Changes in technology and digital marketing

• Changes in technology and digital marketing affecting marketing products and services

The challenge for marketers is to connect with customers through the internet in real time and
create opportunities that work with all social media. However, it is a good opportunity to get more
customers and take over the market with that product or service. Nowadays, we are able to easily get
information about products or services. That is, brands must keep an eye on online social networks in
order to publicise for customers. They can easily use various social media tools such as Instagram,
Facebook, YouTube or an interactive chat box.

Resource : case study

• Changes in technology and digital marketing in regards to data analysis and the information
relayed to marketers.

Data analysis is an internal organisational function performed by Data analysis that is more


than merely presenting numbers and figures to management. It requires a much more in-depth
approach to recording, analysing and dissecting data, and presenting the findings in an easily-
digestible format.
Their responsibilities around analysing data help the business managers make informed decisions
to drive the company forward, improve efficiency, increase profits and achieve organisational goals.

New strategies around consumer behaviour and ‘individual customer journeys’

Consumer behaviour research is the scientific study of the processes consumers use to select,
secure, use and dispose of products and services that satisfy their needs. Firms can satisfy those needs
only to the extent that they understand their customers.
Starting with “What one buys”, consumers normally look for pieces of clothing that might highlight
their physical features. This is valid for men and women. Yet, among men, this concerning is even
more evident, for, while 68,1% of them assert that they look for pieces of clothing that might
highlight those features, only 60,8% of women do that.

for redevelopment or withdrawal.

Strengths

democratic spaces for marginalised and displaced cultures. Programs specialise in

involve parents, schools, local councils and businesses, the state government and
community and religious groups and leaders.
- The programs are both traditional learning opportunities (employment workshop), and
creative/performance workshop.
- Strong distribution network, Strong Brand Portfolio

Weakness

success in terms of sale, but its positioning and unique selling proposition is not clearly
defined which can lead to the attacks in this segment from the competitors.
- Competition comes from other not for profit organisations vying to raise funds from donors
- There is no dedicated marketing team for The Street Uni Clothing social enterprise.
 
Opportunities
- The new technology provides an opportunity to Street Uni Clothing to practices
differentiated pricing strategy in the new market.
- It is supported by government funding for the organisation to provide support and
assistance to at-risk people.

Threats
- New technology developed by competitors or market destroyers may be a serious threat to
the industry in the medium to long term.

History
The Street University grew out of The Ted Noffs Foundation based on the
pioneering work of the Reverend Ted Noffs and The Wayside Chapel in
Kings Cross, Sydney, Australia.

‘During the youth revolt of the 1960s, Noffs was attracted to what he saw as
the life-affirming side of the movement. Although aware of the problem of
drug-abuse and the alienation of youth, he believed that they were "...a part
of the paraphernalia behind the revolution, the symbolism behind the
revolt."

Noffs sought fairness and equality for all. With a focus on the practical, he raised funding from both
government and business to set up facilities for the disadvantaged; in many cases these projects were
the first of their kind in Australia.’

Affairs sought to assist Aboriginal people

Originally named The Wayside Foundation, Noffs Foundation was founded in 1970 by the Reverend
Ted Noffs and his wife Margaret Noffs.

During their remarkable careers of pioneering initiatives for young people, the Noffs established
Sydney’s first crisis centre in 1968, set up the first Drug Referral Centre in Sydney in 1967, co-founded
the Aboriginal Affairs Foundation in 1962 and co-founded Lifeline in 1963. Ted’s son, Wesley and his
wife Amanda Noffs took over the foundation after Ted suffered a stroke.

They renamed the organisation, The Ted Noffs Foundation. Wesley and Amanda worked alongside
academics to create the country’s first drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre for adolescents known as
PALM. The community and government immediately supported the idea and the work of Noffs
Foundation spread across Australia.

Data & Analytics


The Street Uni Clothing company has access to data and analytics from Facebook and Google but at this
stage, does not focus on these indicators or lacks the expertise – it doesn’t retain a partnership with an
analytics provider.

The Street Uni Marketing Plan (Excerpt)

Executive summary

The Street University Clothing offers young people a variety of services and programs specifically
designed to guide, support and transform their interests into vocational and educational success
delivered amidst familiar cultural settings.

Current Marketing Situation

Industry analysis + Competition

The Street University Clothing is a social enterprise operating in a challenging environment for youth
at risk from a variety of factors including substance abuse, family issues and education and
employment opportunities. Other ‘profit for purpose’ organisations include The Salvation Army,
Mission Australia, Headspace, PCYC.

The programs are both traditional learning opportunities (employment workshop), and
creative/performance workshops that are aimed at building both creative skills and self-esteem for the
participants.

Competition comes from other not for profit organisations vying to raise funds from donors – these
include The Salvation Army, Mission Australia, Headspace, World Vision, Fred Hollows Foundation.

NOTE: not all these organisations operate social enterprises.

Consumer profile (Individuals + businesses + organisations)

The Street University Clothing consumer profile includes 3 major segments that each have unique
needs and wants as well as other factors such as lifestyle. These are:

Individuals (Changing the world)

Individuals who purchase Street University Clothing would profile as socially conscious, healthy and
active and creative/innovative in their tastes in clothing. They would possibly be inter-generational
(from Baby Boomers to Gen Z) and be employed in the creative industries or at least have an interest
in art and ‘new’ music. They may see themselves as world changers. They would have some
disposable income and be familiar with social media. They may or may not have religious (or faith)
beliefs as Ted Noffs is non denominational.

