If we have to work
the current market or
target “ Market

worth it since:
-We’re talking about
smaller number of
customers
This is why it is
better for pangea to
enter new market or

them.

health.
This is why Nestle’s Products and brands and based on healthiness and wellness

AFIIMS
Awareness
Familiarity
Intention
Image
Key motivator
Satisfaction
Based on these factors,
a brand could be built
or destroyed ??
If one of these factors is
missing or weak, then
we have to reinforce
it.??
Pangea has 3 weak
Factors
-Awareness?
-Intention
-Key motivator
64. Why should we Focus on Key
motivator and USPs?
Based of survey done, 76% of the questionnaire have heard of Pangea, but
only 50% Visit is.
Why?
Because the Key motivator is missing. We should stimulate our clients, and
remind them of the plus we offering.
66. How can we Focus on Key motivator
and USPs?
The key motivator is the answer for:
“Why should you choose Pangea or come to Pangea?”
“What should we offer for the consumer in order to let him choose Pangea?”
67. How to get there?
1. Use your biggest benefits
2. Be unique
3. Solve An industry “Pain Point” or “Performance gap”
4. Be specific and offer proof
5. Condense into one clear and concise sentence
6. Integrate your USP into all marketing Materials
7. Deliver on your USP’s promise
70. Marketing campaigns
To increase awareness and top of mind, as mentioned before, we will need
massive ATL communication:
Radio ads
Billboards “ jounieh , dbayeh, zalka , khaldeh, damour, jiyyeh, saida”
71. Marketing campaigns cost

2000$ all summer @ competitors PiKasso billboards
Budget: 32000 / month
if the mentioned Billboards are available
72. Competitions
As mentioned before, we have to interact directly with our clients “ Young
adults”
To do this, we can create competitions:
radios ads “ NRJ or Virgin Radio” since they’re targeting young adults
Announce the competition:
Visit pangea
Take a crazy Picture or a selfie next to the pool
Share it on social media #Pangea
the most crazy selfie will get a full package from Pangea”
73. Competitions
By doing this:
We are increasing visits frequency
Communication directly with our new targets
Boosting our social media traffic
Increasing awareness
74. Loyalty programs
All comers will get a branded A5 paper with 3 empty boxes
With every visit, this paper should be signed by upper management
Every 3 signatures, the consumer gets a discount or free entrance to
pangea.
75. Loyalty programs
By doing this:
We are gaining consumers loyalty from the first visit
We are increasing visits frequency
76. 18+ Entrance
In order to attract young adults, it’s better to take the decision
Allowing only 18+ clientele to enter your resort
Kids don’t generate income
Kids will annoy or disturb your clients
Kids are the main reason behind your clients' escape
