Abstracts
Initially attracted to the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(PSPCA) due to their commitment to the well-being and high quality care of animals, this paper
predominantly explores the strengths and weaknesses of the PSPCA's marketing plan and how
we took them into consideration while creating a new advertisement for their firm. Established in
1867 and offering a broad range of services such as adoption, spaying and neutering, wellness
and vaccine clinics, grooming and behavioral training, our ultimate goal was to successfully
promote these services in a manner in which reached the PSPCA's large client base. While their
reputation is quite substantial, unfortunately due to misperceptions of the organization, such as
the common belief that they are merely a branch under the ASPCA, has led to considerable
financial limitations within their marketing plan. Along with this significant lack of funding, we
were also informed that even though the PSCPA would ideally like to target the whole state of
Pennsylvania and surrounding areas to their services, the majority of their clientele is local.
Persuading potential customers outside of Philadelphia has been proven difficult due to various
local veterinary facilities that offer competitive pricing.
After speaking with Sara Eremus, the Marketing and Communications Manager at the
PSPCA headquarters, we found that the PSCPA's main sources of revenue are through their
spaying and neutering services along with the fees they receive through adoption. Following this
new-found knowledge, we proceeded to target and survey a variety of the PSPCA's customers to
see what services were responsible for drawing them into the facility. The results of these factors
then led to our creation of a new advertisement for the PSCPA in which highlighted these selling
points and attempted to reach a broader client base in an economically feasible manner.

Introduction
The first study The 36th
Chamber took participation in was interviewing Marketing and
Communications Manager, Sara Eremus, at the PSPCA. During this interview we set out to find
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the PSCPA. While it was crucial to learn
about their areas of strength, we focused in upon their weaknesses in order to find some of the
major problems within the firm and come up with potential marketing communication strategies
to resolve these issues. During our interview with Eremus, we heavily analyzed their marketing
situation. This analysis was done in the form of many questions in which regarded their target
market, competition, financial situation, and the extent of their marketing communication
management. We were also informed upon their current budgets and various forms of
advertising, helping us to establish what Eremus found to be the most important selling points of
the PSCPA and areas in their current marketing communications in which she felt could use
some improvement. This then prepared us with the necessary tools to partake in our second study
which was interviewing customers and creating our own advertisement.
Our team took part in interviewing 43 clients at the PSPCA headquarters. We wanted to
take a random sampling of clients and therefore surveyed these customers as they were leaving
the facility. We asked multiple questions regarding what brought them to the PSCPA, along with
their perception of the PSPCA and its current advertisements. Unfortunately due to legal barriers
we were unable to disclose client information and were limited to asking general information
questions. Though we faced these restrictions, the information we received was enough to help
us create an advertisement in which catered to not only the key elements mentioned by Eremus
in our first study, but was also delivered in a fashion that had the most potential to reach this
broad client base that we interviewed.

Study I
On January 29, 2014, The 36th
Chamber met with Ms. Sarah Eremus, the Marketing and
Communications Manager, at the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(PSPCA) headquarters. There were numerous purposes to this meeting such as analyzing the
PSPCA’s current advertising campaign, developing a SWOT analysis for the firm, as well as
identifying areas of improvement that Ms. Eremus felt were appropriate for our project. In
addition, our group received a tour of the PSPCA and gained valuable information about the
organization’s history; information we eventually incorporated in to our newly designed
advertising campaign.
Sarah Eremus is the sole operant of all marketing and communications efforts for the
PSPCA. She explained to us that it is a very challenging job because she is the only employee of
that field along with the fact of a minimal budget. She explained to us that the minimal budget
for ‘business matters’ is because the PSPCA is funded solely by donations from third party
clients. The PSPCA is a non-profit organization that receives zero dollars or support from any
governmental programs; local, state, of federal. Because the PSPCA needs to pay their staff of
expert veterinarians, nurses, and administration, the corporate aspect of the PSPCA, such as
marketing campaigns, is not the highest point on the priority list of the firm. We explained to
Ms. Eremus that because of the lack of funding, we were committed to helping her and the
PSPCA improve their marketing plan on the basis of with more knowledge of the firm, there is a
higher probability for more clients, thus generating more revenue for the PSPCA. Throughout
the interview, Ms. Eremus referred to the extensive history of the PSPCA, one of their key
strengths.
5
Colonel M. Richards Muklé founded the PSPCA in 1867. The Colonel, a Philadelphia
businessman, was outraged by seeing the work horses of the city treated as expendable pieces of
machinery. After witnessing these horses being beaten and worked to death he decided to take
action to form the PSPCA, the first humane society of Pennsylvania, and the second humane
society in the United States. Working with the Pennsylvania railroad, the Society helped design a
new and humane livestock car that made travel easier for cattle, sheep, swine and poultry.
Securing the humane treatment of agricultural and pet animals became a natural part of the
Pennsylvania SPCA and was enforceable under its legal jurisdiction. As the Society gained
successes in helping horses it was able to further expand its attention to other areas, like
abandoned pets or offspring of pets that could not be properly cared for by the owner. Ms.
