Executive Summary The Washington State Men’s Basketball team represents Washington State University and competes in the Pacific-12 Conference (Pac-12) of NCAA Division I. Men’s basketball is the second-most popular sport at Washington State, behind football, and continues to gain popularity. The Cougars have appeared in six NCAA Tournaments with a combined record of 6-6, as well as five National Invitation Tournaments with a combined record of 7-5. Our target market includes WSU students and the general public of the pacific northwest region. We plan to increase and improve the use of social media distribution channels to target and interact with a wide variety of consumers. We will also incorporate digital and print media to advertise the season as well as forms of guerilla marketing around campus. To build upon the reputation and attractiveness of the Cougar Men’s Basketball team, we will increase participation in corporate social responsibility and develop partnerships with cause-related marketing affiliates. Our edge lies in the fact that we offer a complete package of marketing strategies to target our diverse segment markets. Our affiliation with Washington State University and involvement on campus offer another offer another advantage in terms of knowledge and locality. Our long term goal is to increase ticket sales and attendance by 10% within the with a budget of $15,000.

The Challenge After losing two marquee players and facing a well-publicized series of legal issues during the 20102011 basketball season, the Washington State University Men’s Basketball faces several challenges in their mission to increase ticket sales and attendance by 10%. These include: • • •

Reputation Team attractiveness Team success

Reputation Over the course of the 2010-2011 season, Washington State University basketball players were placed under arrest on three separate occasions for possession of illegal substances. Furthermore, these players (forward Klay Thompson, guard Reggie Moore, and center DeAngelo Casto) were among the team’s most talented and recognizable players. These incidents were highly publicized in both the local and national media, and negative coverage of the team began to outweigh positive press brought on by their solid performances. Though many different types of fans were put off by these incidents, those who were members of the Pullman community were affected the most. Many community members who attend WSU basketball games are families with young children or older people with traditional values. As residents of Pullman and surrounding areas make up the majority of season ticket holders, alienating these fans would be very costly. Thus, Washington State University Men’s basketball took part in a wide variety of community service efforts prior to the 2011-2012 season, including appearances at community events and visits to elementary schools and senior centers. Team Attractiveness Since their last NCAA Tournament appearance in 2008, the Cougars have seen limited success and several personnel changes that have decreased their attractiveness. First, the departures of forward Kyle Weaver to the National Basketball Association and coach Tony Bennett to the University of Virginia left WSU without two of their most popular and recognizable figures. Forward Klay Thompson then became the team’s scoring leader and foremost superstar, and fans packed Beasley Coliseum to see what many thought to be an NBA-level talent. Sure enough, Thompson was taken 11th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft. Without a nationally-renowned coach like Tony Bennett or an NBA-caliber superstar like Kyle Weaver or Klay Thompson, making the team attractive to the public will be much more challenging that it has been over the past half-decade. They must depend on a group of young players and promising transfers to reignite that spark. Additionally, a department-wide rebranding has led to more attractive facilities, a new center-hanging scoreboard in Beasley Coliseum, and an exclusive equipment deal with Nike. Team Success The Cougars have failed to make the NCAA Tournament in each of their past three seasons. Furthermore, with Klay Thompson leaving for the NBA and DeAngelo Casto opting to play professionally in Turkey, the Cougs will start the 2011-2012 season without their top two players. Despite making the semifinals in the 2010-2011 NIT Tournament, the best finish ever for a WSU basketball team, the Cougars were predicted to finish 11th in the Pac-12 Conference in a preseason media poll. Their lack of star power, size and experience leaves them facing a difficult season. It will be a primary goal of the marketing department to cast the young team as new and energetic, rather than inexperienced. It is as important to redefine the team’s on-court image as it is to repair their image off of the court.

Situation Analysis Company/ Customer Analysis:

The Cougars come off of an exciting season which featured a lottery draft pick and a trip to Madison Square Garden for the final four of the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). However, even with the excitement of the season , attendance was down. Since 2008, WSU has seen a decrease in attendance each year in men’s basketball. Attendance over the last 5 years at WSU has been less than the Pac 10 average attendance for each home game.1 Averaging just over 7,000 fans a game,

this was the worst season for attendance in 5 years at WSU. It’s interesting to note that the Pac 10/12 also had its worst average as a conference this past year. Beasley Colusieum is setup where 32% of capacity is designated to student attendance. 2011 Breakdown 2011 Ticket Sales However, over the past 4 years, students have only filled 61% of the 32%.

