SPT 208 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview Marketing and advertising are often used interchangeably, yet throughout this course you have learned that marketing is a much larger concept that requires a strong understanding of consumer behavior, products and services, and often the greater economic environment. Marketing is applicable to every industry and discipline in one way or another, but within the sport industry we have the chance to see the application of marketing concepts as if under a spotlight due to the industry’s global reach and importance to society. Your final project is the creation of an Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. You will select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization as the focus of your consumer and opportunity analysis. When selecting your area of focus, think about your interests and career aspirations. As you progress through the course, you will have the opportunity to practice the skills required for this project in several milestone activities. Your final deliverable will include a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of your selected focus; a consumer analysis; an analysis of successful marketing and media strategies; and a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan that allows you to explain your intended use of a proven marketing strategy and various media opportunities. Please note that your Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be an eligible artifact to include in your program portfolio, as it will highlight your ability to recognize consumer characteristics and opportunities for brand improvement. The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be submitted in Module Seven. This assessment addresses the following course outcomes: • Analyze consumer behaviors for the influence of political, cultural, and social events on consumer motivation at the local, national, or international levels within the sport industry • Illustrate the application of key marketing strategies in successful sport-specific marketing campaigns • Identify proven marketing strategies that can be successfully applied to specific sport marketing scenarios to attract consumers • Compare media opportunities for successfully communicating and marketing towards specific consumers within the sport industry Prompt Develop a comprehensive Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. Select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization and provide a thorough analysis of the existing marketing strategies and consumers, and determine an opportunity for greater consumer reach. Outline a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan for the marketing opportunity. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Marketing Foc.

Consumer Analysis for College Sports Antonio McClan SNHU Question 1: What are the demographics of the audience that you want to reach? The sports organization that I work for is an organization that is fascinated with sports and has come up with an approach to sponsor sports activities, especially in colleges where sports takes talented players to places. We are locating any form of college, both public and private. The college might be owned by a European, an American, an African American or an Asian. The college can be a new one or one that has been in existence for years. We wouldn't mind accepting the colleges that have a lot of students or fewer concerning the minimum number of students that are available in the colleges. The distance from our headquarters is not a factor that would change our minds not to accept any college; instead, we would work with them just as the one that might be located in the same state as us. Question 2: Explain the primary behavioral motivations for these consumers? The participating institutions that will be part of our program will encounter some benefits. First, these institutions will get to
be part of the NCAA, which will come with some other benefits. The schools will be receiving revenue from our programs to support the college athletes that will be present in these institutions. These funds could be extra or will be increasing with time as our organization keeps on growing. Furthermore, our organization will be providing additional services to the colleges; by this, I mean that we will be in charge of branding the college jerseys. They will be further motivated by funding the colleges to travel to other states to participate in friendly matches with other colleges that are also part of the program. Additionally, Colleges that will be found not caring for the athletes will be punished by the termination of contract or other punishment. This will encourage them to use the funds that we provide for the athletes adequately. The athletes will be medically insured so that when they get injured, their medical cover will be available to ensure that they are well taken cared off until they recover. The colleges will also be responsible for ensuring that the conduct of the athletes is commendable and also ensuring that their grades are well monitored to be the grade C and above. The colleges will be accountable for the athletes so that they would be on the safe side with the organization. Question 3: How does the current political environment (local, national, or global) influence your new audience? We are almost in the on-peak of political activities, and various politicians have pitched on funds as well as other activities that would make the college sports advertisement and recruitment success. Most politicians are from the national governments who have to influence the customers to join and participate in these programs since they are shareholders. They do this to attract more people to be on the right side with them. However, they help us reach a broader market, and therefore, we get to receive more customers from a more inclusive environment. The local political situation, on the other hand, participates by bringing the customers to our doorstep personally, since these are customers that had promised to help who are not well off in
their activities as colleges and would want to grow into large institutions. Question 4: What social and cultural aspects influence these consumers? Provide examples. Colleges, unlike other institutions, want to be realized by the public, so that they would get more students to join them. In this case, they would want this type of program to run in their institutions because it would increase their social well-being, which is the aim of many institutions. Moreover, the colleges would want to maintain their culture of always being on top, or striving to be on the top at something. In this case, if not the sports, they might get a student that will end up making history in the school, thereby raising the school to the glory which they have always wanted. The need to be recognized would also be possible since this program comes with the aim of increasing the sports season from one to two which will improve their social interaction with other schools, therefore, learning a thing or two. Question 5: What are two available media channels that you would choose for communicating with this new audience and why? It is evident that in the today world, social media is a platform that can reach the furthest and smallest corner of the world. Using social media would guarantee the organization the great environment that they require. In the social media platform, there exist Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, among others, where every college can be accesses and advertisements posted for the public to see. The other channel that I would use is televisions which also have a wide range of viewers from all over the nation, and here, we can form advertisement that will attract the attention of both private and public colleges. This will attract most universities that want to be noticed for future success.

