The Subject to Change Agency conducted research to help Jimmy John's expand its target market and appeal more to women. Through focus groups and surveys, they found that taste, quality, and price were most important to customers when choosing a sandwich shop. While JJ's advertisements were attention-grabbing, participants felt they should focus more on food options and visuals rather than speedy delivery. The agency recommended JJ's shift away from an emphasis on delivery speed and instead highlight new menu items, food quality, and special promotions in its marketing.
This was our senior Marketing Management final project. The assignment was to propose a new Jimmy John's franchising location somewhere in the United States using the marketing framework. We decided to partner with University of Miami to make a business franchise lab with their business school. The slides with black boxes had Jimmy John's commercials from their "Jimmy John's to the Rescue" YouTube campaign.
This project was completed for a Social Media Marketing course at the Schulich School of Business. It was completed in the Winter semester of 2016.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
3. The Subject to Change Agency will help Jimmy John’s to connect with
active individuals between the ages of 18-35 and expand the target to
appeal to more women in the “Quick Service sandwich restaurant”
category. The brand operates around a simple menu of 8” subs and club
sandwiches which leverage fresh, quality ingredients and competitive
price points. Along the way, the brand has created a hip, funny identity
that resonates with their loyal customer base. When it comes to
marketing communications, Jimmy John’s advertisements have a strong
emphasis on “Freaky Fast Delivery”, which is relatively unimportant to the
customer as it pertains to quick service sandwich shops. The most
important factors to the customer when selecting a quick service
sandwich shop are: taste, quality & price; variety of menu options; and
customization. Keeping in mind our goal to connect with our target
audience we recommend that Jimmy John’s displays more visual
advertisements as well as sandwich preparation, featured menu items,
and include special promotions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
4. • According to Linda’s Stradleys “What’s Cooking
America,” the submarine sandwich is a sandwich
on Italian bread comprised of various meats,
cheeses, and vegetables.
• The concept of the submarine sandwich comes
from Italian immigrants.
• In 1926 the sub sandwich was served in New
London, Connecticut to WWII soldiers.

CATEGORY HISTORY
5. At only 18, Jimmy John Liautaud’s dad said he could join
the Army or open a business. JJ wanted to open a hot
dog stand, but it cost more than his dad’s loan; so he
decided to open a sandwich shop. “He baked bread in his
mom's kitchen, bought meats from Dominick's, and
created his first [four] sandwiches.”
(Jimmy John’s Pinterest History)
JIMMY JOHN’S HISTORY
6. • Found in Charleston, Illinois, in 1983
• Jimmy John Liautaud started his business paying $200 a month on rent with
used equipment, a refrigerator, one meat slicer, a freezer and an oven.
• Without a posted menu or an outdoor sign, Jimmy offered four sandwich
varieties and 25-cent soft drinks.
• Later added delivery service, tables, outdoor signs, menu boards and an
expanded menu.
• Opened several more stores and developed a prototype before franchising
began in 1993.
• Jimmy John's franchisees bake bread at each store every day, and every
sandwich is made fresh to order in 30 seconds.
• Jimmy John’s currently has over 1600 stores open.
JIMMY JOHN’S HISTORY
7. • It was not an easy beginning
• JJ took armfuls of free sandwiches to pass out on
the streets of Charleston
– College kids loved the new tactics and sandwiches!
– JJ’s famous Guerilla Marketing style was born
JIMMY JOHN’S BACKGROUND
9. SOCIAL MEDIA: FACEBOOK
JJ’s Facebook appears to be geared towards targeting
men through partnering with NASCAR racing as well
as the XGames Aspen 2014.
10. JJ’s Twitter provides a great place for fan interactions
and conversations. Questions and comments receive
“freaky fast” responses, and fan photos get shared
along with original content.
SOCIAL MEDIA: TWITTER
11. JJ’s primarily uses YouTube as a place to share their
ads. There are a few videos of original or fan generated
content, but this channel seems underutilized.
SOCIAL MEDIA: YOUTUBE
12. Instagram is used as a great customer connection
point where JJ’s shares customers
photos and experiences.
SOCIAL MEDIA: INSTAGRAM
13. JJ’s has several boards where fans can share their
love for JJ’s, view JJ's quirky signs, and even get
recipes using JJ's day old bread!
SOCIAL MEDIA: PINTEREST
14. • Specific target marker of college students and professionals
with active lives
• Technology friendly website and apps with easy navigation
for menu options and delivery
• Interactive social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and
Pinterest) that allow Jimmy John’s fans to connect and
share their experiences
• Convenient locations (offices and schools)
• Reliable service
• Fresh products
• Overall brand essence
• Brand recognition
• Loyal customers
STRENGTHS
15. • Lack of actual product being seen in advertisements
• Focus is on the quality of the service instead of the
quality of the product
• Lack of options in the ability to customize orders
• Limited variety
• Preparation of food not visual to customers
• Majority of advertisements are geared toward male
customers
• Advertisements neglect to show the elements of
quality and freshness that attract female customers.
WEAKNESSES
16. • To expand the target market to appeal more to women
• Expand the variety of options and showcase the
product
• Create better print advertisements
• To generate coupons and create rewards points
• To expand the product line to offer more than
sandwiches, cookies, and chips.
• To expand inside of larger businesses and college
campuses (cafeteria) to influence the lunch time
decision in meals.
OPPORTUNITIES
17. • Local competitors increasing speed time in
service
• Duplication in product
• Lack of vision
• Increasing competition in the industry
• Diminishing female customers
THREATS
18. • When the focus group started we wanted to get to know the participants better,
so we asked for names, ages, and occupation. This gave us an idea of a new target
market that Jimmy John’s does not target often: women.
• We are looking for why this segment wasn’t targeted and what they think about
Jimmy John’s overall. Some don’t even think of Jimmy John’s as an option and skip
over it for their favorite restaurants (Panera, Subway, and Chipotle). Some have
never tried it before.
• The determining factors for what to eat depends on price, price, speed, quality,
and how close the consumer is to the restaurant. When talking about
compromises when going out to eat, participants say that it depends on the
situation. When going out with friends, clubbing, or drinking, they usually go for
something cheap and fast. They don't want to take the time to plan to go out and
wait for their food. If they are planning something in advance, then they don't
mind sacrificing speed for great quality and taste.
INTRO OF FOCUS GROUP
19. • We then had participants rank quality, taste, and price in order of importance
when getting something to eat. Taste was ranked first, after that was quality and
price. This showed that participants are willing to pay extra to satisfy a craving, but
understand they have limits. Ranking can change based on if they are in company
of friends or colleagues and the time they have to eat lunch or dinner.
• One important feature that many of the participants love is options and
customization. Jimmy John’s has limited options and customizations seem non-
existent due to the set menu. Many of the participants had Jimmy John’s when in
college or during corporate events.
• Delivery is not important for most of them since they eat inside or somewhere
else.
• The atmosphere of store drives away the female demographic. For some, the store
is "boring, loud, and [they] are uncomfortable of the workers constantly looking at
them." They describe the store as "trying to be fun/hip."
IMPORTANT FACTORS
20. • We showed some recent ads from Jimmy John’s. Most describe
the ads as annoying, but they got their attention. Capturing
attention is important, but retaining and keeping the information
is what brings customers to the store. The ads talked about the
speed of the delivery, and some participants suggested showing
more of the food in commercial.
• Suggestions from the focus group include: more advertising and
coupons, more options other than sandwiches and wraps, and
more of a focus on the food.
• Speed is an important, especially for the young professional on
the go. Lunch is the only time where some can unwind, while
others need something quick to eat.
• Jimmy John’s has a reputation for being fast, but they can also
focus more on the food they offer, giving variety to their regular
customers and also opening themselves up for different segments
to try their food.

