4 The FIT Program Goals
GoalThe ultimate goal for this campaign is to create awareness, educate, motivate and form a lasting impression.
How do we plan on achieving this goal?
implement a campaign that will be recognizable to each of our target au-‐‑diences, thus creating awareness.
AwarenessWe will achieve awareness by tar-‐‑
geting a series of ads toward each -‐‑
get each audience individually on a level that they can relate to, therefore reaching all members of our target audience.
EducationOnce each target audience is aware
of this campaign they will begin to be
educated on the FIT program through the messages in our advertisements, in addition to activities and various community events that will take place. Education will occur in what we call a
-‐‑dience is educated they, in turn, will spread that knowledge to another tar-‐‑get audience, and so on. For example, the teachers educate their students on the FIT program, they in turn go home and educate their parents about it and since the parents make up the community as a whole, in essence, the entire community is educated due to
What we will do for you
5The FIT ProgramGoals
MotivateThis is where knowledge begins
to correlate with motivation. As the students learn about FIT through our events, advertisements, etc. they will begin to become motivated. By stress-‐‑ing the fact that the FIT program is not only educational, but fun at the same time, students will be more mo-‐‑tivated to participate in the program. Once the students are motivated, they will go home and tell their parents who in turn are motivated by what their students are interested in, and so on. This is yet another example of
Lasting ImpressionFinally, we must form a lasting im-‐‑
pression upon all audiences to ensure success. Through our campaign we will stress that FIT is not just a pro-‐‑gram, it’s a lifestyle consisting of hav-‐‑ing fun and being healthy. We will stress that families will be able to reap
and out of the classroom.
6 The FIT Program Situation Analysis
Despite the fact that the FIT program is meant to be associated with posi-‐‑tive lifestyle and nutritional choices, there are various potential concerns that one must be prepared to address.
ObesityChildhood obesity is often a sen-‐‑
sitive subject between parents and children, especially at this young of an age. Most parents do not want to recognize the fact that their child is overweight or unhealthy. At the same time, many parents may be obese themselves and may not want to ad-‐‑mit the fact that they or their child is obese. In addition, some parents are ashamed of the fact that their children are obese, however do not want them to develop self esteem issues by tell-‐‑ing them the truth.
Due to the socioeconomic condi-‐‑tions of the area, many parents will
on healthy food. Processed and pack-‐‑
often the cheapest food choices at gro-‐‑cery stores. In addition, fast food res-‐‑taurants are cheap and easy for par-‐‑ents who struggle with money and have to feed a family.
Cross-Cultural Barriers A majority of the students in the
four schools participating in the FIT program are primarily Hispanic or African American. Due to this diver-‐‑sity factor, the fact must be taken into consideration that various ethnicities
Potential Concerns
7The FIT ProgramSituation Analysis
For example, studies have shown that Hispanic children are more likely to consume more legumes and vegeta-‐‑bles than African American and Cau-‐‑casian students. In addition, diseases such as diabetes are more common in Hispanic children and hypertension is more common in African American children.
Eating Disorders According to the National Health
Institute, one out of every three ado-‐‑lescents will develop an eating disor-‐‑der. Despite the fact that the students participating in the FIT program are in a very young age group, the fac-‐‑tor of eating disorders must be taken into consideration. Due to the nature of their age, these childrens’ minds are very impressionable. With that being said, their environment and surround-‐‑
later in life. We need to focus on send-‐‑ing positive self esteem messages to children so that they will not have to worry about developing an eating dis-‐‑order later on in their life.
Healthy Lifestyle vs. DietWe want to send a positive message
about the FIT program in order to en-‐‑courage students to eat healthy and be active. We must be cautious about these children’s self esteem and make sure they view FIT in a positive light. We do not want a child excessively di-‐‑eting or exercising because they take the goals and messages of FIT in the wrong direction. We want students to feel positive about the program and themselves and have high amounts
they are participating in.
8 The FIT Program Objectives & Strategies
Who are they?The students are all of the chil-‐‑
dren at four elementary schools in the Grand Rapids Public School Dis-‐‑trict; Buchanan, Campus, Chavez and Dickinson Elementary Schools. Those
targeted much closer through their teachers and parents, but we want to educate all students to start the FIT lifestyle at an early age.
