Description

Scenario: In Week 3, you selected a product or service that you believe your organization should invest capital resources to develop the product or service for sale. To speed up the new product investment, you decide to write a memo proposing and advocating for the launch of a new product or service to the company president.

Create a memo proposal using the AIDA model in a Microsoft® Word in a minimum of 1,400 words. You will add an introduction and conclusion, and your paper will include the following components:

  • Convince your audience to invest capital resources to develop the product or service you intend to sell and explain your rationale. See Figure 9.5 - Persuasive Message Using AIDA model.
  • Gain credibility (for yourself and your request) and (2) to make your readers believe that helping your product/service will indeed benefit the company. Close with a request for some specific action, and make that course of action as easy to follow as possible to maximize the chances of a positive response.
  • Include secondary research to support your argument, related to your product and/or service.
    • Explain what you will do in case the selected product or service does not initially sell as much as expected.
    • Indicate potential digital channels for marketing your product or service.
    • Consider cross-cultural and multinational implications.

Note: Main points from this memo will be included in the Week 5 Persuasive Presentation.

The following guidelines will help you effectively format specific memo elements, Business Communication Essentials, 7/e (Pg. 410):

  • Addressees. When sending a memo to a long list of people, include the notation See distribution list or See below in the position at the top; then list the names at the end of the memo. Arrange this list alphabetically, except when high-ranking officials deserve more prominent placement. You can also address memos to groups of people--All Sales Representatives, Production Group, New Product Team.
  • Courtesy titles. You need not use courtesy titles anywhere in a memo; first initials and last names, first names, or even initials alone are often sufficient. However, use a courtesy title if you would use one in a face-to-face encounter with the person.
  • Subject line. The subject line of a memo helps busy colleagues quickly find out what your memo is about, so take care to make it concise and compelling.
  • Body. Start the body of the memo on the second or third line below the heading. Like the body of a letter, it's usually single-spaced with blank lines between paragraphs. Indenting paragraphs is optional. Handle lists, important passages, and subheadings as you do in letters.
  • Writer's initials. Unlike a letter, a memo doesn't require a complimentary close or a signature, because your name is already prominent at the top. However, you may initial the memo--either beside the name appearing at the top of the memo or at the bottom of the memo.

This salty snack also helps to control calorie hence maintaining a healthy weight and it also increases the nutrient density and energy density. (Henninger, S, 1997). Salty snacks are worthwhile in that they are very healthy more so for children since they benefit them most more so for children who have small stomach capacity that make it difficult for them to consume all the nutrients they need during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Active children and especially the athletes need more food for growth and energy. Adults who do participate in a lot of exercise can get a lot of nutrient boosts from the salty snacks. The age who may be having problems with the digestive systems or having difficulty in adjusting to false teeth, the eating of snacks can do them much better by ensuring they have a better-balanced diet rather than struggling to consume large quantities of meals. The salty snacks are very vital in that they have low calorie which lessen hunger pangs and the sagging willpower for dieters is shored up.

