This section will highlight the main objectives of the communications that are a part of this project, which can be briefly summarized as mentioned in, the below points:
As discussed above, the target audience of the project are mainly the homemakers and the students of hospitality and hotel management in Australia, who are more into the cooking field and regularly stay updated with the launch of the new cooking materials in the market. They are the primary target audience. Secondary target audience are the restaurant owners who can often try out new products launched in the market (Condrasky et al. 2013). This study aims to help the different leadership managers as well as the concerned project departments to come up with an effective communication strategy so the successful launch of the new product is possible without any problems, despite the unavoidable circumstance that the company is presently facing (Anti? and Bogeti? 2015).
The parents as well as the homemakers who are generally leisure cooks can try out experimenting with this all new pour in cooking sauce in the innovative dishes they try cooking in every day of their lives. This new sauce has an all in one ingredient that they can generally try in any new dish they wish to cook.
The students of hotel management who have cooking activities as a part of their assignment should definitely try out this new sauce since they have taste preferences as well as markings based on the quantity and the quality of cooking sauce they use in their assignments (Burke 2013).
A 12 months communication time will be needed in order to properly communicate the launch of the new product. It is of two types: internal and external communication mix. The components are described below:
The company sales people and the product representatives can visit the colleges as well as homes and interact with the users and educate and inform them about the new product and also offer them initial free sample s of the product for testing purposes just to market their product.
A press release, which will describe the features of the product as well as periodic advertisements in the radio, will be needed.
Online advertisements as well as promotions in social media will play a crisis role in the marketing of the product.
Radio, televisions will play an important role in advertising the product.
Newspapers, hoardings and leaflets can be used and distributed in homes and among students to increase their awareness about the new product (Rothaermel 2015).
Email notifications can be sent to the users regarding the same.
The product has to be promoted both internally i.e. within the organization as well as to the external users. Promotion can be done using social media, leaflets as well as face-to-face meetings with the customers wherein the sales representatives can explain the products to the users in details in person. The Dartmouth website will also be used to market the product (David, Broquetas and Volm 2013).
The budget as discussed above will be around 2500000 AUD for 100000 jars, considering the price for each jars of around 25$. There will be other cost factors such as website maintenance and printing leaflets as well as internet handling charges for the online promotion of the product as well as conducting promotion events in different parts of Australia. Free samples also have to be distributed in the initial phase of the product promotion, which will again involve cost to the company (Grimm, Hofstetter and Sarkis 2014). The overall budget is expected to shoot up to 3500000 AUD.
The expected time for the entire project to be successfully completed and the product to be launched into the market will be around 12 months.
The new pour in sauce is an interesting new product from the company that will inspire new cooks to learn and experiment different styles of cooking using the cooking sauce. It will also inspire the students as well as the traditional homely cooking styles and newer varieties of the existing dishes will come up. It is a challenge for the cooks to make optimum use of the cooking sauce to come up with more tasty variants of the same preexisting dish. It can also be a challenge to the other sauces from the different other companies (Marchewka 2014). This will also ensure a better brand image of the company as a whole.
