total of $886 million in sales for the holiday.
VALENTINE’S Day is just one isolated measure of how much consumers are spending to indulge their
pets using their wallets. Americans are estimated to have spent over $72 Billion on their pets in 2018, as
compared with $43 Billion a mere ten years earlier. And this doesn’t stop as these same pet owners would
not buy a house if it did not meet the needs of their pets.
THIS pet clout is likely to grow as pets become more widely accepted as members of the family and
replacements for human children, The pets are integral to their owners lifestyles. Ranging from nutrition
specific foods to dog cams to app-conncted feeding bowls and more, pet products are fueling an industry
that is now three times greater than the children’s toy industry.
SALES in this category continue to increase with the number of pet owning households exceeding
those with childen - 84.6 million vs 52.8 million. Most retailers have been jumping on the pet bandwagon
including Saks Fifth Avenue that sells “smart” pet bowls that monitor consumption, sneakers for your
pets, expensive dog toys and supplies, and of course clothing. From the high end at Saks to Home Depot
the pet industry is where the money is. Make sure that your store has a section for pets so you do not miss
out on the money train.

GUERRILLA ADVERTISING TRICKS & TACTICS
Continued from last issue ...
Don’t Turn Off the Engine Just
Because You’re Off the Ground
Even when you have loyal advocates working
for you and ads pulling for you, advertising
your business can’t stop. When a young reporter
asked William Wrigley during the heyday
of his chewing gum empire why he
continued to do so much advertising, the magnate
responded, “Just because we’re in the air
doesn’t mean we’re going to shut off the engine.”
But how do you know how much to invest in
advertising? First, it must be large enough to
achieve the desired objective, according to Augustino
Turner who wrote “Cost-Effective Advertising”
for the May 1989, Small Business
Reports. Here are some of the guidelines that
Turner set up.
1.HISTORICAL METHOD. Based on projected
sales, this method increases or decreases
the previous year’s budget by a given percentage
or dollar amount.
2. FIXED-SUM METHOD. Determine how
much to spend based on a certain amount for
each product sold. If you allocated 50¢ for each
unit, and you plan to sell 200,000, the ad budget
would be $10,000.
when the product is a large-ticket item (profit
margin of 25 to 50%.) Allocate no less than 3 to
6% of sales for commercial or industrial products.
4. AFFORDABLE METHOD. The ad budget
equals the funds remaining after all other expenses
are budgeted.
5. COMPETITIVE METHOD. Firms using this
tactic try to match or outspend their competitors.
6. PROFIT MARGIN METHOD. Multiply
projected sales by the company’s gross margin
percentage. Multiply that by the average advertising-to-gross-profit
ratio in the industry.
7. SALES FORCE-TO-ADVERTISING
METHOD. This is based on the cost of maintaining
a sales force in relation to the amount
of sales it generates. If the company spends
$20,000 on a sales force to generate 80% of its
business, it should be willing to spend an additional
$50,000 on advertising to generate 20%
of sales.
Turner cautions businesses to realize
these are parameters for setting a budget.
They should be balanced with the
desired results for the ad program.
3. PERCENTAGE-OF-SALES METHOD. Allocate
no less than 5 to 8% of projected sales

TOP SELF-MARKETING SECRETS
Advertising Tricks & Tactics
1. Don’t play the saturation game like the big
guys do; use the sharpshooter approach and
concentrate on those media with the highest
concentration of your target audience.
2. Use advertising, not publicity, when you
must control the message and timing.
3. If you have a service in which Yellow Pages
and classified ads are appropriate, place the
bulk of your advertising dollars there.

6. Use an outrageous offer to gain the foot
traffic you need.
7. Write an advertorial – which uses the art of
storytelling – to let readers see how your
product can improve their lives.
8. Don’t make customers
work to get in touch with you.
9. Spread the word by
disciplining advocates
who will sell your
product for you.
4. Your ad must convey that you are the best.
5. Hire freelancers who once worked for the
big agencies to be on your creative team.
10. Determine an
advertising budget that is
in balance with your desired
results for the ad program.

