Target Market
Conventionally, Huaxia has been advertising toward the parents of Chinese-speaking families. In order to attract more customers, we are going to advertise toward nonchinese-speaking families, specifically, the students. We want to advertise toward the bigger population of nonchinese-speaking families and also to students since they are easier to appeal to.
Objectives
- Increase customers and students in the Chinese School directly in the math classes and indirectly drawing more students in for the Chinese classes.
- Promote an interest in math and create a positive learning environment to share ideas.
- Establish an advertising system to support Huaxia even after we have finished our advertisement campaign.
Competitors
Guoji Chinese School doesn’t teach anything beyond 6th-grade math. They advertise their math program (Singapore Math) by providing testimonials on Singapore Math and claiming that it is the best international math program, however, we also teach Singapore math. Their website is easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing. Yucai Chinese school similar to Guoji in most aspects, except that their website looks unprofessional and is hard to navigate, though they do advertise towards non-native speakers. Our third competitor, Kumon, is a large company with a wide age range. Their math program has kids learning at their own pace and has official practice packets.

Conclusion
Our ad campaign will work on this target market because parents nowadays are finding every opportunity to get their kids ahead. We have quality classes and teachers, an accessible location, and low prices. All of these are qualities must be advertised as they are convincing factors to register for this school. Most advertising so far has been done by word of mouth in just the Chinese community. In order to expand our customers, our new ad campaign will target American audiences in Hennepin County. Based on our research, we will adjust our ads and change our strategies to be more suitable for a nonchinese audience. We especially want to advertise toward the students rather than the parents by incorporating more interesting topics in our advertisements.
