3. Strategic planning for IMC campaign
a. Profile the identified target market
We aim to target women from 18-25 years old living in HCMC and Hanoi. They are students and
officers in middle or upper class, who are busy and care about their appearance. Our focus is on
people who desire for the nutritious beverage that not only satisfy their thirst but also provide
necessary vitamins and minerals for their beauty. According to Vinaresearch (2013), most of
consumers in the target market usually drink juice about once a day or 2-3 times a week, in
average. They only buy 1 to 2 bottles once depending on their demands. Based on the
consumer trends (Nielsen 2012), they are more likely to purchase at the supermarket (increase
11% from 2011) such as Co.op Mart, BigC, Lottemart. There is also an increase in purchasing at
convenience stores such as Circle K, Family Mart.
b. Use relevant media
We aim to use various media to reach our target audience in this 12-month campaign.
First, the young adult nowadays is more connected with the Internet than other media
channels. Vietnamese consumers spend more than 2 hours using Internet every day (The
Statistics Portal 2013), much higher than before. According to Cimigo (2010), 86% of people
from the age 15-24 surf Internet at least once a week. 76% of them use the Internet via mobile
phone whenever they have wi-fi connection or 3G. Therefore, most of tactics in the campaign
will engage consumers by using the Internet. Furthermore, 87% of customers say that they will
find information about products in Google before purchasing and 56.8% searching at the official
website (Cimigo 2011). As a result, there will be not only a promotion in website but also paid
search and contextual ad when people access to some related pages such as Yan news or
Guu.vn. These are pages for young women updating some secrets of being beauty regularly. In
addition, mobile application is an effective tool to engage consumers as people aged 16-24
account for the fastest growing segment of smartphone users, with almost double the level of
growth in 2014, according to Vietnam briefing (2014).
Second, in this globalization era, social media is a vital media in any campaign that targets to
the youth. According to Kemp (2014), Vietnamese spends 2.4 hours per day using social media
on average. Specifically, Facebook accounts for 66.3% network shares for Vietnam social and
Youtube makes up for 73.4% (Cimigo 2011). Consequently, we also focus on conducting
campaign on social media such as updating information regularly, running contest or spreading
viral clips.
Third, in order to reach widely target audience and dramatize the products, we also
concentrate on advertising such as TVC, TVC in cinema, electronic ad in the mall as well as POP.
97% of Vietnamese households have TV at home (Gallup 2013) and they spend about 2.5 hours
watching TV every day, so TVC could reach the mass audience. Moreover, research shows that
about 70% of people from 16-24 years old go to the cinema at least once a month, especially
20% of them visit at least once a week. Young people often go to the cinema or malls with
friends or relatives (Vinaresearch 2012 ). Therefore, when they see the advertisements, they
tend to discuss about the product together, which create the conversations and impression.
We also use magazine as our advertising tool. 30% of people from 20-29 years old read
magazines at least once a week (TNS 2011) and the average time spend on magazines is about
48 minutes. Although newspaper has similar time spending (46 minutes), we aim to use
magazines because magazines have higher level of reproduction quality, especially for
advertising products. Furthermore, as magazine will reach larger and specific audience, we
could approach the right consumers in an economical way (Shimp 2010).
Finally, sales promotion is used as Vietnamese consumers love promotional programs such as
discounts, vouchers or consuming same but larger packs (Nielsen 2012). This tactic will
definitely provide special incentives to bring about immediate response from customers (Keith
2011) Furthermore, as pointing out before, women nowadays are more likely to purchase in
supermarkets more than wet markets. Therefore, POP at supermarkets could reach the target
audience. Paralleling with the increase of malls, the number of visitors at mall is significantly
rising. POP at big malls such as Nowzone, Crescent mall and Vincom will attract thousands of
attention every week.
c. Achieve communication synergy
With the slogan ‘Live a naked life’, our key message is: with 100% natural ingredients, Naked
juice could replace the cosmetics you need. We come up with the idea that it’s good for women
to be confident with their beauty; however, using cosmetics is not an excellent solution in long
term. The campaign is geared at raising awareness about being beautiful is not only based on
cosmetics and make-ups. Women need to have an eternal beauty, which is natural beauty and
comes from the healthy inside.
In order to achieve communication synergy, all IMC tools stick with the idea that being
beautiful is not about using cosmetics. The key visual in all advertising tools will demonstrate
that Naked juice could replace the cosmetics you often use. The visual will also be used in the
contextual advertisement and the decoration at the POP booth. For more details, there is an
interactive screen for women to play ninja fruit game. They will win when they collect as much
as natural ingredients that could use for maintaining beauty. If they choose cosmetics, they will
lose the game.
We also create the mobile application that allows users to capture their face as well as answer a
quiz about how much cosmetics they are using. Then the app calculates and predicts users’
appearance in the next 30 years, including the consultation to maintain your beauty.
Conducting the key message, we also create the event to emphasize that women are
encouraged to boost self-esteem when playing sports. They would not be afraid that sweat
would sweep away the cosmetics because Naked juice will help them to supplement vitamins
they need to recover (see part 4).
