Situation Analysis Premier Attractions Management L.L.C. Premier Attractions, originally a real estate company called Tierco Group, Inc., operates out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It purchased Frontier City in 1982 for $1.2 million. In 1984, Tierco hired a professional in the amusement park industry, Gary Story, who spent around $39 million improving Frontier City. In 1991 it purchased Oklahoma City’s White Water waterpark, which would later become White Water Bay. The company realized that in order to boost a park’s attendance, new rides must be frequently introduced, and the parks need to have a more attractive appeal for families. In 1996, nearly 8.8 million people visited Premier’s parks, making it the second largest chain in the world by attendance. In 1998 Premier purchased the 12-park Six Flags chain from Times Warner and

Boston Ventures. Premier Attraction’s mission is to be the very best theme park company in the world by focusing its attention on its guests’ experiences and striving to create family fun and fond memories. For this campaign we will focus on driving attendance, especially during the summer time, and increase the sales of season passes while encouraging existing season pass holders to renew each year. Currently, there is a limited time offer on season passes to Frontier City and White Water Bay. Customers can get their 2011 Double Park Season Pass for $65.99 + tax and can bring a friend to Frontier City for free. This is a $32.99 value. The free ticket is only good on designated days and only at Frontier City. (Premier Attractions Management, Inc) If you visit either Frontier City or White Water Bay more than twice a year, then your Double Park Season Pass has already saved you money.

Demographics: General Amusement and Theme Parks The key demographic for theme and amusement parks are people aged 25 to 44 years old, especially families with children in their teens. (PRIZM)

Water parks appeal to blue-collar families who are looking for a fun experience that is both affordable and fun. Tweens and teens make up a significant percentage of attendance at water parks and family aquatic centers. Interestingly enough, this segment of the population cannot drive a vehicle, so attendance to water parks is dependent on parents or older adolescents for transportation. (PRIZM)

While amusement parks had significant downturn in attendance in 2008-2010, with the number averaging in the upper 200 million. It is predicted that attendance will rise back up to 300 million+. (Business Districts, Inc.)

Any change that affects real household disposable income can impact park attendance; these include tax and interest rate movements, high and increasing gas and basic food prices and sharp spikes in unemployment.

‘Water parks appeal to blue collar families.’ PRIZM, Zip Code Psychographics

Social factors are also important, particularly changes in leisure time available to households, population growth rate, age, education levels, and population mobility and distribution. Competition for a share of households’ leisure time and expenditure also impacts industry growth, as do rising fears associated with the spread of disease, such as the H1N1 virus (swine flu).

Conclusion Advertising History According to the 1997 yearend issue of Amusement Business, only two of the nine Six Flags amusement parks had an attendance increase from 1996. Premier believed that a lack of capital growth had stagnated Six Flags, and the company had mistakenly targeted most of its advertising toward teens when it should have focused on families. In response, Premier redesigned the Six Flags marketing strategy so

that its ads also targeted women aged 18 to 49. Some of the TV commercials for White Water Bay feature women enjoying themselves at the water park. Splashtown had a commercial with a not so catchy jingle and poor footage. Frontier City ran a few commercials with pointof-view shots of the roller coasters and interviews of people attending the park. It is hard to see a central theme or idea between the advertising for the different parks.

Premier is faced with significant competition from the surrounding communities. There are multitudes of venues and parks that are competing for customers. However, Frontier City and White Water Bay are the only “true” amusement parks in Oklahoma. This is a direct advantage over the other parks and attractions around the OKC area. Furthermore, the Double Season Pass is a good deal, especially for those that visit the parks more than once a year. Frontier

that increase competition with Premier Attractions. The Planetarium gives visitors an opportunity to explore the wonders of space. The museum is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. 5 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. General Admission is $10.95 for adults and $8.95 for children (3-12) and seniors (64+). E Parking is free.2100 NE 52nd St.(405) 602-6664. (okc.about.com)

City and White Water Bay fit well together. On the other hand, SplashTown is not the “top dog” of water parks in Houston and the surrounding area. Increasing awareness and introducing new rides will help bolster attendance and revenue. Our main target audiences are Power Mom’s and Tweens. By directing our campaign towards these audiences, we will raise awareness of Premier Attractions Management L.L.C, create a central theme that will bolster positive views toward the parks as a whole, and will increase the total revenue at all the parks.

Who To Talk To

Some extra waves: Who and What is a Tween?

