Promotional Partners

  • Corporate Innovation & Entrepreneurship Society- Would understand their entrepreneurial spirit, and could shout out the company and use it as an example for member
  • Center for Sustainability Community Garde - Could relate to/appreciate the “natural” and “earthy” components of the products  
  • Community oriented, would probably be interested in helping members of the community (even if it isn’t directly related to gardening)  
  • Digital Media Group (DMG)- content creation, visuals, photos, and videography  
  • Club connected to Digital Art and Media Design major (where students can contacted for internship position)  
  • CommAgency- Will execute strategies to maximize business and marketing ventures
  • Ad/PR Club- May offer useful promotion tactics
  • Clove & Sprig- Similar products (candles, care regarding ingredients)

Competitor Analysis

Target: 

Locations

  1. 201 W Beaver Ave, State College, PA 16801 
  2. 315 Colonnade Blvd, State College, PA 16803 

Summary

Target is a well-known general merchandise retailer that sells candles, soaps, and lotions from high-manufacturing brands. Target is especially prominent in State College due to its appeal to a younger consumer market.  

Products

Most of Target’s personal care products are commercial brands, non-eco-friendly, and do not contain hemp seed oil. Brands such as Dr. Bronner’s Soap and Hempz Lotion contain hemp oil, but are distributed in a non-eco-friendly way to meet Target’s high national demand. Target’s products are typically around 30%-40% cheaper due to lower quality standards and artificial ingredients.  

Market Presence: High 

Product similarity: Low 

Eco-friendliness: Low

Summary

CVS is a well-known general merchandise retailer and pharmacy that sells soaps and lotions from high-manufacturing brands, much like target. CVS’s high presence in the State College area makes it a go-to store for purchasing personal care products. Additionally, since it is a pharmacy, students and residents visit CVS often to pick up prescriptions and other drugs, therefore increasing their consumer activity, and therefore increasing the sales of their other products.  

Products

CVS sells a variety of soap and lotion products similar to Target. They also have similar pricing for their products with hemp seed oil.  

Market Presence: High 

Product similarity: Low 

Eco-friendliness: Low

Results

Rather than execution, the team focused on creating strong drafts and planning for the client. Mike and Seamus fall short in establishing a strong online presence. Offering clear instructions and media assets will allow them to overcome these shortcomings. Mike and Seamus will be provided with a detailed media portfolio that comprises templates, social media strategies, How-to’s, links and sources, and other information that they can refer to in their efforts to develop effective content.

Mike and Seamus have decided to scrap much of their content and start anew With the assets that the PKF team has developed, the pair will be able to establish a strong foundation and garner recognition of their brand.