A Plan for All Seasons
IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
GOING, YOU MIGHT NOT GET THERE
Why would we leave information on planning
at the end of our articles? We didn’t want to
lose you. Developing a plan to market and promote
yourself or your business takes time, effort,
and a dedication that most career climbers,
new entrepreneurs, or busy, established businesses
think they don’t have. But without a
map to guide you to your ultimate destination,
treacherous roadblocks and time-consuming
detours can keep you from reaching your goals.
Try not to look at planning as an obligatory to
do, but as a way to solve tangible problems like
improving cash flow, generating new business,

overcoming ill will, and
meeting customer deadlines.
Think of it as a way
to solve problems before
they arise. Be proactive.
Don’t leave your life or
the success of your business
to chance.
Bill Cantor, who heads the New York City executive
search firm the Cantor Concern, advocates
planning to his career seekers. “A good
record and competence are tremendously important
but will not guarantee your success,”
he says. “After you have decided what you
want to do and are on your way to attaining
those goals, you must make a conscious effort
to improve and advance yourself. No one else
can do it for you.”

Discover why Diamond Veneer puts to shame the common CZ for it’s genuine Diamond Feel and Look! Why Buy Diamonds?
We are introducing the revolutionary process of treating Cubic Zirconia with a veneer of carbon diamond particles, crystallizing around
the entire stone resulting in a flawless “G” color on the diamond color scale. This vaporization process under extreme heat and pressure
conditions significantly increases (five times) the fire, refraction, and durability of the CZ as a real diamond at a fraction of the cost.
The main advantage of this Concept is the fact that DIAMOND VENEER blurred the main differences between real Diamonds and the
CZ, to a point of absolute no recognition. The fact that the CZ is no longer white, now even professional jewelers lost their expert eye
advantage recognizing DIAMOND VENEER as fakes!
This revolutionary Coating concept allows women (and Man) to wear the
DIAMOND VENEER jewelry without worries of being detected as wearing fake! It’s a CZ on Steroids.

Planning doesn’t stop once you open your
business, close the deal, or earn the promotion.
It’s a constant process that demands concentration
and hard work, but the payoff is worth it.
By applying the planning techniques that sophisticated
public relations and marketing professionals
use to position their company,
promote their cause, or sell their product, you
can improve your business, advance your career,
and improve other facets of your life.
Get Away to Get Perspective
Nobody really has time to plan; you must make
time for it. One of the best ways to plan for
your business is to get away from the day-today
routine and distractions. Go to a quiet
park, reserve a meeting room or a hotel suite,
borrow a backyard with a pool
from a neighbor, or rent a timeshare
cabin in the mountains.
Trish and Will Hunter, a husband-and-wife
speaking team and authors of Life Enrichment,
check themselves into a bayfront resort at the
end of each fiscal year to review their performance
and to plan for the ensuing year. They
started this practice years ago when each of
them was working for separate companies.
Then, it was a time to look at how they had
saved and spent their investments.
Today, they
not only look at their
personal finances but
also the finances of their
joint speaking business.

Along with spreadsheets and bank statements,
the Hunters bring another important piece of
paper that they call their PACT (A Promise to
Accept Commitment Together.) It’s a one-ortwo-sentence
proclamation of a goal the two
have agreed to previously. The Hunters began
making PACTs more than 20 years ago, when
they decided to marry. That first PACT read,
“To work on it for as long as it was worth it.”
“We wrote that commitment statement to one
another on a tiny piece of paper, rolled it up
tightly, tied it with a piece of Trish’s hair, and
stored it in her jewelry box,” says Will. “It’s our
most valued possession.”
Today, the Hunters have several new PACTs.
When they embarked on their career as public
speakers, the couple created a PACT that read,
“We commit to becoming profitable
and realizing the goals
we have declared for our book
and professional speaking career.
This activity of financial,
mental, physical, and spiritual
resources will be the focus of
our lives until April 1988,
when we will evaluate our
progress.” On April 30, the Hunters unscrolled
the PACT and realized that they had made
enough progress to commit to another 6
months, and after that, another year.
“The most important piece of business we attend
to at our annual planning retreat is to unscroll
last year’s PACT to see if we are on track
and to determine if we are still willing to commit
to the spirit of it,” says Trish. continued...

