Section 1: Background Research
History
G
o o d will was founded in 1902 by Rev. Edgar J. Helms in Boston. Rev. Edgar J. Helms was born in Malone, New York on January 19, 1863 and passed away on December 23,1942. Rev. Helms was a Methodist Minister Early Social Innovator, and believed in the manta of “Not charity, but a chance”, meaning a job is better than a handout. Edgar Helms collected used household goods and clothing in wealthier areas within the city. He trained and hired those who were considered unemployable (those who were poor or had disabilities) to mend and repair the used goods. Goods were then resold or 2
given to the people who repaired them. The Goodwill Philosophy of “A hand up, not a hand out” was created since this system worked for the non-profit organization, which is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland.
Mission:
Mission & Vision
“Goodwill works to enhance the dignity and quality of life of individuals and families by strengthening communities, eliminating barriers to opportunity, and helping people in need reach their full potential through learning and the power of work.”
Vision:
“We have courage and are unafraid. With the prayerful cooperation of millions of our bag contributors and of our workers, we will press on till the curse of poverty and exploitation is banished from mankind.” - Rev. Edgar J. Helms (Vision remains constant even though times have changed)

The 4 P’s Products (And Services)
- Collects donations - Funded Employment job Training - Job Placement Services/help find work - Financial Education - Youth Mentoring - Affordable priced products (Clothing, electronics, household items, books, furniture, etc). - “By the Pound” stores in larger cities where items they couldn’t sell in smaller stores are marked down and sold in bulk.
Place
Since Goodwill is a donation center and retail store of used goods, their items will only be in that particular Goodwill store location. Goodwill does not manufacturer its own clothing line, interior items line, or any other retail line therefore the Goodwill brand cannot be carried in other stores. Goodwill contains a variety of brands passed down through people who have donated.

Section 2: Qualitative Research
Observational Research Who Shops Here?
A
ccording to employees, it is mostly college age to middle-aged men and women, as well as families who shop at Goodwill. Based on our observations, we are able to confirm that, but we saw a wide range of demographics of all ages, races, genders. Most people who shop there are low income, but we observed a variety of people with various income backgrounds. There is something at Goodwill for everybody regardless of income.

Testimonials & Success Stories “There is a sense of community here. I once saw a man buy coats for the children of a family that came in and couldn’t afford them. It can get emotional working here sometimes.” - Goodwill Employee (Carbondale, IL)
“Paul came to the Goodwill in June 2012 with no actual paid work experience and lacked confidence. He completed the Assessment Career Exploration Program and worked on his interviewing skills through the Metropolitan Employment and Rehabilitation services (MERS). Through Goodwill, he gained interpersonal skills and self advocacy, landing a job as a laundry attendant at The Guarters of Des Peres nursing home” 9

Key Insights B
ased on our focus group, we found the following key insights:
• Most of them were unaware that Goodwill offered career help, youth mentoring, financial education, or any other social services for that matter. • Goodwill seems to be the thrift-store of choice but not exclusively. • Every person in the Focus Group said they shop at Goodwill “every now and then.” • Most purchases were of miscellaneous items (old electronics, games, VHS movies, random party objects, etc.) And clothing.
“My experience with thrift stores have been boring at times. When I think of Salvation Army I think of Shelters; that their primary purpose is connected to shelters more so than reselling to the public. I think Goodwill offers a better view of a used clothing store when compared to other thrift stores. Goodwill just looks more attracting”. Focus Group Attendee, Male, 21

Section 4: Competitive Research
Competitors B
ased on our research findings, we have found that Salvation Army and Plato’s Closet are Goodwill’s top two strongest competitors. Presented below are the details about each competitor.
Salvation Army
• The Salvation Army is an integral part of the Christian Church • It’s objects are ‘the advancement of the Christian religion… of education, the relief of poverty, and other charitable objects beneficial to society or the community of mankind as a whole.’ • Although religious, they’re highly altruistic, ultimately making them competitive to Goodwill. • According to international statistics from 2014, there are: 15,409 corporations,108,786 employees, and 1,150,666 salvation soldiers. There has been 10,859 community development programs, 281 residential addiction dependency programs, 45 mother and baby homes, 86 projects regarding services to the armed forces, 230,113 prisoners visited, and much more. • Prices of items are reasonable
16
Plato’s Closet
• Plato’s Closet practices creative and modernized recycling in their business. • Their goal is to offer fashion conscious people great values on gently used brand name clothing lines and merchandise. • Greek philosopher Plato’s theories of reusing and preservation greatly appealed to the founders and their unique idea of recycling, which is also humanitarian, once again making them competitive to Goodwill. Their contemporary fashion and low prices also make them competitors. • Plato’s Closet was ranked #108 out of 500 in the 2015 franchise 500 revealing the impact of the newest trends and the industries poised for growth • Plato’s closet was also ranked #90 in 2015’s Fastest-Growing Franchises in the past two years.

