II) Le projet
A) LE CHOIX DES FICHIERS

* Quels sont les fichiers qui correspondent à la cible déterminée ?

Le choix du fichier doit correspondre à la cible déterminée. Notre cible est la masse entière ; c'est-à-dire l’ensemble des riverains du Grand Nancy :

L’important est d’être connu car les produits que Boulanger propose s’adressent à toute la population nancéenne. Par ailleurs, nous souhaitons aussi nous faire connaître des indépendants (médecin, artisan…) qui peuvent être de futur client de notre rayon informatique (ordinateur, imprimante, photocopieuse…). Notre choix du dossier est simple, nous allons utilisé celui détenu précédemment par Saturne. De plus nous pourrions le compléter par le rachat de fichier provenant de : * Des Mairies du Grand Nancy (avis de construction, comportant nom et adresse) * De notre site Internet avec les inscriptions en ligne et les lieux de livraison lors de commande émise en ligne par le client.
L’objectif est de faire connaitre nos offres, permettre la transition dans l’esprit des gens de Saturne à Boulanger et enfin de présenter notre société qui reste méconnue dans notre région. En effet, nous pourrions utiliser la réputation nationale de l’entreprise pour la promouvoir dans l’Est de la France.

* Comment ont-ils été constitués ?

Dans notre cas le fichier provient d’un rachat de société. Saturne les a créé en achetant des informations auprès de société spécialisées dans la création de BDD ou à négocier auprès d’entreprises prêtent à fournir le nom et l’adresse de futur prospect pour Saturne. La segmentation pour déterminer la BDD, utilise des critères sociaux-démographiques tels que nom, prénom, âge, nombre d’enfant et bien d’autres comme le revenu ou encore l’adresse du foyer. Ceci est maintenant la propriété de Boulanger et nous comptons bien nous en servir pour faire grandir la société. * Ont-ils été utilisés dans mon entreprise ?

Boulanger avant le rachat de Saturne n’avait pas accès à leur fichier prospect. L’entreprise n’a donc jamais utilisé auparavant ces informations.

* Pour quelle opération ?

Notre projet est l’animation marketing du rayon micro-informatique de chez Boulanger. Pour cela, nous souhaitons envoyer le plus rapidement un tract à toutes les riverains dans un rayon kilométrique établi autour du magasin (le Grand Nancy), avec au sein de ce tract une clé USB bloquée, que l’on ne pourra utiliser que si les clients viennent la débloquée chez Boulanger, sur un ordinateur spécifique, et qui fera également office de loterie grâce au logiciel de tirage au sort intégré qui permet de gagner de gros lots. De ce fait, il n’y a pas de perdants car tous les clients qui entrent dans le magasin repartent avec leur clé USB débloquée et donc utilisable à souhait, mais peuvent de plus repartir avec un gros lot ou un bon d’achat grâce au tirage au sort informatique. Le fait de déplacer les clients dans le magasin sera un avantage considérable, car grâce aux autres promotions et au marketing direct déjà en place, les personnes concernées ne peuvent être qu’incitées à consommer et donc ce qui peut être pour Boulanger une opération très rentable malgré son coût assez important.
Le but de ce projet est d’attirer une clientèle inconnue et de fidéliser la clientèle actuelle en les faisant se déplacer dans le magasin, ce qui attire la curiosité et fait donc fait acheter. En effet, une clé USB est un objet important aujourd’hui, et il serait frustrant d’avoir une clé USB qui ne marche pas chez soi, juste car il faut la débloquée chez Boulanger. De ce fait, la clientèle se déplacera dans le magasin pour la majorité d’entre eux, juste pour la clé USB. De plus, le prospect connaître la localisation géographique de notre point de vente.

B) LE CHOIX DE L’OFFRE

* Quelles sont les offres que je peux faire ?

Durant cette période du « jeu de la clé USB » l’affluence dans notre magasin sera plus importante. Il serait habile de mettre en place des offres tels que des promotions sur des produits Boulanger (en continuant à les promouvoir avec le marketing direct déjà mis en place). Ensuite créer une carte de fidélité à points qui durant cette période sont doublés. Le client reviendra donc pour utiliser ses points économisés (fidélisation du client), cela amène une vision long-terme et enfin le dernier avantage de cette carte sera de stimuler les ventes car avec ces points il pourra se permettre d’acheter des produits dont il n’avait pas forcément besoin. Par ailleurs, il faudra continuer à stimuler la curiosité du prospect par la nouvelle notation de produits mis en place :

La sélection B comme Boulanger, met en évidence le produit au meilleur rapport qualité prix. Les autres logos concernent les produits en promotion, nouveauté, low cost et enfin les modèles d’exposition. * Quelles sont les conséquences de ces offres : * sur l’image de ma société ? Ce projet marketing a pour but de mettre en évidence notre volonté à être connu et ainsi de considérer le client (nous lui envoyons, chez lui, un tract contenant une clé USB), notre notoriété ne peut qu’en sortir grandi ; notre enthousiasme, notre dynamisme et notre envie de réussir seront montrer aux yeux de tous. De plus nous prouvons notre professionnalisme lorsque le client achète chez nous par notre excellent SAV. L’image de la société doit être resplendissante après cette opération marketing.