“The PACT gives us perspective by letting us
see how far we’ve come. It also helps us to refocus
on the intent of our work and spurs us on
to greater heights. Throughout the year when
we’re caught up in traveling to speak and deadlines
for writing books and producing tape albums,
we remember our PACT and we find
new reason and motivation to keep moving forward.
With a PACT, you are willing to commit
to go beyond your fear and self-doubt.”
Eight years ago, the Hunters also began mdyear
evaluations as well. “During the year, we
become involved in so many things that this
serves as a moment of recommitment,” says
Will. “We make the evaluation fun, by going
out of town if we can and really making it a
time to congratulate ourselves for our progress.
And it seems that the week after our evaluation,
things immediately begin to happen! A
PACT is a higher thought than a goal; it’s a
broad-based commitment.”
As partners in life and business, Trish and Will
are fortunate to have each other to share
dreams. Don’t try to plan alone. You need the
synergy that comes from brainstorming sessions
with others who care about your success.
Ask your spouse, business
partner, or key managers
to join you in a
planning session. Or invite
your advisory board
members, friends, or colleagues
who have invested
money in your
venture.

“The idea behind planning is to clarify objectives
for yourself, and it obviously involves
others who have to buy into the plan, and need
to see the big picture,” says Fred Pryor, CEO of
Pryor Resources, Inc., in Kansas City, Missouri,
and founder of Fred Pryor Seminars. “When
you plan with others, you will be able to get
perspective on important issues that were in
your blind spot. They serve as objective consultants
who will force you to answer tough
questions about what you have in mind. They
can help you determine if your thinking is clear
and scrutinize your plan of action.”
Pryor says that no matter how long your plan –
one year, five years, or ten years – it’s essential
to be flexible. “Long-range goals can be vague,
but the closer they get – say within a year or
two – the more refined they must be,” says
Pryor. “Investing too much time to design a
plan for more than a few years away from the
present moment isn’t wise. Too much is subject
to change. But being very specific about what
you plan to do this month and in 6 months is
essential.”
By specific, Pryor
even means including
details such as
seminars you plan to
attend, books you
want to read, and
new degrees you
want to pursue. “Allocating
time to personal
growth and
development is essential,”
he says.

To get the planning juices flowing, get away
from the day-to-day pressures. You’ll be surprised
how much more creative and impartial
you can be when you are in a new environment
and surrounded by people who have dedicated
the day or weekend to focus on one thing.
You’ll also foster visionary ideas if you allow
this time of planning to be one in which people
have fun and feel comfortable – both in dress
and communication. Let your planning group
know that this is a no-holds-barred time, during
which they can speak freely about the direction
of the company and its future.
As the leader of the pack, come prepared with
some tools that will spur free thinking. Bring a
flip chart, easel and colored pens, or an overhead
projector, transparencies, and felt-tip
markers. Write down your goals and the specific
ideas that your planning group comes up
with to help you meet them. Appoint a secretary
to record ideas to take back to the office. If
you have access to a portable computer, keyboarding
input makes for easy reading when
you return to the office and saves the time of
transcription.

