The SWOT Analysis and what it means to The Moorings
The Strengths of the SWOT
Analysis are positive, internal
characteristics
of
the
company. What do The
Moorings do well? The
Moorings have a great
reputation, which has afforded
them customer loyalty and
continuing customer referrals.
The Moorings have a high
brand
positioning,
which
means its customer market
views
their
product
a
luxurious, quality product.
Another advantage of The
Moorings is that the Yacht
Charter industry has such
high barriers of entry.
The Weaknesses represent
internal, negative factors that
affect
the
firm.
One
shortcoming of The Moorings
is that because their brand
positioning is so high, their
price point is out of reach for
the
majority
of
the
marketplace. This means that
they have a very narrow
market to focus on. Another
fault of The Moorings is that
they have am unappealing
website. It is difficult to
navigate as well as ascertain
basic
information.
The
company
also
has
an
antiquated booking process.
The Opportunities of the SWOT
Analysis are external, positive
factors that affect the company.
These are the reasons the
business is likely to prosper. The
Moorings are currently facing an
untapped market, the millennial.
It is critical that The Moorings
shift their focus towards the
millennial as the number of Baby
Boomers are declining and the
millennial will be eventually be
equipped with the buying power.
The
Moorings
have
an
opportunity to become truly live
up to one of their keystone traits,
“Digital by Default’
Threats are like kryptonite…..
The Threats are external, negative
factors that influence the company.
The biggest threat to The Moorings
are its current rivals, those with
high brand positioning as well as
firms positioned slightly lower.
How do we develop strategy from
the SWOT Analysis. Once we have
identified and prioritized your
SWOT results, you can use them
to develop short-term and longterm strategies for your business.
Look at the strengths you
identified, and then come up with
ways to use those strengths to
maximize the opportunities (these
are
strength-opportunity
strategies). Then, look at how
those same strengths can be used
to minimize the threats you
identified (these are strengththreats strategies).
The Five Forces Matrix
WHAT IS IT? The Five Forces
Matrix is a framework used to
analyze a company's position
within an industry and the different
levels of competition it faces.
Essentially, it sets the assumptions
used in creating a strategy.
OUR ANALYSIS:
The biggest
industry constraint faced by The
Moorings is the high threat of
potential substitutes.
However,
due to a low threat of new entrants
into the market place, in addition to
low bargaining power by the
customer, The Moorings sit in a
position to be an industry leader.
Generating awareness coupled
with providing value will be the key
to The Moorings’ success.

How to Reach
The Millennials
Who are the Millennials? This
generation has trumped the many
businesses and industries of late.
With mentalities that have them
looking for the best deals but in
search of the most value, how do
businesses cater to this picky and
unorthodox generation?
But who cares? Why does this
Generation matter so much for your
economic future? Size and Money,
that is why! Being the second
largest generation this clump of 20
to 30 something year olds holds a
good chunk of your future change.
But here is the PROBLEM….
This grouping spans over some of
very influential years in human history,
they have experienced the full
acceptance of computers and the
internet; which in turn has created a
world that is much more reachable
than it was for their parents. They are
the most diverse generation and their
acceptance of out of culture norms is
prevalent. This makes them urge to
travel and experience beyond their
social norms that their parents would
have found to be quite sufficient.
So how do you reach this diverse,
constantly connected lot?
The first step is to define who you are
really trying to reach. This generation
ranges but as any business should know,
understanding who is the best fit for you is
key.
This starts with your target market, The
Moorings have a strong understanding of
their current market. They know who they
can reach and how to reach them, this
same process happens
With this new market. By segmenting
the many divisions of Millennials into two
apex groups and than diverging further
to create personas that are tangible, you
can find that these Millennials are not so
ambiguous as they may hope to be.
Our Targets, segment one: The Affluent;
these millennials have money and they
are projected to be one of the most
affluent generation on record once they
mature into their more established
adulthood. This gives The Moorings and
incredible opportunity; connect now,
grab them while their young and hold
them through out their aging and into
their
retirement.
Focusing on the affluent, there are five
areas of value that determine how they
spend their money; Mobility, Success,
Status,
Belonging and Consumption. The yacht vacation chartering will
cater to these 5 areas through, travel, visual examples of
affluence, community within The Moorings, and experience.
Their focus is value for their cash.
They want to make an investment
rather than an empty expense.
Our Focus is to create this value and
revolve our offerings around the
aspects of experience over cost.
Memories and benefit through times
re-lived will be the key to reaching and
keeping this segment.
Segment two, the Adventurous. This
segment wants a rush and a new
destination with every experience. The
focus for The Moorings will be
experienced sailors and thrill seekers.
The Moorings has a great opportunity
within this segment to show what a true
open water adventure is like.
By positioning The Moorings as an
facilitator of fun, memories and
adventure, this target will learn that they
need not search anywhere else for their
travel and adventure seeking needs.
Each of these specific targets can be
broken down further to create
customer Personas. By creating and
understanding who your customer
persona you are better able to reach
and relate to who it is you are trying to
cater too.
Personas
We outlined four detailed personas that give a deeper understanding of
The Moorings target market. These four individuals were created out of the
potential habits, lifestyles and background of the specific target segments
that The Moorings is trying to move into.