Eremus explained to us that throughout the 146 years of operation, one thing has remained in the
constant in the PSPCA: being an advocate for those that do not have a voice. She also explained
that the PSPCA will take in any animal, regardless of how exotic, to ensure their safety and to
initiate the process of finding that animal the proper home.
The interview with Sarah Eremus was a two-part process. First, the group walked
through the entire headquarters building, emphasizing time in the shelter area, and then moving
to a formal meeting room to discuss the purpose of our group, the goals we had, and what
ultimately we wanted to provide to the PSPCA. While walking through the shelter, Ms. Eremus
highlighted a few key points that we took into great consideration while making our new
advertisement. First, Ms. Eremus told us about the array of animals the PSPCA receives either
from their Law Enforcement division, or by former owners; the PSPCA is unbiased when it
comes to this matter. Next, she informed us about the population of animals in the shelter that
have been housed there for an extended period of time, some in excess of a year. We took these
6
points in to consideration because we believed that with a greater advertising campaign
highlighting the variety of animals available, and the life long battle the animals in the shelter in
finding a proper home, would strike an emotional connection to prospects and encourage them to
visit the shelter to get a first hand experience with the animals and the organization.
Once we moved to the meeting room, we began to discuss our group goals, the goals of
the PSPCA, the PSPCA’s current advertising strategy, and areas of improvement we felt that we
could assist in. We first began by constructing an informal SWOT analysis, highlighting two to
three main points of focus for each category. Next, we discussed the current advertisements and
the reactions that customers provided towards them. From there, we discussed how we as a
group could take the current advertisements and modify them to provide an even greater reaction
from the public. We ended the meeting with Ms. Eremus by finalizing the points of the SWOT
analysis and how we could tie in the opportunities and strengths to the new advertisement.
After returning from the PSPCA, The 36th
Chamber met to create a detailed SWOT
analysis. We came to the conclusion that although the weaknesses and strengths are significant,
the strengths and opportunities are more advanced and can provide a beneficial foundation for a
successful advertisement.
The strengths of the PSPCA include, the PSPCA’s regarded and extensive history in
Pennsylvania, a highly trained staff, multiple animal care services at affordable costs, and
increasing efforts to make media appearances covering Pennsylvania. The extensive history of
the PSPCA and their renowned veterinary staff serve two purposes. It fosters a very loyal
customer base as well as creates a greater acceptance for prospects. Pet owners see their pets as
another family member; one would not simply trust any organization to provide health care for
their pet if they had a bad experience, or did not believe in the abilities of that organization.
7
The weaknesses of the PSPCA are financial capabilities because of the fluctuation of
funds delivered, non-beneficial timeslots for broadcastings, the confusion and assumed
correlation between the PSPCA and the ASPCA, and the single PSPCA office located in
Philadelphia.
The opportunities for the PSPCA are the amount of construction occurring in the city, the
PSPCA’s close proximity to center city enabling a great opportunity for out-of-home advertising,
the accessibility to the PSPCA, the brand name, and the high population of the area the PSPCA is
located in.
Unfortunately, the PSPCA’s single operating headquarters is their largest threat. Chain
corporations such as pet-co and pet-smart also provide adoption abilities with similar pets and
are also more accessible to the general population of Pennsylvania. The next threat is the use of
the Internet; this enables potential pet owners to locate all types of pets specific to their needs.
Finally, pet owners are more inclined to use the services of a veterinarian that is closer to their
place of employment or home; especially if they do not live close to the PSPCA.
In conclusion, The 36th
Chamber designed a new print advertisement that could be used
universally in all facets of advertising. Based on the applicability of this ad, we recommend that
the PSPCA uses this ad as a flyer to post in densely populated areas. To achieve this, we
recommend that the PSPCA mails a stock of the flyers to police and fire departments who can
encounter animals that have been either harmed by their owner, or displaced due to an event. In
addition to posting these ads with public service agencies, we recommend the PSPCA to display
these flyers at schools and universities, starting in the Philadelphia area, and gradually expanding
to cover Pennsylvania. Because of the large majorities of students and families in this area, if a
child was to bring home an ad promoting the services for the PSPCA, it could lead to a plethora
8
of benefits to the organization as well as the customer. Finally, the ad is clear, concise, and
simple, which enables it to be constructed in to an advertisement on public transportation such as
a banner on a city bus, or a cap for the top of a taxi cab. This would expose the PSPCA to a mass
amount of people throughout the Philadelphia area because of the coverage of these vehicles.
This method of out-of-home advertising could be dually applied to billboards posted throughout
Pennsylvania. We recommend that the PSPCA uses their ‘donation-only-funding’ to their
advantage in seeking a sponsorship from a donating party or the donating party paying for a
billboard with the new advertisement on the billboard.
STUDY II
After meeting with Sarah Eremus, the Marketing and Communications Manager for the
PSPCA, The 36th
Chamber compiled a list of the areas of highest focus in each category of
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT). Based on these areas per category is
where our group developed the questions we used to interview clients. The purpose of having
interview with clients is to have better understanding how clients think about PSPCA and what
are the strengths and weaknesses that PSPCA is facing.
