With an average time of 126 minutes each user spends on social media
applications per day, also considering the cost of posting ads on Facebook is
approximately $10 a CPM (cost per thousand impressions) and $5 a CPM on
Instagram, the frequency could be once to two times daily,

year per person.

TARPS from Val Morgan:
Cinema performs in its
own right and also
amplifies other media.
Overall, cinema was
shown to be both
complementary-as a
stand-alone medium that
complements other
channel metrics and
synergistic with other
channels that when
combined create a
multiplier effect for
building brand.

4. Produce a media plan including a creative brief
I have chosen 6 media vehicles to advertise Earthsprite skin care range for
Eywa brand. They are cinema
advertising, magazine, social media, flyers, ad-bikes and print advertisements
including posters, calendars, bookmarks, business cards, etc. which are more
cost effective and affective media reach to attract target audience.
1. Social media
Set up an account for Puffers Pastry on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube,
Twitter etc. Upload latest product info and promotion details on these sites
regularly and actively engage and monitor them. Customers can leave
messages, feedbacks and reviews to Puffers Pastry easily. Social media
platforms are great tools for marketing, advertising and promoting Puffers
Pastry, also a great space to direct communicate and establish strong
connection with target audience therefore fulfilling Puffers Pastry objective of
Branding.
2. Magazine
I have chosen to place advertisement in “Donna Hay” (An Australian food
magazine).
Use high quality images, we can present the Puffers Pastry products with full
colour and gloss, allows a clear picture of the products.
3. Cinema
Place a 30s-60s advertising clip on 5 screens at Hoyts cinema, Melbourne
Central.
According to valmorgan.com.au, there are 50 movie sessions taking place at
this cinema on a daily basis. Using the clip, we can directly market to target
audiences, create positive brand sentiment. In fact, Cinema has the highest
positive receptivity in Australia when compared to other media. There are 47%
positive attitudes to ads in cinema which is significant greater than any other
media vehicles. (Valmorgan.com.au)
4. Flyers
Estimates numbers of residents, workers, students and tourists is 928,000.
Have location and brand name of the business highlighted as well as the
features of the products, to attract people to come in.
5. Ad-bikes
Bicycle boards are a cost effective tool to advertise for Puffers Pastry in an
eco-friendly manner. They move messages with zero emissions, have 360
degree impact, and they stand out on the streets and can be deployed
throughout areas where traditional billboards are not able to reach.(e.g. bike
paths, beach areas, parks, etc.)
6. Print advertisements
including posters, calendars, bookmarks, business cards, etc.
Page 20 of 31
By distributing desk calendars among CBD office workers, bookmarks among
students who study in the CBD, business cards among local residents and
general shoppers and wall calendars among local businesses, it will raise
brand awareness and create brand recall, builds a good brand image for
Puffers Pastry.
Specify the recommended media and vehicle/s, and the rationale for
their selection in the media plan
Buy one get 2nd one half price: On special occasions such as mother’s day,
Valentine’s Day, customers who buy one product in store can get 2 nd one for
half price.
Loyalty rewards card: e.g. buy 6 get 7th free. Customers can sign up with
Puffers Pastry to participate in the loyalty rewards program. They will receive
a card or a loyalty number which serves the purpose of keeping records of
their purchase history from the shop. When the number reaches the target set
by Puffers Pastry, they will be eligible for special rewards.
Free cupcake on your birthday: customers who have signed up with Puffers
Pastry to participate in the loyalty rewards program will give them access to
their personal info such as date of birth. On the day of their birthday they can
come in to the store and enjoy a free birthday cupcake.
Ensure the media plan contains a budget allocation per medium per
advertising period