SWOT Analysis Strengths • Very good branding and brand elements (logo, color scheme, etc). • Leading global brand • Since people are always growing out of old clothes, a large number of people donate items to Goodwill locations • Inventory pricing on used items are low • Ability to sell items for less since they are tax-exempt • Mission, vision, philosophy, and purpose are for a good cause • Variety of services; more than just a store
Weaknesses • People are unaware of the services and opportunities Goodwill offers • People do not usually like to buy used products or clothing • Product that won’t sell remains on the shelf for a longer time > costs money to ship it out to sell in bulk • Products are not as modernized or “fashionable” as some of its competitors • Limited resources to meet consumer needs
Opportunities
Threats
• Eligibility for charitable grants • Sponsor charity events (can be national or local run charities) • Can host informational sessions about their services on their radio played throughout the store • Advertise their services through non-traditional media channels • Growing availability to increase budget • Sell items online • Hipsters/modern fashion goers wanting to buy retro or outdated
• Salvation Army has similar purpose, they accept donations and offer services • Plato’s Closet purchases back clothing in a certain condition • Fashion retailers & department stores advertisements and inventory of new products and what’s in fashion • Stigma about thrift-store shopping • Online retailers • Economic crisis (people less willing to donate anything when money is tight) • People don’t have a thorough understanding of the services Goodwill offers

In terms of color meaning and psychology, blue is the color of trust and responsibility; Dark blue is a serious masculine color representing knowledge, power, and integrity, and is used quite often in the corporate world. It is also the color of the non-emotional worrier with repressed feelings which could possibly represent people’s struggles.

For example, past Halloween promotions have included the iconic Goodwill smiley “g” wearing different masks. Other promotions have displayed colorful images of various items they sell in a collage style on the side of their trucks. Some other campaigns have even featured a “see different versions of yourself” type ads where a person is standing in front of multiple mirrors, each showing the specified person wearing different clothes. An “I Will” campaign took a more modern approach with an urban style that used tiles similar to Windows 8 with sentences starting with “I will,” ending with various verbs to support Goodwill’s cause.

Section 6: Creative Strategy & Execution
The Big Idea
Give a Hand, Get A Heart.
The big idea of this campaign is to focus on charitable ambient/guerilla advertising, coupled with online advertising and a bit of traditional and nontraditional advertising. Everything will revolve around the slogan “Give a hand. Get a heart.” This charitable advertising will consist of a renovated van with Goodwill decals. This van will travel around downtown Chicago and to various parks offering free showers, haircuts/grooming, and food/water to the homeless. Along with this, the homeless will also receive a blanket and a waiver to cash in at any Goodwill store to borrow professional clothing for job interviews. Other charitable advertising will consist of: 1. Goodwill sponsored access ramps for the disabled in areas where they don’t exist. 2. Goodwill sponsored storm shelters placed throughout various parks and other high-rate homeless areas in the city to escape the rain. 3. Goodwill sponsored sleep tanks placed in parks and beaches around Lake Michigan. These will be plentiful and spaced out to minimize risk of violent competition for the sleep tank. They will be heated during the winter time. 4. “Heat canopies” placed throughout the city for people to escape from the cold during winter. 5. Transit Shelters, benches, digital posters, and billboards will play a huge factor in media display. 6. Guerrilla advertising at events where heart shaped fans with the tagline will be passed out. Doing this type of charitable advertising will likely gain publicity through news outlets and go viral throughout Chicago (free advertising) and achieve the objective of positively shaping our audience’s views of Goodwill.

At each of these events, Goodwill will hand out blue heart shaped fans and hand shaped containers with the Goodwill logo and a blue heart on them. The containers will be a sort of “goodie bag” that also includes pamphlets and brochures with information about the various services Goodwill has to offer. Another event that will take place that isn’t a Chicago regular is a Goodwill sponsored Job Fair/ Financial Life Simulation. This will be held in Grand Park in Chicago and will give people the opportunity to search for a job and participate in simulation activities to learn how to better manage their finances. Every event stand will contain a Goodwill donation box and information about the services they offer.

Evaluations B
ecause our budget is predominantly limited, and our goal is to change peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspectives and attitudes about Goodwill (Most specifically the services it offers); we must measure the results of our advertisements over a period of time (1 month) to see if they are truly effective and noticed. Overall, the most crucial information that can be observed would be the increase of consumer traffic in Goodwill stores after our campaign has been launched. We could ultimately ask these new customers how they heard of us. Overall, effectiveness could be tracked in other subtle ways as well.
Billboard: n order to calculate roughly how many people observe our billboard located on highway I-55 in Chicago, we could monitor highway traffic flow with highway monitoring/tracking devices. Since we did include social media information on our billboard, we could also keep track of website activity (Likes, etc.). This website like- tracking could also be used in our Facebook ad. Goodwill Service Van: o determine Goodwillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectiveness in helping people in need with our public service on wheels campaign, we could hand out surveys to these individuals about the help they received through our services and their ultimate opinion on our technique, along with what they plan on doing in the future (Coming to us for interview help, etc.)
