Supporting Facts: We have conducted secondary research to locate the top cities in the United States that have a high rate of allergies due to their geographical structure and environmental situations.

“Spring is high season for allergies across the U.S. and time for the "spring allergy capital" list from the nonprofit Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). The AAFA evaluates 100 U.S. cities for spring allergy prevalence, pollen scores, allergy medicine use, and board-certified allergists per patient. “

Proposed Test Markets

Proposed Locations

This year, Philadelphia made two different top 10 lists from AAFA. It moved up to No. 6 on the

spring allergy list, from No. 12 last year.

Charlotte, N.C., dropped a couple spots on AAFA's spring allergy capitals list, making it to

No. 5 after hitting No. 3 last year.

Dayton, Ohio, moved up to No. 4 in the AAFA spring allergy capitals list; last year, the city

claimed the No. 8 spot.

Chattanooga shot up to No. 3 on the AAFA 2010 spring allergy capitals list, from No. 17 last year. Use

of allergy medicines is worse than average in this Southern city that borders the Appalachian mountain

range.

Louisville dropped one spot in 2010, to make it the second worst city for spring

allergies.

The worst U.S. city for spring allergies in 2010 is Knoxville, Tenn., which moved up from No. 2 last year. Knoxville had a worse than average pollen score and use of allergy medicine. The ratio of

allergy specialists to patients was about average, according to the AAFA. Pollen is the biggest trigger for spring allergies, no matter

where you live.

No. 1: Knoxville, Tenn.No. 2: Louisville, Ky.No. 3: Chattanooga, Tenn.

No. 4: Dayton, OhioNo. 5: Charlotte, N.C.No. 6: Philadelphia

Measured Target: Women; Ages: 18 - 49

Planning Target: Middle Class, married, stay-at- home, moms. Mainstreamer, explorer and highly active in the community as well as their children’s interest, schools and activities.

Reasoning: In a 2005 study, the U.S. Census Bureau reported

an estimated 5.6 million stay-at- home moms. That is a 22% increase from 1994. This

number has been predicted to increase with the increase of layoffs in the current economic condition in the U.S.

STRENGTHS

Magazine audiences are growing — and young adults read heavily: The number of magazine readers has grown more than 4% over the past five years. In fact, 93% of adults overall and 96% of

adults under age 35 read magazines.

Magazine advertising gets consumers to act: Two separate sources show that more than half of all readers (56%) act on magazine

ads. And, action-taking has increased +10% in the last five years.

Magazines contribute most throughout the purchase funnel: Magazines are the most consistent performer in the purchase funnel with particular strength in the key

stages of brand favorability and purchase intent.

Stay at home moms rely on educating themselves on how to take care of their

children. Magazines are outlets to how they can find out about children products in the market

for their kids.

WEAKNESSES

• Since it is reported that stay-at-home moms are in the low economic scale, they may not be able to afford the magazine or have interest in investing on the subscription.

• Running an AD in a magazine can be expensive.• They may skip through the AD if their child is not

allergy prone.• Younger stay-at-home moms are not active readers.

online, instead of picking up the magazine.• The rise of social media, another source of news and

product information.

CONCLUSION

A magazine AD is particularly ideal for this product since we can include a coupon and lead them to the website to learn more on allergies. Since our target is middle class, the coupon is of benefit to them to lead to the purchase. It is also much more convenient to snip out the coupon on a printed AD than search and print the coupon, using one’s printer and ink. The magazine is flipped through by different crowds while at the supermarket, so we will reach more audience members.

Schedule Explanation

Spring season begins in March and ends in June. Since these magazines

publish monthly, we want to publish at the magazine with the highest qualified

demo starting at February, one month before. US

Weekly has the highest qualified demo, so we will run from February-June.

Family Circle is the second highest, so we will run the ad all through flu season March-June. Since Oprah

has the lowest, we will only advertise at the peak months of flu season.