On February 8th and 10th, 2014, our group went to PSPCA headquarters to complete
face-to face interviews with 43 clients. We interviewed those clients at the reception center of
PSPCA after they finished their services. We want to target on clients who either have associated
with PSPCA before or had services with PSPCA. Therefore, we could ask more questions
regarding on the perceptions on PSPCA and its current advertisement strategies. We use a simple
random sampling method to sample the clients.
9
Due to legal barriers, we are unable to disclose information regarding the client’s name,
address, age, or gender. Instead, we set up some questions to ask their pets’ general information.
According to the survey, 6 out of 10 pets had services at PSPCA are puppy or kitten. Only 3 out
of 10 pets are adult and 1 out of 10 is senior pets. In addition, over 70% of pets had services at
PSPCA are dogs and over 60% are male. In the survey, we set up few questions to ask customers
what services they are interested and why they are interested in (Question 4 and 5). After the
survey, we find out over 70% of customers are interested in vaccine clinic and wellness clinic.
And the top three seasons why they choose PSPCA are low cost, close distance, and the previous
service experience, which are accounted for 58%, 37%, and 19% of total. Last but not least, we
set up a question to ask customers where/how they heard about PSPCA. We could notice that
customers knowing PSPCA are mainly from PSPCA website (37%), past service experience with
PSPCA (26%), and word of mouth (19%).
Based on the interviews with the clients, there is a strong correlation between the primary
areas of focus and concern with the SWOT analysis and the client’s perception of the firm. The
strengths of the PSPCA include, the PSPCA’s highly regarded and extensive history in
Pennsylvania, a highly trained staff, multiple animal care services at affordable costs, and
increasing efforts to make media appearances covering Pennsylvania. The Strengths of the
PSPCA intertwine with each other, resulting categories of the interview being used more than
once.
With respect to the history of the PSPCA, 28 of the 43 interviewed clients answered that
they chose to use the PSPCA through knowledge of the firm by means of recommendation from
a third party, reputation of the organization, or based on prior use of the PSPCA’s services. This
is a significant statistic because it shows that the extensive and respected history of the PSPCA
10
being active in Pennsylvania has generated a larger client base. Pet owners see their pets as
another family member; one would not simply trust any organization to provide health care for
their pet if they had a bad experience, or did not believe in the abilities of that organization.
In addition to the correlation of the interview to the SWOT analysis, 33 out of 43 chose to
use the PSPCA based on prior services (8) while 25 chose to use the PSCPA based on the cost of
the appointment. Out of all of the strengths the PSPCA has to offer, the PSPCA keeps providing
the best animal care at an affordable cost, at the top of their list. These two factors combined
with 4 clients stating that the reason of choosing the PSPCA was because of the ease of
scheduling an appointment, continues to add a positive support to the Strengths of the PSPCA.
Finally, 16 out of 43 clients chose the PSPCA based on recommendation or witnessing a
TV/Radio broadcasting. 15 out of the 16 clients fell under the recommendation category, leaving
one 1 client in the TV/Radio broadcast category. This last statistic brings the analysis in to the
next part of the SWOT analysis: weaknesses.
One of the first weaknesses discussed in our interview was the ongoing struggle to
promote the PSPCA through the media. Although the PSPCA has had numerous Radio
broadcastings, the broadcastings have not been at the most optimal times for listeners to; they
have occurred before 6:30am and after 8:30pm. The PSPCA would like to communicate more
through television commercials and radio broadcastings, but the expenses associated with such
methods cause complications.
Another aspect of this weakness is the confusion between the SPCA, and the PSPCA,
potential clients hear the term ‘PSPCA’ and automatically connect it to the SPCA; these two
firms are not the same. A recommendation by The 36th
Chamber is to budget more funds to
11
broadcasting to assist in clarifying the difference. However, like stated previously, finances are
the primary weakness for the PSPCA.
Financial capabilities are the greatest weaknesses for the PSPCA; the organization is a
non-government funded and a non-profit organization. The PSPCA receives zero funds from
local, state, or federal government; the primary source of funding is through pet adoptions,
leaving the majority of the burden to support the organization on client donations. However, as
stated in the Strengths, the organization has a strong client base, with a client base expanding as
shown by those who chose the PSPCA because of prior experience and recommendation. ‘Prior
services’ extends to all facets of the PSPCA, including pet adoption, the leading income
generator for the firm.
The final weakness of the PSPCA is their location. The PSCPA has one headquarter in
operation, located in North Philadelphia. This limits their reach, accompanied with the fact that
the physical location of the headquarters where all operations are held is not the easiest access
from main roads. This is represented by having only 16 of 43 clients choosing the PSPCA based
on proximity to the client’s place of employment or home. However, this threat in particular can
be turned in to a great opportunity.
An opportunity for the PSPCA, regarding their close proximity to Philadelphia, is the
amount of construction occurring in the city. The construction of new buildings leads to an
increase in population; out of the population of employees in the newly constructed buildings,
increases the probability of pet owners as well. The PSPCA can use this to as an opportunity to
increase their client base through broadcasting as well as their location to one of the heaviest
populated areas of Pennsylvania. Because there is an expansion of buildings, more people will be
12
commuting to work, this gives the PSPCA a greater opportunity to communicate via TV/ Radio
broadcasts during the primary commuting hours, to a greater audience.