Catherine Gauthier-Smith, owner of Intellisearch,
a strategic management consulting
firm, has put together a small board of directors
to help guide her key business decisions. Two
longtime business colleagues – the chairman of
a bank and the chief financial officer of a Los
Angeles corporation – who know and trust
Catherine give their time to help her succeed.
“There are 2 main reasons I have a board of directors
– one is legal and one is practical,”
Catherine explains. “Since Intellisearch is a corporation,
I must
have a board of directors
that meets
regularly. If I operate
without a

a corporation, which serves to shield me from
the liabilities of the company. If someone were
to sue, they would sue the corporation, and it
would be more difficult to obtain a judgment
against me personally.”
“More importantly, my board doesn’t just rubber-stamp
my decisions. They take an active
role in asking me why I am hiring, increasing
my overhead, or going into debt. Recently
when I sought to increase a line of credit to finance
growing receivables, the board asked to
see my financial analysis showing how it
would be repaid. Presenting projections to such
seasoned executives kept me from going headlong
into debt without serious consideration. I
knew what I was getting into and how I would
get out. My board members take their responsibilities
very seriously.”

FORUM WORKSHOP
Finding individuals to become board of director
members isn’t always easy, since they hold
a certain amount of liability for corporate action.
Another alternative is to assemble an advisory
board where the only thing at stake is
friendship.
Members can be relatives, friends, and colleagues
who have helped formulate your ideas;
mentors who have offered advice over the
years; other noncompeting business owners
that you admire; bankers and other investors
who have loaned you money; and even media
contacts you have made. While, as a small business
owner, you can’t afford to pay these individuals,
you can provide them with an
opportunity to meet other key people in the
community, to add an advisory board position
to their resume, and to learn new business
pointers from others. Plus, you can return the
favor by offering to serve in their company or
community organization in some way.
➥
➥
So as not to take advantage
of their generosity, hold no
more than 4 advisory board
meetings a year. Serve a
meal, have a written
agenda, and be open to any
comments you get – even
those you don’t want to
hear. Follow up after each
meeting with thank you
notes or telephone calls to
express your appreciation.
And always ask how you
can assist them.

Throughout the year, keep the advisory board
apprised of your major business moves. Send
them copies of pertinent reports, sales figures,
new product introductions, and media coverage.
But don’t inundate them. Make this material
easy for them to file by giving them a 3-ring
binder with your company’s name on it and
sending material that has been 3-hole drilled.
Or send the material in file folders with the indexing
tab already written for them.

he and his partner, Dick Daniels, formed an advisory

with our advisory board quarterly to discuss
our business’ growth. These individuals are all
visionaries, and they are ambassadors for our
company.
In addition, Berkman & Daniels keeps other
key people apprised of their company’s message.
“We have friends and clients who are

Making friends with people in key positions in
business, politics, cultural and community organizations
is a business basic that has been instrumental
in Berman & Daniels’ success. Of
course, it starts with doing an excellent job that
earns the leads and results in valuable thirdparty
endorsements,” says Berkman.
Plan with Your Key
Audiences in Mind
Every step you take toward fulfilling your marketing
plan is calculated with your customers
or clients in mind. To make your planning precise,
identify the various people on whom the
success of your business depends. These people
make up subsets called “publics.” Here are a
number of publics that a business might be trying
to please.
• advisory board or board of directors
• potential customers or clients
(who can also be divided into more
precise subsets by age, occupation,
interests and/or income level)
• current clients
• the community
• vendors
• colleagues
• constituents
Don’t try to lump all of your various audiences
into one amorphous “public.” That’s how amateurs
plan. Remember, each subset has specific
needs and desires. What is affecting one may
not be a concern to another. Your marketing
plan will include a variety of action strategies
geared to these specific groups. continued...

The Building Blocks
of a Written Plan
As with all goals, you’ll have a better chance of
fulfilling your marketing goals if you commit
them to paper. Don’t just think great thoughts
or espouse lofty goals. Be willing to put them in
black and white and sign in blood. Getting this
type of information down in writing forces you
to think through some pretty tough questions
about your career path or business. It will help
you evaluate not only where you are going, but
where you are and what it will take to claim
that prized brass ring.
The following are essential elements the pros
use in developing marketing and public relations
plans. Adapt them for your own purposes.
We credit the Public Relations Society of
America and Professors Glen Broom, Ph.D.,
and David Dozier, Ph.D., of the Journalism Department
at San Diego State University for their
guidance in helping us understand the planning
concept. Their pure public relations planning
guides have been adapted here for the
needs of our target public – readers of Self-Marketing
Secrets. We trust however, that though
simplified, the spirit of the intent is not lost.
The public relations/marketing
plan we suggest uses a
goal/objective/action strategy
format. Once you get the
hang of it, it will help tremendously
to plan for and monitor
your business’ success.

