Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
Mr. Clean Magic Extra Media Plan
This media plan is developed to promote Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Extra, a new product of
Protect & Gamble household care category, in two major markets: Sydney and Melbourne,
Australia. The target audience of the product is full-time employed female who have little time
spending on house work. Thus, Mr. Clean will help them reduce time and labor in cleaning
activities.
The media includes two advertising campaigns:
- The first campaign’s purpose is to create brand awareness among non-users, and will
last for the first five months.
- The second campaign’s purpose is to persuade the target audiences to choose Mr. Clean
among other brands in cleaning product category. This campaign will last for the rest 9
months.
1. Communication and media objectives
1.1. Communication objectives
3
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
To create brand awareness of 80 percent of the target audience about the
appearance of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Extra in Sydney and Melbourne during the
first three months of the campaign. This objective is based on the announcement
about the existence of the product at initial stage of the campaign and at the
very first level of communication task: the knowledge level. Thus, the percentage
of prospective customers is the highest and simple messages will be adopted.
To enhance interest and brand preference of the product among 60 percent of
the target audience in the next 2 months of the campaign. The communication
task of this objective is to communicate about the functional benefits and
features of Mr. Clean so that the consumers will have favorable attitude towards
the product.
To generate immediate buy of 50 percent of the target audience in the rest
period of the campaign. After the target consumers are persuaded about the
benefits of the product, we aim at encouraging current users to use it more
frequently or in more situations, as well as encouraging consumers who have
never used the brand to try it.
1.2. Media objectives
4
50 % immediate response
60% brand preference
80% awareness
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
The first campaign: To reach 80% of target audiences with the frequency of 6
times per month during the period of the campaign. Mr. Clean is a Fast
Consumer Moving Good (FCMG), the product purchase cycle is short, mostly
lasts for four weeks. It means that the consumer is buying the brand about once
a month. Moreover, brand maturity of Mr. Clean in Australian market is low,
despite the fact is has been in the market for a while, its share of voice and share
of market is still low compared to other brands in the same product category
such as Unilever and Colgate-Palmolive ( Datamonitor, 2009). Thus, to achieve
the communication objective to create awareness of the target audience,
particularly non-users, we need to prioritize reach over frequency in this period.
The effective reach should be set at 80% to ensure that a wide range of
consumers is informed about the existence of Mr. Clean in the market. However,
the effective frequency should also be high because of the aggressive
competition among the brands in cleaning product category (Datamonitor,
2009), and because Mr. Clean is quick to be disposed, hence the product
purchase cycle is short.
The second campaign: To reach 50% of target audiences with the frequency of 8
times per month during the period of the campaign. This media objective is
determined by the second and the third communication objectives which aim at
attitudinal and behavioral change in consumers. In this period, when most of the
target audiences have already known about Mr. Clean, we should encourage
them to buy the product and constantly remind existing users to buy it. Hence
frequency should be prioritized over reach at this stage. The frequency is still
keep high, so that we can have effective brand recall. Moreover, the effective
reach should be kept at least at 50% so that we do not waste resources and lose
revenues.
2. Promotional Mix Tools and Medium Selection
5
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
In order to effectively promote Mr. Clean to the target audiences within the time frame,
the media plan need to integrate a combination of different promotional mix tools as
followed.
2.1. The first campaign
Advertising: As the overall goal of this campaign is to create awareness of the
consumers, advertising is considered an appropriate tool thanks to its pervasiveness.
The reach for this campaign is 80%, thus advertising can help transmit the message to
mass consumers. We will adopt both indoor and outdoor advertising, and guerrilla
advertising so that the message will be exposed to a large number of target audiences,
and create curiosity towards the product.
These advertising media can have a wide coverage of the local markets and high level of
reach and frequency. Moreover, we can easily place it in many public spaces, resulting in
its ability to create awareness among the target audience. With outdoor guerrilla
advertising, we can have more creativity to send the message in a unique way that likely
to catch people’s attention. Moreover, it is also more cost-effective as compared to
other traditional tools. The infrastructures in major metropolitan cities in Australia allow
using these media more easily as well.
Poster: We will tell the personal story of Mr. Clean that helps many women with
cleaning job, through a series of posters displayed at different public places such
as car park sites, the main routes that office people going from home to works in
Melbourne and Sydney, and near the places that women tend to come such as
spas, beauty salon, super markets, grocery stores, etc. The first poster will show
the logo of Mr. Clean (inherently the friendly and strong image of a man in white
outfit), and the copy says: “Do you know this man?” The next will say: “His name
is Mr. Clean”. The next keeps continue: “Mr. Clean’s story is the story of
cleaning”. “Mr. Clean helps women clean the tomato sources and coffee stains
on the dining table”. And the posters can keep going into personal details of the
cleaning story of Mr. Clean. As the drivers drive along the route, the first posters
6
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
will make them curious and look forward to reading the story along the way.
