Memo to Client
Ms. Natalie Nelsen Wildcutz Salon IWU, Marion, IN 46953 November 26th, 2013 Dear Natalie, Thank you for your willingness to work with Blue Sea Public Relations this semester. My goal was to develop a mutually beneficial relationship not only between our firms, but also between Wildcutz and the Indiana Wesleyan Student Body. I wish for nothing more than to furthermore develop your mission and vision at this institution. Through research and communications counseling, my vision is to enable a successful and positive reputation for your salon. Blue Sea Public Relations is an independent firm developed at Indiana Wesleyan University. Mike Bruce 847-431-1136; mbruce1291@gmail.com Within the first few weeks, I worked with you to discuss Wildcutz background and current communications efforts. Then I identified the primary communications goals of Wildcutz, and the obstacles that prevent you from achieving your goals. Based on this information and my research, I developed a strategic rebranding proposal for a re-release of Wildcutz this Spring 2014. This proposal will be outlined in written form and presented to you orally. The proposal outlines strategies and tactics for a campaign in addition to a background analysis of Wildcutz. A supplementary calendar and budget is included at the end with estimations of the time and monetary expenses incurred in the execution of the campaign. I will provide nonbinding communication consultation strategically designed to achieve your communication goals. I hope you find my advice to be engaging, effective and creative. If you have any questions following this proposal, please contact me once more to aid with a supplementary response. I am also here to address any concerns you may have. I can be reached by telephone or email. Thank you again for giving me this hands-on experience. I hope my research and ideas will help you develop a stronger relationship with the student body at Indiana Wesleyan University. Sincerely, Blue Sea Public Relations

Current Communication Efforts Online content (wildcutz.weebly.com) Social media: Facebook, Instagram Print Advertisements in Campus Mail Daily Development Emails Window Advertising

Evaluation of Communication Efforts Wildcutz currently employs very few media techniques to reach its publics. The current techniques do appropriately reflect the communication consumption habits of the targeted audiences. Most of the publicity comes from advertisement on the primary window, along with weekly daily development emails. As a result, Wildcutz controls all of its messaging systems. However, the simplicity has become overused, and the possibility of limited reach is apparent. Currently, the messages are not being tailored to effect the emotions and trust of the student body. The key publics are students aged 18-25, yet they are not being reached in an effective and efficient manner. Extensive primary research provides for an understanding of consumer consumption behaviors and communication patterns. Blue Sea Public Relations will conduct qualitative research to increase understanding of key publics. Key message points will be developed around research findings. Communication efforts on campus are not very costly, which is beneficial to this institution. The inclusion and rebranding of Wildcutz will allow for ROI to be effectively evaluated. New social media marketing presents cost-effective communications techniques, as well as the ability to connect with the current publics. Trending software can also define and analyze communication efforts during the review. The inclusion of paid advertisements in the Sojourn, as well as potentially developing a Wildcutz app for IOS and Android would aid in the development of the salon. Blue Sea also advises Wildcutz to take advantage of Testimonials to aid in restructuring public image of the salon. The additional use of Instagram and Pinterest provides a possibility of engaging in two-way communication that is both measurable and affordable to your current public.

Research
Primary Before developing the public relations re-branding proposal for Wildcutz, I carefully reviewed the information given to me to identify the goals and objectives for the rebranding campaign. I also referred to the salons website to obtain valuable information that would help me in the direction of the campaign. Hypothesis To research and identify a rebranding proposal that would best meet the goals and objectives in creating a new image for Wildcutz and creating a reputable business for the student body at Indiana Wesleyan University. Goals and Objectives Primary research goals and objectives included researching the target public. Before moving forward with the direction of the campaign, it was necessary to determine what media outlet

