backstitch social plan

one way to grow their social networking status is by placing the facebook adress onto the current flyers and other forms of advertisement.

by building and online relationship with other local shops so they in term you can advertise each other when trying to promote special deals and events.

backstitch advertisement

Flyer 1 to the left and flyer 2 to the bottom
 Style:flyer handouts
Time Scale: May 5th-8th
budget:£150
market position:the advertisement may have a hard time standing a good place in the marker because backstitch isn't that well known and some people who would take or be given a flyer might not fully not what it is until they read/look at it plus there isn't a strong guarantee that people will take one
target audience: women 14-80, interest in fabrics, sewing

this is the backstitch flyers, they where planned to be handed out to people in the middle of town cambridge and in a few local shops


 Style:web slider
Time Scale: May 5th-june 5th
budget:0
market position:should have a good market position since the slider will be on the backstitchs website as its a web sliders for there slider to help advertise there classes. it won't attract to the older part of the audience as they might not use the web or computers that much because they don't fully understand them

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.

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


Relevant Legal and ethical issues:
for legal issues is the clearance for backstitches logos and products and clear any edition images of clients products, this may mean taking new photos of the stock.
for ethical issues around the quality/ environmental issues are around the production of the fabrics from unethical labor/ the type of materials used in the fabric production. the main dession is to not and try to draw attention to this and make the advert look attractive 

advert needs to be cover by the ASA 
ASA none broadcasting advertising rules.
most of the relate to spersific industries and are not relevant to our client.our main aim is to insure that we are no misleading/mis-selling the product
