(F.A.A.B.) Fashion & Art Appreciation of Bubble Wrap
Our plan is to build a positive image of Bubble Wrap in Ireland so sales can be improved.
Alfred Fielding and Mark Chavannes – founders of ‘The Sealed Air Corporation’ in 1960.
Innovative 3D wallpaper, - did not succeeded.
. Greenhouse insulator, did not succeeded.
Branded as bubble wrap in 1961, - protective packaging tool.
First customer IBM (innovative computer system)
protect computer called IBM 1401 while being shipped.
Why are bubble wrap so famous?
They protect goods while being transported or stored from being scratched or being damaged, by receiving direct impacts.
For this reason companies all over the world buys it to transport their goods.
In result to this it is estimated that 4 billions dollars are sold by sealed air corporation annually 10 % of the sales being bubble wrap sales alone.
This event is focused on students (mainly students studding Fashion, Art & Business)
The reason why we picked this target marked in specific is because these people will be our future buyers.
In a short future all these students will be graduating and opening their own business.
The reason why we are targeting Art Exhibitors and Fashion Designers would be to inspire them with the new product we promoting.
So what can we do to bring a positive image to Ireland About Bubble Wrap? And also improve our sales by siring awareness in Ireland?
We decided to organise a Fashion Show to launch our new ideas of products in Ireland.
This would bring awareness of new products that could possibly become well known increasing a lot the number of sales.
This would raise the awareness of bubble wrap in Ireland allowing people to interact with our products in their daily routines.
As not many students would have the time or money to travel to the event we are bringing the event to the students in GMIT
We plan to host the event on 30th April 2015.
From 4pm – 8pm
We believe that GMIT would be the perfect venue for this event as it has every facility required for it.
parking
target market
easily access
communications is one of the most important part of the event planning.
Due to this reason it has to be done well.
Communicating with the right people is necessary.
90 % of the event planning is communicating whether it be replying to e-mails or having meetings or ordering products & servers.
With the help of the Student Union we will be sending out emails to our specific target market within the college.
They will also help us promote trough their facebook and twitter page as our target market can be easily be contacted by them.
Posters and fliers will be put up in the campus and shops near by to do with fashion, clothes, and marketing.
The event will also be promoted on the local radio station and also the GMIT radio.
A website will be set up where users can easily access all the information about the event and facilities.
Including parking, transport, accommodation etc.
This website will also be providing a map of the venue,
Information about the event including description, programme ( which would also have been sent by email )
Etc.
We are bringing the event to its target market and not people to the event, this always result in a higher amount of attendees.
New styles of clothes are invented every season.. If this is successful, it can be a new era for the sealed air corporation. This could double their sales and increase their production massively. For this reason it would be the main reason to be remembered due to it great success.
Yes I believe that with this idea, whether it is successful or not it can have a great positive impact on the population. It would make the population aware of the different functions of bubble wrap, possibly increasing its sales in Ireland.
By choosing this target market we are making our soon business people aware of our products,