Who is the Power Mom?

While there is no real consensus on the age range of a tween, a good start would be 8-14 years old. Tweens are in a transitional stage between childhood and adolescence. Things that are becoming important to them are independence, social interactions, leisure activities, and electronic communication. Tweens like brands that let them be different and unique while also fitting in with their peers 60 percent of tweens find out about hot brands from friends Their favorite category purchases are food, music, and entertainment. More than any other advertising, tweens understand ads that are silly or stupid and they appreciate ads that have kids their own age or celebrities. Tweens are heavy visitors to Youtube.com, Facebook.com, Yahoo.com and Disney.go.com. Amusement parks are among the top three favorite vacation destinations of tweens. In Oklahoma, tweens make are one of the highest groups in population, second only to 35-44 year olds. In the Houston area, tweens are the third highest group in population coming behind 25-34 year olds and 35-44 year olds.

Eighty percent of moms today feel they have more power and control over their lives than moms in the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Internet and mobile technology tend to be their most frequently-used media. Forty-four percent use social media for word-of-mouth recommendations on brands and products. The vast majority of moms (91 percent) never leave the house without their cell phones and compared to just three years ago, are 348 percent more likely to use her cell phone to go online. Mothers are always on the go. The likelihood of them spotting an outdoor billboard is high. Outdoor reaches 89 percent of adults 18-34 years old.

MRIPlus Findings (People who have visited a theme park in the last 12 months) Southerners, Westerners and Midwesterners visit theme parks the most.Women 18-49 are the heaviest visitors, and the majority have children between the ages 6-11 years old. Tweens and teens of this group read magazines such as Popstar!, Intouch Weekly, and Newsweek. They listen to radio mostly during the daypart of 7:00 pm-midnight. They watch Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, TeenNick and Disney Channel.

We found that youth, ages 8-14, as well as mothers, ages 30-49, would be the best target audience to meet the objectives set by Premier Attractions Management. Research shows that children in this age range are the consumers who most enjoy visiting amusement and theme parks. Also, considering that this target audience is not old enough to drive, research shows that they will be driven to theme parks by their parents or an older sibling. Research also shows that mothers often look for new, entertaining and inexpensive activities to participate in with their children, particularly during the summer months. Both power moms and tweens found an interest in amusement parks and their season passes.

How To Reach Them Research shows that our primary and secondary target heavily-use mobile technology, television, and Internet. Tweens spend a significant amount of time on Facebook and Twitter. Power moms are moderate users of social networking sites. Placing ads on heavily-visited sites and televisions networks that have high ratings among our target audience and developing promotions to drive attendance and season pass purchase will help to reach the objectives.

What To Say Research shows that advertisements that are funny, silly, shocking, and entertaining catch tweens attention the most. Research also shows that power moms enjoy ads that are funny, colorful, and have valuable promotions. Novel Idea will create ads that creatively and humorously position the three parks as fun, family-oriented destination that transforms everyday normality.

Marketing Strategy Target Audience For our target audience we focused all of our efforts on two groups statistically high in theme park attendance, power moms and tweens. Power Moms are a unique target audience. They are busy and constantly on the go. They have to entertain their children and friends of their children as well. Our research found the best demographic of power moms for this campaign are 30-49. Our primary research with the survey found that Power moms are married with at least two children whose ages vary but the general trend is about 5-15. 93 percent of power moms said they prefer to be active during summer than any other season. When a woman becomes a mom, marketers lose three hours of available media time to engage with her per day as her criteria for media usage changes from a focus on entertainment to getting answers. Because of this, the Internet serves the needs of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom more than any other form of media. Most power moms stick close to their cell phones and use the Internet on them. The likelihood of them spotting an outdoor billboard is high. Outdoor reaches 89 percent of adults 18-34 years old. Because these moms are very busy, we will use Internet and mobile technology to reach them. Tweens are an ill-defined group., they are in a transitional stage between childhood and adolescence. For this campaign we target boys and girls 8-14. Our research found that tweens like brands that let them be different and unique while also fitting in with their peers. Tweens liked advertising that was funny or had celebrities.

How To Reach Them

What To Say

Research shows that our primary and secondary target heavily-use mobile technology, television, and Internet. Tweens spend a significant amount of time on Facebook and Twitter. Power moms are moderate users of social networking sites. Placing ads on heavily-visited sites and televisions networks that have high ratings among our target audience and developing promotions to drive attendance and season pass purchase will help to reach the objectives.

