Wings of Hope Family Crisis Services is an established domestic violence shelter
committed to providing confidential and complete services to victims of interpersonal
violence and aims to end this violence. Wings of Hope cares about the community,
as it caters to Payne, Noble, Lincoln, Logan and Pawnee counties. This campaign will
achieve the following objectives:
	
	 Increase awareness of Wings of Hope and its services among its five target 			
	counties.
	 Sell at least 20 large butterflies and 20 small butterflies.
	 Further establish Wings of Hope’s identity throughout the five target 				
	counties.
	 Reach a dual audience consisting of victims of domestic violence and 				
	 individuals who wish to help.
Through our research, we learned that there is a lack of understanding among
community members regarding Wings of Hope’s services and its association with the
butterfly statues. We realized that to increase butterfly statue sales, it’s crucial to get
people talking about Wings of Hope, domestic violence and related issues. We created
effective design and keywording to generate conversation and let people know that
there is help and hope.
With our budget of $5,000, we developed a cost-efficient plan to create brand
consistency and steadily remind people of the mission of Wings of Hope Family Crisis
Services.
3
Strengths
Positive public perception.
Involvement and support from local organizations and
businesses.
Businesses that have purchased butterflies want to help
the community and be participants of something bigger
than are.
Most people in the community are aware of the problem
of domestic violence nationally and locally.
Weaknesses
Communication gap regarding associating the butterflies
with Wings of Hope.
Lack of awareness of Wings of Hope’s services,
particularly in counties other than Payne County.
Lack of awarness of domestic violence and related
issues.
Opportunities
The issue of domestic violence is surfacing nationally.
Domestic violence is being discussed more frequently and
openly.
Utilize stories from business owners or other individuals
who have purchased butterflies.
Build upon stories in the public eye about domestic
violence with a local slant.
Threats
Definition of domestic violence is not clear across all age groups.
Victims feel ashamed and afraid to speak up about their
situations, making it difficult to help everyone who needs it.
Funding and aid for Wings of Hope is not guaranteed.
Other local United Way agencies’ volunteers can donate their time
and money to other organizations, such as Payne County Youth
Services, Mission of Hope Homeless Shelter, the Salvation Army
and 20 other agencies.
Other facilities provide similar services as Wings of Hope, such as
Stillwater Medical Center, the Stillwater Police, the OSU Police and
other for­-profit counseling and medical facilities.

interviews with Payne County butterfly owners.
In-person Interviews
Key Findings:
“I love the idea behind the butterflies and what they represent so that was why I
felt it was important to get involved and make a donation.”
“For people who know [the butterflies are] associated with Wings of Hope, they
view the business as being a good community partner/corporate citizen that
invests back into the greater good of the community.”
“I wanted to support the cause with the small butterfly... I will put it in my flower
bed, and hopefully other neighbors will purchase one next year. [I did it] mainly just
for support.”
“Domestic violence is something that is terrifying and ruins lives but isn’t talked
about or taken seriously, so businesses should purchase butterflies, so it begins to
be more visible.”

For years, Wings of Hope Family Crisis Services has done so much for this

this campaign is getting the conversation going more than ever. On April 23, we will
be set up in downtown Stillwater, ready to spread awareness for Wings of Hope, its
mission and the butterfly statues. We have already begun to see a flutter in
conversation, especially in Lincoln, Noble, Pawnee and Logan counties, as businesses
have recently purchased and displayed the butterfly statues. Now is the time to talk,
heal and fly together. Join the conversation.

Through key messaging, we will empower victims of domestic violence as well as the community to generate conversation and awareness.
We will do this through:
	 Radio spots on popular local stations, Hot 93.7, KGFY, KVRO and KSPI, which reach our target audiences.
	 A 30-second PSA will run throughout the campaign’s entirety twice per week.
	 A paid 30-second spot will run six times on each station — four advertising the small events and two advertising the big event.
The total population of the five target counties = 185, 818.
Out of this number, 20 percent will tune into the paid radio spots = 37,164 impressions.
Thirty percent will tune into the PSAs = 55,746 impressions.
To bring the community, businesses and Wings of Hope Family Crisis
Services together, we will host 10 small events throughout the year-long
campaign. Details include:
	
	 Two-hour events at local coffee shops within the five target 		
	counties.
		 Locations include: Downtown Aspen Coffee Shop in
		 Stillwater, Ej’s Ice Cream & Coffee Shop in Stroud, 		
	 	 Harrison Street Coffee in Pawnee, Hoboken Coffee
		 Roasters in Guthrie and Hebrews in Perry.
	 Local musicians, poets and story tellers (works will be
	 pre-screened by Wings of Hope employees).
	 A Wings of Hope information and donation table, equipped with 	
	 a small butterfly and ran by Wings of Hope volunteers.
	 Advertising for the event will be done via all three social media 	
	 profiles and event fliers placed around the five counties.
	 The hashtag for these events will be #AnEvening4Butterflies.
Based on venue size and advertising, we project that 100 people will
attend each event, which totals to 1,000 impressions.
