Assessment and Evaluation
In order to be sure this integrated marketing campaign has achieved its goals, testing needs to be done on our target market. I believe the greatest wealth of information can be gathered from administering the following assessments:
Surveys: An intercept survey can be implemented anytime throughout the course of the marketing campaign as to decide if those within the target market “understand a concept and, if they do, whether they like it.” (Duncan, 2005)
Focus Groups: One or more focus groups would be helpful in determining if there are any “red flags” in the decided upon campaign and, if so, how to go about fixing them. We can also learn a great deal about what customers think of the product “category, competing brands, and message strategies.” (Duncan, 2005)
Tracking Study: By administering a tracking survey we will be able to “measure brand awareness, trial, repeat, and customer satisfaction with a brand and its competitors.” (Duncan, 2005) Also, because these tests are ongoing, we will be able to see the change in attitudes and purchase behaviors from before the implementation of the campaign all the way through the after the campaign has run its course.