The services the PSPCA provides coupled with their close proximity to center city need
to be included in the broadcasts. According to Google Maps, an average round trip from Center
City, to the PSPCA headquarters, and back, is 30 minutes. This provides clients working in the
densely populated area of Center City to bring their pets to a top-care, highly regarded clinic, at
an affordable cost, without having to go out of their way. To further this opportunity is the
accessibility of public transportation at any time to and from the PSPCA.
This opportunity affects every other attribute of the PSPCA, an increase of verbal
promotion is inevitable creating more recommendations, and these recommendations create an
opportunity for an increase in pet adoptions, generating greater income for the firm, making it
less reliable on client donations to operate.
Unfortunately, the PSPCA’s single operating headquarters is their largest threat.
Pennsylvania is 45, 310 square miles; the state is too large to have the PSPCA be the most used
organization for pet adoptions and health care. Chain corporations such as pet-co and pet-smart
also provide adoption abilities with similar pets and are also more accessible to the general
population of Pennsylvania. In addition to this, the expansion of the Internet enables potential pet
owners to locate all types of pets specific to their needs. Also, pet owners are more inclined to
use the services of a veterinarian that is closer to their place of employment or home; especially
if they do not live close to the PSPCA. The best solution to this is for the PSPCA to affiliate
themselves with the ‘pet corporations’ by donating pets to the businesses for adoptions, and in
return the PSPCA would receive a percentage of the profit from the sale of a pet.
13
In conclusion, our group recommends PSPCA still keeps showing their biggest strengths,
low cost and well-established firm, on their advertisements. In addition, PSPCA should focus
more on their print advertisements, which is an easier way to attract their targeting group.
SUGGESTED ADVERTISEMENTS AND CONCLUSION
As we began designing the advertisement, it proved to be a much more arduous task than
we had previously thought. Considering both the PSPCA’s motives and goals and the customers’
wants and needs, we sought to create a design that blended these often differing aspects together.
The PSPCA continues to contend with misperceptions about the firm, making it essential for this
advertisement to remain consistent to the company’s identity. As a result, the ad strays from the
PSPCA’s use of orange to focus on the blue used by the PSPCA, attempting to create a clear
separation between the two firms. With only two out of five people surveyed having consistent
television or Internet access, we chose to create a print ad. Recalling that only one out of forty-
three people chose the firm based on TV or radio advertisements, this print/flyer ad is
economically realistic for the firm and is capable of reaching its target market. Along with the
PSPCA’s commitment to educate, the firm stressed its family environment, leading us to blend
aspects of a human and an animal to suggest this relationship. Location presented both a threat
and an opportunity with only 16 of 43 clients choosing the firm based on proximity to the client’s
place of employment or home. With this mind, certain keywords, such as “all of Pennsylvania,”
and the logo became significant aspect of the ad to reinforce the notion that the firm serves much
more than just Philadelphia. The PSPCA’s reputation for effective and affordable animal care
played a significant role in how we approached this ad. With 33 out of 43 choosing to use the
PSPCA based on prior services and 25 based on the cost of the appointment, it was essential to
14
relay the firm’s low-cost and long history in animal care (“since 1867”). In hinting at adoption,
the ad alludes to the vast array of services that the firm provides. With that being said, our
advertisement intends to not only attract potential customers towards one of the PSPCA’s highest
sources of revenue but also to reflect the firm’s commitment to education.
Upon meeting with the PSPCA’s sole marketer, Sarah Eremus, we were able to analyze
the firm’s current advertising strategies to identify key areas that we could improve on during our
project. Despite a very limited budget, we were committed to realistically improving the firm’s
marketing plan, highlighting critical strengths, such as the PSPCA’s long history in animal care,
an extensive and highly trained staff, and an array of affordable services provided. Although the
PSPCA lacks the funds to market towards all of Pennsylvania, there are opportunities to create
out-of-home advertisements, taking advantage of its strong brand name and the Philadelphia’s
high population. To continue to gain a better understanding of how the PSPCA should advertise,
we met with 43 customers who had past experiences with the firm. With 28 of the 43 customers
choosing to use the PSPCA through knowledge of the firm by means of recommendation or the
established reputation of the organization, it is key for the firm to continue to make their logo
and its tagline (“since 1867”) an integral piece of the ad. Considering the ongoing struggle to
reach targeted markets through certain media platforms, such as radio and TV, print
advertisements are the most viable option for the firm. Being a non-government funded and a
non-profit organization, financial capabilities are the greatest weaknesses for the PSPCA. As a
result, it is necessary to present a strong identity in its advertising, emphasizing its location
(Pennsylvania) and its blue color to limit confusion between itself and the ASPCA to maximize
potential donations and revenue.

Pennsylvania SPCA
Dear Ms. Eremus of the Pennsylvania SPCA,
First of all, we deeply appreciate your invaluable help through the interview early in the
----- quarter. As a class team project in “Advertising and Integrated Marketing
Communications (MKTG322)” provided by the Department of Marketing at the LeBow
College of Business, Drexel University, we have conducted an advertising research
project for your firm based on important issues that we identified via interview with you.
