An ! effective marketing strategy Target uses to foster customer loyalty is its rewards card, REDcard. REDcard rewards customers get a five percent discount on ! shopping trips, free shipping, and exclusive offers for specific offers available for ! members only. After implementing the REDcard, Target customers shopped twice as ! often while! spending 50 percent more than usual amounts (Tierney). Not only is the REDcard having positive effects on sales, but REDcard members increased 11.6 ! percent in the past year. Target expects this trend to continue with time (Tierney). ! !

! ! Wellness of a Champion Will Maximize Profit ! ! Wellness of!a Champion Will Increase Revenue in All Target Departments The average ! Target customer spends about $142 each visit (How Much). We estimate that, on average, the conversion rate for a Target shopper is approximately 57% ! (Chart/table From). About 2.5 million people visit Target each day, totally about 912 ! million each ! year (How Many). If 57 percent of the 912 million make a purchase, about 520 million !shoppers purchase something at Target every year. If each of these customers spends about $142 at Target during their visits, that equates to about 72 ! billion in sales, the figure that Target states as their annual sales in 2012 (Target 2012 ! Annual Report). ! ! Last year, Target Pharmacy members increased by 70 percent and created an additional ! $90 million !in sales (Troy). Our goal is a 50 percent increase of enrollees this year, generating !an additional $64 million in sales for Target. Wellness of a Champion agrees Targets goal ! of a 50 percent increase for Pharmacy Rewards members, yet its results will come from non-pharmacy customers as well. ! ! Based on a! survey we conducted, 70 percent of respondents shop at Target, 20 percent are Pharmacy ! Rewards members, and 10 percent purchase prescriptions at Target pharmacy without membership. Ideally, Target wants to convert all non-members to ! members but realistically, we aim to convert 40 percent into Target Pharmacy Rewards ! members. ! ! Wellness of!a Champion Will Inquire Low Costs Multiple factors require consideration when analyzing cost for our Wellness of a ! Champion campaign. Required, annual training programs for existing pharmacy ! technicians! will be provided through health and wellness seminars through NutriPledge. Covering a !variety of health topics, NutriPledges seminar topics include: ! Fabulous fibers for your health ! Functional foods to improve health and wellness ! Nutrition secrets to weight loss and weight management ! Nutrition strategies to prevent from chronic illness ! Simple nutrition solutions to keep your blood glucose under control ! Every technician will choose two out of the five topics offered annually. Employees from ! the same pharmacy must coordinate, ensuring each session is attended by at least one ! technician to gain the widest breadth of knowledge. NutriPledge seminars provide ! pharmacy workers skills to counsel customers regarding health needs. With five ! technicians! at each of the 1500 Target pharmacies across the nation, about 6000 employees !will need training. NutriPledge costs $15 per person for group training sessions, costing Target $90,000 plus travel fees (Nutrition). In total, training pharmacy ! employees !will cost about $100,000 a year. ! !
