Re: Advertising Campaign focused towards the Boston, metropolitan area

Through reviewing the issues facing the Zenith Pet Foods, Inc., I strongly recommend the advertising campaign designated for the Boston, metropolitan area for the following reasons:
• Boston accounts for 1.2% of the U.S. population in which highly correlates with dog ownership. Therefore there is an opportunity to invest in the market.
• The household dog food industry is growing and will continue to grow
• Potential to be the first to tap into frozen dog food product in this region with possible expansion to other regions.
• Opportunity to invest in organic dog food which has grown 64%
• Distributing in grocery stores is ideal since it is the largest channel for dog food
• The campaign will focus on national television reaching a broad audience while still focusing on local media such as newspapers
• The campaign will focus on the product being a premium-priced, high-quality product highlighting the benefit of the luxurious coat your pet will have.
In conclusion, I believe the campaign will be successful in boosting customer awareness about the brand. However, the company must be able to continue to invest time and money into advertising in order to sustain their efforts.