Follow-up
“Check Your Mailbox, John.”
John empties his lungs with a long, deep sigh that, in one swift
moment, illustrates the monotony that the daily grind brings millennial
today. Dropping work files and groceries alike, he opens his mailbox
reluctantly, expecting past-due notices and dollar store coupons.
What John finds is much to the contrary of his
normal mail haul, however. “Have You Ever
Created Your Own Holiday?” The title of the
mailer John held peaked his interest so he
read on. “The Moorings?” John ponders the
brand to himself. Grazing over the remaining
content, John quickly realizes that the
Mooring’s holidays at sea are what’s being
referenced, each unique in destination,
length, amenities, and even aquatic mode of
transport. Leaving him inspired to take
advantage of the discount being offered,
John is urged to visit The Mooring’s website
to learn just how feasible a trip of this sort just
might be.
REACHING THE MILLENNIALS BY MAIL:
The Importance of Mail for the Moorings
The key concept paramount to a successful
marketing campaign seems, on the surface, to be
simple- targeting. Is it though? Finding a way to
reach your distinct target segment can be a complex
– and more importantly, expensive – task for a
company.
By crafting an effective direct mail campaign, The Moorings
can target specific cities where affluent millennials are in
abundance. Focusing on an annual income of $100,000 and
ages 22-37 in the top five cities in millennial affluence, a
mailable market of over 100,000 prospect are available to hit
with a direct mail campaign. The numbers are ONLY
GROWING with each day that passes!
A solid direct mail campaign will feature a discount on a
booking with an expiration within 30-60 days to begin the
booking process and a down a deposit. Driving website traffic
will be the most direct and measurable result, which can
certainly be related to ROI.

“From shaking the hand of your dean, to shaking the hand of your skipper.”
Grad Pack
Using multiple touch points to with the
target market and the influencers within
their circles.
What does this mean? A tactic used by
marketers is to first understand your target,
in the case of The Moorings; The Millennials
– Affluent and Adventurous. And than
understand their multiple opportunities of
touch points and the influencers that they
have when making purchasing decisions.
This specific actions is determining the
“user” from the “buyer”.
Many students graduating from upper level
education fall into our target market and our
persona John Baker is the direct target of
this particular market. What is special
about John is that he is not just a target
that we can touch with marketing
through multiple pieces but is also a user
in a “user, buyer” relationship.
In Johns example, he falls in the category
of Affluent and further segmented into
the “affluent by birth”. This group has
grown in affluence, there parents
worked hard to become wealthy and
these same parents do as much as they
can to make sure that their children
have all the ideals in life.
This gives The Moorings a great
opportunity to reach the “Buyer”. The
buyer for this target is the
are the parents of the future graduates.
By using a combination of direct mail
and email marketing techniques The
Moorings can penetrate this market and
reach the buyers in a way that they can
give a gift.
The idea is to create an opportunity for
the parents of these graduates to be
able to purchase a trip through The
Moorings for their graduate to depart
on as a graduation gift.
The marketing pieces will be customized
to cater to the parents generation, it will
include the messages of value of the gift
and the experience gained through
travel.

The Benefits of Outsourcing
Campus Marketing
An improved focus on core
competencies.
Even
if a company has its own
marketing
department,
a
reliance
on
marketing
outsourcing frees up in-house
personnel
for
certain
responsibilities, so they can
play to their strengths.
Access to an expanded talent
pool. In-house marketing staff
may not always have the skills
needed, especially on larger,
more
complex
projects
requiring
extensive
coordination among various
components of the plan.
Outsourcing to an experienced
marketing team that can
integrate smoothly into the
organization not only brings in
innovative ideas
and added energy, but also the
high-level talent needed to execute
the goals of the marketing
campaign.
An
outside
perspective.
An
overlooked advantage of using
outsourced marketing is that the
team is not of the company’s
culture.
Who should consider marketing
outsourcing?
With its attractive advantages,
marketing outsourcing might be
assumed to be a logical
choice for nearly every
company looking to grow its
business. But certain key
characteristics
of
a
company’s culture are
necessary to fully capitalize
on the benefits, and fully
integrate the efficiencies, of
marketing outsourcing.
Perhaps the most important
characteristic is a culture of
innovation. Staying smart in
today’s volatile business
environment requires access
to resources well-versed in
current practices across all
marketing disciplines. But
focusing on innovation of a
company’s products and
services and its marketing
mission is generally not
manageable. One or the
other suffers, often with
disastrous results.
Those
companies
that
commit to innovation−that
position
themselves
as
technology
or
service
delivery leaders−understand
the importance of prioritizing
that function above all
others. At the same time,
such
firms
are
more
“culturally suited” to take
advantage of the innovative
approach
embodied
by
marketing outsourcing.

Website Enhancements to alleviate John’s booking pain points….
John has pain points about the web site. He has
complained openly about the web site not being
user friendly and cluttered, difficult to read and the
need for excessive scrolling. His first gripe was that
it took too many mouse clicks to book a trip. The
other complaints is that there were a few loops and
delays in the booking process. He was particularly
upset that there was no mobile version of the web
site and that there doesn’t seem to be a mobile app
available from The Moorings. Lastly, he found a
percentages off campaign that didn’t come to
fruition or was ambiguously executed.
