Content marketing idea for BMW brand

BMW campaign

Deshuai Yan

  This is a student-concept for a Sheridan Pilon School of Business Digital Marketing Course.

           I create this campaign for BMW company. My idea is conduct a promotion campaign for customers. We provide discount for customer. On a special day, we sell all series model cars to customers. If customers’ relatives or friends has a BMW car, customers will receive 10% off discount to buy their cars. My audience is someone who already had a BMW car and middle class and middle-upper class customers.

Poster:

 (BMW, 2016)

My goals are clear out 2016 BMW car inventory and provide customers benefits and have good relationship with customers and find new customers. I think l will launch this campaign on September because 2017 BMW cars will come on the end of this year. My social strategy is use internet and public platforms. We use Facebook, Twitter and Youtube to promote our campaign. We also focus on use advertising, TV and newspaper to attract customers. We will mention BMW provide to benefits to customers. BMW won’t care about profit, BMW want appreciate customers for supporting BMW.

The Brand
In this case, I am creating a marketing campaign for Tesla. This is an upcoming brand that has reached great heights recently in meeting customer needs in an amazing way.
My Idea
My idea is to create a good marketing campaign using the You Tube as a good platform to gain potential customers’ attention. The main focus is on the electric Tesla cars that can bring a big change to the betterment of our environment.
My Audience
My audience are all the people in the globe with the ability to purchase a Tesla car. The main focus however is on the You Tube users with great interest on vehicles.
Time of Launch
The best time to launch this campaign is at the start of December when people are busy celebrating with friends and families. During this period, people normally buy presents to each other and this would be a good time to intervene with this incredible product.
Main Goals
The main goal of this campaign is to get the most subscribers on my You Tube channel which will make the campaign successful. This is because the more subscribers a channel has, the more views that one gets hence the sales for this product will rise.
How the Campaign Will Engage the Audience?
The campaign will attract more audience through advertising the channel in other social media platforms hence more visitors will be attracted. Marketing campaign is important to the brand involved and is a great tool to make sales incredibly (Kapferer, 2012).
