Abstract

Victory Fotokopi/ATK store is a store that provides both services such as photocopy, print, laminating, scan and book binding (Jilid) and products such as stationary, office equipment and birthday supplies. The main problem of Victory store is it does not have any uniqueness or value that makes it different from other stores. Therefore, offerings such as volume discount and bundling are used in this project. A digital poster also used to distribute the offerings through WhatsApp Business to the customers. In conducting the project, I used the theories of four main subjects: brand awareness, marketing, promotion and unique selling point. Also, nine sub subjects: brand advertising, logo, blue, red and yellow colors, digital poster, banner, social media marketing, WhatsApp, offering in marketing, volume discount and bundling. Basically, as the main purpose is to maximize the sales, offerings will be the best solution where it could attract the customers to come and shop more often to the Victory store. Keywords: Brand and Brand Awareness, Brand Advertising, Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Offering in Marketing, Volume Discount, Bundling, Digital poster and Unique Selling Point

Abstract

In recent decades, adult animation has garnered its own audience due to its mix of dark humor and slash of reality. One popular series is BoJack Horseman. The show intrigues me because throughout its six seasons, it manages to show how childhood trauma deeply affects BoJack, the main character, as an adult. In this study, we want to analyze the root causes of BoJack’s childhood trauma and the coping mechanisms he did. The findings of this research suggest that there are two main reasons: maltreatment from caretakers and loss of a loved one. Furthermore, there are four forms of maltreatment from his parents: hurtful words, broken marriage, domestic abuse, and gaslighting/guilt tripping. To cope with his trauma, BoJack used four strategies: escapism, dark humor, suicide attempt, and professional help. Through a combination of these four strategies, BoJack was forced to deal with his childhood trauma to become a better person.

Ayola La Lisa is a a 3.5 star hotel which is located at Nginden street no 82. This hotel has 121 rooms, 4 meeting rooms, a pool, a restaurant, a coffee shop, and etc. Moreover, this hotel has more spacious rooms than its rivals and one meeting room that can accommodate up to 200 people. The main problem that La Lisa currenly facing is the potential customers did not give positive feedback while the sales team offered the products. Most importantly, this promotional tool failed to project La Lisa uniqueness. Because of this problem, La lisa could not get the attention from as potential customers mostly from all over Surabaya such as government officers. Therefore, the solution of the problem is to make a promotional video. With this video, the potential customers will be more interested when they see motion pictures highlighting the unique selling points, rarther than just a brochure. The unique selling points that will be highlighthed is to focus on the private meeting room and its other supporting facilities such as the lunch, the rooms, and the ambience. By having this video, the sales and marketing team will be easier to promote the hotel more effectively to its potential customers. Keywords: promotion, branding, unique selling point (USP), promotional video
