You are an RD running a weight-loss and healthy eating program at a local endocrinologist’s office. This three-month program consists of once-weekly private, one-on-one nutrition counseling sessions with you, as well as once-weekly group meetings where you lead a discussion on a topic relevant to healthy eating and physical activity. It costs $600 to enroll in the three-month program. Currently, you have 20 clients enrolled, all direct referrals from the endocrinologist’s practice. The program is designed to appeal to both men and women, ages 18 and up.

The endocrinologist would like to grow this wellness program and expand it beyond her own client pool. Not only do you have to market the program to attract new clients but also create marketing tools that will keep current clients interested and possibly spur them to re-enroll beyond three months if needed. This takes time, and you are the only RD managing the program, plus counseling clients.

You need to consider your competition. This includes not only other dietitians in your area but weight-loss companies that are well known and cheaper, such as Weight Watchers. One advantage is that your program may be covered by some insurance plans, mostly for cases where clients have diabetes.

Another consideration is that you have little experience with marketing. You do know how powerful marketing can be to help build the practice. You have a limited budget that will not allow for advertising on TV, radio, or in local newspapers. In addition, the endocrinologist does not use or understand social media such as Facebook. She feels the program can grow successfully by word-of-mouth alone and that marketing may not be necessary. You must figure out a way to create buzz about the program to get potential clients in the door within budgetary constraints.

1. What are your challenges in marketing this weight-loss program? What are some things you may be unsure of in this marketing process?

2. Using information from your text about brand image, identify a “brand image” for your weight-loss program. Be creative in coming up with a name for the program, potential slogan, brand logo, and other branding ideas.

3. What marketing tools will you use? Consult your text and the three websites listed at the beginning of this case study. Also use any of your own knowledge on topics such as social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter). List each marketing tool and your rationale for choosing that particular tool. Be sure to include a mix of traditional marketing tools and new ones such as social media. For each tool:

• Explain what the tool is and why you are using it.
• What audience do you plan to target with this tool?
• Draft an example of the actual tool, or an outline of what content will be included in the tool.
• How do you plan to measure the success of this tool

4.outline a timeline for rolling out your marketing plan

5. identify some tools you will use for current clients to keep them interested in the program and returning for more nutrition services as needed.

6. Describe how you will evaluate and measure the success of your program and your return on investment (ROI) for each marketing tool used in order to determine whether they are cost-effective enough to be used again. Brainstorm ideas on your own and consult Step 5 (“Evaluation”) of the Social Marketing for Nutrition and Physical Activity web course.

Problem 3.1: Reliability. Suppose that I have the following three-step system, with the listed reliabilities:

Step 1: .60 Step 2: .90 Step 3: .80

1a) I have to run the system two times in a row, and all steps must work both times. What is its reliability?

1b) Suppose that I have the following two upgrades in mind:

Option A: The system will still work as long as it is reliable at least one of the two times.

Option B: The system must still work both times, but I’ve added a backup to Step 3 that also has reliability of 0.8.

Assume that cost is not a factor: which gives me better reliability?

In light of the COVID - 19 pandemic, I thought it would be interesting and applicable to have a look at companies around you or large corporations and observe how they are handling public relations. Originally, you were supposed to interview a client and do an actual public relations plan for that company. I think it is more relevant to observe what is happening now and how public relations can work at a time like this. I want you to essentially do a critique/review of your chosen company using a similar format that you would have used in your original assignment. There are so many great examples out there of companies that are doing good things for people and the community. This should not be hard but will help you meet the outcomes of this assignment. I posted the story on the great PR that Sunwing airlines has done recently. I read that Dominos is donating pizza to students in residence at Holland College and UPEI. That's a great move on a strong target market for them.

Using the above headings, this report should be 4-5 pages with citations of your sources of information.

I am looking forward to reading your reports!

• Overview of the company
• Their PR goals overall and during the pandemic
• Strategies they have done in the past
• Strategies they are presently using
• Their target audiences
• Their present media outlets used

LP 3. A manufacturer wants to maximize the profit of two products. Product X yields a profit of $ 1.50 per unit, and Product Y yields a profit of $2.00 per unit. Market tests and available resources have indicated the following constraints: The combined production level should not exceed 1200 units per month. The demand for product Y is no more than half the demand for product X. The production level of product X is less than or equal to 600 units plus three times the production level of product Y.

Please provide step by step of how do you solve the constrains. I have been reviewing other posts on the same question, but they do not specify how constraints were solved. I want to learn how to solve it. no just to copy your answer.

Solve using the graphing the intercept with the elimination method. Do not use excel.

Getta Grant is director of development at a medium-sized nonprofit that provides a range of services to adolescents from disadvantaged urban communities. She reports to the executive director. The organization receives some government funding but is also reliant on foundations and individual donors. Getta's responsibilities include staying informed about foundation interests and giving patterns, and working with the organization's three program directors to identify foundations that may be prospects for support of their programs and projects. She drafts letters of inquiry and, where appropriate, meets with foundation officers and writes proposals. Getta has been with the organization for five years and was hired by the previous executive director, who always gave her “excellent” (the highest rating) on her annual performance reviews. The current executive director has been in her job less than a year. She inherited Getta from her predecessor. When she had just arrived, it was already time for Getta's annual evaluation. The new executive director read a couple of proposals that Getta had written, thought they were good, and continued her “excellent” rating without much further thought. Getta seemed pleased to have her high rating continued.

When Getta writes something, it is generally of high quality. But over the past year, the executive director has become unhappy with the amount of work Getta produces and with her inability to meet deadlines. Since her last review, Getta has produced only a handful of letters and two proposals. The executive director gave her positive feedback on that work, which was indeed good, thinking that would motivate her to work harder and faster. But Getta has continued to produce relatively few proposals, and in some cases, they have taken so long that she missed foundation deadlines. She is coming up soon for her second evaluation with the executive director, who is now quite frustrated with her performance.

The executive director met with Getta recently and explained that she is unhappy. She warned Getta that her next performance evaluation might not be so positive this year. Getta seemed shocked. “But you said my proposals are good,” she protested, “and you gave me an ‘excellent’ rating last year!” Since that meeting, Getta has missed several of days of work, calling in sick or saying she was “working at home.” And the executive director has seen almost no additional work.

QUESTIONS:

1. What psychological need(s) might each staff person or volunteer be trying to meet?

2. What new approaches or strategies might the manager consider addressing the problem?
