Product Positioning

“Positioning is not what you do to a product. Positioning is what you do to the mind of the consumer. That is, you position the product in the mind of the consumer.” (Mullin et al., 2014, pg. 44)

We want to position the Shuckers as an irreplaceable experience that can not be found anywhere else.

Not only do the Shuckers want to position themselves within the coastal counties, but also the Hattiesburg area.

Sponsor - Cable One

Promotional Strategies

“Promotional activities are a valuable strategy to attract new consumers and increase the frequency (participating, purchasing, attending) of current consumers (Mullin et al., 2014, pg. 307).”

New Promotions Little League Night Pregame Celebrity Softball game

Distribution Channels

In our proposal to the Biloxi Shuckers, we would like to establish new partnerships that will be responsible for ticket distribution. 1. Partnership with Ticketmaster Mullin et al. (pg. 385) explain that having such a centralized online portal will make life easier

on fans and bring value to the organization. 2. Partnership with Walmart Neighborhood Markets Ticket distribution typically corresponds with new sponsors and new promotions (Mullin et al.,

pg.386).

Distribution Channels

Distribution will be delivered by: 1. Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat) 2. Billboards 3. Radio

Social media has been shown to facilitate building an audience, engage fans, and drive behavior (Mullin et al., pgs. 348-353).

Public Relations Plan

Public Relations has been defined by Mullin et al. (2014, pg. 314) as “a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their publics.”

Having a strong positive image within the Biloxi community is essential in promoting the ideals of the organization.

We have created three community relational ideas to assist the Shuckers in their public relations efforts. 1. Partnership with “Make-A-Wish Foundation” 2. Partnership with the American Red Cross 3. Partnership with the Salvation Army
