  KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS • Inbound Marketing • A list serve will be at each of the events urging the participants to sign their name and email for a chance to win prizes; free food, free drinks (if of age) and other things. This list serve will provide our inbound marketing, cause weekly emails can be sent out to all of the customers. • Google AdWords • This will be simple and only touch the areas that the target audience are shown. This will have about 25 keywords, and will run throughout the months prior to the campaign in hopes to generate audience that will participate due to enjoyable previous experiences at the restaurant.
• 9.
  BUDGET • Thebudget will remain low because it will be done by the efforts of the restaurant. • The Google AdWord will only run the month prior to the actual campaign resulting in it estimating around $250.00 • The contests and other things will have a cost, but those would depend on the likings of the owner. I approximate them totaling in about $500-$1000 in total expenses. • Total Maximum Projected Budget $1250.00.
• 10.
  CONCLUSION • Thiscampaign is hugely impacted by participation. With the campus being heavily into social media and showing it is willing to participate with companies they favor the campaign will raise awareness and brand image along with long term profit. It also is something that has not happened close to campus, which will receive an instant interest.
