SECTION I Executive Summary The goal behind this marketing plan is to present many options, that could then be further discussed and honed in on. The marketing plan was created with the idea that there currently exists almost no loyal patron-base, and we would have to completely build the audience every night with marketing. Many of the challenges and opportunities for The Cherry center around the fact that it is a new organization. The intentions are to position The Cherry with already existing channels such as the holidays, and media sources, as this familiarity reduces the risk associated with attending an event produced by an unknown organization. Additionally, I
focused our biggest pushes on creating our own content. This is inexpensive, and is thematic
with The Cherry’s mission. Any big advertising purchases were left for those that would fall under the out of county advertising, and therefore the out of county grant. Though children
may not have been the initially intended audience, they are an incredibly lucrative (and relatively untouched) patron-base, especially around the holidays.
Background Founded in 2015, The Cherry has been cultivating work that is “radically local, radically global, and formally innovative” for its continually growing audience. Since this time they have produced works in some of Ithaca most unique and lesser-known locations, such as Circus
Culture, and Ithaca’s West End. With the funding for their new multi-disciplinary space over half-way raised, and a full 2016-2107 season, The Cherry has fully immersed themselves in Ithaca’s theatre scene.
Situation Analysis According to multiple studies conducted by TCG, in 2014, theater attendance in the U.S. was at an all-time low after peaking in 2012. Though the amount of special events productions,
including holiday productions, have been increasing over the years, the attendance rates in 2014 dropped 7.3% from 2010.
The Cherry’s position in Ithaca as a “new” theater doing different types of work, has attracted many intrigued audience members. Word of mouth appeared to work greatly in their favor for their September 2016 production of Storm Country, selling out performances the second weekend. The Cherry has continually made very intelligent and strategic choices in their season selection, pursuing works that do not have any royalty fees, and often times and venue rental
fees. Though The Snow Queen is also public domain, it is being presented in the Kitchen Theatre, which has far more seats to fill than any production of theirs to date. 495 seats over their 5-show run, to be exact. Additionally, the show takes place when the college students are
4
on winter break, and the residential families are tied up with the holidays. If positioned
properly, The Cherry can leverage the holiday season to incentivize potential audience members to attend. Additionally, since The Snow Queen is a recognized title, at an established
venue, it reduces the risk associated with attending a performance at an organization people may not yet be familiar with.
Core Problem/Opportunity Performing a show in the Kitchen Theatre provides a great opportunity to place The Cherry as
an established theatre organization in Ithaca, but first the large amounts of seats need to be filled.
Goal Attract new and returning audience members to attend The Snow Queen
Objectives 1. Sell 80% of the tickets total by closing
2. Sell 60% of the tickets in pre-show sales
3. 15% of audiences from out-of county
4. 60% of audiences seeing a Cherry show for the first time
5. 40% of audience members under 18
Environmental Analysis Most of The Cherry’s audience members will be local. Ithaca, NY is a very stratified city. The ivy-league college and freshly renovated commons can be deceiving, almost half of Ithaca is below
the poverty line, as is the case with many of its surrounding areas. Other audience members will be drawn from Syracuse, NY, and Rochester, NY.
There are multiple performance events happening around The Snow Queen, however only two productions conflict directly with it. The Burns Sisters are performing at the Hangar Theater on
December 16-17, and Civic Ensemble is doing a devised holiday show from December 10-17. The Burns Sisters will attract a very different audience, so the primary competitor for The Snow
Queen is Civic Ensemble’s show, as they will be targeting very similar, if not the same, people.

All of the charts below reflect the statistics in Ithaca, NY according to the 2014 census. According to the census, 45.5% of people in Ithaca are below the poverty line. This is more than double the rate of the state of New York (15.6%), additionally, the median income is $30,318, which is about half the amount of the state of New York. Both of these statistics would serve as barriers to residents attending theatre. Alternatively, 64.3% of Ithaca’s population has a bachelor’s degree or higher, which is double the rate of New York State. According to TCG, those with higher education are more likely to engage in artistic opportunities.

SECTION II Key Publics
8-12 year olds The 8-12 year old population, also known as “Tweens”, has most of their interests invested in school, friends, and family. Known as “Generation-I’, they are the first generation to take the
internet for granted, that is, they are the first generation to not remember what is was like to not have internet. They are incredibly savvy with technology, and are hyper-aware of
advertising due to the extreme amount of media they’ve been subject to. As a result, it is important to engage and involve them with interactivity, and not talk at them condescendingly. They want to be catered to with a free gift or coupon. Tweens need reassurance, but won’t
respond well to being targeted as children. This age group is beginning to test boundaries of independence. It is best to highlight how the show helps them achieve control. Unlike teens,
they are not yet seeking individuality, this is frightening for them, instead, their lack of developed personal identity makes them more keen to things that are perceived as “cool” by
the masses, as well as those things that take place in a social setting with a group. Over everything, the number one aspect they value is humor. In the end, they want to have fun.
It will be important to find the balance between conveying that The Snow Queen is “family friendly”, but not childish. Many Ithaca youth are involved in the prevalent arts community. Since they do not yet have the ability to attend a show without an adult, these tweens are going to either attend with their family, or an extracurricular group. The challenging thing is that it is very unlikely they will be following The Cherry on any social media, so any content posted on there may not reach them. The first step is to gain this following.
Current Relationship
Some youth in this age group may have attended Snow Queen with their parents, otherwise, they were not a strong audience for any of The Cherry’s previous works
Influentials Parents, friends, coaches, student organization leaders, older siblings, television characters, internet figures
Self-Interests Hanging out with their friends

Bring Scott or actors into classroom for a small presentation
Parents of 8-12 year olds (30-45 year olds) The parents of these children will fall into Generation X, and the Millennial generation.
Between work, children, and the holidays, their time and money are dwindling resources. This is the biggest challenge with this demographic. When marketing to parents , it is best to show
yourself as a partner. You are helping them save money, and making their lives easier. They want an easy solution that will make their lives easier. Parents are wary of brands, but
extremely responsive to word-of-mouth from other parents. Millennials specifically, but young
8
parents in general, comparatively make purchases much more based on price than quality. In
terms of household spending, mothers control 85% of it. More than anything else, they want their kids to be happy. They want to see other kids
having fun, and bring their kids so they can do the same thing. Being a college town, Ithaca has a large focus on education and culture. Many parents engage their children in various activities
that further their growth in these areas. It is also quite likely that if a parent has an 8 year old, they also have a 5 year old. The space must be accessible to children of all ages, and parents
must be made aware of this.