According to Outdoor Media Association, 2010, posters, as other roadside
media, can increase remarkably opportunity to see among the target audiences.
In other public places, the series of posters can be put in order of appearance.
The advantage of posters is we can place them almost everywhere, and it can
reach a mass number of people at the same time in public places. Moreover, it is
rapid to install the kit and remove previous posters, and also cost efficient.
Transit advertising – Floor and wall displays at the stations and bus stops: In
the subway stations, square-sections on the wall are painted in special color so
that they appear brighter than the surrounding spaces. At one corner of the
section, logo and copy of Mr. Clean (“Cleaned by Mr. Clean”) will be displayed,
but the main space is left blanked to create an impression of cleanness. In
addition, the long lines that people queue up when waiting for train are also
painted in that brighter color, and the logo and copy will be displayed at the end
of the line. Target at seeing sensory, people will be likely to look at the brighter
spaces on the wall and step on the brighter line on the floor. This will effectively
catch people’s attention when they have to wait for the train. The same thing
can be carried out on the pavement nearby the bus stops. As being displayed at
very crowded places like these; people will notice the brand name and its
function to strongly remove all dirt.
Guerrilla advertising: To promote the functional benefit that Mr. Clean Magic
Eraser Extra has very strong formula, we will paint a few artificial models of car
completely in white color, except for the glasses. They will be parked randomly
on the street, and in parking sites with a signage nearby, saying: “Cleaned by
Mr.Clean”. The material of the model must be light and water resistance so that
it can be flexibly placed at many public sites. Since the models are absolutely
white, it will be outstanding when placed near the other cars, and people will
pay attention and curiosity to it. If they want to know why it is completely white,
7
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
they have to approach the car and read the signage. Consequently, they will
have awareness about Mr. Clean.
Stand-alone indoor advertising: A good place to show the women something is
female restroom. In this case, the advertisement includes logo of Mr. Clean and
the copy saying in a personal tone: “Mr. Clean helps you become the best
woman”. It will be placed at a corner of the mirror and behind the door of each
cabin in the restroom. Obviously, the advantage of this medium is its ability to
reach the target audience at high level and easily and effectively catch the target
audiences’ attention and awareness about the brand when they do something in
the restroom.
2.2. The second campaign
Due the aim of this campaign that aims at leverage purchase intention, we will adopt
a combination of different marketing mix tools, including product promotion, print
advertising, in-store decoration, and online advertising. As Mr. Clean is a low-
decision involvement product, the best reminder to a good cleaning product should
appear only when the consumers want to purchase it, such as when they go
shopping in the super market or online shopping from home. Thus, we will use the
combination of these mix tools at point of purchase for non-users and create highly
visual impact with magazine advertising to persuade the target audiences to buy the
product.
Point-of-purchase promotion (POP): This will be a gift voucher valued US$ 20 for
beauty services in major spas and beauty salons in Sydney and Melbourne. There
are two ways to get it. One is a lucky scratch card offer chance included in every
package of Mr.Clean. The other is to ask consumers to collect five packages of
Mr. Clean to exchange for the voucher. This target at common interest of
women hence will motivate them to purchase the product rather than other
brands. This kind of specialty offer is designed for reinforcement of the message.
8
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
At no additional cost, repeat exposures to the advertising message will follow
the buyers when they save the packages or until they get the lucky card.
Print advertising: In an A4 magazine advertising, special ink is overprinted on a
picture of dining table to give the impression that real dirt and grimes are
covering the table. The magazines readers are invited to use the piece of Mr.
Clean inserted in the page, to swipe out the dirt and unveil the table. This will
give the audiences “real” experience in cleaning the surface of the table with Mr.
Clean. The advertising will be located at major women’s magazine in Australia so
that we can target the specific audiences. The reason to choose magazine is its
ability to reproduce with high quality (paper material, special ink), creative
flexibility (we can insert a small piece of swipe), and to engage with consumers
(inviting them to clean the “paper table”). Moreover, it has long life span, can be
travelled to particular places what women usually go to like beauty salons, spas,
etc.
In-store decoration: During the run of the second campaign, we will put plastic
frames, showing Mr. Clean logo and copy will be displayed on shelf, the floor
near the product, and on the handles on shopping trolleys in super markets and
groceries. The advantage of these media is to generate point-of-purchase
decision when Mr. Clean belong to low-involvement decision product category.