Furthermore, as we stimulate consumers to use natural ingredients, we conduct the contest
‘Where the beauty comes from’ to challenge people to create and submit a creative way of
using natural ingredients to improve their appearance. This contest will position Naked Juice as
a credible source to empower and enhance the beauty. We also update our websites and
Facebook page with some experts’ tips about using fruits and vegetables to be beautiful.
According to Chitty, Baker & Shimp (2008), in order to achieve a strong and unified brand
image, the coordination of media is essential. Then, we aim to connect our media vehicles
together to convey our key message in an effective way. For example, when customers buy a
Naked Juice bottle, they will get a code in a lid, which directs them to a bingo in our official
website. When they collect all the codes that finish a bingo, they could get two coupons to the
spa. Moreover, the prize for the winner at the POP is a catalogue. It contains tips of using
natural ingredients to maintain the beauty such as using potato to get rid of dark circles around
the eyes, or drinking tomato juice for the healthy skin. The catalogue also provides a link to the
website and FB page, where we post news and expert opinions about this issue. Another
example is the FB page and official website will be regularly updated with photos and news
from the events, clips from the contestants or predicted pictures from the mobile application.
The POP is also put at the event to promote the products.
d. Build customer relationships
To develop the positive and lasting impressions in the brand image, we will offer special
packaging on some special days such as Women day, Christmas and Tet. In addition, we believe
that with our contest, events and mobile app, we are engaging the consumers in the campaign.
Not be passive anymore, the consumers could be a part of our campaign. Understanding that
relationships have a short shelf life and customers are waiting for brands to connect with their
needs (Entrepreneur 2005), we are likely to create the place that they could discuss, comments
and freely contact with us. Also, two-way communication on FB when consumers could
comment, share and give their experiences on the experts’ opinions or contestants’
submissions.
e. Influence the target market’s behaviors
The final goal of IMC is to influence the behaviors of the target audience and encourage some
forms of behavioral response. First, we aim to have a bingo game not only to attract customers
to our websites but also to encourage them to share the lids with friends or relatives to win the
bingo faster. The prize for this mini-game is a couple of coupon to the spa, so this is the
incentive for them to buy and share products with friends. Second, for the sales promotion
program, we also have the bonus gifts. They will get the five small cups attached when buying
the big size bottle (64 Oz). This encourages consumers to share their favorite products with
their friends as well. According to Nielsen (2012), 92% of consumers trust recommendations
from people they know. Therefore, these tactics also help us to raise the brand awareness
faster and cheaper. Finally, the POP will also give them product trial. They could test and buy it
immediately.
4. Creative execution
We aim to use demonstration, metaphor, exaggeration and problem solving techniques to
develop our creative execution. The theme of execution sticks with the idea that Naked juice
could replace the cosmetics you often use. The print ad shows Naked Juice bottle combined
with cosmetics such as lipstick or powder pact. It is a metaphor that Naked Juice provides
enough necessary proteins, vitamins and minerals for your skin, your lips.
Furthermore, the TVC will tell a story about a girl being late for the office. She decides to rush
to the company. When she arrives, all cosmetics are destroyed by sweat and she has to spend
30 minutes to make up again. Therefore, the boss shouts at her and shows her the
appearance’s prediction of using lots of cosmetics in the next 30 years. Finally, the boss give her
a bottle of Naked Juice to supplement vitamins, minerals and some added boosts to get them
through a busy day or workout.
In addition, the event is conducted on the occasion of Vietnamese Women Day (October 20th)
at Le Van Tam Park (Ho Chi Minh City) and Hoan Kiem Lake (Hanoi) with the topic ‘We love
enthusiastic women’. Normally in this day, men will give some gifts to express love with the
women in their heart. However, in the globalization era, men are likely to love enthusiastic
people. Therefore, Naked Juice is encouraging women to show their confidence and strengths
without any fears of being ugly. There will be numerous activities and challenges at the event
for women to express themselves and Naked Juice is there to supplement what they need to
bring back the beauty.
Finally, the special packaging is only to create the impressions from consumers. For example,
we change the lid to the shape of a rose, a symbol for women. They will be sold in special days
such as Christmas, Women’s day with some wishes for the women only.
5. Media strategy
6. Budget
We aim to spend much on advertising as this media has the highest cost. For example, a
30-seconds spot on HTV7 and VTV3 at the evening may cost up to 45 million VND (TVAd
2014) and a full page color advertising on Elle magazine will cost about 70 million VND
(Elle n.d.,). Next, we would like to concentrate on Internet and social media because
they reach massive target audience and could create two-way communication that
effectively builds relationships with consumers. Although these tools are not expensive
as advertising, we spend 23% of our budget to develop our official website, contextual
ad as well as paid search. The next 15% is spent for sales promotion because of its
effectiveness of achieving a quick boost to sales but this is a high cost tactic (Keith
2011). Event also counts for 15% as it could be a buzz in consumers’ mind about the
brand image. Although the event is also happened in one week, it requires lots expenses
for rental cost, program cost and advertising cost. POP and mobile app both take up 7%.
Contest only makes up for 3% as it will be conducted mostly online. We only need to
spend for the prize of the contest.
