  • 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.

  • Raleigh, North Carolina
    Coordinates: 35°46′N 78°38′W Raleigh, North Carolina Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee)[6] is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many Raleigh, North Carolina [7] oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of State capital city 147.6 square miles (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city's population as City of Raleigh 474,069 as of July 1, 2019.[4] It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.[8][9] The city of Raleigh is named after Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County. Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and their universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013.[10] The Raleigh metropolitan statistical area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.[11] Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County.[12] The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.