Sale promotion-Product sampling: In order to prove the cleaning power of Mr.
Clean, the target audiences will be offered product sampling at entrance gate of
major super market and grocery stores in Sydney and Melbourne. The 4Ps of Mr.
Clean are considered very suitable to do sampling campaign. Firstly, Mr. Clean
has a relative low price which is priced at AU$1.5/ each (Australian’s Grocery
Best Price Directory, 2010), so samples do not cost too much. Secondly, the
product is divisible, can be packaged into small sample size. Thirdly, the purchase
cycle is relatively short, so the consumers will consider an immediate purchase
or will not forget about the brand before the next purchase occasion. We will
hire temporary demonstrators who set up a table or booth at the entrance gate
9
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
of supermarkets and grocery stores, prepare small samples of Mr. Clean, and
pass them out to the target audiences. This technique will help target at the right
audiences at the right time when they possibly have intention to buy house care
products.
Online advertising: An appropriate way to remind the customers about a FCMG
brand is to display the brand name at point-of-purchase time. We will use
behavioral targeting as directional ads to tell the audiences where to buy Mr.
Clean. Based on women’s website surfing behaviors, and by compiling
clickstream date and Internet protocol (IP) information from Sydney and
Melbourne, segments of the target consumers can be identified and ads directed
specifically to them. The ad of Mr. Clean will appear on online popular shopping
websites in Australia of which women are frequent visitors. When they want to
buy cleaning products, based on the searching and clicking behavior on those
websites, the ad will appear to remind them. This medium is considered as cost-
effective, and can reach specific target audience at the right time when they
have purchase intention.
The reason to choose online advertising is the blooming number of Internet
users shopping online from home. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics,
the percentage of people use Internet for online shopping accounts to 53% in
metropolitan cities such as Sydney and Melbourne (Australian Bureau of
Statistics, 2008).
3. Vehicles Selection
3.1. The first campaign – Awareness Campaign
Posters: Roadside posters will be placed at main traffic routes in Sydney and
Melbourne. According to Sydney Motorways’ website (2010), the main routes
for motorway in Sydney are New South Head Road, Gore Hill Freeway, Windsor
Road, and South West Motorway, etc. The venues to place the posters in
Melbourne are City Road, Wellington Parade, St Kilda Road, and Victoria Street,
10
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
etc. (Australia Tourist Guide, 2010). Also according to these maps, these routes
are heading or nearby major supermarkets and grocery stores in Sydney and
Melbourne, hence the audiences will be more likely to pay attention to the
posters and the brand name if they come to supermarkets and stores. The size
for the poster should be slightly above average, which is about 4x3m – 6x3m so
that we can grasp people’s attention. Assume that we will create a series of 5
posters, and place them at 10 main roads in Sydney and Melbourne, each route
has 1 series hence we need 50 series. According to GetPrice (2010), the printing
and installation cost for that size of poster is about $US50, so the total budget
for the posters will be US$2500.
Transit advertising: The wall and floor displays will be placed at central stations
in Sydney (such as Circular Quay, Wynyard, Town Hall, Central, Museum and St
James Stations), and in Melbourne (Flinders, Swanston, Richmond, and
Windsor). The painting fees for the displays of brighter spaces with special inks
are relative low, we estimate at around US$3000. For the specific advertising
price at railway stations and bus stops, we also need to contact authorities such
as Advertising Federation of Australia (http://www.afa.org.au/), and Outdoor
Media Association (http://oma.org.au/). The total cost for production and
advertising license is expected at US$6000.
Guerrilla Advertising: We will park the white artificial models of car at major
parking places in Sydney and Melbourne. The cost for painting color and making
the models are very low, we believe US$1000 is enough. However, in order to
legally park such models in public places, we need to ask advertising license and
permission from the Department of Media and Communication Services in New
South Wales and Victoria Public Transportation Associations
(http://www.nsw.gov.au/, and http://www.vic.gov.au/). US$2000 is enough to
cover the sum of guerrilla advertising fee.
Stand-alone indoor advertising: For the logo and copy display in female rest
rooms, we will create stickers to stick on the mirror and the cabin doors. The
11
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
production cost for stickers is very low; we decide to spend US$1000 on this.
Moreover, we need to include the advertising fees in female WCs in major
shopping malls in both Sydney and Melbourne, such as Queen Victoria Building,
Capitol Square, Sky View Shopping Plaza, etc. These venues are very popular
among women, hence the level of exposure is very high. The fees are estimated
at about US$ 2000.