As a result, we gathered data from relevant customers and analyzed them through the
quarter. Attached is our brief summary of the research project. In the summary, we
identify some strengths and weakness of your firm in terms of your marketing
communication strategy. We also provide some recommendations based on opinions of
our respondents (your customers and/or prospects). Our research is preliminary in nature.
However, we hope that these findings are helpful for your future management.
Since this is one of several course assignments, we would like you to sign this letter and
return it to us.
Again, thank you very much for your great help.
Best regards,
Matthew Herman, Connor McLoughlin, Samantha Stahl and Ao Tan

  • 3. Abstracts Initially attracted to the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PSPCA) due to their commitment to the well-being and high quality care of animals, this paper predominantly explores the strengths and weaknesses of the PSPCA's marketing plan and how we took them into consideration while creating a new advertisement for their firm. Established in 1867 and offering a broad range of services such as adoption, spaying and neutering, wellness and vaccine clinics, grooming and behavioral training, our ultimate goal was to successfully promote these services in a manner in which reached the PSPCA's large client base. While their reputation is quite substantial, unfortunately due to misperceptions of the organization, such as the common belief that they are merely a branch under the ASPCA, has led to considerable financial limitations within their marketing plan. Along with this significant lack of funding, we were also informed that even though the PSCPA would ideally like to target the whole state of Pennsylvania and surrounding areas to their services, the majority of their clientele is local. Persuading potential customers outside of Philadelphia has been proven difficult due to various local veterinary facilities that offer competitive pricing. After speaking with Sara Eremus, the Marketing and Communications Manager at the PSPCA headquarters, we found that the PSCPA's main sources of revenue are through their spaying and neutering services along with the fees they receive through adoption. Following this new-found knowledge, we proceeded to target and survey a variety of the PSPCA's customers to see what services were responsible for drawing them into the facility. The results of these factors then led to our creation of a new advertisement for the PSCPA in which highlighted these selling points and attempted to reach a broader client base in an economically feasible manner. 3
  • 4. Introduction The first study The 36th Chamber took participation in was interviewing Marketing and Communications Manager, Sara Eremus, at the PSPCA. During this interview we set out to find the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the PSCPA. While it was crucial to learn about their areas of strength, we focused in upon their weaknesses in order to find some of the major problems within the firm and come up with potential marketing communication strategies to resolve these issues. During our interview with Eremus, we heavily analyzed their marketing situation. This analysis was done in the form of many questions in which regarded their target market, competition, financial situation, and the extent of their marketing communication management. We were also informed upon their current budgets and various forms of advertising, helping us to establish what Eremus found to be the most important selling points of the PSCPA and areas in their current marketing communications in which she felt could use some improvement. This then prepared us with the necessary tools to partake in our second study which was interviewing customers and creating our own advertisement. Our team took part in interviewing 43 clients at the PSPCA headquarters. We wanted to take a random sampling of clients and therefore surveyed these customers as they were leaving the facility. We asked multiple questions regarding what brought them to the PSCPA, along with their perception of the PSPCA and its current advertisements. Unfortunately due to legal barriers we were unable to disclose client information and were limited to asking general information questions. Though we faced these restrictions, the information we received was enough to help us create an advertisement in which catered to not only the key elements mentioned by Eremus in our first study, but was also delivered in a fashion that had the most potential to reach this broad client base that we interviewed. 4
  • 5. Study I On January 29, 2014, The 36th Chamber met with Ms. Sarah Eremus, the Marketing and Communications Manager, at the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PSPCA) headquarters. There were numerous purposes to this meeting such as analyzing the PSPCA’s current advertising campaign, developing a SWOT analysis for the firm, as well as identifying areas of improvement that Ms. Eremus felt were appropriate for our project. In addition, our group received a tour of the PSPCA and gained valuable information about the organization’s history; information we eventually incorporated in to our newly designed advertising campaign. Sarah Eremus is the sole operant of all marketing and communications efforts for the PSPCA. She explained to us that it is a very challenging job because she is the only employee of that field along with the fact of a minimal budget. She explained to us that the minimal budget for ‘business matters’ is because the PSPCA is funded solely by donations from third party clients. The PSPCA is a non-profit organization that receives zero dollars or support from any governmental programs; local, state, of federal. Because the PSPCA needs to pay their staff of expert veterinarians, nurses, and administration, the corporate aspect of the PSPCA, such as marketing campaigns, is not the highest point on the priority list of the firm. We explained to Ms. Eremus that because of the lack of funding, we were committed to helping her and the PSPCA improve their marketing plan on the basis of with more knowledge of the firm, there is a higher probability for more clients, thus generating more revenue for the PSPCA. Throughout the interview, Ms. Eremus referred to the extensive history of the PSPCA, one of their key strengths. 5