These could be defined as season ticket holders, single game buyers, or mini plan purchasers. 1

Situation Analysis This is an alarming trend beacuse ticket sales consist of 38% of revenue in professional sports1. Ticket sales is the cataslyst for other revenue sources. With decreasing attendance, sponsorships go down and decrease in value, parking, Licensing Rights concessions. and merchandise sales all of Property Segmentation suffer from decreased attendance. If you Merchandies 2% Sales Concessions Ticket Sales were to think of revenue as a tree, the 2% 4% branches of that tree would be: Broadcasting/ Media Other Rights • Sponsorships 11% Ticket Sales Advertising • Naming Rights 38% Advertising • Concessions 12% Other • Merchandise Concessions • Parking Broadcasting/ Media Rights • Radio/TV Licensing Rights of 31% Property • Suites WSU doesn’t have suites or naming rights for Beasley but the other aspects they do have. Ticket sales isn’t included on the list because ticket sales are the truck of the tree and not the branches of the tree. With healthy ticket sales, there are healthy branches or other sources of revenue. Because of this, we will focus on increasing ticket sales Men's Basketball Revenue (PAC 12) in order to increase revenue for $5,000,000 the men’s basketball program at Washington State University.2 $4,000,000 WSU is the 3rd lowest money $3,000,000 maker on men’s basketball in the Pac 12 Conference. The only $2,000,000 two schools who made less was $1,000,000 Colorado ($42,000) and USC (-$800,000)3. Washington State $made just over $200,000.

Expenses

WSU had $3.5 million in expenses and generated $3.7 million in revenue. While we are able to gain a profit on the program, we feel there is still money that is being left on the table. We need to capitalize on these opportunities in order to secure financail stability for the program and the rest of the athletics department.

Situation Analysis Competitor Anaysis:

Gonzaga University is a private institution founded in 1887 with a total undergraduate enrollment of 4,805. It is located less than two hours north of WSU, in the closest city, Spokane. The Bulldogs of Gonzaga are part of the NCAA Division I West Coast Conference. The men’s basketball team is the pride and joy of the university, winning 90 percent of its games at the school’s McCarthey Athletic Center and selling out every home game, mostly due to season ticket holders and students. The Zags have appeared in the last 13 NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournaments. Their home games have much more local coverage than WSU. Their online Zags Sport Channel, gozags.zom, offers easily accessible post-game highlights, radio streaming, interviews, and press conferences. Community members also have local options for other forms of entertainment. Movie theaters, dining out, other sporting events and outdoor activities are in direct competition. In harsh economic times, consumers may only be able to choose one form of entertainment rather than multiple.

Climate:

In 2010, the WSU Men’s Basketball program made over $244,000 after expenses were paid1. This is the third worst in the PAC 12 Conferenec. Only Colorado and USC make less or lose money on their basketball program. Arizona, UCLA, and Utah are the top three money makers in the conference. Whitman County’s unemployment rate is 5.7%2. Since the unemployment rate is high, which could affect season ticket and single game sales. Spokane County will also be a focus for ticket sales. Currently, the unemployement in Spokane County is 8.6%. This will have an effect on the amount of tickets we will sell in the Spokane area.

How They Use the Product

Students primarily use men’s basketball games as a source of entertainment and social interaction. Pullman’s population is only 29,000 and located in a rural part of Eastern Washington.

How to Reach Them

Recent research shows that print media is actually making a comeback to gain the attendtion of potential buyers. This can be explained through the large amounts of digital media that is now presented to consumers. Print around campus will be one of the avenues to reach students. Digital marketing will also play a large role in reaching this group. Smart phone usage is on the rise among the 18-25 age group, which is also a large user of Social Media platforms. No matter the medium used to reach this group, the content must be relevant, interactive, and contain an updated look to catch their attention.

Price Sensitity

High - College students have limited income because their primary concern is their eductiaon. To relieve this strain, a sports pass is avaliable to purchase through each student’s ZZUIS account. 1

Marketing Strategy Digital Media

Digital technology included will be wsucougars.com, mobile applications, streaming video of players and coaches, QR codes, and creating regular desktop wallpapers for fans to download. Each form will be broken down to show specfically how each will be utilized.

WSUCOUGARS.COM

The athletics website offers a platform to provide large amounts of information. We will utilize this with banners advertising men’s basketball games, season tickets, promotions, and other men’s basketball information. Under the calendar tab, we would like to add a buy tickets link for each home game, eliminating an extra step to purchase tickets online. All branding will stay consist with the new Nike branding throughout WSU.

MOBILE APPLICATIONS

35% of the American population own a smart phone and a quarter of those users consider their mobile phone their primary form of internet usage1. Thes would focus on the Android, iPhone, and Blackberry markets because they are the largest of the smart phones operating systems. Cougars Mobile would Operating System be a free application to download and would contain Unknown 7% Windows much of the website information at wsucougars.com 4% Palm only in a mobile form. Included as content will be: 6% Android • Game schedule with promotions 35% • Live updates on game status Blackberry 24% • Gameday activities iPhone • Video highlights of previous basketball games 24% QR codes are also going to be a part of our mobile marketing efforts. Smart phones are able to download an app that reads the code and automatically takes the user to a website for game and ticketing information. These will be used to obtain promotion codes for discounts on tickets and gain more information about the basketball program. On the inside cover of this booklet, there is a QR code on the bottom right side of the poster as an example.