Workshop with Scott, VIP backstage pass meet the cast “Give the gift of theatre”
Parallel it with Frozen Grandparents (~60)
Many of the grandparents of the target market of children will be Baby Boomers, a few may be trailing off into Generation X. People of this age group want to be reminded of their
accomplishments and future, not of their age. At this point, they feel entitled to “live the good life”. Positioning things as a “bucket list concept” is something they respond very well to. Though they do not want to be reminded of their age, they do enjoy it when things are catered to them, and they are directly addressed as grandparents in advertising. Since they are living this good life, and aren’t bound to as many responsibilities as their parenting children, they can be far more spontaneous with their purchases, and “seize the moment”. Contrary to popular belief, Baby Boomers are often very tech savvy and are most responsive to emails , as they
enjoy reading long messages. They also heavily use search engines, and have a presence on social media, specifically Facebook. Much like their children, most of the household spending is
done by women. Not only do grandparents have the time and resources to take their grandchildren to
see The Snow Queen, they also likely are looking for an inexpensive activity that requires minimal physical activity. Additionally, The Snow Queen is a timeless tale that they have likely
grown up with as well.

Arts Community of Tompkins County Tompkins County, and Ithaca specifically have an extremely thriving arts population. Many
people who subscribe to the Hangar, also subscribe to the Kitchen, and also make it out to events like poetry readings and film screenings. They are very willing to see art and spend
money on it, The Cherry just may not quite be on their radar yet.

Out-of-County
All of the audiences described above apply to this category, however, specific measures will need to be taken to attract audiences from out-of-county locations. Primarily, we will have to

Recommendations
1. Disperse Content through Multiple Mediums that Connect back to Social Media
Social media appears to be the hub of all of the information and content, however since people may not have heard of The Cherry, it is likely they don’t yet follow them on social media. As a
result, content clearly displaying links to social media should be placed where people will physically encounter them.

2. Position Snow Queen as a Gift Giving Opportunity
This is the holiday season, a huge incentive behind every action in these few weeks revolves around the holidays, and more accurately, gifts. Positioning The Snow Queen as an early
present in the consumer’s mind will provide them with a cheap, easy present, that will make them feel like they are bettering their child/partner/parent, as well as the community. Using
the slogan “Give the Gift of Theatre” on all related advertising materials will help convey this message. Following up with the perks of the show, including short run-time, inexpensive
tickets, and the fact that it is family friendly, will then further serve to convince the consumer to
14
purchase. Since ticket sales are made online, if might be helpful to consider having a “gift”
option. For perhaps $1-$2 more they could receive a tangible ticket.
3. Obtain Media sponsor/Non-Profit Sponsor/Corporate Sponsor These are three different types of sponsors that all serve different purposes in the areas of
sponsorship. A media sponsor for The Cherry would likely be one of the local newspapers. In exchange for their name being placed on materials for The Cherry, this media sponsor would
give free or reduced advertising rates. A non-profit sponsor functions like a community partner. A non-profit that exists outside of the arts community would be The Cherry’s “sponsor”, meaning they would share their customer base, as well as some other miscellaneous resources. Corporate Sponsors essentially pay to be associated with certain events. They give generally unrestricted donations to an event, in return for publicity.
4. Group Sales This is an event that will highly be attended in groups or family units. The holidays are a time
where people are naturally coming together. The Cherry is a new organization, attending a show feels like less of a risk if you’ve got a friend with you. A large target audience is not yet old enough to attend a show by themselves, nor would they have much of a desire to. Also, there are many different kinds of organizations in Tompkins County and elsewhere that would be highly drawn to an inexpensive, family friendly, performing arts opportunity. Depending on the demographic of the group, this opportunity could be taken even further, offering the family programming, candy canes, coupons to The State Diner, etc. Children’s Group Sales

5. Family Programming
The primary reason children are going to want to attend this show, is because it looks fun and they can enjoy it in a group. The primary reason almost all other audiences want to attend this
show is they want their children to be happy, but also educated. Creating programming specifically for families will bridge the gap between all of these things. Also, families are very prone to posting a lot of pictures. Parents also respond for more strongly to third party recommendations that ads. If we open up the opportunity to take pictures and post them, word will quickly spread. These “Family Days” will take place during the matinée performances on December 17 and 18. The initiatives for this event will begin with giving students Snow Queen “packets”. These packets will consist of fun relevant The Snow Queen games, either an abridged The Snow Queen story, or a link to an online version, vocabulary words, and advertising for these family events.
Following this, Scott could do a workshop with some of the kids or the actors could perform. Ideally, this will happen early enough that we could get a few press releases out of it. This event
could be cross promoted with our “Give the Gift of Theatre” campaign. We could also push this as an event that kids could go to with their grandparents while their parents are gift shopping.
Saturday the 17th is “Family Day”, and Sunday the 18th is “Grandparents Day”, or “Gift Shopping Day”.
