Executive Summary
ArtCo originated as a local Rexburg business serving the surrounding thecommunity and providing many jobs for people in the area. After ArtCo was bought
out by Taylor Corp., ArtCo lost touch with the community. The main goal for this
campaign is to reestablish ArtCo as a community provider for all printing, paper and
shipping needs.
This campaign will help reestablish ArtCo as a community member by reintroducing
them to local businesses and students attending BYU-Idaho. This will be
accomplished through an Internet revamp. The ArtCo website will be updated andmade current. Their social media outlets will be used to their full potential
encouraging community interaction and feedback. Traditional media will also be
used to help promote the companys new and improved goals to help serve
the community.

Situation Analysis
ArtCo has become a vehicle for other printing companies, filling and shipping their orders all
over the western half of the United States. For many years, Artco has been focused on theircorporate responsibilities.
Now, Artco is a business that not many local people know about. Artco wants to become a
household name within the community of Rexburg. It has great credentials, and shows their
ability by printing for big businesses across the country.
Strengths:Artco is a large facility with state-of-the-art equipment. It is capable ofproviding a wide array of printing jobs at affordable costs, excellent quality in the work that it
does, and complete the work in an extremely fast and efficient manner. It is also capable ofproviding many jobs for locals in Rexburg as well as BYU-Idaho students.
Weaknesses:It currently doesnt have any attention from the community of Rexburg. Ithas worked with several big businesses nationwide, but have lacked focusing on its local
community. The members of the local community that remember Artco before it was bought
out by Taylor Corp. have bitter memories from the transition. To them, Artco no longer has the
identity before they were bought out.
Opportunities:Artco has the ability to recreate its image. Instead of the hiding behind itscorporate parent company, it has the opportunity to come forward and rejoin the community.Because it has the history, it needs to inform local businesses and store owners about
the services it provides.
Threats:Other printing services in Rexburg such as: Alphagraphics, University Printingservices, Quick Shop N Copy and other businesses are competition and threats to business.

Goals and Objectives
Our intention is to raise awareness and educate local businesses on the services
that Artco provides. By improving existing social media platforms and creating
content that improves their overall media presence, local businesses will
comprehend what an asset Artco is to the community.
Artco already has a Facebook page but it hasnt been updated in years, nor was
it used in the most effective way. By the end of the campaign and as a result of
our efforts, we hope to see approximately300 new Facebook followers.
We also plan on raising the awareness and opinion of local businesses and BYU-
Idaho students. We will first survey both groups, then implement our plan and by
the end of the semester we hope to see an increase in brand recognition and
awareness of 30 percent for both local businesses and students.

Target Audience
Artco has a large audience throughout the United States. But locally their presence
is unknown. Our goal is to raise awareness within Madison County to let them
know Artco is around and
doing what they love.
Artco wants to do business with local businesses to get their name out there. They
want the community and local businesses to see they are here to help them with
all their printing needs.
The primary audience is then the local business owners.
Our secondary audience is the BYU-Idaho students as they make up so much of
the community.
The tertiary audience is community members. They can utilize the retail store for all
of their printing needs.

Positioning Statement
Although Artco is a member of a giant corporate family, they are a local business
that has a rich history in Rexburg. Artco is capable of fulfilling large needs at a
lower price than local competitors.

Challenges
Even though Artco has done well in their industry nationwide over the last 15 years,
they have not kept up with their local front end store in Rexburg. They feel like thepublic awareness of their company is very low in Rexburg, but they have no way
of knowing because there has not been any market research locally. It is difficult to
have a successful campaign without knowing where you are when you begin.
Because Artco is part of an intricate group of sister companies, one difficulty they
have is knowing what they can do to brand individually in the Rexburg area. Artco
is just one of the companys many names, and it is difficult to brand a message to
the community without consistency in name, logo, slogan, etc.

Communication Vehicles
Artco already has a website and a Facebook page. We will revamp and use
those channels to help increase their social media presence.
In order to continue to reach local businesses and students effectively we
implemented ads and fliers through personal interaction.
We also provided a future option of advertising in local theaters, such as
Paramount 5 and Fat Cats that will also help get Artcos name out in the
community.