We’ve outlined the following steps:
1. Problem (or Opportunity) Statement
Remember we said that marketing and public
relations solves problems. Your plan should
begin by outlining problems or opportunities
with your significant publics, such as employees,
investors, and media. Write this statement
in the present tense so that it is active and dynamic,
and describe your current situation in
specific and measurable terms. Don’t make
judgments or place blame. Be as neutral as possible.
And don’t try to imply a solution – that
comes later. The problem statement should be
one paragraph of several sentences that answer
the following questions:
• What is the source of concern or the opportunity?
(a brand new business, the need to
attract new clients, a tainted image, quality
of work that has suffered, a great product
but only a limited number of people in a
specific geographical area know about it,
a lack of name recognition.)
• Where is this a problem? (in your city,
throughout the country.)
• When is it a problem? (at the first of the
year, around the holidays, whenever we
introduce a new product.)
• Who is involved or affected? (clients,
customers, employees, vendors.)

Here are a few sample problem statements:
PROBLEM 1: The ABC Company is a new
weight-management program for executives
that concentrates on learning how to eat in the
real world. That emphasis needs to be communicated
to executives in a way that differentiates
the program from other diet programs,
such as Nutri-System, Jenny Craig, Weight
Watchers, and the Diet Center. Ten to fifteen
clients per month are needed for the first 3
months to meet overhead and expenses.
PROBLEM 2: DGF
Educational Seminars
is working to
attract busy professionals
– doctors, accountants,
insurance
Page 66 APRIL 2019 | RETAILERS FORUM MAGAZINE
agents – to its seminars and must create a need
that will make these individuals take time out
of their schedules to attend. Current seminars
are attracting 50 to 75 people; 80 to 100 are desired
to generate the necessary profit margin.
PROBLEM 3: Only 10% of the XYZ restaurant’s
business is return customers, resulting in a continual
need to spend marketing and public relations
dollars to attract tourists and new
clientele. The restaurant must increase customer
satisfaction to result in a 30% customer
return rate over 6 months (a 20% increase.)
PROBLEM 4: The budget is $20,000 short of the
amount needed to launch the new product at
the scheduled kickoff event on June 1. Key investors
need to be attracted to the project.

Problem statements are more meaningful and
useful when they contain concrete measurements
of the problem, such as the number of
customers or clients needed, the percent of increased
business needed, or the amount of
money needed. Speak in quantifiable terms, not
gross generalities, such as “More business or
capital is needed.”
2. Situation Analysis
While the problem statement gives a concise
description of the situation, the situation analysis
is a summary of all that is known about your
company’s situation, the forces operating on it,
and those publics involved or affected by it. It
contains all of the background information that
has brought your company to where it is today.
This part of your marketing/public relations
plan illustrates, in detail, the meaning of the
problem statement. Through analysis of the situation,
you are able to clearly and specifically
define and refine the problem statement.
The situation analysis includes a thorough
summary of the perceptions and actions of key
individuals and a history of your business. It
might also include
an overview of
your communications
to all of your
publics. This helps
to identify policies,
procedures, and activities
that impact
your business and
its bottom line.

