target market current approach In order to reach their target markets, Steinhafels employs two general strategies that vary in methods but have the same goal in reaching their consumers. The first is the mass-market approach, which aims to sell to a broad market. For Steinhafels, this market consists of women ages 25-54. To reach such an extensive market, Steinhafels looks for media vehicles that reach a large audience. Television is one method they utilize for the amount of viewers it can reach. More specifically, Steinhafels focuses on local news and occasionally, live sports. These two types of programs have proven to be areas that most viewers do not DVR, which means they are not skipping over commercials. A second method is placing ads in local newspapers. The second approach is more segmented, which aims to selectively target one niche market. Steinhafels focuses on building the one-on-one relationship with their customers. One way they do this is through direct mail. Their direct mail is targeted at two types of consumers—their returning customers and people who have recently moved into zip codes that Steinhafels targets. Email is another method that concentrates on the niche market of returning customers, and it is also behaviorally targeted through lifestyles.

are interested in. This specific audience is looking for something fresh and new. In their minds, Steinhafels is more on the ‘’higher end’’ of furniture buying and they avoid coming to the store because they do not feel as though anything inside will benefit them stylistically or financially. It is their “parent’s store.” Regarding the general product category, the economic recession has played a major part in consumers


media plan | 2009

purchasing habits for furniture. The furniture industry has been suffering ever since the economic downturn in 2007. This has made people more conservative with their money. They are more apt to purchase low-end furniture, sometimes sacrificing quality for the sake of saving money. Consumers are seeking the balance between a product from a trusted company that will provide them with quality merchandise at a reasonable price, and one where they will continue to receive quality service post-purchase.

consumer profile Serena Davis is a 44 year old woman who is married, has a 12-year old daughter, and lives in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a degree in Marketing and Finance. Both she and her husband, Mike, have steady and high incomes, putting them in a wealthy, affluent demographic category. They are still living in the first house they purchased together, but are looking to remodel. They both have worked hard for years and believe they now deserve the reward of high quality home furnishings. Serena has always been conservative with her money but now that she has been saving for a while, she is ready to indulge in some products that reflect a higher social status. She always has her Blackberry on her and is consistently available via electronic communication. Therefore, she values quick, thorough, and clear information when investigating purchases. However, she is a social person and likes to have face to face contact with salespeople. Serena and Mike both work in Milwaukee and like to go into the city for social purposes. The frequently attend shows at the theatres downtown and also go out for nice dinners.

Because leather furniture has a longer life than fabric furniture, it can be considered as more of an investment. The buyers need to narrow down their decision by considering things such as size, color and style. These decisions

Marketing strategy over that time may need to reflect a greater span in the target age group to maintain or increase sales.

competitive analysis

porter’s of racine • colders colder’s furniture, electronics and appliances Colder’s was founded in 1942 with sales coming out of the back of a truck. Today, it is a family owned company with four store locations. They are following in the trend of mega stores with their newest in Grafton that boasts a water fall and massive floor space. Their main consumers come from Southeastern Wisconsin and the outlying areas surrounding it. Colder’s is currently using their “Half back, Full back, something more” advertising to gain market share. Colder’s offer only allows for customers to spend the money saved on something more in their own store. Because Colder’s carries products from a variety of categories, their selection of leather upholstery items are very limited. They only carry four brands (Lane, Natuzzi, Flexsteel, and England).

nationwide. They have done some re-merchandising to boost sales, but are not “ratcheting down”. The company is known for not being willing to lower prices by sacrificing quality. The store motto or slogan is “Furniture of Distinction since 1857.” “One of the most unique furniture shopping experiences in the nation”, Porter’s has been selling fine, high-end furniture for over 150 years. They are one of only a few high-end furniture retailers still in existence in southeast Wisconsin. Porters offers over 200 furniture vendors including some of the top names in the industry, including Stickley, Henredon, Theodore Alexander, Baker, Bausman, Councill, Durham, and many others. Price points can be significantly higher than their competitors for certain items, including a Frank Lloyd Wright replica sofa that sells for over $15,000.