Why are they important?The students are at the core of the
FIT program. They are our youngest audience and therefore the most im-‐‑pressionable. We also have the oppor-‐‑tunity to make the longest impres-‐‑sion on them. By implementing the FIT lifestyle of healthy eating and ac-‐‑tivity at a young age, we can change their entire life.
Target Audience- Students

Who are they?The teachers that are targeted will
be all of those at the four elemen-‐‑tary schools involved with the FIT program. Those teachers in the third
given more materials than the other
with activities for the students and en-‐‑couraged to participate with FIT. Par-‐‑ticipation is important not only for implementing the FIT lifestyle in their life but encouraging the students to do so as well.
Why are they important?The teachers are a very important
audience to target as they spend a large amount of time with the stu-‐‑dents. They spend over thirty hours each week with them and can be a role model to them.We also realize the importance of
students will see that FIT is for every-‐‑one.
Target Audience- Teachers
10 The FIT Program Objectives & Strategies
Who are they?The parents of all students in the
four elementary schools will be tar-‐‑geted by the FIT program. These are the parents of students in the third
also many other parents.
Why are they important?The parents are role models to their
students. They are responsible for implementing FIT at home and being a source of encouragement for their children. All of the parents are impor-‐‑tant, because we want all of the stu-‐‑dents to be aware of FIT at the young-‐‑est age possible.

Target Audience- Community
12 The FIT Program Objectives & Strategies
Marketing Objectives
Achieve attendance of 40% of community members at new FIT
This is a key to educating all of the members of the community. It is also meant to be a way to make them see that FIT is fun and that through these events they can learn about the FIT lifestyle.
Achieve attendance at FIT events by 75% of students during the next year.This is essential to reinforcing the
students’ knowledge of FIT and also helping them to see that FIT is fun. The best way to get these chil-‐‑dren excited about following the FIT program is through fun events.
Achieve 30% participation by parents in the events open to par-ents within the next year.Gaining the participation of par-‐‑
ents at FIT events is important as they are the individuals responsi-‐‑ble for implementing FIT at home. Without their participation their knowledge of FIT will not be great enough to aid in the education of the children.
Achieve 75% participation by teachers through implementa-tion of the FIT program into daily instruction.Involving the teachers means in-‐‑
volving the students. Not only will they be educating the students but they will be reinforcing their own knowledge as well.
13The FIT ProgramObjectives & Strategies
Communication ObjectivesAchieve 80% knowledge that
the FIT program is a healthy eating and activity program by students at the four elementary schools. We want the students to under-‐‑
stand that FIT is not about diet and exercise. It is important that their knowledge of FIT is the under-‐‑standing that FIT is about a healthy lifestyle.
Achieve 75% knowledge that the FIT program is about healthy eat-ing and activity by teachers with-in the next yearThe greater amount of teachers
who have knowledge of FIT will therefore create a greater number of students who are being educated correctly on the FIT lifestyle.
Achieve 50% knowledge that
the FIT program is about healthy eating and activity by parents within the next year.The parents are just as important
as the teachers and their knowledge of FIT is essential to implementing the FIT program and lifestyle at home.
14 The FIT Program Objectives & Strategies
Overall Strategy
The promotional strategy will follow a 3 step plan:
1. We will begin with the educa-‐‑tion of teachers of the FIT program
-‐‑dents and the community.
2. Next, we will build activities that will gain student participation in FIT and ultimately educate them to achieve knowledge of FIT.
3. Lastly, additional events will be planned and FIT materials will be distributed throughout the com-‐‑munity to achieve awareness and knowledge by all members.
The education of the teachers is -‐‑
sible for disseminating the material to the students. Their understand-‐‑ing of FIT as a wellness plan for their life is crucial to be sure that all other audience’s are being educat-‐‑ed correctly. The teachers spend a large amount of time with the chil-‐‑
-‐‑vidual in their life. The students will be involved in
lessons that will seek to educate them on the FIT program while completing mandatory material by the state. With the involvement of FIT in school lessons they will be exposed to the program and help to achieve knowledge of FIT amongst the students.
