For the first time in United States history single women over the age of eighteen have outnumbered married women over the age of eighteen in 2009. In 2011 single women will be the largest single demographic in the United States. In other words, single women will have major buying power in years to come, even more than the massive amount that they have now. It is a powerful market that advertisers should be extremely aware of. Everyone needs to have insurance, whether it is for their house, their automobile, or life insurance. While researching our target market we have discovered that women have major milestones in their lives that cause them to understand that their insurance needs may change at different points of their lives. When they realize that their current insurance plan may is insufficient to accommodate the changes in their lives they will only consider a new plan and a new insurance company. We will let them know that no matter what the changes are that are going on in their life, no matter what the milestone is, big or small, that State Farm Insurance has them covered and is there for them no matter what their needs are or how they may change. We would like to let single women across America know that State Farm will be there for them no matter what life throws at them. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to work with you and for giving us a chance to show you what we could do for you. Thank you.<br />190500253238Sincerely,<br />Innovative. Visionary.

They are licensed to sell insurance products in all 50 states of the US, District Columbia and provinces of Alberta, New Brunswick, and Ontario Canada. This company employees about 68, 517 people and is ranked amongst many large brands including Nike, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, and Google. State Farm provides property and casualty insurance, life and health insurance, annuities, mutual funds, banking services, and reinsurance products for both individuals and small businesses. <br />Whether it’s in schools, communities, online through statefarm.com, or offline at one of more than 17,000 agents offices State Farm is there. Even with growth and progression of technology State Farm still strives to help customers through real face to face and personal experiences. The company still operates under the founders mission “operate fairly and do the right thing for our customers.” In addition State Farm does right by the community also, as they are involved in sponsorships, safety programs, education leadership, and service-learning.<br />Being highly ranked and very involved in the community still leaves room for challenges. As much as State Farm does the company is often taken for granted. As many people as they insurer and support in the community State Farm seems to be unknown. It is often confused with one of its top competitors as people try and put the Allstate face to the State Farm brand. <br />One reason people may have a hard time recognizing and emotionally connecting to the brand is due to their conservative marketing approach. While trying to be safe and not alienate anyone State Farm also took on many roles and tried to satisfy the needs of everyone. <br />To overcome these barriers State Farm needs to target more of a general audience instead of several individual groups to make sure everyone is covered. For starters the company can put a face to the brand possibly a representation of the friendly local insurance agents. They need to associate themselves with something attention catching and memorable through advertising to help separate themselves from competitors. One way to do this is through social media, by getting their names out there on the internet through various new schemes. An while technology becomes increasingly more popular to handle business they should inform people about the ease of paying bills, reporting claims, accessing accounts, and many other functions that are available online even through the iPhone. <br />State Farm needs to remain ranked among the top brands and number one in its industry but needs to make some adjustments. The company can still maintain its conservative image and “Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm is There” slogan. However, they need to take advantage of opportunities that will make consumers fall in love with the brand. <br />Competition:<br />741045014027153352800195199087630016154406861175508381068611752616835615950284734040227252967990396240046615358172455502275<br />5721351040130<br />72110607473953986530736600<br />7499350303403044767535782253371215289242544767551498503828415502602574993505149850<br />Target Audience:<br />Women who recently graduated from college with bachelors, masters, and/or Ph.D.<br />Women who are just entering the job market and buying their first car.<br />Women who are purchasing their first home.<br />Women interested in becoming parents in the future.<br />Women interested in becoming married in the future.<br />Overall this audience consists of women being prepared for major life events that they may experience.<br />STRATEGIC RESEARCH<br />Primary Research<br />As individuals looking for car insurance we went to different State Farm agencies in Michigan as well as competitors to get the experience of wanting insurance from that company. We also conducted a focus group with women over the age of 18 and asked them the questions from our questionnaire to get a conclusion as to what women look for when choosing insurance.<br />Secondary Research<br />State Farm website, as well as competitor’s websites as well as commercials from State Farm as well as competitors produced past and present. Questions prepared by group and answered by Kevin Lynch.<br />Consumer Behavior Survey<br />As a group, we compiled a questionnaire with 10 questions that we distributed to 50 people male and female over the age of 18. We did male and female to see what they difference was in the way they searched for car insurance to see what sets the women apart and better target them. <br />SWOT<br />Strengths<br />Strong market position as it is ranked number 34 on Fortune 500 charts for 2010<br />Largest automobile insurer in the U.S. resulting from insuring 1 in every 5 automobiles in America <br />Strong brand recognition and customer loyalty<br />Strong and stable management only two families have ever held top executive positions from 1922 to the present<br />Weaknesses<br />No one face with State Farm <br />Very conservative making it difficult to appeal to younger audience<br />Until recently commercials have been conservative and targeted to an older generation<br />Current social media focuses on building bonds and keeping them which is also targeted to older audience<br />Opportunities<br />Putting a face to the brand possibly a face to represent the friendly local insurance agents<br />Letting people know that they are increasing the ease of paying bills online, making it more accessible even from an iPhone<br />The chance to associate themselves with something attention catching and memorable through advertising that may help to differentiate themselves from their competitors<br />The opportunity to capitalize on the new trend of social media and get their names out there the best they can online through various new schemes<br /> Threats<br />Increasing natural catastrophes likely to increase claims<br />From a corporate standpoint, threats are: competitive pressures & market pricing going below the risk.<br />Maturing categories, products, or services which will result in an increase of consumer claims<br />New regulations have been introduced by the government that the auto insurance will be based on driver’s safety record, mileage driven and years of experience in driving. This has resulted in reduction of car insurance rates greatly. State Farm Insurance also had to cut its insurance rates that resulted in $1.2 billion reduction in underwriting income.<br />Economic slowdown in the US likely to reduce revenues<br />Consumer Profile<br />We are talking to the Modern Single Women over the age of 18.

Various ads in this campaign will inform women on different topics on why State Farm is the best insurance company for them. This particular ad is targeted toward women, who have just completed a major life event which is graduating from college. It will encourage graduates to look on the company website to see why they should be showing their grades to their local agent. The answer is because State Farm offers a Good Student Discount helping them get a lower rate on their insurance coverage. The catchy slogan will grab their attention because the last word “parents” will appear to have been vandalized. Local Agent will appear below the word parents as if it is graffiti written on the ad with red spray paint.
