FY14 Recommendations"
32!FY14 Plan"
• Monitored and tracked performance throughout FY13; recommendations for the FY14 plan based on these findings.!
• Reallocations of funds to further optimize campaign resources and adapt to current trends for a strong and balanced media spend. (Main changes: decrease in online/print advertising, increase in SEM)!
• Center campaign on the Wild Alaska Flavor website, delivering ad impressions and driving traffic via appropriate context media.!
• Enhance site content to maximize search rankings, refresh content frequently, drive more traffic and create deeper consumer engagement with the brand.!
33!Food Network Primary Vehicle
for Impressions"
• Food Network advertising was our primary vehicle for impressions!• It reaches the right target audience and reaches them when they are
interested in food!• Visitors to the Food Network site are most looking for recipes!
• But we have delivered other key messages as well through this sponsorship!• We had featured content on the Food Network site which delivered key
messages as well, such as new John Ash videos!• Visitors to the Food Network site could get our message without ever
leaving the Food Network site, which is how the program was designed because some consumers prefer to stay on the site they are on and will not click through to another site for additional content!
• However, Food Network is not the most efficient vehicle for solely driving traffic to the wildalaskaflavor.com website!• That appears to be SEM if we are evaluating on a pure-cost basis!• Therefore, this is one reason we are recommending an increase in spending
on SEM for FY14!

43!FY14 Budget Recommendations"
FY14 budget to remain at $1.8M with reallocations to to maximize efforts in top performing areas. ""• Two main changes:!
• Slight reduction in print and online budgets.!• Increase in search engine marketing (SEM).!
• Additional changes:!• Continuous site updates, content enhancement for improved search results.!• Facebook advertising removed -- to be managed by Communications
program. !• More fully funding event support in FY14 (FY13 funding provided only
approximately 40% of the needed funding).!• Addition of a Google Display Advertising line item.!• Small provision for more frequent reporting & tracking to identify opportunities
for campaign optimization.!
44!
45!SEM Goals"
• Drive traffic to the WAF site – linking to the most relevant content for each user search.!
• Continue to keep #1-2 position in sustainable seafood via paid search.!
• Apply increased funds from online advertising to increase emphasis of key messaging areas targeted in FY13.!
• Increase funding for higher CTR vehicles.!• Expand paid search to include new categories.!• Utilize enhanced content strategy to increase organic, non-
paid search results for key areas.!• Tie-in to WAF Content/Themes.!
46!SEM Rationale"
• Will increase traffic to the site, lower visitor acquisition cost.!• Provide highly valuable real-time feedback, market intelligence
and consumer insights.!• Allow us to better convert searches into clicks to our website.!• Provide guidance for writing and editing content to maintain
consumer relevance.!• Opportunity to help drive retail traffic, tie-ins with local
retailers, possibly timed with start of various seasons, geo-targeted.!
• Align with primary content seasons (healthy, grilling); and further segmented into sub-categories such as Cinco de Mayo, CIF, Lent, etc.!
47!SEM Plan"
• We want to expand the number of terms we are targeting!• Our data shows that for FY13 a host of other terms
could be used drive traffic to the site!• SEM gives us data on the search terms and trends in
search that allows us to generate content that is most relevant to what users are searching for nationally!• Certain terms, where there is heavy competition for first or
second page viewing will likely require higher bids in order to be effective!
48!Why We Recommend an SEM Increase"
• Limited SEM campaign in FY13!• Just 2.78% of the budget…that produced 11% of traffic!• Ran March – September !• There are many other searches being done using terms that could logically
involve Alaska Seafood (“Fast, healthy meals” – nowhere does this include “seafood,” “salmon,” “cod,” “crab,” “Alaska,” “sustainable,” etc., yet we are a perfect match for a consumer searching for information on fast, healthy meals)!
• SEM achieved good results in FY13!• For the keyword of “Wild Alaska Flavor,” we generated an outstanding click-
through-rate (CTR) of 21.99% vs. the national average of 3.6%!• It is important to stay on top (page 1 or 2 of search results)!
• Search is by far the most effective if you are on the first 2 pages (please reference stats on the following page)!
• Not participating in many key search areas currently!• Our recommendation to increase is in line with the national shift in advertising mix
toward more digital/search!• We also believe paid search shows promise as an element in support of driving
traffic to key Retail program partners!
49!Search Rank Stats"
• According to a June 2013 study performed by Chitika Insights, a website with the first position in the search results contributed to 33% of the traffic, compared to 18% for the second position!
• The data also shows that the first position on any page of results contributed to more traffic than the second position in each respective page!
• Sites listed on the first Google search results page generate 92% of all traffic from an average search!
• When moving from page one to two, the traffic drops by 95% (from 91.5% to 4.8%)!
50!SEM Campaign Progress"
• Google search data on the search term “sustainable seafood”:!• At the beginning of the SEM campaign, we appeared on
page 10 of Google search results!• After the campaign began and throughout the campaign,
we appeared on page 1 of Google search results!• After campaign completion (as of Oct. 16th), we now appear
on page 8 of Google search results!
• Spend during the campaign for “sustainable seafood” was just $1,386.13!• An inexpensive way to be at least considered when
someone searches on this topic!
