Current SituationMissed Opportunities Current Situation The Philadelphia Zoo is the number one leading tourist attraction in Philadelphia, however the website lacks in illustrating the Zoo’s uniqueness and overall appeal. The zoo offers various hands on activities, entertaining and exciting shows and exhibits for kids, yet its website is more informational than fun Current Situation Online The website is not very appealing to kids The Kids zone includes little interaction, and is more reading based. Only includes puzzle pieces and coloring pages to print out Animal pages are heavy on information and is crowed. Overall, the site is not kid friendly. With the heavy paragraphs and crowded pages, the site makes it hard for kids to navigate.

Although there are a few number of videos, 6 in total, 3 of the videos do not operate correctly Can have the zoo contest directly streaming on the website. Although the website was established as a fun website for kids to visit, it is very informational and not so interactive. They can create various types of zoo games for kids to play, and more interactive features with less information.

Brand Challenges Faces competition with other attractions and educational museums/institutions in Philadelphia Number of individuals visit the website infrequently and if they do so attentions are for scheduling, hours, and pricing. Individuals may only visit the zoo once and may feel it is unnecessary to visit it frequently. With limited advertising individuals are unaware of changes, new exhibits, and new additions to the zoo Limited demographics: For a younger, family oriented crowd and younger students Seasonal Operation: Although the zoo is open everyday of the year, except for various holidays, during the off-season (November 1-February 28) there is a significant decrease in the number of individuals visiting the zoo

Brand Background Wawa Food Markets, a privately-held company, was founded in 1803 in New Jersey, and incorporated in 1865 as the Millville Manufacturing Company, a textile company with mills in several states and sales offices across the country. The owner, George Wood, opened a small milk plant in Wawa, PA, in 1903. The milk plant specialized not only in processing but also in the delivery of "doctor certified" milk. The first Wawa Food Market was opened on April 16, 1964 in Folsom, PA. From the beginning, Wawa made a commitment to fresh food. Today Wawa is still owned and operated by the Wood Family, which employs more than 12,000 associates with almost 500 stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Wawa does nothing but deliver the best in the industry, which is why they stand behind all of their products. Wawa offers a large fresh food service selection, including Wawa brands. Each year, Wawa serves more than 300 million customers, sells over 100 million cups of their award-winning coffee, sells more than 24 built-to-order hoagies, and sell more than 92 million quarts of their own line of dairy products, juices, and teas. Wawa also receives 20 million cases of fresh produce in all stores each year. In addition, a handful of the Wawa Food Markets also offer gasoline

Current SituationMissed Opportunities Current Situation Wawa is currently the top convenient store in PA. They are well known for their coffee & deli sandwiches, as well as their own dairy products. Mostly teenagers to young adults are frequent customers of the convenient stores. Wawa is a transient business. Current Situation Online Missing social network icons (FB, Twitter, etc) Overall, site is easy to navigate, but too many pages of written information. There is no specific contact information, only boxes to fill out and sent to an unknown address. Food/beverage prices are not listed. Locating a store is easy, but first step is entering an address, and then the Google map shows up. Design works with their brand for the most part Website allows users to join Wawa and subscribe to email listing Missed Opportunities Can offer locations that include seating. Seems as though the number of locations are limited. Not enough Wawa's in general. People on their Facebook account could not stop saying how they wished they had one near them, mostly in states that Wawa does not exist. Offer users the ability to order and purchase online An active blog/forum/reviews to showcase products Does not offer instant access to their networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter—enabling users to access the sites instantly would increase user traffic online Needs to better illustrate the brands positioning and showcase the brands popularity on the website

Brand Challenges Keeping the place clean with such high traffic, maintaining efficiency to keep up with demand, deterring loiterers. Each business has good products, but competitors have better complementary products. It’s hard for a brand to be consistent across the board. Faces competition with other national convenient stores

Offline/Online Presence Offline 2009-2010 Campaign: Wawa wanted to make people aware of the surcharge most gas stations charge when paying with a credit card, with little disclosure. Wawa guarantees no surcharge, whether cash or credit. Online Youtube Hoagie Fest advertisements(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpiEnzxJBms&NR=1) Google Ad Words On Wawa’s website, an ad for their new Sizzli breakfast sandwiches A contest for everyone to enter to win gift cards to Wawa (http://www.sizzli.com/?gclid=CNHU0ODEmqQCFZZM5QodmDdRGA)

Competitive Analysis 7 Eleven Website is clean in design and easy to navigate Users have the ability to sign-up for deals and offers Homepage includes a share and bookmark link, enable viewers to share via Facebook, Twitter, Google, Email, MSN, Myspace. Digg, Stumbleupon, and Favorites. Allows users to vote on products using a like and dislike button Includes Facebook, Twitter and 7-11 links for likes and dislikes Offers users to purchase lottery, movies, and music cards online Includes an interactive gaming section A search bar offering users the ability to search within the website Subcategories are organized well and include distinguishable subheadings Website does not present prices Dunkin Donuts Overall website is easy to navigate and user-friendly Website portrays brand continuity—correctly portrays the brand and what it stands for Homepage is easy to read, simple, and clean design Users are able to create personal account Enabling them to purchase coffee and merchandise online Includes an Online shop Displays prices and quantities Offers users the option and ability to search and purchase coffee and merchandise at local stores Website offers Dunkin Donuts Card Users are able to access an interactive nutrition board and menu Registering, managing and recharging card, as well as coffee subscription and service Includes card promos Includes a virtual tour “From tree to Cup”, which enable users to watch a show that illustrates the countless steps involved in producing coffee. Does not display Facebook or Twitter links

Possible Fixes Place icons of social networks on first page of site Add specific contact information Should use interactive and innovative tactics to promote site traffic and increase user frequency Include customer reviews and like and dislike buttons to rate products Create a contest: have users create their perfect sandwich and showcase the winner’s sandwich at Wawa location for an allocated time Should illustrate brand positioning and showcase the uniqueness of the brand by promoting their MTO (Made to Order) specialty Offer an MTO pickup app including digital payment. People can place an order while they are on the road and pick up their MTO food and quickly be on their way. Unclaimed MTO’s can be marked as specials if not picked up within a certain time. When a user logs on it can display the local map with an overlay of other people using the app. For example… someone orders a burrito via app and a burrito pops up in the spot they ordered from (not exact spot for privacy purposes). This way, people will be convinced that it’s worthwhile because other people are using it. (i.e.. Social approval) people can “wave” to someone else on the map if they’re in the same area and even “share” the food they just bought. The site can have a recent activity feed. Locating a store in one click, instead of typing out an address Having the Google map be the first thing you see with all the areas marked.