Marketing Strategy WALLPAPER

76% of Americans own a computer1 and all use a desktop wallpaper. WSU currently creates a desktop wallpaper for Cougar fans to download to their desktop or laptop. We will expand this from only one option to multiple options that highlight individual players and where they are from. Also included will be wallpaper from previous games of the current season for fans to relive the top plays of the season, keeping the exictement of the plays alive. The final breakdown will be as follows: • 2 team wallpapers with the full schedule • 4 individual player wallpapers highlighting that player and where they are from • 4-6 game highlight wallpapers The team posters will contain sponsors logos, a full game or home schedule, and a QR code connecting the user to promotions and ticket sales.

PRINT

Print will include poster schedules, schedule magnets, billboards, signage in the arena windows. The 18 x 24 posters will be taken around Pullman and put up in the storefront windows in at as many businesses that will allow us to. We will also use this same tactic in Spokane to promote the games in Spokane and increase attendance from the Spokane market. They will go up in buildings around campus, and be recreated as “digital signage” that will be used in the CUB on the TV monitors. Schedule magnets will used in a similar manner and given out to staff members and given to local businesses to be handed out to the general public. Posters will also be posted in the bathrooms at the last 2 home football games and wrapped on elevator doors around campus. We will use two seperate billboards, both in Spokane. These will located on the main interstate near downtown facing both directions of traffic. These will show a full game schedule but will highlight the games that will be held in Spokane and contain a QR code. The final aspect of the print marketing will be elevator wraps on campus advertising the season. This is will provide a new twist to advertising on campus that will catch the eye of students and staff.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Currently the basketball team participates in the “Reading Buddies” program at our community elementary school. Twice a week, student-athletes and Sunnyside Elementary school students read and practice their writing skills. We would like to have 100% participation from the WSU basketball team. During the off-season and summer, we would like to have team members volunteer to help children’s basketball leagues and camps within the community.

Marketing Strategy Including a cause related marketing (CRM) effort could be tricky if seen as an effort to ‘woo’ back community consumers. However, drug and alcohol abuse can be further framed as a prevalent issue across the WSU college campus. We would like to partner with Above the Influence, a young-adult geared anti-drug campaign. Above the Influence would participate in home games with handouts, posters, t-shirts, and trivia. This would provide a low-cost marketing effort that many community members will have high cause-affinity for.

GUIERLLA/ PROMOTIONAL MARKETING

The purpose behind this marketing is to grab attention of students and create a buzz around campus about upcoming games. These campaigns will be placed in high traffic areas throughout campus to advertise for the season. The first of these promotions will be setting up Playskool basketball hoops with a Coughead decal and a basketball schedule. There isn’t a funcional aspect to this promotion, it catch’s the eye of students passing by and is something a little bit different from tradional marketing. They will be put up on game days advertising a game that night and be taken down by marketing interns. The other idea was to create floor decals of the Cougar basketball floor and putting them on the ground at the Bookie near the checkout, in line at various vendors and resisdents of the CUB, and throughout the building. We will some pre-game promotions during the season. Over the course of 4 games, we will give away fly swatters and headbands to fans as they enter the arena. The fly swatters are for when there is blocked shot and the student section starts to chant “You got swatted.” The headbands are strictly for decoration purposes. Students will wear these during the game. Measurement for each of these will be done through the attendance of basketball games and surveys will be sent out to patrons of basketball games. The email addresses will come from the Ticket Office. The survey will be short to increase the completion rate. We will ask why they went to the game and how they heard about it.

Conclusion In order to execute a successful marketing campaign for the Washington State University men’s basketball team, it is important to create a multi-faceted plan that confronts the many challenges facing the program. The team’s off-court issues and the loss of several key players have added to the already pressing need for a well-rounded campaign that highlights the team’s strengths. Attendance has declined in each of the past three seasons, which has left the program on the low end of the conference with regard to revenue. Ticket sales make up over a third of this figure, so appealing to students, community, and alumni across the state is of the utmost importance. Online social media is the cornerstone of the marketing plan, which is becoming a great method of reaching fans of all ages. Multimedia , print, and television advertising will be used to reach a wide variety of fans. Ticket discounts and mini-plans are one way to increase the number of community members attending games, and these deals can be offered exclusively through sites like Twitter or Facebook. Student attendance can also be increased through in-game promotions and increased involvement in student spirit organizations like the Zzu Crew. With a budget of $15,000, this plan can rejuvenate the Cougar fan base through a combination of traditional advertising and cutting-edge online marketing.