would best fit the nature of Wildcutz to effectively reach the target public. Based on the goals of Wildcutz, I know that men and women between the ages of 18-25 would be receptive to any research for the rebranding proposal. This public is constantly focused on public image, however due to the current reputation of Wildcutz in the student eye, are hesitant to trust the salon. They are, in fact most excited about searching for affordable salon experiences. Secondary research goals and objectives included finding out what people currently think of Wildcutz. My focus group with current male and female students revealed opinions on marketing and other student organizations as a whole at Indiana Wesleyan. They also revealed what they would like to see to improve their attraction to the school itself. Drawing from my research results, I was able to draft key message points that will be important in communicating about the salon, as well as tactics and objectives that will increase awareness for the new image of Wildcutz for future students. Research Methodology First, I conducted a random sample by choosing 20 students, both male and female, from the campus mailbox address book at the post office. I then contacted them to inform them of my interest in hosting a focus group. After corresponding with all members, I was able to construct a date and a time to conduct the focus group on October 31st, 2013. I prepared by creating a focus group protocol that outlined the general script and guidelines for the focus group. Procedures of Data Analysis The focus group was audio recorded to provide insight into the verbal behavior and responses from the students. In addition, there was one moderator and one note taker. I later transcribed the focus group and analyzed the responses. This allowed for me to find out specifically what the students would like to see in a future Wildcutz salon on campus. Strengths In depth, descriptive answers Open ended and closed questions Opportunity to see nonverbal communications Immediate feedback Flexibility in structure All information was gathered at once

Limitations Moderator can bias responses with non-verbal communication and tone of voice Time restriction Not entirely representative of the sample population of IWU

SECONDARY The secondary research I was able to gather includes information that was gathered from social media, and the Wildcutz website, as well as past articles from the Sojourn. Social media from Wildcutz target one specific audience and primarily include coupons, and extremely general information. The Wildcutz website is user-friendly and provides an option for students to get to know the staff, as well as create appointments. Products and other salon services may be viewed here as well. Wildcutz also has a tab on the Wildcat Website for student run organizations and businesses on campus. This information would give a potential student a link to the current Wildcutz website. There is not a current blog or brochure available. A successful research tool that I was able to use was the search option on the Sojourns website. It helped me define the past and current attitudes of students on campus since its opening in 2009. All of my secondary research was used as a planning tool in putting together the final product for the current proposal.

EVALUATION: After one month, research should be performed to determine if the rebranding campaign is having a positive or negative impact on customers. These measurements can be contained by analyzing current social media outlets, hosting a focus group, and encouraging customers to complete a survey after their appointments. Evaluations should be performed once each month until May 1st, 2014. Strategies First, each appointment will be monitored and recorded according to sex and type of service. This data will then be entered into a spreadsheet and analyzed each month. Analyzation of this data will aid in determining who your prominent clientele is, and what services they prefer. Second, Wildcutz online presence will be measured. The web and social media pages will be monitored to see if there has been an increase in hits. On Facebook, the number of likes on the organizations page, and mentions will be counted. On Instagram, the number of followers and likes will be counted, as well and the content of each post. The Wildcutz blog will also be evaluated according to the amount of shares and or views the blog receives. Potential comments on the blog will also be analyzed month by month as well. Lastly, primary research will be conducted once each month following the release of the rebranding campaign. Customers will be encouraged to participate in a short survey relating to their experiences and future suggestions for the salon. A random sample will be taken of the student body population for a monthly focus group as well. This will determine the general attitude towards Wildcutz, as well as determining what the general population really likes about the salon and suggestions they may have for improvement. Evaluations of each staff member should be monitored as well, to make sure each member is contributing to the positive growth and direction Wildcutz is trying to take.

