- Acquaint the Yugoslav public with location of the retail
points, where SHARP products can be bought.
- Promote SHARP products, sold on the Yugoslav market
- Increasing the number of new customers.
- Increasing selling of SHARP products.
- The entire Yugoslav public.
- Present and possible customers of SHARP products.
- Dealers and retailers.
- From the beginning of April, to the end of May.
Two separate sales promotion campaigns
would be conducted.
- First, the prize-winning contest organised, for the public
at large using daily newspapers of the widest circulation. The aim of this campaign is to
acquaint the public with selling pints of SHARP products and the range of products offered
there, as well as the range of products offered to the commercial and industrial
enterprises and state organisations and institutions.
- The second campaign would be conducted in retail points,
where SHARP products are sold, by giving prizes to customers buying SHARP products. The
aim of this campaign is to develop good relationship between SHARP and the buyers of SHARP
products, reflecting later in the customers remaining loyal to the firm and acquiring
repeatedly SHARP products in future. It will also help the dealers to acquaint themselves
with new selling techniques and means of promoting sales. Thus, the retail dealers would
have an adequate approach to the buyers of SHARP products and their own profit, based on
the effected sales.
For the first campaign, following media
would be used:
- BLIC, daily newspaper with the widest circulation, would be
the basic medium.
- National TV RTS-1, to announce the start of the campaign.
- Local Belgrade TV, to announce the consecutive publishing
of the coupons in BLIC.
- Local TV stations all over the country, with the same task
as the Belgrade one.
- The campaign could also be supported by announcements on
the radio and some specialised magazines.
For the second campaign, the following
media would be used:
- Local TV stations, the cost would be borne by dealers.
- The media used in the first campaign, except BLIC, would
carry a message covering both campaigns.
For the first campaign:
- Amount of prizes: 10.000 DEM gross
- Costs for additional advertising: 6.000 DEM
- Lawyers fees and other expenses: 1.000 DEM
First campaigns total: 17.000 DEM
For the second campaign:
- Prizes: 2.500 DEM gross
- Other expenses: 500 DEM
Second campaigns total: 3.000 DEM
TOTAL: 20.000 DEM

According to draw |
- The ad in BLIC would be conceived in three parts. One part
contains the list of dealers. The second part carrying one of the production lines of
SHARP (8 in all), including a picture of the best product or the one most sold. The third
part contains the coupon. After each draw, list of winners must be published. The coupons
would not contain questions and winners are in no obligation of buying a SHARP product. In
this action, the emphasis is given to the world soccer cup and the slogan: MORE
EXCITEMENT IN WATCHING THE WORLD SOCCER CUP THANKS TO THE SHARP PRODUCTS, or something
alike.
- Whereas, among chosen dealers, the prize would be won by
buyers of SHARP products. In this case, there should be numerous prizes, won by as many
customers as possible. In that sense, the dealers would get most of the prize fund
received directly from SHARP. The dealers would be obligated to advertise this action
separately at selling points as well as in local media. The best dealer of the month, i.e.
the one who has achieved the maximum sales, would also receive a special additional prize
that he would grant to one of the SHARP customers. In this action, the emphasis is on the
SHARP buyers and the slogan: SHARP TAKES CARE OF CUSTOMERS AND GIVES THEM PRIZES,
or something alike.

SHARP SOCCER CAMPAIGN on Yugoslav market
covered the period from June 2 to July 12, in daily sport paper "SPORT". We had
41 ad, more than ˝ of page (exactly 4/7, and the paper format is aprox. B-4). Every day
we promoted one single, or a group of SHARP products, and in the same time we were
presenting a list of 21 choosen dealers. We also used SHARP SOCCER Logo, with slogan:
SUPPORT THE BLUE TEAM, SHARP WILL SUPPORT YOU! The campaign had sales promotion's effects,
becouse in every issue, on the back page, were a coupons for SHARP BIG LUCKY DRAW. Lucky
Draw was for all paper readers, not only for SHARP purchaser. Our strategy were to
introduce the yugoslav public with location of SHARP stores and with huge asortiment of
SHARP products. With mentioned slogan we sucsseded to make a difference between SHARP and
competitions. Competitors had simple and inadequate slogans, i. e. WATCH SOCCER WITH OUR
TVs, or similar. We belive, that we made better slogan, which had better relation between
SHARP and WORLD SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP. We received about 10.000 coupons from readers. Every
week on award ceremony we had a guests - a famouse yugoslav sportsmans - which
"find" the lucky winner. That ceremony had a successful Public Relations effect
– the front page of "SPORT", with pictures.
"SPORT" is the oldest, the most
popular and readible sport paper in Yugoslavia, with larger curculation then all others
sport daily papers and magazines (50.000 daily). Also, "SPORT" readers are the
people with larger incomes.
In the same period (May and June) we had
the ads in weekly paper "NOVOSTI OGLASI", where we advertise some products with
special price offer.