33. • Communications that appeal to consumers the
most include:
– New or Featured Item
– Visuals of Food
– Special Deal or Promotion
– A reason to want to visit (not just “Nearby” or “No
other option”)
RECOMMENDATIONS
Jimmy John’s advertising does not currently have strong
food visuals, featured items, special promotions or
reasons to visit, and we suggest that they start.
34. • Consumers have received and can recall the
“Freaky fast” delivery message, however:
– Very few customers get Jimmy John’s via delivery
– Consumers see all fast food as being fast
– “Freaky fast” ads do not convince consumers to visit
RECOMMENDATIONS
Therefore, we recommend that Jimmy John’s shift
the focus of their ads away from delivery and
the notion of “Freaky fast.”
35. Fun & Youthful
Mature & Sophisticated
Masculine
Feminine
REPOSITIONING
• Work to appeal to men and women equally
• Stay in #1 spot for fun and youthful spirit, but gain a
little maturity and sophistication to help attract young
professionals who’ve aged out of college demographic
36. • Why Are We Doing This Communication?
– Jimmy John’s advertisements have hidden its fresh
ingredients behind the element of quick service to appeal
to a male driven market. By highlighting healthy menu
options and viewing more of the product images, Jimmy
John’s can expand its target market to generate more
female customers.
• Primary Target Audience
– Active individuals with limited time for a midday meal.
College students and professionals, primary women 18-35
looking for something light and healthy to crave their
appetite.
CREATIVE BRIEF
37. • Behavioral Objective
– Don't settle for just fast. Choose Jimmy John’s to be your
meal provider during the peak of the day. The combination
of healthy products and quality service provides
everything needed for that second wind during an intense
day.
• Key Consumer Insight
– “Sometimes there’s the need to settle for either good
products or fast service, very few restaurants provide
both.”
– "As I grew from a child to an adult, so did my taste in
sandwiches. Ham and cheese on wheat with mayo became
The Italian on a French roll with oil and vinegar."
CREATIVE BRIEF
38. • Benefit to Be Communicated
– Freshness on the go with healthy options.
• Primary Supporting Messages

– Quality service
– Appreciation of the customers’ time