Businesses (Getting what they need and helping people)

BSBMKG507 - Interpret market trends and developments 2021 Page 28


RTO Provider: 91153 - CRICOS Code: 02672K greenwichcollege.edu.au
Businesses who purchase Street University Clothing would also profile as socially conscious, and
creative/innovative who may need to develop a promotional line of clothing for sale or for specific
marketing purposes such as events or social media. They would also possibly be inter-generational
(from Baby Boomers to Gen Z) and be running businesses with 50 or less employees. They want to
give back to society and would choose a social enterprise to do that.

Buyer Behaviour

Both individuals and businesses who purchase Street University Clothing would be active on social
media, have a social conscious and would be comfortable using technology to browse, source and
purchase clothing online.

Marketing objectives

The marketing objectives for Street Uni Clothing are quite broad with one SMART objective around
projected sales, and are as follows:

o To build the brand


o To achieve sales of circa $A200, 000.00 by end of 2018
o To attract donors

Environmental analysis

Political

Social programs are increasingly being out-sourced by governments who offer funding to
organisations to deliver support and assistance to at risk individuals. Funding for social enterprises are
a way for government to assist these profit for purpose organisations to ‘grow’ their own resources
instead of relying on taxpayer funding.

Economic

The Australian economy is currently in a strong position taking its lead from the record highs from the
US. However, this may not last in an ‘unstable’ global environment where problems are coming out of
the middle east, North Korea, Europe and the UK (Brexit), as well as the US itself. There are wars
raging in some parts of the globe.

Social

Socially, potential buyers of street university clothing would be digitally savvy and be frequent users of
social media. They would be socially conscious and care about a range of issues including social
support programs, and the environment and would be active on forums and use reviews to choose
suppliers. They would also be ‘individualists’ in their image choices for clothing.

Technological

Technologically the world is undergoing a revolution in digital technology and the Internet of Things.
This has had an impact on how social enterprises market and sell their products and services.

The Street Uni Marketing Team roles


Social Marketing Implementation

As the Street Uni has scarce resources, marketing implementation in regards to both creating and
uploading content is done quite haphazardly. A social marketing calendar is yet to be developed.

As previously mentioned, there is no dedicated marketing team for The Street Uni Clothing social
enterprise. Marketing team roles are shared by a number of Youth Workers, counselors and
coordinators involved in the enterprise who also have other jobs to do. They were chosen because of
their familiarity and creativity around social media.

There is also no planned ‘content calendar’ and content is developed and uploaded as required.

Team meetings to discuss the marketing are held via Skype as marketing teamers are spread across
the organisations sites and not necessarily situated at the Street Uni Clothing centre in Liverpool,
NSW. There is no formal structure or set dates for these meetings as this is yet to be fully developed.

Evaluation

Evaluation of the marketing strategy and tactics will be via a marketing audit that will be undertaken
at a 6-month period to gauge the effectiveness. This will be a formal process using an audit plan,
which is yet to be developed.

Controls

Control involves measurement, evaluation, and monitoring. Resources for marketing at the Street Uni
are scarce and costly so it is important to control marketing and make adjustments were necessary
include developing and uploading content.

Marketing Budget (excerpt)

digital marketing and traditional events (one planed for June) around a 6-month timeframe operating

The Street Uni Recordkeeping Policy and Procedures


Records should be stored securely, being careful to protect privacy, business and personal confidentiality,
and maintaining records as required by applicable laws.
● Create a personal subfolder within the server (using your name
as the subfolder name) to hold your day-to-day working files.
○ Do not store company data on your computer unless absolutely
necessary. Company data should be stored in the appropriate server drive. Unlike the servers
which are backed up automatically, data on your own computer is not backed up and your
work may be lost if you experience a system crash.
○ If you use a laptop and require access to files offsite, you will be

RTO Provider: 91153 - CRICOS Code: 02672K greenwichcollege.edu.au
set up with offline files allowing remote access to server files away from the office.
● ‘Move’ completed files to the appropriate folder in your
department.
● Filenames:
○ Speak to your Manager regarding the filenaming conventions
used in your Department
○ For ease of operator identification, add your initials to the end of
each filename. For example, JulyConf-mq.doc (document about July Conference, keyed in by
XYZ)
● Back-ups:
○ Back-up copies of all electronic files on the server are made
twice weekly.
○ If you spend an extended time away from the office network
using a laptop, it is your responsibility to ensure local copies of company files are backed up.

o General right to access such information
· Anti-discrimination legislation
o Customers cannot be discriminated based on several characteristics such
age, gender, race, impairment, family status, religion, political belief

2. Standards and codes of practice
Marketing plans may directly reference standards, best practice models and codes of practice.
These may be mandatory or voluntary.
Standards

products and services.
There are also voluntary standards that organisations adhere to in order to inspire consumer

Codes of practice
Codes of practice are often written to help businesses minimise their risk of breaching
legislation that is relevant to their industry or business practices.
Mandatory industry codes of practice provide practical guidance and advice on how to achieve
the standard required by legislation.
A code of practice is not the law, but it should be followed unless there is an alternative
course of action that achieves the same or better standards, so they are enforceable under
the Act or Regulation.