APPENDIXES A: Media Relations

IWU student businesses flourish

Posted on 26 September 2013. Tags: Bed Head, China Glaze, Crew shampoo, HUBexchange, IWU, Wildcutz

Take a walk down the mallway and youll see things are a little d ifferent than last year at Wildcutz and the HUBexchange. Managers of the two student-run businesses have implemented some changes for the 2013-14 school year. At Wildcutz, you can get services from shampoos and haircuts to manicures. The salon updated products and services as well as the appearance, according to student manager Natalie Nelson (jr). We just tried to give it more of a homey look, Nelson said, also sharing the changes such as adding curtains and icicle lights that have made the appearance more like it was in 2006 when the salon first opened. Wildcutz staff updated prices and services for this year as well, according to stylist Stephanie Lamb (so). These include mens haircut costs dropping and shampoos being added to hair services at no extra charge. The updated products, according to Nelson, include brand names such as Bed Head and Crew shampoos, as well as China Glaze and OPI nail polishes. Nelson also said nail art is also now available for the first time at Wildcutz. According to both Lamb and Nelson, all of the stylists are fully licensed, meaning they have put in 1500 hours of work and taken state and board tests before being qualified by the state as hair stylists. Next door at The HUBexchange, Managers Patty Blair (sr) and Sami Gallant (sr), are excited about how things are coming together this year. At The HUB, which opened in 2012, students can buy items as well as sell things for a little extra cash. Blair said The HUB will buy about anything from students, with the exception of clothing items, something that changed from last year. DVDs and electronics are the most popular sellers in the store. This year, the managers have split the responsibilities, with Blair supervising marketing and advertising and Gallant handling the business and financial aspect. On the marketing side of things, Blair has been working hard to make sure people know about The HUB. Gallant, who also managed at the store last year, has noticed things changing for the better. Last year, anytime I would ask if people knew what The HUBexchange was, they didnt even know it was on campus, and Ive seen an improvement in that, Gallant said. The managers of Wildcutz and The HUBexchange all shared excitement about making their businesses even more accessible to the IWU community through their new additions and improvements.

B. Testimonials

Jordan Presnell: Freshman I have been a customer now at Wildcutz for a few months. I am a freshman here at IWU. I have been to Wildcutz now for an eyebrow wax the first time and a haircut the second time. My haircut went great! She understood exactly what I wanted done and did it very well. I would go back for another haircut, just not an eyebrow wax. I would most definitely recommend someone to Wildcutz for that service. Tiana Fair: Freshman I was a one time customer at Wildcutz in the month of October. I am a freshman at IWU and when I went I had my lip waxed. Wildcutz workers were friendly and made the experience

somewhat comfortable, however I would be a little skeptical at returning because my wax wasn't so great. I'm not sure I would recommend someone else to Wildcutz for waxing but I cannot speak on the hair cuts.
Micheala Coffey: Freshman I have been a four time customer at Wildcutz so far. I am a freshman here at IWU. Every week I have the same thing done: a deep conditioner and a regular flat-iron. I have also gotten my eyebrows waxed a couple of times. Wildcutz has done a really good job of being professional with handling appointments and excellent service. An employee named Abby has done a great job taking care of my hair and is very friendly. I love her!! I will continue to go back (every week) because I am comfortable there and have been ever since I walked in that first day. I absolutely would recommend someone else, and I have. I recommended a friend of mine, Heaven, to go there and she also got a deep conditioner and her hair blow dried. She really enjoyed it! Hannah Whelchel: Sophomore This is the first year I have visited Wildcutz! I am a sophomore. I have the lovely ladies at Wildcutz fix my disastrous ombre job. The previous stylist did not do the ombre correctly, and they blended the color so that the color change wasnt as harsh as before. They did a wonderful job! Wildcutz was very efficient and friendly. They fixed my problem in a timely manor, and did great job at that! I would definitely recommend someone else. They stylists at Wildcutz are very talented for their age! Monica Soto: Junior I've been a customer for about two years. I'm a Junior. I usually get haircuts and my eyebrows

waxed. I really like the service Wildcutz gives to the customers :) I've been really happy with it and I don't have any complaints. I also really like the price and that's one of the reasons why I always go back to Wildcutz!