media strategy media objectives While furniture store sales have experienced a decline from approximately $60 million in 2007 to a projected $52.8 million in 2009, U.S. furniture and bedding sales are still projected to increase by 12.5% from 2008–2013 (Fig. 2: Get Smart Quick Guide). The Midwest region, specifically, is expected to increase by 9.6% over that same span (Get Smart Quick Guide). Based on these statistics, we are choosing an aggressive media objective to increase leather sales by 10% from July 2010–June 2011. We feel confident choosing this number based on the anticipated increase, as well as the high performance of leather motion sofas, and leather stationary sofas. These products rank second and third respectively on the list of Best Selling Price Points (Get Smart Quick Guide, September 2008). According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, global IP traffic will quintuple from 2008–2013. It also suggests that IP traffic in North America will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) increase of 39% during that span. This, in turn, creates a tremendous opportunity for growth in Steinhafels website traffic. We are proposing a robust 35% increase in Steinhafels website traffic from July 2010– June 2011. We decided to withhold 4% from the 39% CAGR to compensate for not having an online purchasing component. With the anticipated increases in leather sales and internet traffic, we are proposing a 25% increase in store traffic. By taking appropriate measures with advertising and internet awareness, we believe this to be a real and attainable objective. Leather furniture is set apart by its luxurious, textural feel, and as such all advertising should be executed to encourage an in-store experience. These objectives are geared towards increasing Steinhafels market share of leather furniture sales. With the current market share leaders sliding with the current housing market and economy in general, we believe there is real opportunity for Steinhafels to make significant advances in this segment.

market strategy After removing 20% for creative execution and 10% for contingency, we have chosen to implement our media strategy with a total budget of $112,500. Based on this number, we will focus on the Milwaukee and Madison markets and the outlying areas. This is an effective strategy because it allows us to reach the most people in areas where the majority of stores are located. We will allocate 70% of our budget (a total of $78,750) to the Milwaukee area and 30% of our budget (a total of $33,750) to the Madison area. We feel that the Milwaukee area covers many of media outlets surrounding several of the Steinhafels locations.

budget allocation In Milwaukee, we will allocate 32% of the budget to print, 18% to radio, 31% to outdoor, 10% to direct mail and 9% to online. In Madison, we will allocate 47% of the budget to print, 22% to radio, 22% to direct mail and 9% to online. We will reach the most of our target audience through newspaper and other forms of media in the Milwaukee and Madison areas. We plan to use the bulk of the budget in newspaper to reach our audience by creating frequent inserts as outlined in the flow chart on pages 20 and 21.

Thanksgiving and Black Friday following Thanksgiving. In the February and March period of heavier sales, we have the option of promoting President’s Day weekend as well as a tax refund option ahead of time. According the 2007 Monthly Retail and Food Service Sales from the United States Census Data, the highest percentage of monthly furniture sales occurs in August. November has the third highest sales percentage. March has the second highest amount of sales, which is the reasoning behind the February and March campaign. Newspaper: We plan to advertise in newspapers during the third week

media tactics In order to maintain awareness among the target audience, our strategy is to pulse throughout the year within a continuous strategy, as to gain continuity in our campaign. We want Steinhafels to be on the forefront as much as possible. All of the different mediums will have varying schedules to keep a variety based on the busiest times of the year and special events occurring throughout the year. While we will be pulsing throughout the year, we are proposing a giveaway promotion prior to the Super Bowl via direct mail, as well as radio spots leading into December holidays and Father’s Day. In the higher sales period from July to November, we have the option to promote Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day,

of each month to coincide with pay periods of our target customers. The exceptions will be December, January, and June when radio, outdoor, and direct mail take over. People will be more confident, and therefore more likely, to make purchases after receiving a paycheck. Studies show that most people do their shopping on Saturday and Sunday. Forty-seven percent of adults say they prefer to shop on Saturday and 23% of adults choose Sunday. Advertisements on Thursday and Friday will get them ready for their weekend shopping. We will have a special focus on Sundays in the newspaper medium. Sunday newspaper inserts will be executed throughout the advertising schedule due to larger readership. According to MORI research, 87% of

Finally, newspapers have the benefit of immediacy. Ads can be placed at the beginning of the week and the advertiser can get results before the week is over. In addition, short deadlines and lead times will allow Steinhafels to respond to always changing market conditions or take advantage of unexpected opportunities. When it comes to the wide range of media sources that consumers use in their daily lives, we recognize that newspaper offers universal audience coverage with the option of geo-targeting our ads to specific communities or targeting out ads to specific sections our audience reads.

media. Using Steinhafel’s personal consumer database, we will run a direct mail campaign in January to help to fill the gap when we are not running newspaper or online ads. This will allow us to target our consumers in the home and provide men and women with the opportunity to collaborate on the purchase decision privately. Secondly, this will allow us to use direct mail to advertise our Super Bowl promotion.