Research shows that advertisements that are funny, silly, shocking, and entertaining catch tweens attention the most. Research also shows that power moms enjoy ads that are funny, colorful, and have valuable promotions. Novel Idea will create ads that creatively and humorously position the three parks as fun, family-oriented destination that transforms everyday normality. With our research on the target audience we discovered the most pertinent and cost effective way to reach the highest number of them.

Our marketing efforts will result in: Increased park attendance, more sales of season passes, more awareness and higher recognition of the brand.

Media

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catching Some Waves: Our Target

Mobile

We found that youth, ages 8-14, as well as mothers, ages 30-49, would be the best target audience to meet the objectives set by Premier Attractions Management. We have developed a comprehensive and costefficient media plan to reach our target through the media that they interact with every day. Research shows that our target audience members are extremely heavy users of Internet, TV, and mobile communications. We also found that despite the popular rise of MP3 players, radio is still a popular medium among our target audience. Finally, outdoor and non-traditional media will be used to support all other media give more power to the waves our media plan will make. Our goal with this media plan is to speak to our target audience directly with the use of media they use every day, and help increase season pass and ticket sales at least 30 percent compared to last year.

Consumers are now using the Internet, watching TV, and downloading/listening to music all on their cell phones. A Kaiser Family Foundation research report found that twothirds of all 8- to 18-year-olds own their own cell phone, and in a typical day, 8- to 18-year-olds spend an average of 49 minutes listening to music, playing games, or watching TV on a cell phone. This extensive use of mobile media by tweens makes

the popularity of social networking sites. More than 80 percent of young people average about 2 hours a day in recreational computer time. Most of this recreation is participation in social networking sites, playing online games, and watching YouTube videos. Mothers also spend a significant amount of time on social networking sites.

Youtube Research shows that our target enjoys spending their online time watching videos on Youtube. The site reaches 39 percent of 2-11 year olds and 61 percent of 12-17 year olds We decided to target our tweens on this site with a standard banner ad. We will run this ad for three months of the campaign.

Time in Minutes

Transformthenorm.com We will create a Website particularly for Premier Attractions Management LLC. This site will connect all three sites. It will have information specifically about Premier, as well as links directing users to the three parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Websites. The domain will cost about $21 per year. There are many sites where anyone can easily design a website for relatively little cost. The Website, wix.com, allows you to design for free and customize for about $10/ month. Total production per year for a personal Website will be $140.

it a prime vehicle to promote Premier Attractions Management LLC.

Facebook There will be four different types of ads. Unlike some websites, Facebook advertising is social networking site. Users have profiles and provide all of their demographic information. In this way, Novel Idea can advertise to a specific age group and demographic area, whereas on other sites, visitors are more general. Considering the targeted nature of the site, a total of 1,358,740 who perfectly fit our target audience will be exposed to the ad. One ad will target tweens in Houston (448,860) and the 50-mile radius surrounding area and one will target tweens for Oklahoma City (100,580) and a 50-mile radius surrounding area. Then one ad will target women 30-45 Oklahoma City (159, 080) and a 50-mile radius surrounding area and in Houston (650,220) and a 50-mile radius surrounding area. Facebook advertising allows you to set a budget. There is not a specific rate. We will spend $10,000 a month for each ad. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $40,000 a month for 6 months. The budget for Facebook will be $240, 000. Since this site is the most heavily visited by our target audience, this large amount of spending is greatly justified. The ads will run the majority of the campaign.

Television

Non-traditional

Television remains as the medium most heavily and frequently consumed by young people. Nielsen Wire Blog research found that children 2-11 years old spend almost 102 hours a month watching TV and this amount is on the rise. This huge amount of consumption time makes television a very effective means of communication to the target audience. Considering that research shows that tweens’ favorite networks are TeenNIck and Cartoon Network, advertising on these networks will provide the most impressions. MRI research shows that women age 35-49 watch a lot of TV with their children. On their own, this demographic watches cable networks, including HGTV, Bravo and LOGO. We will run primetime spots on cable networks that research found to be popular among tweens and power moms. We will run a total of 240 spots for a period of 12 weeks. Each station varies in ratings and prices, the stations are listed below

Movie Theater Many Americans believe moviegoing to be an enjoyable pastime. Moviegoers find cinema ads 65% more memorable than local newspaper ads. We found this to be an intelligent media choice considering the nature of our creative ideas. We will run cinema spots in three theatres in prime locations near the parks. We will advertise at Bricktown 6 and

Considering that tweens are not of age to drive, most of them will be transported from one place to another by their mothers. Targeting power moms, who drive to work every day and pick up the kids, through outdoor boards will be very effective in catching their attention and placing Premier Attractions Management in the front of their minds as a great entertainment activity. We will have five boards in OKC, and one in Houston. The OKC boards are located on I-35, I-44, and I-40. The Houston board is located on North Freeway. These boards have an amazing DEC and CPM.

