Starting at US$499, this piece of technology is available for purchase at all Microsoft retails stores in the US and Canada, online in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, United Kingdom, and the US. It is also available from many online retailers, such as Best Buy, Future Shop, London Drugs, and Staples.

Page 10: Microsoft Surface Group Assignment - Group1_V6 - Dave's Updates

Microsoft Surface Marketing Plan

Both parents and students do a lot of research online before they purchase a tablet and therefore Search engine marketing will be used to increase visibility in search results and redirect prospects to the landing page where the offer details will be listed.AdWords ads will be purchased from Google and obtained from Bing(which is also a Microsoft service) at a cost per click basis.

Email Marketing This tactic is targeted to our primary audience only. All existing registered Windows 8 users will be targeted via an email campaign. This will be an internal list available from the Microsoft Operating System team. The email marketing offer will be customised to increase awareness of the Surface RT tablet and improve click through rates.

Mobile Marketing A mobile marketing campaign will support the product launch and will be broken up

into two sections 1) Students who already have a windows mobile

a. These users will be targeted with direct messaging leading up to and post launch.

2) Non-Microsoft Mobile Users a. These users will be targeted through mobile advertising options

including mobile banner ads on websites and mobile search engine marketing ads.

Direct Marketing Ontario University Fairs

As a test we will also be marketing at the Ontario Universities Fair (OUF) which is a unique opportunity to reach approx. 120,000 Grade 12 students between the ages of 16-18 years and their parents over a weekend (Sept. 27-29.) This program is designed to leverage this event to engage prospects i.e. students and their parents around product information and product demos related to the Surface RT. Products will also be available on hand for sale and everybody who purchases the product on-site will be eligible for entering a contest using the Surface RT to win 1 of 3 $5000 scholarships. Sales staff will also be handing out other product collateral for attendees to take away.

Out of Home Advertising – On Campus Colleges and Universities across Canada

To increase awareness and strengthen the visibility of the offer to students, billboards will be placed directly on campuses nationwide through the Zoom Media Network. Zoom Media has a well established relationship with over 70 campus locations. Reaching a captive audience can be achieved with the Classic Boards generally found in restrooms, waiting rooms, changing rooms and fitting rooms. (The Classic Boards may be outfitted to support on-frame postcard distribution should we want to increase the placements of the offer with a tangible call to action.) The Mega Lit Boards and Campus Banner Boards are great for high visibility areas where students are known to spend times in large groups. For example, cafeterias, the campus commons and sporting arenas. When students are in the mood to shop on campus, these ads will stand out in the hallways leading to their favourite shops and/or the campus bookstore.

Paid SearchesAccording to Comscore research, Google has 67% of the market share and Bing has 16.5% of the market share. These two search engines are therefore being used for Paid Searches for this campaign12.

In order to be effective, Microsoft RT will be working along with Cornerstone to do the following

o Keyword Researcho Search Engine Optimisationo Data Managemento Online Success Testing

See Appendix 7.3 for details on services provided by Cornerstone

Targeted Email MarketingAll existing Windows 8 students will be sent a targeted triggered email that will continue our engagement with them beyond the Windows 8 and reinforce our value prop.

Ontario University Fairo Event (Sept. 27-29) – The event is our first touch-point with the target audience where

Event attendees will be encouraged to engage in conversation with sales staff on product information and product demos, purchase the Surface RT and enter the contest to win 1 of 3 $5000 scholarships.

o Direct MarketingThere will be a follow-up email sent to all leads who did not purchase a laptop at the event-site

Out of Home Advertising o On Campus – Our targets have been narrowed down to College and University campuses

with high enrolment numbers: 8,000+ for Colleges, 10,000+ for Universities. As this is our primary target audience, we know that having a highly visible presence on campus will be key to ensuring the overall branding awareness. Reiterating the offer within these ads using vanity URLs, a limited time offer should aid with increasing the propensity to buy a Surface RT should during the first few weeks of the school season (end of August through the first week of October). See Appendix 7.4 for specific institutions being targeted and their associated enrolment numbers.
