This report was commissioned to determine what is the best way to promote and increase awareness of the Loud-Hailer application. Through our research we have determined that our primary target market are college students between the ages of 18-27. We chose college students so that we have an established area to reach the students, and as our research shows people download applications through word of mouth. As we target college students, they will spread the word to friends, family and colleagues about Loud-Hailer. The initial plan is to target college students in South Florida schools with plans to expand to other big markets like Seattle, New York and Austin. Our primary goal is to increase awareness of the application and Bluetooth. From our research we found that our target market believes that Bluetooth drains battery and is only useful for listening to music or talking on the phone while driving. To increase awareness we have multiple promotional activities planned out. Some include: YouTube video ads, setting up charging stations at malls, and stations that have hotspots available at events like Ultra Music Festival and 99.9 Kiss Country Chili Cook-off.

Situation Analysis
According to our research, Loud-Hailer is relatively new to our target market. Less than 10% of our surveyed participants knew what a mesh network was and that Bluetooth could be used as a way of communicating. Loud-Hailer has potential to be a new trendsetter amongst our target group, but in order to do this a great campaign is required. We have to inform our target of how the application works, explain that Bluetooth can be used as a way of communication, and dismiss the idea that it “kills your battery.�

Research
Our research began through learning more about how Loud-Hailer uses Bluetooth to work as a messaging application. We learned that “This means each node of the network can accept and forward data to a neighboring node, allowing a network to scale more easily by just adding new nodes. This is more cost effective and easier to implement than having to use additional gateway devices or access points which often also need more extensive planning to avoid clashing frequencies.” (”Bluetooth Brings Its Mesh Networking to the Internet of Things,” 2015)
LOUD-HAILER MARKETING PLAN THIRD FLOOR IDEAS
Following that research, we needed to know how Bluetooth communication could grow. “Bluetooth, as a radio is probably the fastest evolving radio standard.” For a mesh system, he said anything like an outlet or lamp can be used as a “repeater.” We need to focus on this unique and undeveloped system to reach and educate the targeted audience. We followed up by learning about current competitors on the market and their strengths, weaknesses and where Loud-Hailer can fit in the market.

S.W.O.T Analysis
• Application does not have enough reviews • Having to sign-in + make a pin in the app. • Second version of app with all the functions is still in beta. • 2GO is not an update but rather another application to download
• Being able to connect when you have • • • •
no data/service It’s a different kind of messaging/ social app Broadcasting a message to people not in your contacts Can be used as a group chat It has various uses (could be used for promotions, advertising and for regular messaging)
13
• Make a “rate us/review us” message in-app • There is opportunity for growth and further development • The name isn’t catchy enough • Bluetooth has certain misconceptions about it • Limited range • Competition is already developed and working - Firechat - Jott
• • • •
since it is a new app Opportunity for more branding Can make Bluetooth messaging mainstream Can be used to broadcast messages in universities Can become popular within schools and students

FOCUS GROUP
This study presented the findings of a focus group that was conducted at Florida International University, and presented the opinions and attitudes of seven college students. We’re interested in researching how college students feel about Bluetooth and why they believe it’s useful on their phone. We set out to develop a focus group questionnaire that would give us insight on how much college students know about Bluetooth, the common misconceptions about Bluetooth and the direction we can take to introduce the Loud-Hailer application to college students.
This study employed qualitative analysis of students enrolled in college or university. The focus group answers provided data for analysis of the students' Bluetooth knowledge and students’ attitudes and opinions about Bluetooth and messaging in general. Qualitative methods allow for discerning perceptions with richer description as opposed to statistically analyzed surveys. After further analyzing the focus group answers, we will use these answers and opinions to develop a survey to distribute to a larger number of college students.

SURVEYS The survey, consisted of 200 completed questionnaires based on information gathered from the focus group. These questions consisted of a variation of where college students go out, why they use Bluetooth and their opinion about the use of Bluetooth. We’re interested in researching the current use of how college students use Bluetooth and where Loud-Hailer can enter the current market. We set out to develop a study that would ascertain the effectiveness of Loud-Hailer’s current services, the strengths, weaknesses and misconceptions of Bluetooth and finally, finding out the best way for Loud-Hailer to be used by college students. After conducting a small focus group, we were able to identify common recurring themes and we developed a survey based on common misconceptions of Bluetooth as well as issues that college students have with Bluetooth. This led us to create a survey to further analyze where Bluetooth messaging can fit in the college student’s lifestyle in social settings.

For our study, we targeted undergraduate students, between 18-30 years of age, enrolled in Florida colleges and universities. The sample that we chose was based on non-probability sampling and convenience sampling as we sent out e-mails with the survey link to our friends, co-workers and classmates. The goal was to obtain 200 completed questionnaires out of the number of students enrolled in South Florida colleges and universities. We implored quantitative data analysis to profile what proportion of the students have certain attitudes towards when they lose signal and when they use Bluetooth. Quantitative research analysis usually involves surveying a large group of people, we surveyed 200 and having a structured questionnaire that involved close-ended, forced-choice as well as open-ended. The data serves as a more structured analysis and to analyze further, we cross-tabbed our results to find similarities between answers.

RECOMMENDATIONS
LOUD-HAILER MARKETING PLAN THIRD FLOOR IDEAS
After reviewing the results of our research we have found a few areas of opportunity with Loud-Hailer that we suggest should be revisited. 1. The Color
Our entire focus group associated the color red with words like: stop, caution, error, not working, and danger. They wanted something calmer; they suggested blue to go along with Bluetooth. Green would also be a good color because they said it showed “growth” and “go”. There is also two different logo colors. There’s the green one on the website, and the red one on the app. We suggest using one color so that the brand can be more recognizable amongst our market.
2. Two Apps
Our focus group did not understand why there are two apps instead of one. After we explained it, they thought it would be too much of a hassle to download two apps. We suggest putting it all in one app so that it is easier for our target to download and use the app.
3. Website
The domain name is the first thing on this section. If possible it should be the same as the name on the app. Next we suggest cleaning up the site a little and having a video on there that teaches our target how the application works and how to use it.
50
EVALUATION In order to prove the effectiveness of the marketing objective, various measurements were completed. A pre-campaign and a post campaign analysis was made. The behavior of our target audience in the web was learned, making it easier for our team to create applicable digital campaigns in social media. Throughout the whole campaign sale measurements were constantly made. Downloads of the app increased per month since the campaign initiated. The actual use of Loud-Hailer was also measured. The app showed to be used in certain months more than others. The months of more use were when there were large-crowd events in Miami which demonstrates that Loud-Hailer is mostly used at these type of environments where phone signal is limited. The total objective of the campaign was to have 30% of the targeted audience download Loud-Hailer and 10% of that use the app. It was achieved and proved to be successful after these evaluations.
