2. Objectives
Reinforcing the high standards set by Toyota as a
global leader of autos manufacturer.
Rekindling the sense of trust that the customers had
for the Japanese giant.
Aspire to bring down the $50 billion loss to less than
$20 billion with the outcomes of our campaign.
In simple terms, our primary objective is “Sensibility
and Reliablity”. We project our campaign at this
objective.
3. Brand ambassador
we’ll bring in the all famous “JACKIE CHAN’
to be our brand ambassador for our
campaign.
If you ever recall a person who’s known for
his reputation in risk-taking and,
If you recall a person who always comes
back even after many falls,
Say another name other than our brand
ambassador.
Toyota can’t have a more reliable BA in the
current situation than this real hero.
5. Sales incentives
We’ll be providing incentives in regards to
Dealers
Customers
Our dealers will be provided with incentives over
meeting and exceeding sales targets.
We’ll be providing discounts on small segment cars
and SUV’s since mostly the competitors Ford and GM
are in price war over these segments.
We however stick to the premium prices of our luxury
segment cars.
6. Contd…
We’ll be providing assurance for the cars on an
extensive basis.
Free service checkups up to 2 years from purchase
and we’ll extend our service outlets to cover greater
grounds.
We’ll provide recognition to our long lasting
customers and rewarding them in a tactical move.
7. Promotional event
We’ll be designing a website for our campaign
named
“Share ya Toyota moments”
Here our customers can share their lighter moments
of life like their expeditions, their adventures with
Toyota.
By this way we’re reminding them of their attachment
to Toyota and project the car as their trusted partner
and friend.
8. Media and media vehicle
As innovation being our emphasis, we’ll go in for
promoting our campaign in Telecommunication and
Internet.
In telecommunication, our media vehicle is
WWE and NBA broadcasts.
The two programs is always on the charts for the
highest viewed in US having both LIVE on stage
viewers and TV viewers.
In Internet media, our emphasis is on
Facebook
Google Add-on
We’ll sponsor events on facebook so that almost
everyone connected on facebook(almost 20mil in US)
can get to know our campaign.
We do it the “The Facebook Way", that is a famous
advertising trend nowadays.
9. Expenditure and Sales target
Our expenditure is planned to be $50million
The range of expenses covers various aspects such
as making our website,
Facebook, Brand ambassador, installing new service
centers, and miscellaneous.
Our sales target is expected to be 25% on our
investment.
If we make $12m-$15m in the 1st month, we’ll say
that our campaign is yielding returns.
10. Duration of the campaign
The media and the media vehicle we have chosen
are really expensive but distinct ones.
We can say that our campaign when promoted
through such powerful media can spread fast.
So, the duration of our campaign is going to be a
short span of one month.
11. Suggestions
Toyota has made all the steps needed to tackle the issues in US.
We focus on making the people aware of the changes we made.
Lay importance on the “Self Driving Car” concept that is introduced
in Germany.
Enabling the customers to know the massive risk Toyota
encountered in making such a huge recall even though when they
were in loss while they were recovering from recession.
