7. Executive Summary
KitchenAid is a United State brand specializing in kitchen
appliances. It offers a variety of products, including juicers,
blenders, ovens, and food processors, to mention a few.
KitchenAid can reach its customers through different digital
marketing channels, including Instagram and Pinterest. The
brand aims to increase awareness of its products among
millennials. So, Instagram and Pinterest would be the most ideal
channels for the brand.
Key Takeaways
One key takeaway from the results of the past campaign is that
millennials favor Instagram and Pinterest the most. Another key
takeaway is that smoothies are becoming popular among people.
Reports indicate that there has been a 9 percent rise in smoothie
consumption in the past year. Data and research also show that
blenders are being used more often to create smoothies in the
evenings. This is a clear indication that millennials still value
small snacks as compared to big meals when they are cooking
for themselves. Another major takeaway is that versatile
products are becoming valuable. Based on the information
provided, millennials value multipurpose kitchen products that
can help them accomplish multiple tasks at once.
Recommendations
KitchenAid should create advertising campaigns that appeal to
younger audiences. Based on the information provided,
KitchenAid products are utilized by a variety of people and age
8. ranges all over the globe, but the brand seems to appeal to an
older audience. Results show that forty percent of the current
audience is above the age of fifty-five. KitchenAid wants to
change this and appeal to a younger audience, particularly,
millennials.
Channels
KitchenAid should use a variety of digital marketing channels.
This includes social media platforms, such as Instagram and
Pinterest. KitchenAid aims to increase awareness of its products
among millennials. So, Instagram and Pinterest would be the
most ideal channels for these audiences. As indicated above,
millennials favor Instagram and Pinterest. They account for
around 60 percent of the audience of these channels.
Photo-sharing feature is the main reason millennials are
attracted to Instagram and Pinterest. With billions of pictures
shared, Instagram and Pinterest are the ideal places for reaching
millennials. KitchenAid has a lot to say about its products on
Instagram. For instance, the brand can showcase new and
unique products to its fans. Based on the available information,
once every 4 to 6 weeks KitchenAid launches a new product to
the market. Instagram would be the most ideal platform to show
customers how to use these products. KitchenAid can create
visual stories on Instagram to enhance brand visibility, interact
with customers, and increase brand transparency – all of which
contribute to sales and revenue increase (Israfilzade et al.,
2020). As for Pinterest, millennials love the ease that comes
with it. Pinterest makes it easy to purchase products online. Its
new tools, such as “Rich Pins”, which provides more content
about a product, ensure a more improved experience for
Pinterest users.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths
Strengths are the favorable internal processes, activities, and
behaviors that contribute to the success of the digital campaign.
This would include implementing a well-defined strategies such
as consistently posting on social media, constantly interacting
9. with customers on social media, etc.
Weaknesses
Weaknesses are negative internal factors that impact the success
of the digital campaign. KitchenAid may lack employees
dedicated to digital campaigns. Equally, an insufficient budget
may make it challenging to implement the digital campaign.
Opportunities
Opportunities are favorable external elements that KitchenAid
can take advantage of. Based on reports, a growing number of
millennials interact through the internet instead of traditional
channels. As indicated above, millennials account for around 60
percent of the audience of Pinterest and Instagram – the top
image-sharing channels. This will make it easier for KitchenAid
to reach many people.
Threats
Threats are unfavorable factors that may severely affect the
success of the digital campaign. This includes high competition
in digital spaces. Another major threat is ad blockers. Some
social media users may have ad blockers, which mean they may
not see KitchenAid advertising. Another major threat is legal
and ethical issues. Consumers are becoming more and more
concerned about personal data protection. They are constantly
demanding more privacy (Choi & Sung, 2018). This can make it
difficult for KitchenAid to meet their demands and
expectations. Personalization is very important in marketing. If
executed properly, it can help engage customers and improve
their experience. However, it is not possible to balance
consumer privacy and personalization.
Evaluation Criteria
KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are measurable goals or
values that can help KitchenAid track and measure the success
of the digital campaign. They include likes, comments, and
conversion rates. Likes show the number of times fans interact
with a social media post. Comments are the number of times
fans comment on a social media post. Both likes and comments
10. will show how engaging a post was. Conversion rate, on the
other hand, shows how many social media interactions turned
into a purchase, website visits, or any other desired action.
Overall, it reflects how effective a digital campaign is and
whether it is leading to desirable outcomes.