15The FIT ProgramObjectives & Strategies
The activities will involve work outside of school that will be op-‐‑tional, but will provide a positive outcome for the students and their families. Rewards and incentives will help to increase the students’ willingness to participate and in-‐‑crease their knowledge of FIT. Events will be open to all mem-‐‑
bers of the community and increase their recognition and knowledge of FIT.
of the community we will use non-‐‑traditional media that will also ed-‐‑ucate them of the FIT program, of healthy eating and activity.We will create posters that will
follow the creative portion of the campaign. They will be distributed
around schools and the community.Newspaper and radio ads will be
used to increase the awareness to everyone in the surrounding area of FIT events.A website will be utilized to gain
students, parents and community members. The website will serve as a supplement to any information and as a quick reference guide.The overall strategy will also work
to promote the creative strategy as
students’ daily lives. The activities and knowledge will then be taken home and passed onto family mem-‐‑bers, thus working to involve the whole community.

Creative Concept & Strategy
17The FIT ProgramCreative
ConceptOur creative concept for this pro-‐‑
gram revolves around what we call -‐‑
paign will consist of a series of ad-‐‑vertisements targeted toward each individual audience. Each group of
-‐‑dividual audience so that they can understand how the ads relate spe-‐‑
program in relation to them. De-‐‑spite the fact that we are targeting each individual audience, we are, in essence, targeting each audience as a whole. All of the target audi-‐‑ences are under the same umbrella and are all encompassed by the um-‐‑brella of making up the community as a whole. Each individual audi-‐‑ence will be able to relate to ads that
being encompassed as a whole.
StrategyOur strategy consists of reaching
our goal of awareness, education, motivation and forming a lasting impression by targeting each series of ads toward each of our key audi-‐‑ences. We will promote and depict a healthy lifestyle through activity and nutrition and do so with im-‐‑ages, text and colors that are relat-‐‑able to each audience. We also want to stress the importance of the fact that FIT is fun. We will depict this in our advertising and make fami-‐‑lies realize that FIT is a fun way to educate yourself and get in shape. Students will be more enthusias-‐‑tic about a program that is fun and will in turn motivate their parents

Distribution Objectives
33The FIT ProgramMessage Distribution
Distribution Objectives & Strategy
FrequencyStudents will be targeted continu-‐‑
ously and daily. The FIT program should become a part of their ev-‐‑eryday life. Through activities in the classroom, being exposed to FIT materials around school and events, the students’ knowledge of FIT will always be increasing.Teachers, parents and community
members will be targeted weekly. Through encouragement to visit the
all members of the community will be exposed to FIT often to increase their knowledge and participation with the program.All audiences will be exposed
to pulsing messages when special events are being held and therefore additional advertising is necessary.
StrategyFIT will become a part of the stu-‐‑
dents’ lives through activities that will make them want to learn about
This is a key part in assuring that the students are being well educat-‐‑ed. Teachers will be responsible for
-‐‑dents, through the implementation of FIT materials into lessons.Parents and community members
will be involved through events that support the students’ education and homework that involve FIT. Involv-‐‑ing the parents and community will increase their knowledge of FIT so that they can continue to educate their own children and implement the FIT lifestyle at home.
34 The FIT Program Message Distribution
Distribution TacticsPrint materials will be distributed
in rotation.Each school will be provided with
a FIT banner that will serve as a re-minder to students and staff every-day that they are participants in the FIT program.
Posters will be placed in each par-ticipating classroom, around the school and in the community.
Special activity boards will be placed in classrooms around the school. These boards will involve stu-dents in fun activities so they know FIT is fun.
By exposing audiences as often as possible this will work to continue to increase their knowledge that FIT is a program about healthy eating and activity.
Special events will create a fun
environment for children and a way to learn about FIT. They will also be a great way to bring all of the members of the community together.
FIT will be integrated into lesson plans and activities that will get chil-dren excited to learn many different subjects while learning about FIT.
FIT songs and videos will encour-age participation and increase atten-tion levels in class.
Lastly, we will use the internet as an additional reference for all audiences to use.
A website will be used for quick and easy reference of FIT information. Partnerships will be formed with the local libraries and computers will be set aside in the school so that every-one will have the opportunity to take advantage of this media.
