Three Marketing strategies, why you have chosen them, and how they will be effective

Marketing Plan

​

Our marketing goal is to reach those in food insecure situations, as well as raise awareness about our organization and its focus.

​

Plan 1. Using Social Media to Spread Information and Awareness

  1. Quick and easy way to reach hundreds of people all around the area, more people means more opportunities for our project to get out there.
  2. The ability to share images and videos to others either nearby or far away. This means people know exactly where their efforts and money are going towards.

Plan 2. Printed Flyers

  1. People without electronics can still gain information on the event, placing them in high traffic areas will raise engagement
  2. Offers more chances for those in need to gain knowledge of the project

Plan 3. School District Competition

  1. Competition between school districts will increase the number of participants within the fund raising process, meaning more attention will be given to the project
  2. Using a live link will allow for those participating to check the donations and see if it meets the goal