  • 22. Consumer Analysis for College Sports Antonio McClan SNHU Question 1: What are the demographics of the audience that you want to reach? The sports organization that I work for is an organization that is fascinated with sports and has come up with an approach to sponsor sports activities, especially in colleges where sports takes talented players to places. We are locating any form of college, both public and private. The college might be owned by a European, an American, an African American or an Asian. The college can be a new one or one that has been in existence for years. We wouldn't mind accepting the colleges that have a lot of students or fewer concerning the minimum number of students that are available in the colleges. The distance from our headquarters is not a factor that would change our minds not to accept any college; instead, we would work with them just as the one that might be located in the same state as us. Question 2: Explain the primary behavioral motivations for these consumers? The participating institutions that will be part of our program will encounter some benefits. First, these institutions will get to
  • 23. be part of the NCAA, which will come with some other benefits. The schools will be receiving revenue from our programs to support the college athletes that will be present in these institutions. These funds could be extra or will be increasing with time as our organization keeps on growing. Furthermore, our organization will be providing additional services to the colleges; by this, I mean that we will be in charge of branding the college jerseys. They will be further motivated by funding the colleges to travel to other states to participate in friendly matches with other colleges that are also part of the program. Additionally, Colleges that will be found not caring for the athletes will be punished by the termination of contract or other punishment. This will encourage them to use the funds that we provide for the athletes adequately. The athletes will be medically insured so that when they get injured, their medical cover will be available to ensure that they are well taken cared off until they recover. The colleges will also be responsible for ensuring that the conduct of the athletes is commendable and also ensuring that their grades are well monitored to be the grade C and above. The colleges will be accountable for the athletes so that they would be on the safe side with the organization. Question 3: How does the current political environment (local, national, or global) influence your new audience? We are almost in the on-peak of political activities, and various politicians have pitched on funds as well as other activities that would make the college sports advertisement and recruitment success. Most politicians are from the national governments who have to influence the customers to join and participate in these programs since they are shareholders. They do this to attract more people to be on the right side with them. However, they help us reach a broader market, and therefore, we get to receive more customers from a more inclusive environment. The local political situation, on the other hand, participates by bringing the customers to our doorstep personally, since these are customers that had promised to help who are not well off in
  • 24. their activities as colleges and would want to grow into large institutions. Question 4: What social and cultural aspects influence these consumers? Provide examples. Colleges, unlike other institutions, want to be realized by the public, so that they would get more students to join them. In this case, they would want this type of program to run in their institutions because it would increase their social well-being, which is the aim of many institutions. Moreover, the colleges would want to maintain their culture of always being on top, or striving to be on the top at something. In this case, if not the sports, they might get a student that will end up making history in the school, thereby raising the school to the glory which they have always wanted. The need to be recognized would also be possible since this program comes with the aim of increasing the sports season from one to two which will improve their social interaction with other schools, therefore, learning a thing or two. Question 5: What are two available media channels that you would choose for communicating with this new audience and why? It is evident that in the today world, social media is a platform that can reach the furthest and smallest corner of the world. Using social media would guarantee the organization the great environment that they require. In the social media platform, there exist Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, among others, where every college can be accesses and advertisements posted for the public to see. The other channel that I would use is televisions which also have a wide range of viewers from all over the nation, and here, we can form advertisement that will attract the attention of both private and public colleges. This will attract most universities that want to be noticed for future success.