  • 6. Colonel M. Richards Muklé founded the PSPCA in 1867. The Colonel, a Philadelphia businessman, was outraged by seeing the work horses of the city treated as expendable pieces of machinery. After witnessing these horses being beaten and worked to death he decided to take action to form the PSPCA, the first humane society of Pennsylvania, and the second humane society in the United States. Working with the Pennsylvania railroad, the Society helped design a new and humane livestock car that made travel easier for cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. Securing the humane treatment of agricultural and pet animals became a natural part of the Pennsylvania SPCA and was enforceable under its legal jurisdiction. As the Society gained successes in helping horses it was able to further expand its attention to other areas, like abandoned pets or offspring of pets that could not be properly cared for by the owner. Ms. Eremus explained to us that throughout the 146 years of operation, one thing has remained in the constant in the PSPCA: being an advocate for those that do not have a voice. She also explained that the PSPCA will take in any animal, regardless of how exotic, to ensure their safety and to initiate the process of finding that animal the proper home. The interview with Sarah Eremus was a two-part process. First, the group walked through the entire headquarters building, emphasizing time in the shelter area, and then moving to a formal meeting room to discuss the purpose of our group, the goals we had, and what ultimately we wanted to provide to the PSPCA. While walking through the shelter, Ms. Eremus highlighted a few key points that we took into great consideration while making our new advertisement. First, Ms. Eremus told us about the array of animals the PSPCA receives either from their Law Enforcement division, or by former owners; the PSPCA is unbiased when it comes to this matter. Next, she informed us about the population of animals in the shelter that have been housed there for an extended period of time, some in excess of a year. We took these 6
  • 7. points in to consideration because we believed that with a greater advertising campaign highlighting the variety of animals available, and the life long battle the animals in the shelter in finding a proper home, would strike an emotional connection to prospects and encourage them to visit the shelter to get a first hand experience with the animals and the organization. Once we moved to the meeting room, we began to discuss our group goals, the goals of the PSPCA, the PSPCA’s current advertising strategy, and areas of improvement we felt that we could assist in. We first began by constructing an informal SWOT analysis, highlighting two to three main points of focus for each category. Next, we discussed the current advertisements and the reactions that customers provided towards them. From there, we discussed how we as a group could take the current advertisements and modify them to provide an even greater reaction from the public. We ended the meeting with Ms. Eremus by finalizing the points of the SWOT analysis and how we could tie in the opportunities and strengths to the new advertisement. After returning from the PSPCA, The 36th Chamber met to create a detailed SWOT analysis. We came to the conclusion that although the weaknesses and strengths are significant, the strengths and opportunities are more advanced and can provide a beneficial foundation for a successful advertisement. The strengths of the PSPCA include, the PSPCA’s regarded and extensive history in Pennsylvania, a highly trained staff, multiple animal care services at affordable costs, and increasing efforts to make media appearances covering Pennsylvania. The extensive history of the PSPCA and their renowned veterinary staff serve two purposes. It fosters a very loyal customer base as well as creates a greater acceptance for prospects. Pet owners see their pets as another family member; one would not simply trust any organization to provide health care for their pet if they had a bad experience, or did not believe in the abilities of that organization. 7
  • 8. The weaknesses of the PSPCA are financial capabilities because of the fluctuation of funds delivered, non-beneficial timeslots for broadcastings, the confusion and assumed correlation between the PSPCA and the ASPCA, and the single PSPCA office located in Philadelphia. The opportunities for the PSPCA are the amount of construction occurring in the city, the PSPCA’s close proximity to center city enabling a great opportunity for out-of-home advertising, the accessibility to the PSPCA, the brand name, and the high population of the area the PSPCA is located in. Unfortunately, the PSPCA’s single operating headquarters is their largest threat. Chain corporations such as pet-co and pet-smart also provide adoption abilities with similar pets and are also more accessible to the general population of Pennsylvania. The next threat is the use of the Internet; this enables potential pet owners to locate all types of pets specific to their needs. Finally, pet owners are more inclined to use the services of a veterinarian that is closer to their place of employment or home; especially if they do not live close to the PSPCA. In conclusion, The 36th Chamber designed a new print advertisement that could be used universally in all facets of advertising. Based on the applicability of this ad, we recommend that the PSPCA uses this ad as a flyer to post in densely populated areas. To achieve this, we recommend that the PSPCA mails a stock of the flyers to police and fire departments who can encounter animals that have been either harmed by their owner, or displaced due to an event. In addition to posting these ads with public service agencies, we recommend the PSPCA to display these flyers at schools and universities, starting in the Philadelphia area, and gradually expanding to cover Pennsylvania. Because of the large majorities of students and families in this area, if a child was to bring home an ad promoting the services for the PSPCA, it could lead to a plethora 8
