Graminex aims to heighten consumer awareness of its dietary supplement products. It will target two age groups - ages 25-35 focusing on health and fitness, and ages 45-64 addressing health concerns. A SWOT analysis found brand awareness is low for consumers. The strategy involves partnering with gyms and healthcare providers, sponsoring events, and multi-channel advertising tailored to each target group. Advertising will highlight health benefits while prices start at $200 for flyers and $2,500 for event sponsorships.
3. The Graminex Promise
“The Graminex brand offers a branded authenticity across multiple applications:
efficacy, safety and certification, innovation, quality and purity, and resources.
There is candidness in promise and product.”
4. Our Objective
Our main objective is to heighten the consumer awareness of Graminex. With

people will want to be involved because of the great results the products
provide.

Main goal is to heighten consumer awareness of graminex.
We believe the awesome health benefits that graminex products have need to be highlighted in a unique way.
Because of that, we decided to target two different age groups that we feel will want to be involved with graminex because of the great results of the product.

Alfalfa - aid in common health problems associated with diabetes, asthma, hay fever, arthritis
Wheat/barley grass are similar but they each contain all 20 amino acids which help with stress relief and overall health
Hallie
We’re looking at people ages 25-35 that care intensely about their health
The body builders and health conscious individuals will be our idea of target 1
Also those invoved in anytype of sports
We men in this age group will most likely be barley grass and wheat grass
For women polliqueen
Hallie
These consumers are looking to lead healthier lives, and live their everyday lives to the fullest which graminex will help them do
Recommendations by doctors and health professionals and officials will be key

We believe that this will allow you to reach your target demographic as this is where they spend time, plus with the health care aspect, people will really start to listen to the benefits and understand graminex a little bit more
lilly
We think these promotions will allow the graminex brand become more well known. The arnold classic is a huge event, a lot of people come so we believe that this will be your best bet to really get your name out there

Stick to traditional mediums: Still very important for larger consumer demographic
Focus on traditional mediums:
Pamphlets, flyers, men’s health and fitness magazines - doctor’s office, nursing homes, tradeshows
fingertips where & when they’re seeking info
Digital: Facebook - most commonly used social media among demographic.
Still capable of navigating internet
A lot of information, don’t want to intimidate with terminology
Life-preserving - people will buy into it; want more time with loved ones

Budget of 250-350K
A lot left over after the fact
Gets expensive entering magazine industry