I, 1999). My number one audience will be the customer who will include children, the youth and the aged between the ages of 5-80 years. This is because of their consuming power and their purchasing influence. Different techniques and channels are used to reach them. This category of people can be reached through advertisement through the media where most of them access to. This category of individuals determine how money is spent in purchasing the salty snacks. Most of the customer audience are always busy, some as students and others do work, therefore getting time for meals in between the afternoon is not easy therefore in between snacks in the afternoon is of great help to them. A great number of them do like low calorie foods like the salty snacks which help them reduce their weight. The product quality is also appreciated. This product is made to ensure it appeals to people who like to try new products. The management are also very important since they help to draw strategic plans that meet the required standards for the customers and create a brand to the market. The workers are also very important in ensuring there is proper branding that meets the needs of the customers. One the product strategies have been communicated to the employees they get to know their role about the plan. (Salerno, D, 1988). The audiences in introducing the new product are important in that engaging external customers is important since they are attracted to buy the products. It is important to communicate the product message and company strategy to the employees so that they get to know their role in the plan. This will lead to increased productivity, they get motivated thereby increasing their morale and they will care about the new product. When you have a big idea in developing a salty snack product to the market you make efforts to ensure it reaches the customers as soon as possible. Therefore, the fact on the importance of the audience in introducing the product to the market must be considered. The vision of the company should be shared to the customer audience to get customer traction. This will enable the customer to know about the product much better and ensure the reputation of the company is well built. Through the audience you get to know what the product will contribute to. The customer audience is also important in that you get to understand the customer landscape. This is getting to identify the challenges that customers face and addressing the issues. Through this you get to understand the benefits the product will contribute to the customers and this gives an opportunity to give solutions to any problems arising, and in turn this will lead to increased efficiency in sales. The customer audience are important in that they help since it helps to get proper feedback on the product and provide required guidance. You also get to design the product in a desired manner, with all the required features being included keeping in mind what strategies are to implemented and the ones which are not to be implemented and also strip the necessary features and also this helps the development plans to be done on time and this decreases the time spent on making revision additions afterwards. In the customer audience you get to know the requirements of the product the audience need thereby meeting their requirements. The customers are also very important in that the questions they raise are well answered by the experts and this makes them o have a much deeper understanding on the salty snacks. Therefore, the specific product requirements are fully addressed. The personality of individuals is also get to be known thereby getting to know the functionality of the products and this also gives the opportunity on what audience to address first and also the personal descriptions are well addressed. Customers help identify what is missing or what is not clear. Through reaching the audience you get to understand them much better and this will help in putting them in a proper context. The management audience would be approached in terms of the strategies they make for the product to reach the audience. They are responsible for formulating frameworks within which the product will reach the market. The coworkers will also be approached in context of the role they play in branding and making the product much appealing to the customers. The customers will also be approached as individuals who provide feedback about the product and also as the target consumers of the product. (Faris, K. A., & Smeltzer, L. R, 1997). Credibility is important in getting to exchange vital information with the audiences. Therefore, credibility can be established through knowing your audience, this does not just involve about having information about you client. This involves having an understanding on important issues to them, getting to know the position they are in and the position they want to be. The understanding you get to know about the audience should allow rapport to be built in a quick manner, an emotional connection should be developed, leading to you audience to increase their thinking. Another way to ensure credibility is talking to the consumers in their own words, big words and industry jargon can be annoying and isolating your customers and the potential customers, so this will be avoided. Therefore, clear and precise words will be used plainly to make it easy to understand and enable the audience get to know more about the industry. Another way to ensure credibility is to ensure that the audience pain points are hatted and giving them clarity, therefore understanding the frustrations that your audience go through and, the challenge that they face and being able to solve their problems leads to building of credibility. The issues holding the product should be identified to realize the results. Clarity on what is going wrong and the reasons behind should be given to the potential customers to get their attention and putting ourselves in the position as people who know and showing experience on what they talk about. Another way to ensure credibility is to solve the problems of the audiences, this involves fixing the challenges to improve on credibility. Every audience would want to be heard and understood, therefore their needs should be met with a satisfactory solution and this will increase the chances of making more sales. Another way of ensuring credibility is by offering the audience with proof. Customers always want to know what is in the product before they buy it, therefore the experience and credential about the product would be sold thereby increasing the customer focus and this will increase credibility and build good relationships with the customers. (D. A., & Abramovich, I, 1993). Appropriate channel for delivering message to the target audience is creating visual consistency whereby a logo is the first point to start with. It brings curiosity and build recognition about the product. Recognizable symbol will be used for the product to be clearly identified and therefore making the brand of the product to be well known through just a simple logo. The simplicity of the logo enables the audience to recognize the product easily and whenever the brand is marketed a consistent visual message is delivered. Visual consistency will always be built to enable the potential customers to always recognize the product and consistent message will always be presented. The logo speaks a lot when it is well represented about the product to the audience. Designing of banner ads, email headers, landing pages and social profile backgrounds to reflect the colors and themes of the website and the logo delivers a powerful message about the product. This makes the product to be recognized by the potential customers. (Devita, G, 2000). References Henninger, S. (1997). An evolutionary approach to constructing effective software reuse repositories.
