final production plan

Final Production Plan

Dates and Timescales
Production launch - June 20th 2015
With the new season line of clothing coming in for summer we feel that this would be the best time to launch the advertisements. 
Artwork with client by end of march, proofs from printer first week of april, webspace and cookies brought through april.




The Final deadline is for the 9th of February,for the adverts to be complete, but the client is unsure about when to launch the advertising so we have advised that they start circulation around the 21st of February as this is a week after Valentines Day so they will not go unnoticed in the overabundance of adds for products for Valentines Day.

These advertisements have had 2 weeks where we are able to work on them for 10 and a half hours so in total we have had 21 hours to complete the advertisements and other tasks.

Resources and Equipment
A company to print the flyers to 

The resources i'm going to require to complete the advertisements are; The photos of the fabric from the backstitch website, a computer able to run while using high-definition images, and photoshop CS6. With these resources I will be able to complete the advertisements.

Task Management

Flyer - Charlotte - Time Scale: May 5th-June 8th - Budget:£150 - 1-2 weeks of work to complete
Magazine add - Rory - Time Scale: May 5th-June 5th - Budget:£0 - 3-4 weeks till complete

Budget
Campaign Cost£208 for work on the magazine, £143 for work on the Web Slider, £165 for work on the Flyer, Printing cost of Flyers £150 and printing cost of Magazine add £885 + VAT per insertion for 1 week. Total Campaign Cost: £1151

Legal and ethical issues 
There should be no ethical issues with any of the productions however if someone brings up a possible issue before they go into printing it will be meticulously reviewed so no issues will be an issue later. 


There are no reasons why there will be any legal issues as all of the images used for the productions where under fair use (In regulations with Creative Commons). If legal issues do arise they shall be resolved through the legal system. 
Under ASA UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing (CAP Code) there is no breach in the code apart from a posable problem in 03 Misleading Advertising due to the tag of 100% satisfaction guaranteed however there is no problem because under the rule "Marketers must not use the term “free trial” to describe “satisfaction or your money back” offers or offers for which a non-refundable purchase is required." as there is no money back offer.

Production Plan


  1.  Dates and timescale including product lunch date:in terms of release date week prior to the store birthday to 
  2.  resources and equipment:for the resources and equipment the use of photoshop in order to make the flyers/post cards and then printer paper for the printing of them
  3.  personal and activity:by passing out the flyers in the middle of town and by word of mouth can get the ad campaign around. if a small group went into Cambridge center the flyers/post cards can easily get passed around and word of mouth helps boost is as people may over hear the small group talking to people about it while handing stuff out
  4.  budget:for the budget that backstitch has was initially nothing but after the talks we has suggested for the flyers/post cards to have 1000 printed for the small price of £72 was very feasible for backstitch to do
  5. Relevant Legal and ethical issues: for the advert there are no clear legal or ethical issues with it. the ad is perfectly fine as there is nothing in it that may been seen as offensive to anyone or type of culture or have anything that may come across as false advertisement.

Backstitch 19/02/2015

Notes from last meeting at Backstitch 19/02/2015 
Action Points

  • Create double sided flyer for sideways advert.
  • Experiment with the fonts on the first design, to keep format consistent
  • For the second design try to change and make it more minimalist and simple, remove homely feel.
  • Change Rockwell font to anyone of these, calbri font, Ludicas font and seoge script.
  • Find out Rory's initial ideas for Alice's newspaper article asap.
  • Research more about distribution.
  • Smaller local shops, salons, cafes, places which included no gifting features, would be ideal.
  • Slider idea is strong through social media, create it so it flows with the site's feel and tone.
  • Create a social media advert to support the online store and Facebook page etc.
  • Plan, investigate the social network aspect on how products can get across to people plus do some investigation into how we can make the distribution productive and efficient in message getting across to people


Presentation we showed Backstitch




two most appropriate ideas would be the newspaper advert and the second backstitch flyer idea.


  • Newspaper: potential target audience would be women possible of ages maybe late teens so 18 to there later years of 60. this product has much potential as it easily catches the eye of people with its design. it would stand out easily in the market place and have good potential in the market. the newspaper advert would be a good choice of advertisement as is style is appealing to all.
  • for the second flyer idea its target audience would be around the same as the newspaper one as its goal is the same to promote backstitch,it has ok potential it has all the information on contacting backstitch and address which gives it a good market possession as it contains all of this information.

legal and ethical JWT

Legal and Ethical
for the audience grid it seams that not many people understand the add at first till it is later explained by me to them.
so far i have managed not to find anything wrong with the add legal and ethical reasons wise, the add seams to be fine and doesn't have any representation issues has occurred from my chosen advert

regulation 
the ASA regulates the advertisement industrial in the uk, their role to to look at any advert the people who consider misleading, inappropriate or offensive in any kind of way. and that some of the adds that they look at are watersheded to be only shown after certain times due to the nature they harbour or are removed entirely.