  • 9. of benefits to the organization as well as the customer. Finally, the ad is clear, concise, and simple, which enables it to be constructed in to an advertisement on public transportation such as a banner on a city bus, or a cap for the top of a taxi cab. This would expose the PSPCA to a mass amount of people throughout the Philadelphia area because of the coverage of these vehicles. This method of out-of-home advertising could be dually applied to billboards posted throughout Pennsylvania. We recommend that the PSPCA uses their ‘donation-only-funding’ to their advantage in seeking a sponsorship from a donating party or the donating party paying for a billboard with the new advertisement on the billboard. STUDY II After meeting with Sarah Eremus, the Marketing and Communications Manager for the PSPCA, The 36th Chamber compiled a list of the areas of highest focus in each category of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT). Based on these areas per category is where our group developed the questions we used to interview clients. The purpose of having interview with clients is to have better understanding how clients think about PSPCA and what are the strengths and weaknesses that PSPCA is facing. On February 8th and 10th, 2014, our group went to PSPCA headquarters to complete face-to face interviews with 43 clients. We interviewed those clients at the reception center of PSPCA after they finished their services. We want to target on clients who either have associated with PSPCA before or had services with PSPCA. Therefore, we could ask more questions regarding on the perceptions on PSPCA and its current advertisement strategies. We use a simple random sampling method to sample the clients. 9
  • 10. Due to legal barriers, we are unable to disclose information regarding the client’s name, address, age, or gender. Instead, we set up some questions to ask their pets’ general information. According to the survey, 6 out of 10 pets had services at PSPCA are puppy or kitten. Only 3 out of 10 pets are adult and 1 out of 10 is senior pets. In addition, over 70% of pets had services at PSPCA are dogs and over 60% are male. In the survey, we set up few questions to ask customers what services they are interested and why they are interested in (Question 4 and 5). After the survey, we find out over 70% of customers are interested in vaccine clinic and wellness clinic. And the top three seasons why they choose PSPCA are low cost, close distance, and the previous service experience, which are accounted for 58%, 37%, and 19% of total. Last but not least, we set up a question to ask customers where/how they heard about PSPCA. We could notice that customers knowing PSPCA are mainly from PSPCA website (37%), past service experience with PSPCA (26%), and word of mouth (19%). Based on the interviews with the clients, there is a strong correlation between the primary areas of focus and concern with the SWOT analysis and the client’s perception of the firm. The strengths of the PSPCA include, the PSPCA’s highly regarded and extensive history in Pennsylvania, a highly trained staff, multiple animal care services at affordable costs, and increasing efforts to make media appearances covering Pennsylvania. The Strengths of the PSPCA intertwine with each other, resulting categories of the interview being used more than once. With respect to the history of the PSPCA, 28 of the 43 interviewed clients answered that they chose to use the PSPCA through knowledge of the firm by means of recommendation from a third party, reputation of the organization, or based on prior use of the PSPCA’s services. This is a significant statistic because it shows that the extensive and respected history of the PSPCA 10
  • 11. being active in Pennsylvania has generated a larger client base. Pet owners see their pets as another family member; one would not simply trust any organization to provide health care for their pet if they had a bad experience, or did not believe in the abilities of that organization. In addition to the correlation of the interview to the SWOT analysis, 33 out of 43 chose to use the PSPCA based on prior services (8) while 25 chose to use the PSCPA based on the cost of the appointment. Out of all of the strengths the PSPCA has to offer, the PSPCA keeps providing the best animal care at an affordable cost, at the top of their list. These two factors combined with 4 clients stating that the reason of choosing the PSPCA was because of the ease of scheduling an appointment, continues to add a positive support to the Strengths of the PSPCA. Finally, 16 out of 43 clients chose the PSPCA based on recommendation or witnessing a TV/Radio broadcasting. 15 out of the 16 clients fell under the recommendation category, leaving one 1 client in the TV/Radio broadcast category. This last statistic brings the analysis in to the next part of the SWOT analysis: weaknesses. One of the first weaknesses discussed in our interview was the ongoing struggle to promote the PSPCA through the media. Although the PSPCA has had numerous Radio broadcastings, the broadcastings have not been at the most optimal times for listeners to; they have occurred before 6:30am and after 8:30pm. The PSPCA would like to communicate more through television commercials and radio broadcastings, but the expenses associated with such methods cause complications. Another aspect of this weakness is the confusion between the SPCA, and the PSPCA, potential clients hear the term ‘PSPCA’ and automatically connect it to the SPCA; these two firms are not the same. A recommendation by The 36th Chamber is to budget more funds to 11
  • 12. broadcasting to assist in clarifying the difference. However, like stated previously, finances are the primary weakness for the PSPCA. Financial capabilities are the greatest weaknesses for the PSPCA; the organization is a non-government funded and a non-profit organization. The PSPCA receives zero funds from local, state, or federal government; the primary source of funding is through pet adoptions, leaving the majority of the burden to support the organization on client donations. However, as stated in the Strengths, the organization has a strong client base, with a client base expanding as shown by those who chose the PSPCA because of prior experience and recommendation. ‘Prior services’ extends to all facets of the PSPCA, including pet adoption, the leading income generator for the firm. The final weakness of the PSPCA is their location. The PSCPA has one headquarter in operation, located in North Philadelphia. This limits their reach, accompanied with the fact that the physical location of the headquarters where all operations are held is not the easiest access from main roads. This is represented by having only 16 of 43 clients choosing the PSPCA based on proximity to the client’s place of employment or home. However, this threat in particular can be turned in to a great opportunity. An opportunity for the PSPCA, regarding their close proximity to Philadelphia, is the amount of construction occurring in the city. The construction of new buildings leads to an increase in population; out of the population of employees in the newly constructed buildings, increases the probability of pet owners as well. The PSPCA can use this to as an opportunity to increase their client base through broadcasting as well as their location to one of the heaviest populated areas of Pennsylvania. Because there is an expansion of buildings, more people will be 12