3.2. The second campaign – Behavioral Campaign
Gift voucher: We allocate a package of 1000 gift vouchers valued US$ 20 for
beauty services in major beauty salons and spas in Sydney and Melbourne. We
will make the contract proposal with them and corporate to produce the
vouchers. Thus, we have to pay the spas and salons a total amount of US$20,000
for the package. This amount is not too big for the budget and reasonable since
it targets at the common interest of women.
Magazine advertising: As Mr. Clean has short product purchase cycle, we need
to advertise it weekly. A number of weekly women magazines which are popular
in Australia will be selected as followed:
Woman’s Day: This is Australia's number-one selling weekly magazine reaching
one in five Australian women each week across all cities, towns and
demographics. Its content varies from recipes and the latest in beauty, fashion,
food, health and family advice. It has high quality printing, and the level of
sophistication of the material is very relevant to the creativity of the ads. In
2009, the readership is 2,056,000, and circulation is 409,521. The core target
audiences is women aged 25-54 (Woman’s Day-ACP Magazine, 2010). To
advertise on this magazine will help us target the specific target audiences,
thanks to its large readership of median age women.
Australian House & Garden: This magazine “helps readers create a home that
says 'wow'” (ACP, 2010). It covers people's wonderful houses on view, heaps of
homewares to buy, gardens to walk through, food to cook and health, wealth
and beauty advice. Thus, this is a very appropriate place to advertise house care
cleaning product like Mr. Clean. Its core readers are women aged 25-54 who
have concern about their household care. In 2009, it had the circulation at
100,326 and readership at 550,000 (Australian House & Garden, ACP Magazine,
2010). Due to the content of the magazine which is very relevant to our product
13
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
category, advertising on this magazine can create a high level of brand
preference and interest among the target audiences.

Online advertising: We choose to advertise on the website of the most popular
grocery store in Australia, Woolworths. According to initial research in stage 1,
we have identified that consumers usually buy household care products in major
grocery stores. Hence, to advertise on Woolworths online will help target at the
specific potential buyers at point-of-purchase. According to Woolworths online
Sampling and Advertising Guide (2010), 70% of their shoppers are female, the
website receives over 2.8 million page impressions per month, consisting of
130,000 unique browsers, a rate which is constantly growing. Base on the fore
mentioned source, further information on online advertising on Woolworths is in
the table below:

Mr. Clean magazine advertising (second campaign)
As the CPMs for the two online spaces on Woolworths is very low, and they have
the majority of shoppers is women, this is a very effective and efficient vehicle to
target at the right audiences.
Product sampling: In order to increase the consistency, we need to advertise at
the same venues with online advertising - Woolworths stores in Sydney and
Melbourne. Also according to Woolworths online Sampling and Advertising
Guide (2010), they have comprehensive sampling allows reaching the broadest
possible audience by targeting over 8,000 households each week. The set-up
cost and rate in Woolworths is low, at $300 for a four week campaign
(Woolworths online Sampling and Advertising Guide (2010). Hence, this is a great
vehicle to market to the selected audiences, at the selected geographic location
or even test market against a competitor product. The estimated cost for the
sampling package run for 1 month is US$5000.
In-store advertising: In major supermarkets and grocery stores, we will use
different types of in-store decoration to remind the consumers about the brand
and encourage them to purchase the producti. The total cost for different types
of in-store ads is estimated at US$3000.
Shopping cart signage: Logo display on carts and handles of shopping trolleys.

4. Schedule
Since Mr. Clean has short product purchase cycle, we need to cover a lot of weeks.
Hence, a combination of continuity and pulshing schedule is considered to be
appropriate. The whole schedule is divided into two campaigns: the awareness
19
Mr. Clean Eraser Extra Media Plan 2010
campaign which will last for the first three months will have continuity schedule, and
the attitudinal and behavioral campaign which will last for the rest nine months will
have pulshing schedule.
In the first campaign, continuity schedule is employed because we can have a
combination of burst and drip throughout the year. From January to May, there will be a
moderate budget for the tools mix of outdoor, indoor, and guerrilla media in order to
target at mass audiences at cheap prices.
In the next campaign, as we aim at increase purchase decision, we need to have a more
aggressive budget for the schedule. Therefore, pulshing schedule with push period will
effectively encourage consumers to buy the product. The most focused period is from
July to September at summer buying time; we will use the combination of gift voucher,
product sampling, magazine ads, and online ads. The rest of the campaign, from
September onwards, the goal is to maintain buying behavior among the target
audiences, hence lesser budget is spent on in-store advertising.