It also provides information on events and conditions
outside of your company, such as the
competition and the economy. State how each
of your audiences is involved or affected by
these conditions. You must
know what each group
thinks and wants in order
to set meaningful objectives
and develop action
strategies. Put simply, the
situation analysis, takes off
the blinders and helps you
see what should be seen.
All this means that you probably need to conduct
some research before you begin outlining
ways to meet your objectives. Do you know
who your existing and potential clients/customers
are? Have you asked them to fill out
brief surveys to find out who is buying your
product/service? What are their ages, income
levels, interests? Where do they live, work, and
play? Why do they buy your product/service?
How do they feel about issues that impact your
business? How do they get their information?
What are their opinions about the product/service
you are planning to provide?
Don’t assume or second guess. Too many people
waste marketing dollars by guessing rather
than asking what their publics want.
With specific information in hand, you can set
objectives for each public and develop strategies
to achieve them. Take time to analyze the
marketplace so that you can set realistic goals.
Avoid overpromising and underdelivering.

Writing a situation analysis helps to determine
your position in the marketplace and gives you
a benchmark from which to work. Even if you
don’t review your situation analysis until 6
months or a year later, when you update your
marketing plan, you will be able to compare
where you are now to where you were. Seeing
how much you’ve accomplished is reward
enough for writing it.
Here is an abbreviated situation analysis for an
employees-assistance company that provides
counseling services to a company’s employees
for such things as substance abuse, marital or
family problems, legal problems, or illnesses.
LMN Company, an employers-assistance company
in Anytown, offers a variety of services
beyond the traditional employee-assistance
program benefits, including: 6 monthly visits
per employee (most offer 3); legal, financial,
and health insurance assistance; and a 24-hour
help line. The services are offered at a lower
price than the competition. In addition, LMN
Company offers management training and
post-traumatic counseling. LMN also will tailor
services to meet the needs of a contracting firm.
Sue Jones purchased
LMN Company and
took over the accounts
of 12 existing clients. In
2 years, the company
attracted 6 new accounts.
It wanted to
add 2 new accounts per
month over the next 6
months.

Competition for the corporate employee benefit
dollar has increased. That, combined with the
sharp increase in the cost of health insurance,
has caused a decrease in the amount of money
an employer is willing to spend on ancillary
health-related services. Current competition includes
123 firms and 567 consultants. Research,
in the form of a questionnaire sent to 100 companies,
indicated that
LMN Company had
name recognition among
human resource decision
makers. 62% had heard
of the company, 21% had
not, and 17% could not
remember. Monthly contract
costs and the number
of visits per
employee per year were
the two primary considerations human resource
directors use when selecting an employee-assistance
firm.
3. Opportunities and Threats
State, in laundry-list form, what is working in
your favor and what is not. What has made this
an opportune time or situation for you to start,
expand, or aggressively market your specific
business? What impending danger looms out
there that you need to recognize? Making a list
of these types of pros and cons forces you to
take a hard look at the opportunities you face
and the obstacles you must overcome.
Identify whether your product/service is
unique, how it differs from others, and what
kind of need or desire your business meets.

FORUM WORKSHOP
forumworkshop
Outline the type of competition you face and
any guilt-by-association you must overcome. Is
the market saturated? Has something been reported
in the media that will make this a particularly
good or bad time to launch or promote
your business or product/service?
The following are some threats and opportunities
faced by Dr. X, a plastic surgeon opening a
new office in a new city:
THREATS
• Five other plastic surgeons have established
practices in the same medical office park
as Dr. X
• It takes time to build relationships and gain
referrals from other physician specialists
• Questionable advertising techniques by
some cosmetic surgeons have made many
consumers leery of promotional campaigns
conducted by physicians
OPPORTUNITIES
• Dr. X has superb educational and private
practice credentials
• Dr. X is a plastic surgeon with strengths in
reconstructive, microsurgery, and cosmetic
surgery and will be able to build his practice
with a varied patient load.
• Studies show that
increasing numbers of
business people, both men
and women, are seeking
cosmetic surgery in order
to advance in their careers;
so the patient base for this
medical specialty is
increasing.

