The Issue: Situational AnalysisOur job in this project is to convince the public that a Victorias Secret PINK store opening inside the Cowboys Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, will have a positive effect on game day activities for everyone. We want to show that this merger of football and women’s apparel will create an enhanced atmosphere for women who attend football games, since most of the shops and activities are more tailored to men.

Strategic Position

Prime Time PR’s strategic position as a firm is to provide public relations needs to athletes, actors, and musicians who are spotlighted during prime time T.V. hours. We want to help our clients form positive relationships with their audiences, as well as cultivate an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

Strategies and Tactics

Strategy

Our strategy to generate excitement for the store opening is to penetrate the social media that our target audience will be attending, as well as print advertising around the local college campuses in the Dallas area. We would also use cable advertising to reach those not connected to social media.

Tactics

• On the store’s opening day, VictoriasSecret PINK will have a tailgate before and after the opening ceremony.

• Hotdogs and hamburgers will be sold, and those who buy food will receive a 30 percent off coupon to the new store, valid only for that day. VictoriasSecret models Jessica Heart and Elsa Hosk, and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, will be at the tailgate wearing the PINK Cowboys clothing line and signing pictures.

Tactics

• We plan to get as many people to the tailgate and store opening as possible by advertising the events on social media websites. We will use Facebook and Twitter to reach the younger portion of our target audience. We will also promote to those in college by posting flyers on campuses in the Dallas area. To reach the older portion of the target audience, we will run TV ads featuring the models in PINK merchandise on cable channels during the local news, and during Cowboys games leading up to the opening.

Evaluation

• We believe that with the implementation of this plan that Cowboys Stadium and VictoriasSecret will run a successful store and be more than satisfied with the results. We expect to make a profit of $140,000.00.
