The Xer-Wise Corporation manufactures and markets high quality home exercise equipment. The firm has just developed a new piece of equipment that top executives believe will be a big seller if promoted correctly. The new product uses a system of adjustable weights that can be arranged in various ways to allow the user to perform exercises that tone all major muscle groups. Additionally, unlike other strength building machines, this equipment also incorporates a recumbent bicycle to provide a complete aerobic workout. The entire piece of equipment is easy to assemble, and when not in use it can be folded into a compact unit that is easy to store. A group of fitness experts have tested the equipment and have provided rave reviews. Company executives believe that this product, called the MuscleMaster, will appeal to busy young adults living in relatively small apartments. Melody Fitt and Tom Trym have been assigned the responsibility of developing a promotion mix for this product. The team of Fitt and Trym is convinced that they can develop a successful promotion mix for this outstanding product. Tom and Melody are considering the extensive use of ads in fitness magazines and a direct mail campaign targeted at people who have bought other products made by Xer-Wise. Since these messages are geared directly to customers, it is clear that Tom and Melody want to implement a strategy.