Creative Strategy The BIG Idea Target Audience In our campaign for Premier Attractions Management LLC, we will be targeting tweens, ages 8-14, with a secondary target audience of mothers, ages 30-49.

TRANSFORM THE NORM The premise behind “Transform the Norm” is giving power to the tweens to change their dull day and summer. Research shows that children in this stage of life are transitioning from dependence on parents to a sense of independence. The BIG idea plays on this desire for independence and freedom and the ability to do something about their circumstances. Also, “Transform the Norm” will target the power moms by encouraging mothers to take a break from being cooped up in the house all day with their kids during the summer. Mothers can take their children to a amusement park location and allowing them to transform the monotony of everyday life. The tag line will vary depending upon which park is being promoted as well as what aspect of their life they’re transforming. For instance, “Transform Your Monday” or “Morph the Mundane” would be used to encourage tweens to visit a park for fun and entertainment during the summer months when they are stuck at home with not much to do but watch TV.

Relevance

Empathy

The BIG Idea is relevant to the desire for tweens to have some form of entertainment and to have a choice in this entertainment, particularly during the summer months. It also connects to the inherent desire for control and independence within tweens, as well as the power mom’s desire to provide and entertaining family environment for their children.

“Transform the Norm” speaks to tweens and power moms inner longing for autonomy, self-sufficiency, control, great fun, and epicness.

Position This idea approaches a very particular market. Most water parks focus on very general family fun. Our idea focuses on tweens and giving them influence over their time, as well as focusing on mothers and giving them a unique and valuable entertainment experience for their family.

Originality Our BIG idea takes a new perspective by not harping on the cool rides, which is usually promoted by generic water parks, but emphasizes the value of entertainment and the power to make your own fun.

Impact Our idea will excite the tweens to do something about their time and change it up from the mundane day of playing video games and flipping through TV stations. The idea will also excite moms to give their children a nice time during summer and get them out of the house.

After all that research and other jazz, it’s time for a break. Please take a moment to enjoy a silly walk, from the ministry of silly walks. We’ve included a step-by-step picture guide incase you’ve forgotten how. When you return, be prepared to experience some great creative.

Public Relations Suit Yourself with the United Way “Transform the Norm” is meant to not only help power moms and tweens transform their daily lives, but also transform the community as a whole. We will sell branded swimsuits, sunscreen and towels at White Water Bay and SplashTown. The branded items will have “Transform the Norm” on each of the items. The items will be featured in the Tabogo Trading store in White Water Bay and at the Beach Shop in SplashTown. The branded items will be featured near the entrance of the shops and will be promoted around the parks with various signs and posters. The suits, both male and female, will be sold for $25 a piece, the sunscreen at $3.50, and the towels will be sold for $18. The branded products will be custom ordered in bulk for a total of $39,482. The products will be introduced to the stores on Thursday, June 28th and will remain there until Thursday, August 2nd. This allows the products to be featured for 5 weeks during the peak attendance time in July. The total possible revenue gained from the products could be more than $63,500. As part of the “Suit Yourself with the United Way” promotions, 15% of the revenue from the products sold will be donated to the United Way of Central Oklahoma and the United Way of Greater Houston. With 15% of the proceeds going to each United Way, each organization has the potential to receive $4,762.

Transform the Music Concert Series

Aly and AJ Performing Live

Saturday, October 27th 8 p.m. Frontier City Ampitheater Your ticket/season pass gets you in free.