  • 13. commuting to work, this gives the PSPCA a greater opportunity to communicate via TV/ Radio broadcasts during the primary commuting hours, to a greater audience. The services the PSPCA provides coupled with their close proximity to center city need to be included in the broadcasts. According to Google Maps, an average round trip from Center City, to the PSPCA headquarters, and back, is 30 minutes. This provides clients working in the densely populated area of Center City to bring their pets to a top-care, highly regarded clinic, at an affordable cost, without having to go out of their way. To further this opportunity is the accessibility of public transportation at any time to and from the PSPCA. This opportunity affects every other attribute of the PSPCA, an increase of verbal promotion is inevitable creating more recommendations, and these recommendations create an opportunity for an increase in pet adoptions, generating greater income for the firm, making it less reliable on client donations to operate. Unfortunately, the PSPCA’s single operating headquarters is their largest threat. Pennsylvania is 45, 310 square miles; the state is too large to have the PSPCA be the most used organization for pet adoptions and health care. Chain corporations such as pet-co and pet-smart also provide adoption abilities with similar pets and are also more accessible to the general population of Pennsylvania. In addition to this, the expansion of the Internet enables potential pet owners to locate all types of pets specific to their needs. Also, pet owners are more inclined to use the services of a veterinarian that is closer to their place of employment or home; especially if they do not live close to the PSPCA. The best solution to this is for the PSPCA to affiliate themselves with the ‘pet corporations’ by donating pets to the businesses for adoptions, and in return the PSPCA would receive a percentage of the profit from the sale of a pet. 13
  • 14. In conclusion, our group recommends PSPCA still keeps showing their biggest strengths, low cost and well-established firm, on their advertisements. In addition, PSPCA should focus more on their print advertisements, which is an easier way to attract their targeting group. SUGGESTED ADVERTISEMENTS AND CONCLUSION As we began designing the advertisement, it proved to be a much more arduous task than we had previously thought. Considering both the PSPCA’s motives and goals and the customers’ wants and needs, we sought to create a design that blended these often differing aspects together. The PSPCA continues to contend with misperceptions about the firm, making it essential for this advertisement to remain consistent to the company’s identity. As a result, the ad strays from the PSPCA’s use of orange to focus on the blue used by the PSPCA, attempting to create a clear separation between the two firms. With only two out of five people surveyed having consistent television or Internet access, we chose to create a print ad. Recalling that only one out of forty- three people chose the firm based on TV or radio advertisements, this print/flyer ad is economically realistic for the firm and is capable of reaching its target market. Along with the PSPCA’s commitment to educate, the firm stressed its family environment, leading us to blend aspects of a human and an animal to suggest this relationship. Location presented both a threat and an opportunity with only 16 of 43 clients choosing the firm based on proximity to the client’s place of employment or home. With this mind, certain keywords, such as “all of Pennsylvania,” and the logo became significant aspect of the ad to reinforce the notion that the firm serves much more than just Philadelphia. The PSPCA’s reputation for effective and affordable animal care played a significant role in how we approached this ad. With 33 out of 43 choosing to use the PSPCA based on prior services and 25 based on the cost of the appointment, it was essential to 14
  • 15. relay the firm’s low-cost and long history in animal care (“since 1867”). In hinting at adoption, the ad alludes to the vast array of services that the firm provides. With that being said, our advertisement intends to not only attract potential customers towards one of the PSPCA’s highest sources of revenue but also to reflect the firm’s commitment to education. Upon meeting with the PSPCA’s sole marketer, Sarah Eremus, we were able to analyze the firm’s current advertising strategies to identify key areas that we could improve on during our project. Despite a very limited budget, we were committed to realistically improving the firm’s marketing plan, highlighting critical strengths, such as the PSPCA’s long history in animal care, an extensive and highly trained staff, and an array of affordable services provided. Although the PSPCA lacks the funds to market towards all of Pennsylvania, there are opportunities to create out-of-home advertisements, taking advantage of its strong brand name and the Philadelphia’s high population. To continue to gain a better understanding of how the PSPCA should advertise, we met with 43 customers who had past experiences with the firm. With 28 of the 43 customers choosing to use the PSPCA through knowledge of the firm by means of recommendation or the established reputation of the organization, it is key for the firm to continue to make their logo and its tagline (“since 1867”) an integral piece of the ad. Considering the ongoing struggle to reach targeted markets through certain media platforms, such as radio and TV, print advertisements are the most viable option for the firm. Being a non-government funded and a non-profit organization, financial capabilities are the greatest weaknesses for the PSPCA. As a result, it is necessary to present a strong identity in its advertising, emphasizing its location (Pennsylvania) and its blue color to limit confusion between itself and the ASPCA to maximize potential donations and revenue. 15
