Cars are the most popular transport in Australia, it has high market potential. The
industry has strong sales of new cars; consumers change to prefer affordable,
fuel-efficient imported vehicles (IBIS World, 2015). There are 13.3 million registered
a vehicle in Australia and 2 in 3 Australians own a car (ABC NEWS, 2014).
Importantly, women are more likely to use car compare to men (ABS, 2014). Besides,
Franchise (2016) believe the growth of electric cars can motivate people purchase
new car, so the chance of people creates a personal number plates will also increase.
SWOT analysis will cover the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats while
PEST analysis will cover the possible influences of PPQ, which both will includes in
appendix 1.
Product Analysis
PPQ launching the Glam Plate range, which includes leopard and diamond plates. The
plates designed to the Car-Dashians who like to stand out through lifestyle and
fashion look. It can also be a medium to express their personality and femininity on
road. PPQ (2016) believes that the plates are a trend they wear every day that create
by a designer. PPQ use a wide range of media selection includes Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, YouTube and own website.
As PPQ are the only body that sells plates in Queensland, there are no direct
competitors. However, other things that the target audience will spend money on are
the indirect competitors of PPQ. Category of Make Up and Clothing will be the
biggest indirect competition in women group (Weaver, 2012). Most women will spend
around $150 to $400 on clothing every month and spend most of the money on
cosmetics products annually (IBIS World, 2016). Mclntyre (2010) indicated these two
categories both used social media, outdoor advertising and TV as their main media
advertising.
The media imperative shows that a significant amount of time is used in accessing
online content and listening to radio streams. Compared to TV usage although it holds
a higher percentage it is however not as likely to reach as much of the target audience
due to preference of media. Evidently the media frequency of radio and Internet is
triple the index preference of TV. Therefore, it is more suitable to priorities on
Internet and radio channels to achieve a higher reach.
Base on Roy Morgan data (2015), it shows that the target audiences are more likely to
be noticed and being stylish, which means that they are concern about image and want
to be the center of attention. In fact, 91% of the target audiences perceive to purchase
items that bring style and quality. Therefore, the media strategy will focus on PPQ can
help them express their self-confidence and self-belonging.
Insights
Car-Dashians love to show their persona and unique sense of style, therefore they will
acquire items, which convey this outlook to express their confidence being that center
of attention.
Media Objective
A high reach, low frequency campaign targeting young professional women 18-49
across a one-month continuity schedule.
The reason of using low frequency because PPQ is an established brand and there is
light competitive activity. Also, message of the advertising is simple and easy to
understand (tango, 2016). Besides, using high reach can help to expose the message to
a maximum amount of potential customer (Lane, 2016). Therefore, it can help to
increase the sales of the plates.
Media Strategy
Based on the insight, we want the target audience to know that PPQ can help them to
enhance their self-confidence and self-belonging. Not only be the center of attention,
but also become a fashion queen.
To develop a creative campaign, we will be using social media, outdoor billboard and
radio to launch the new product by using three ambassadors in various age groups. To
maximize the reach, we host a competition to attract people attention and create hype.
People need to upload a short and simple video of themselves and their plate (It can
be in different filming style such as, a girl driving her car and show her sexy and
confident look on the camera). Throughout the competition, the winners will be
chosen by PPQ, two for diamond and two for leopard. PPQ will be based on the
decoration, specialty and the meaning of the plate to decide. By ensuring the
campaign is unique and attractive, first the final winners will receive a free plate from
PPQ that design and decorate by them. Second, they have a chance to show
themselves in public and be the next top model for PPQs advertisement.
Post- Analysis
When the campaign comes to the end, post analysis will be helped to analyze the
success and failure or avoid the same mistakes in future campaign.
Radio
Radio will be the second media channels to advertise the product throughout
Queensland. Based on the media imperatives, 91.7% of young women listen to radio
while they are driving or having breakfast and 34% of them will listen over one to
three hours per day. Nova 106.9, Hit 105 and 97.3 are the most frequent radio
channels, and it will be announced during the breakfast and driving period, as the data
showed the highest population (Roy Morgan, 2015). Besides social media, radio is a
low production cost platform that requires less resource, since it is a local channel it is
useful to targeted national audience (Strategicmedia, 2011). People can listen to the
radio in anytime and anywhere, as it is easy to produce and post it quickly (TheWire,
2014). Radio is influential as they offer a live read, audience seem like they are
hearing from their friend, consequently, this increase credibility to the product. It not
only gives a power of sound, but also provides promotional opportunities to attract
people attention (Radio Results, 2016). The biggest disadvantage for radio would be
lack of visual appeal, it might be a limitation for the company (Kokemuller, 2016),
whereas audience can use of their imagination to create interest and awareness of the
product. To reach the maximum amount of customers, and prevent media wastage, the
frequency for Nova 106.9, Hit 105 and 97.3 will be three, two and two respectively.
Outdoor
Outdoor will be the last media channels to promote the product and indirectly interact
with the customers. The advertisements will be placed near the roadside and
Westfield shopping center, as it shown that the size will vary depending on the area.
For roadside will be used of big billboard- superlite and 24 sheets, as it shown in the
Roy Morgan data (2015) it has 68.8% of people see this billboard while they were
driving. There are five Westfield shopping centers in Queensland, they will all be
used of digital screens and it is the second highest place to advertise (55.8%). More
than 74% of consumers see billboards every day and half of them will have a strong
memory (Billboards Australia, 2016). By advertising on outdoor, it can reach mass
audience quickly, due to 24 hours per day people cannot switch the channel or turn a
page. At the result, audience will be viewed multiple times per week and have a hard
time to forget because of high visibility and reach (Cartmell, 2016). More importantly,
the size of the advertising has created a high attention grabbing from the audience
because they are creative, colorful and large (Dimmock, 2015). Although, outdoor
advertising can reach mass audience, audience might not be able to read and
understand the message within few seconds (Robertson, 2016). Also, outdoors
billboard have two biggest limitations, first it can only reach a limited area, and it
cant specifically reach the target audience. This can be a problem of media and
money wastage (Visual Posters, 2016). Outdoor cannot specifically targeted the target
audience, however, some people who might have a chance to buy the product, for
example, male can buy for their partner as a gift.
TVC
Television is one of the most powerful media platforms to promote, it can reach a
large audience within a short period (Richards, 2016) and it could convey the message
into sound, action and visual (Videotise, 2013). However, the cost for TVC is very
high and people always try to avoid any advertisement as possible (Gilani, 2016).
Audience need longer period to understand message retention.