Concerts have been a part of the Frontier City theme park for many years now and to keep the tradition going we have developed a concert series based on research of who our target would like to see come to Frontier City. Our Concert Specials will include Styx (Memorial Weekend) Taio Cruz (Fourth of July) and Aly and AJ Halloween). Taio Cruz Taio Cruz is an English singer known for his dance-pop mix with R&B. His popularity in the U.S. soared with his song,”Dynamite,” playing on the radio non-stop. ($65,000)

Aly and AJ Aly and AJ is a pop rock band consisting of sisters Alyson Michalka and Amanda Michalka. Their album “Into the Rush” has sold millions of copies. ($50,000)

Styx Styx is an American rock band that became famous for its albums from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The band is best known for the hit songs “Lady” and “Come Sail Away.” This group will definitely target Power Moms in that the group was popular when power moms were young. ($60,000)

I Can Transform Ya’: Radio Contests To promote White Water Bay, Frontier City and SplashTown, we will have ads and promotional giveaways through specially selected stations. As a promotional giveaway, each station will receive a certain number of tickets pertaining to the parks located in the city. Through various promotional call-in contests decided by the radio station, the tickets will be given away three at a time. The giveaways will span a period of five months, from July to September. The total amount of listeners for all six radio stations is more than 1,168,200. The ads will add awareness to the “Transform the Norm” campaign and attract the attention of those who might not know much about the parks.

Promotions Back to School Weekend Promo Power moms said in our focus groups and interviews that special rates and coupons were big factors in deciding what their families will do for fun. To attract power moms and their children alike, we will have a Back to School Weekend Promo. Oklahoma City and Houston public schools resume class August 1, 2012. As a promotion for a last rush before school, oneday tickets will be sold for $10.00 off any ticket with the purchase of a full price ticket of equal or lesser value. The promotion will be held July 27th, 28th, and 29th at all three park locations. With the extra push before school, the parks can greatly increase revenue and buzz about the great promotions that the parks hold. To add awareness to the promotion, radio commercials will be used as well as the new Facebook page.

Show us your Scream! Photo Contest Premier Attractions Management Party Pack After buying a season pass, customers will be automatically entered in a drawing for another Premier Attractions Management Party Pack. The drawing will be held on Saturday, September 1, 2012. Limit one entry per household.

Kodak Playsport HD 1080p Waterproof Digital Camcorder ($169)

T-shirt ($12) Hat ($6) Season Pass for Following Year ($65.99) $500

Social media has impacted more than 500 million people world wide as seen with Facebook. To capitalize on this growing media, we have come up with a photo contest to allow our target audience (who use smartphones and the Internet frequently) to vote on pictures uploaded to Facebook. Some of the best photos taken in a theme park are often those taken by the rollercoaster cameras. Research showed that most tweens had smartphones or had access to one. We created the Show us your Scream! Photo Contest for Facebook. After theme park goers have ridden a roller coaster or other thrill ride, they will be able to view pictures of themselves online on the new “Transform the Norm” Website. Park goers can go to the site that night to view and purchase pictures of themselves and friends. Customers will receive various sizes and numbers of hard copies for a variety of prices. The pictures will then be mailed to them, and they will have the opportunity to download a digital copy free with any picture purchase. Once the rider has found a picture he or she likes, they will be able to post the picture on the new Premier Attractions Management LLC. Facebook page. Viewers of the page can vote on their favorite pictures. The picture with the most “likes” will win a Premier Attractions Management LLC. Party Pack. Park goers will have from May 21st through Sept. 5th 2012 to post and vote on the best picture

PR and Promotions Premier Application What’s the point? We want to truly transform the norm at Frontier City with a fully functional mobile application. This will serve several of our goals including rewarding loyal customers, driving season pass sales and gaining awareness among potential customers. It is also expandable for future objectives and monetization. Our research revealed that a majority of our target market owns smart phones and similar devices. Other research reveals a continuing trend of adoption

of these devices among our target market. There is an inherent novelty to our implementation of this technology that does not exist anywhere else. While this is a new frontier for mobile applications, we feel there is no other theme park more capable of executing this than Frontier City. The only other park to use mobile application at present is Walt Disney World, and they are currently limited to third party apps that only estimate ride wait times and offer park maps.

