  • NC State Baseball Marketing Plan for the 2014 Season
    1 NC State Baseball Marketing Plan for the 2014 Season Created by: Tyler Younger 2 Table of Contents Executive Summary……………………………………………………………………………...3 Mission Statement ……………………………………………………………………………….4 Background………………………………………………………………………………………4 Situational Analysis……………………………………………………………………………...5 Marketing Goals………………………………………………………………………………..14 Marketing Strategy…………………………………………………………………………….15 Marketing Tactics……………………………………………………………………………...16 Implementation…………………………………………………………………………………24 Evaluation………………………………………………………………………………………29 Appendix………………………………………………………………………………………..30 3 Executive Summary The purpose of this marketing plan is to increase average attendance at NC State baseball games by 10% for the 2014 season. The baseball program has used the general public as a target market in the past and this is simply too large of a group. This particular marketing plan will focus its efforts on three target markets: NC State students, NC State faculty/staff, and the West Raleigh Baseball Association. The NC State baseball program believes, with the right marketing strategies and tactics, that these three target markets can help them reach their goal of increasing average attendance by 10%. This plan focuses its efforts on enhancing awareness of games, making the game day product more entertaining, and building personal relationships with the players, coaches, parents, and fans of the West Raleigh Baseball Association. Enhancing awareness of games on campus through flyers, emails, signs, and radio announcements will keep students and faculty/staff mindful of when games are being played. We will have promotional days and promotions during games that are aimed at our target markets and will make the game day product more entertaining. The NC State baseball coaches and players will make appearances and participate in instructional camps at the West Raleigh Baseball Association’s facility. This will allow the NC State players and coaches to build positive relationships with the players, coaches, parents, and fans of the youth baseball organization.
