Create a 5-slide presentation to the leadership team of Washburn Guitars that details the following: 

/in /by

Scenario

The modern Washburn Guitars Company started in 1977 when a small Chicago firm bought the century-old Washburn brand name and a small inventory of guitars, parts, and promotional supplies. At that time, annual company sales of about 2,500 guitars generated revenues of $300,000.

“Our designs are translated by Japan’s most experienced craftsmen, assuring the consistent quality and craftsmanship for which they are known. At that time, the American guitar-making craft was at an all-time low. Guitars made by Japanese firms, such as Ibanez and Yamaha, were in use by an increasing number of professionals.”

“We offer a guitar at every price point for every skill level,” explains Kevin Lello, vice president of marketing at Washburn Guitars. Washburn is one of the most prestigious guitar manufacturers in the world, offering instruments that range from one-of-a-kind, custom-made acoustic and electric guitars and basses to less-expensive, mass-produced guitars.

Lello has responsibility for marketing Washburn’s products and ensuring that the price of each product matches the company’s objectives related to sales, profit, and market share. “We do pay attention to break-even points,” adds Lello. “We need to know exactly how much a guitar costs us, and how much the overhead is for each guitar.”

Instructions

With Lello’s statements in mind, access the Learn: Washburn Guitars Pricing Decisions and Diversity activity in this week’s Learning Activities folder and watch the video describing how Washburn prices its guitars and how it uses the pricing variable as a strategic tool for positioning its various guitars in the marketplace.

Create a 5-slide presentation to the leadership team of Washburn Guitars that details the following:

  • Explain how elastic demand could influence sales. Include an example.
  • Determine how producing signature series guitars may affect demand for the product, as well as brand awareness and brand loyalty.
  • Provide an example of break-even quantity.
  • Recommend guidelines for selecting a diverse team of 5 employees to travel to Japan to meet with guitar craftspeople. Refer to the “Diversity and Inclusion Drive Success for Today’s Leaders” article from the University Library to guide your answer.

Analyze and interpret perceptual elements of visual media communication to identify effective visual messages.

/in /by

Competency

Analyze and interpret perceptual elements of visual media communication to identify effective visual messages.

Scenario

You have been hired by a large law enforcement agency to analyze the images used on advertising billboards in both urban and suburban regions. The billboards visually display a new campaign message to improve neighborhood safety.

During your analysis, you find that the images used on billboards in the urban areas are exactly the same as the images used in the suburban areas. Both images show parents happily talking with law enforcement officers while children run over green lawns having a fun balloon fight. You decide that these images are not sending proper perceptual messages. You decide to create a visual analysis video for the law enforcement agency to share with the administration

For the video visual analysis, you realize you will need to find two new images that are quite different from one another. One image will be used on the urban billboard, and the other image will be used on the suburban billboard. In your video presentation, you will compare and contrast how each image utilizes the following:

  1. Compare and contrast the visual elements of cultural familiarity. Explain why it is important to use culturally familiar visuals that are quite different in the urban and suburban billboard images. Include specific visuals in your visual analysis.
  2. Identify specific visual examples of the following cognitive elements: memories, experiences, and expectation. Compare and contrast how urban and suburban viewers may be affected differently by those specific cognitive visual elements.
  3. Explain the difference between urban and suburban viewers’ emotionally engagement with each of the billboard images.
  4. Identify visual semiotic codes in both images: metonymic, analogical, displaced, and condensed. Discuss the importance of using these codes. Include specific visuals in each part of your visual analysis.

As you outline your ideas for the video, you decide to record your verbal analysis while analyzing the two visuals in less than seven minutes for added clarity.

Prepare and evaluate the use of media visuals to improve persuasive and marketing communication.

Competency

Prepare and evaluate the use of media visuals to improve persuasive and marketing communication.

Scenario

You are a visual communication expert for a company that creates and maintains websites for large businesses and organizations. They called a meeting a few days ago to bring various departments together for a “think tank” session. The goal of this session was to update the images and visual elements on the website of your newest client: a large medical facility’s website. Currently, they are using the same website images across all websites in the following American locations: New York City, Miami, Phoenix, and Denver.

As the meeting progressed, several people posed several situational conversations. You took careful notes during the meeting, and as you review them at home, you decide to create a video to address all the issues discussed.

In less than seven minutes, your video will outline the importance of using cultural familiarity, perspective framing, and emotional appeal in order to visually persuade viewers in all of these different locations. For clarity, you decide to include specific visual images and examples that could replace current website images for each situation. During the video, you plan to include audio explanations to prove your points to the other “think tank” members.

You review the situational conversation notes:

  1. Carol asks: “Why can’t we just use the same images that are already being used for all the different locations? All the images of the medical staff look American enough.”
  2. Daniel states: “Let’s use images of families in all of the images that scroll through the main website page. That will catch everyone’s eye-everyone has a family somewhere.”
  3. Caleb questions: “The pictures we use should all be outdoors and of people having fun. Isn’t that what all patients want to see when they visit the medical facilities website?”
  4. Heather states: “Maybe we should think like the potential patients that might visit this website. What would those patients want to see regarding this facility?”
  5. Samuel asks: “How can we use images to get people to feel like they will get better, or experience a miracle, or receive better treatment here than at some other facility?”
