Consumer
products
sold
by
brand
name
companies
have
been
facing
increasing
challenges
throughout
the
recession
as
well
as
the
increase
in
online
shopping.
Brand
loyalty
in
three
categories
(food,
beverage,
and
household
goods)
has
decreased
for
three
years
(2013
American
Pantry
Study).
The
amount
of
consumers
willing
to
purchase
their
traditional
brands,
regardless
of
whether
the
brand
is
on
sale
or
not,
has
decreased
from
33
percent
in
2010
to
29
percent
in
2012.
One
of
the
reasons
this
is
occurring
is
competition
from
consumer
products
private
label
choices.
The
2013
American
Pantry
Study
found
that
88
percent
of
consumers
who
have
become
purchasers
of
private
label
products
will
not
return
to
their
previous
national
brand
purchases
even
once
the
economy
has
recovered.
How
will
this
trend
positively
affect
the
overall
consumer
products
industry?
How
will
this

Overview
Social
media
is
changing
the
way
businesses
communicate
with
customers
and
prospects
and
how
they
promote
products
and
services.
Effectively
using
social
media
as
a
marketing
channel
is
a
crucial
component
of
any
strategic
marketing
plan.
This
event
consists
of
a
presentation
given
at
the
NLC.
Eligibility
Each
chapter
may
submit
one
(1)
entries
created
by
an
individual
or
team
of
two
(2)
or
three
(3)
members
from
active
local
chapters,
on
record
in
the
national
center
as
having
paid
dues
by
March
1
of
the
current
school
year.
No
more
than
one
(1)
team
member
may
have
competed
in
this
event
at
a
prior
NLC.
2015 Topic
Your
adviser
wants
to
increase
FBLA
membership
by
10
percent
over
last
years
number.
As
the
Recruitment
Committee
Chair,
your
task
is
to
develop
a
comprehensive
communications
plan.
Due
to
your
limited
budget,
a
critical
element
of
your
plan
will
involve
social
media.
Develop
a
social
media
marketing
campaign
for
your
back-to-school
recruitment
event.
Because
students
decide
within
the
first
two
weeks
of
the
school
year
which
student
organizations
they
will
join,
this
event
is
a
critical
recruitment
tool
and
is
highly
visible
to
both
your
chapter
members
and
the
school
community.
You
are
competing
against
a
number
of
diverse
student
organizations,
so
your
campaign
needs
to
have
a
strong
call-to-action.
Use
at
least
three
(3)
social
media
platforms
(e.g.,
Facebook,
Twitter,
Pinterest,
Instagram,
Tumblr,
etc.)
and
utilize
a
creative
mix
of
video,
photos,
and
copywriting
text
to
promote
the
unique
benefits
of
FBLA
to
your
target
audience.
The
content
can
be
originally
produced
or
leverage
existing
materials,
while
still
adhering
to
copyright
law.
Incorporate
a
mix
of
owned,
earned,
and
paid
media
(note:
if
social
advertisements
are
part
of
your
marketing
strategy,
it
is
not
necessary
to
set
them
to
be
live).
All
information
used
may
represent
your
local
chapter
or
be
based
solely
off
of
a
fictitious
student
organization.