4. Goals
The goals are the most important statement in
the marketing and/or public relations plan.
They outline what you hope to accomplish over
a specific time period. Goals are the payoff and
must also be stated in specific time period.
Make them do-able, not too modest or too ambitious.
State not only what you plan to achieve
but also by what specific date. Be sure the outcome
can be measured.
Goals statements generally involve the change
or maintenance of behavior of your target
publics. A good goal statement includes:
• Your target audience(s)
• The desired behavior
• The amount of change you desire, stated in
quantifiable terms, such as percentages
• The time frame in which
you estimate the goal can
reasonably be achieved
• The geographic area where
all of this will take place
Here are a few sample goal statements:
1. Increase the number of diamond ring
sales during the winter and spring months
(before summer weddings) from 10 to 15
per month at the center city mall outlet.
2. Increase the number of 4-color printing
jobs in the new shop by 15% between
January 1 and June 30.
3. Establish a client base of 20 biweekly
customers at the Nail Emporium by January 1.
4. Obtain 5 new business leads a month that
will generate $100,000 monthly insurance sales
by December 31 in the metropolitan area.

5. Publics
Your plan generally focuses on one or more
publics. Here you precisely define each public.
Who are these people? How is this public characterized?
What are its demographics and psychographics
– including age, sex, lifestyle,
media usage, and political affiliation? What is
the relationship between the public and the organization/program?
Why is the public’s relationship
with the business important? How is
that public involved in the business/program?
Publics for an accounting firm
would include the following:
• Small businesses without
in-house accounting
• Private citizens interested in
tax planning and filing services
• Bankers and financial planners who
serve as potential referral sources
• Current clients
6. Objectives
Now, break each goal down into measurable
objectives by your publics in order of importance.
Include a time frame, as you did in the
goal statement.
Just as goals define the overall outcome for the
entire marketing/public relations program, objectives
state desired outcomes for each of your
publics. You should have a goal statement for
each defined public, and each public may have
2 or more objectives. By reaching the objectives
for each group, the overall goals of the program
are achieved.

7. Action Strategies
At last you’re ready for action. List all of the
possible moves you must make to achieve each
objective, thereby meeting the goal. Unfortunately,
this is where many people start their
planning. But you really cant’ determine the action
until you have conducted initial search,
identified the problem, analyzed the situation,
and determined quantifiable goals and objectives.
This is where you designate the specific steps
you will take to meet each objective, such as
local, national, or trade journal media relations;
speaker’s bureau campaign; or direct mail campaign.
You will also identify what you will
have to produce – news releases, brochures, flyers,
newsletters, direct mail pieces, etc.
Don’t Forget to Evaluate
Evaluation means measuring how well the objectives
were achieved for each activity, and the
goal, overall. The smart self-marketer builds
evaluation methods into the plan so that all the
eggs are not in one basket if a specific action
strategy flops.
Use hindsight to critically analyze
your efforts and to help
guide you to an even brighter
future. That’s why politicians
use follow-up polls after debates
on the campaign trail –
and that’s why they frequently
change their tactics
midway. continued...
RETAILERS FORUM MAGAZINE | APRIL 2019 Page 77

FORUM WORKSHOP
forumworkshop
Here are some questions to ask yourself
to help grade your efforts.
• Did the message communicated meet the
needs and desires of the target publics?
• Were communications accurate and timely?
• Were there adverse reactions to
messages or actions?
• Did corrective actions help or hinder?
• Were staff and budget adequate
for the plan?
Time for an Attitude Adjustment
Once you’ve evaluated results, adjust your
plan, taking into consideration both positive
and negative evaluations. Use your evaluation
to improve future programs. Identify the goals
and objectives that will be the most difficult to
achieve. What are the consequences of not
achieving them? How might they be approached
next time to improve chances of success?
Explain how future programs might be
modified to reduce negative consequences and
undesired outcomes and to increase opportunities
for meeting your goals in the next round.
Whether you are
building a company
or advancing in
your career, don’t
leave anything to
chance. Know what
you want to do and
why. Then as Nike
says, “Just do it!”
