Questions 1. See Excel sheets. 2. Additional $10,000 would be ideally invested in Radio because it has the highest rating per dollar, however, we have reached our budget maximum for radio so we would have to allocate the 10,000 to either TV or Newspaper. Since TV has a slightly higher rating per dollar than newspaper does I would suggest investing the additional funds in TV. Investing $10,000 more in TV would increase the rating by 55 points. An increase of $10,000 would increase the budget by 3.5% compared to a 2.5% increase in rating points. Management could decide that the additional cost is not worth the rating increase. It should be discussed. 3. The highest rating points is 90 for the first 10 TV ads. After 10 Ads, ratings bump down to 55, but stay there indefinitely. Same goes for Radio and Newspaper. They both go down to 20 and 5 respectively and stay there indefinitely. This means that the exposure rating coefficients that HJ provided are not very sensitive. Flamingo can count on the segment 2 ratings to stay the same, according to the information provided. 4. See Excel sheets. 5. I would suggest to go for the option in

The Product is Girl Scout cookies as well as the Girl Scouts themselves. Since 1912 Cookie sales have played a major role in supporting the Girl Scouts organization at the council and troop levels. Being able to target certain people can be tricky sometimes specially if you don’t know what you’re doing or what your target is. You have to be able to sell yourself as well as the product and who better to sell Girl Scout cookies then young girls. The Girl Scouts mainly target the middle and upper class families with kids in the same age group as the girls in the Girl Scout organization. Cookie sales have grown into a major money marketing operation, bringing in over $714 million a year. However, cookie sales have declined one percent each year for the past six years. The Girl Scouts have made several changes to the program that they hope will help spark sales and create cost saving opportunities. The Girl Scout troops will be selling cookie boxes for four dollars apiece, up from the $3.50 price mandated in 2006. The Girl Scouts will also be asking certain troops to reduce their cookie lineups to six varieties.…