Animal cruelty and banking
the animals used with-in the adverts are CGI and are not real animals. the real variants would of served as a base so that the CGI ones could walk like them, but there would be no type of cruelty happened to the animals.
for the banking they are tying to say that they are different from any other types of banks with that they are not trying to sell people types of insurance they don't need and that they are not trying to mess around with the money in accounts and such

UNIT1: P2: PRINT CASE STUDY:first direct little frill







the add is advertising the online bank first direct which currently is the Uk's telephone and internet only banking company.its trying to reach out to a new audience of potential customers to converter from their current bank to first direct, which advertises its self as the bank with a difference and treats like their customers how they want to be treated. what the campaign says is that they are the type of bank you won't have problems with when it comes to customer services and that they are a reliable bank. 
Colours of the advert are in black and white, content is that of a Frilled-Neck Lizard running down a road chasing something and trying to get its attention. The Key art of the image is just the Little Lizard branded LittleFrill running
there is no branding on the image. typography is nearly just a hashtag and then LittleFrill and @LittleFrill. which is there for a social media for things like Facebook and twitter. target audience is most likely young adults/adults and anyone who is interested into moving to online banking. 
their current advertisement is 2D digital, print and tv based.
the tv and digital still adverts work together to portray a message that first direct is a different type of bank.
there ads come across as easy and simplistic which is to say that the bank is the same as well. the adds are meant to portray what the bank does with using less is more to get the messages across. like the the picture above which shows the types of fonts they have used.

adverts recognised style is that off animals with the capability to talk like ordinary humans, that talk to the view directly about how they hate bad customer services and tends to have all there adds in black and white. the add is trying to get people to change from their current bank to first direct.

Genre:banking, to get people to join their back as its different and they claim to care more about customer survice
Frequency:people should se this quiet often as its soon frequently on tv and once or twice on social media
Process: the making of the advertisement for making these are rough ideas, drafts of those ideas, then a selective few of those drafts are turned into adds

P4: Understanding how advertising is distributed and promoted

after searching around i couldn't find where my chosen advert campaign may have been advertised either in magazines and the streets. the add might of been in posted on bus stops to gets peoples attention while waiting for a bus, it may also be located on build-bords on roads on on buildings to grab peoples attention while driving. it may also be shown in various new papers

Backstitch is a fabric and haberdashery store based in Cambridgeshire. It was established in 2010 by Alice Synge with the mission to supply stylish modern craft fabric and quality haberdashery to UK sewists.
A keen sewer herself, Alice stocks only products she would want to use herself, so the selection has been curated to her modern sense of style, and with keen attention to quality.
The shop is run with military efficiency and provides excellent customer service.  
Orders are shipped out double quick and if you have a query Alice is always ready to help.




  1. Their market positionOnline market - Website based.
    In store market - Range is included at Burwash manor, which is a rather popular place for people to visit on days out, they also put on day activities as well so therefore there may take intrest in the shops crafting range.
    http://www.backstitch.co.uk/classes-workshops.html
  2. Their online presence - Strong social media base - Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pintrest, Email, Flickr -
    all of which include promotion 
    of the products and prices.

    1. Current image, branding and advertising - Theres a strong based of branding on the online facebook page, which shows you the latest offers and event, and new fabrics, in-store and available online - located on the Facebook page, blog, local classes ads, Mums-Net classes and on Sheep Shop Cambridge.
    2. The product offer - Backstitch has a wide range of crafting and design products to offer ranging from paper patterns to tools.

    These of which range from several different fabric formations for creating jerseys, dresses, shirts and much more. Also you're offered different dress patterns via paper and digital for designing clothes, toys and jewellery and also have their own sewing machine repair service. 


    From what they have to offer I believe that due to the shop at Burwash Manor being the only outlet, it may be the stock room for online purposes as well. So this may enhance business purposes, around deliveries and staff.


    Audience research - From reading through reviews i think that the target audience has not specific area due to the fact that there are people of whom are interested in crafts and fabric creations, and some of whom visit on days out around the manor with families tend to investigate all shops on the site.

    Advertising Unit: Nanna Mexico Research

This includes the menu, their store locations in cambridge, contact numbers and about the store and how it was founded and the values that the store wants to uphold. "Buy fresh, Cook simple, Waste nothing". There is also an online ordering feature which from the reviews of clients works well but some feel does not deliver out far enough but apart from that is fast and arrives promptly with the food still hot.

    Current image, Branding and Advertising
    The current image from the customers is that the food that they serve is of a good quality and fast but sometimes the food they serve is not of the same quality or some say the the service was extremely poor and did not stay true to there pervious times eating there. This could be the downfall of the brand or it could be a one of of bad service that all establishments have. The current state of the branding and advertising is the deals that they offer.


    The Product they Offer
    The food that Nanna Mexico offer is simple, authentic Mexican food at a good price. The food that is available is Burritos, Tacos, Quesadillas, Tortas, Nachos, Salad, Burrito, Enchilada and a kids meal. With only 2 other Mexican food establishments in cambridge this is mildly unique food for the surrounding area and as such has a foot hole in the food market in cambridge. And being one of the only Mexican take out store in/around cambridge they are a one off store that has a large following for the food that they make.