How does it work? The idea itself is simple, transform the norm by augmenting reality to transform Frontier City into a reallife video game. The application first drives ticket sales by allowing guests to purchase tickets straight from the device. A guest will have the option of buying a single day pass or a season pass as well as a parking pass. The transaction will be processed from the device making it easy to plan a day of fun at the park without the stress of ticket lines and long waits. Once the guest has purchased their ticket the device running the application will become the users pass to the park, similar to the way airlines allow people to use their smart phones as boarding passes. The application is not simply a park pass though, the magic happens when the app is used inside the park. Once inside the park the application becomes a game that rewards park farers and allows them to play and compete with other park guests. This is performed in two parts, one through the use of QR codes positions across the park and secondly through augmented

Fandango’s In-app ticket sales reality of the park through the application. With the application guests will scan QR codes after riding the attractions at the park to earn achievements which in turn can be used to earn rewards and bragging rights among friends. This entangles the park with the element of online gaming that keeps tweens returning to the games to earn more achievements and show them off to their friends. Challenges will be offered through the app and guests will use augmented reality through their device to view these challenges overlaid on to the real world.

Augmented Reality Maps

This use of augmented reality will also play the role of park map, using the GPS built into the device. Guests will raise their device to eye level and view the park through the devices camera, the application will overlay the real world with directions to attraction, food vendors and other points of interest. The guest may select a point of interest and the app will overlay direction to reach the attraction. If group of guests have multiple phones it will show the location of the linked guests should they separate. All of this comes together through the purchase of a park pass, if a buyer selects more than one season pass, they will be given a code to activate the pass on other devices limited to the number of season passes purchased. We also intend to use Apple’s game center to easily link guests with iPhones. This is how we will create a community of guests and allow them to compete with each other or even plan outings together. If accounts are linked it will present the opportunity to share with friends through push notification. A notification, which can be turned off if wished, will inform friends that they are at the park.

But I don’t have a smart phone? But what if they didn’t know they could do all of this awesomeness? If a smart phone user comes to the park the normal way, by buying a ticket at the window, the ticket will direct them to the app and give them a promo code to activate their account.

How much will it cost? The caliber of this application will be nothing short of exceptional, but exceptional carries a large price. We have budgeted $200,000 dollars toward the development of this application. Because of the nature of this application and the ability to expand it for future use, we feel this investment will pay for itself.

QR Promotions QR codes with 7 Eleven

WIN A PARK PARTY PACK Transform Your Drink into a camera or free tickets. Scan this QR code and get a chance to win a Frontier City Party Pack with all kinds of prizes.

Our target audience of power moms and tweens were all shown to have the power of a smartphone at their disposal. To use this medium, we have developed a system of scanning QR codes around the parks and at local Seven Elevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to allow the target audience to actively participate with the park while in attendance and throughout Oklahoma City. We plan to work with Premier Attractions Management partner Seven Eleven to sponsor a promotion using 7 Elevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark Big Gulp cup with QR codes. We intend to pay half the production cost of the cups for up to six months, and print our promotions with QR codes attached. Consumers who buy a Big Gulp will have the opportunity to scan the QR code using our mobile app for a chance to win ticket packages from Premier Attractions Management. There are currently nine Seven Elevens in Oklahoma City.

You just transformed this drink into one free ticket!

QR codes In-Park

Ooooweee! You just survived the Steel Lasso. Scan this QR code and get bragging rights. Ride as many rides as you can, and win some awesome prizes.

We will create an in-park game using QR codes. The QR codes will be placed around the park in places like ride marker signs, in stores and various other locations. Using our mobile app, park guests will be able to scan these codes. This will create a sort of achievement system, in which people can scan on their way out of a ride that they in fact rode it, or if they watched the gunfights, that they in fact watched them. They can share these achievements with their friends through the app. As an incentive to parents and wiser park farers, gaining enough achievements will grant them special benefits like free parking on their next visit or the chance to bring a friend for free. The greatest achievement will be to have scanned every park QR code, which will grant the first 20 people 1 free season pass for the next year.

Fin Novel Idea plans to use the theme “Transform the Norm” to play off of people’s desire to transform the monotony of everyday life. This theme will best position Frontier City, White Water Bay and Splashtown as places that families can go to get away from the stresses that life can throw at you. Using nontraditional advertising such as movie theatre spoofs, accompanied by traditional advertising of Internet, radio and outdoor, Premier Attractions Entertainment LLC will be able to reach the target customers of Tweens and Power Moms. This campaign will drive summer

attendance and season pass sales while also generating loyalty from target customers. We are confident that our approach in this campaign is the strongest and most likely to generate the highest return on investment. We would like to extend our appreciation to Premier Attraction Management LLC for coming to us with this opportunity to test the boundaries of our imaginations to create this comprehensive campaign. Thank you for your time and attention. We look forward to doing business with you.
