Advertising Objective
The advertisement objectives address the marketing needs of Peloton Company. Since the company anticipates increasing its market share by 20 percent, it must anchor its goals on the traditional advertising pyramid to create awareness of its main products, including stationary bicycles and treadmills (Germelmann et al. 143). The company should create high market awareness of its products and build brand reputations. Hence, the specific objectives that guide Peloton Company include the following areas.
- To achieve a 10% market growth by selling stationary bicycles and treadmills in 12 months.
- To create increased treadmills product awareness by 5 percent in the existing market.
- To increase brand loyalty by 10 percent in 12 months.
- Advertising Budget
The budget will be around $15,000 to cover different promotional activities, including pricing, social media hashtags, story scheduling, and technical marketing for stationary bicycles and treadmills. There will also be activities for all forms of broadcast, print, social media advertising, promotional designs, graphics and video scheduling, direct marketing, sales promotion, and market research for Peloton’s products such as stationary bicycles and treadmills.
Table 1 below shows the prices for different activities in the budget. The advertisement campaign will ensure that there is a 30 percent reduction in Peloton’s operational costs. The strategies for budgeting will begin with the development of the mission, vision, and strategies that support the business’s growth in a sportsmen’s target market. As a result, Peloton Company will consider various approaches to synergize with the budgetary divisions. Therefore, it will give estimates for the various departments and areas of operations in the firm, especially crucial departments, such as marketing and sales, and administrations, to provide detailed inventory control, operational expenses, purchases, and supplies.
