Mind Map

-Carolyn takes the stress away. She makes sure that the items are fit for your
company and are unique.
-Available 24/7/365 days a year. Prides herself on customer service and making
S
sure customers are satisfied.
-She has a very strong personality and will drop anything she is doing to ensure
customer satisfaction.
-A simple advertising strategy with only word-of-mouth has been effective in
gaining new clients, due to her exceptional customer service and ability to get
the job done.
-She is known as “Queen of Trinkets & Trash” and can use this to brand herself.
SWOT -Only one person so she might not be as efficient and quick as possible.
Analysis
W
-Afraid of competitors taking away her business.
-Weary of getting her foot in the door with social media.
-Little presence in the promotions industry since no advertising/marketing is in
place.
-Difficult to stand out from other competitors since she does not reveal her
business.
-She is willing to work around the clock and that means she can take on more
orders and is available to chat no matter what time zone you may be in.
-Her assistants could potentially run the social media accounts or she could hire
O
more workers. Potential growth for her company.
-Brand her section of the company and make it stand out from the rest of
Pulse220. It will be clearer to new customers who she is and what she does.
-She has an opportunity to build a better public image through social media
and public relations.
-Take advantage of her close relationship with clients to expand her business by
using word-of-mouth strategy.
-Simple online product catalogs that you can log on, click the picture of the
mugs, fill in how many you want and click order.
-This is an easier process than calling a number and trying to describe what you
T
want or what your company is about; it takes up more time.
-Competitors are promotional companies with hundreds of employees. She only
has a small number of employees. This could inhibit her from gaining clients
based on the workload they can handle.
-Her competitor’s have huge brand-name clients and are not afraid to show
their past work on their websites. This gives people incentive to want to work
with her competitors over her.

Us
Hey, my name is Shelby and I grew up in Ortonville,
Michigan. In my spare time I love to hang out with my
6-month-old puppy and spend time with my family. My
favorite travel destination would have to be Honduras
Shelby because of the beautiful clear blue water and pure white
sand. I love to listen to music whether I’m in the car, in my
room or cleaning the house, and its mostly country. If I
had to choose one spirit animal I would probably choose
a turtle because sometimes I like to just slow down, be by
myself and take everything in.
I’m from Eaton Rapids, a town about a half hour away from
Michigan State, where I am now a junior studying Media &
Sage Information. I like to create stuff, look at art, and read when
not doing school projects. My spirit animal is undoubtedly
the spider and I appreciate all genres of music. Orange is my
favorite color.