* sur l’organisation interne ? Pour que l’image de la société soit bonne il faut répondre aux attentes du prospect ; c'est-à-dire un magasin accueillant, un facing soigné et des conseillers accueillants. L’organisation interne doit se focaliser sur des services tels que les achats, le marketing, la logistique et le transport et ainsi que l’hygiène et la propreté du magasin. En effet, il faut acheter des produits cohérer pour notre opération d’offres promotionnelles (produit courant qui sont sûr de marcher) livré en temps et en heure pour être présenté dans un magasin propre et accueillant. Enfin, il ne faut oublier l’importance du Directeur du site qui veillera au bon fonctionnement de l’ensemble. * sur la rentabilité à long terme des clients ? Avec ce projet le magasin Boulanger devrait connaître un pic d’affluence et pour qu’à long terme cela porte ces fruits il faut être à la hauteur de l’évènement pour ne pas décevoir. Les perspectives d’avenir sont nombreuses mais la rentabilité à long terme des clients devrait au fur et à mesure augmenter pour rendre le magasin rentable. Il est à nous de décider ce dont nous voulons être : rentable (car il a eu au préalable des actions bien menées) ou déficitaire (échec répétitif et mauvaise gestion). * sur le réseau de vente ? Le réseau de vente connaitra une affluence plus importante. En effet, l’objectif est à terme de fidéliser ces anciens prospects. * Quels sont les différents tests à mettre en place ?

C) LA COMMUNICATION

* Quels sont les axes de la communication ?

Les grands axes de la communication sont au nombre de quatre.
D’abord, il faut présenter aux lecteurs qui nous sommes en précisant le rachat de Saturne par la société Boulanger. On peut se souvenir de la publicité télévisuelle qui met l’accent sur le rachat de Saturn. Cette information peut se présenter sous la forme d’un dessin explicatif, il ne faut pas que cela devienne l’information principale à retenir.
Ensuite, il faut nous présenter. En effet, l’entreprise est méconnue dans l’Est contrairement au Sud de la France. Que pouvons-nous apporter aux futurs clients, pourquoi nous choisir nous et pas un concurrent. Cela doit tenir dans un paragraphe court et qui va à l’essentiel. Nous devons aussi faire comprendre aux anciens clients Saturn qu’ils peuvent continuer à acheter chez nous ; et pour les plus téméraires qu’il faut voir dans ce rachat non pas une fin de Saturn mais une continuité.
Par ailleurs, il faut mettre en avant notre « période clé USB ». Il faut faire découvrir aux prospects le sens de ce jeu et en quoi il peut y gagner quelque chose. Il est nécessaire qu’un grand nombre de personnes participeront à ce jeu, ce qui entrainera un accroissement du nombre de personnes qui viendront par effet de masse (le bouche à oreille n’est pas à négliger) et de mode (un jeu de clé USB qui suit la mode d’un autre jeu déjà connu dans le monde automobile : la clé de voiture qui ouvre une voiture à gagner).
Enfin, le dernier rôle à jouer pour notre communication est de suggérer l’emplacement de notre magasin. En effet, il faut que le prospect sache que nous existons, que nous voulons travailler ensemble mais encore faut-il qu’il nous trouve.
Quelle est la hiérarchie des arguments à développer ?

Nos arguments majeurs sont nos offres, notre professionnalisme (sérieux, qualité de conseils…) et notre SAV. Il ne faut pas qu’un des arguments prenne le dessus sur un des autres. Le spectateur doit comprendre l’ensemble des arguments et ne pas en mettre un haut dessus des autres. En effet, notre sérieux ne doit pas être l’argument dominant face à nos offres, ils sont complémentaires et forme un tout.

* Quelle doit être la forme de la communication ?

Nous souhaitons procéder de la façon suivante : un affichage publicitaire le long des routes du Grand Nancy suivi d’un envoi d’une lettre avec des tracts composé de la fameuse clé USB à l’ensemble des riverains de Nancy et des ces alentours.

D) L’ORGANISATION

* Qui est concerné par cette opération dans mon entreprise ?

Sont concernés le directeur, le responsable achat, marketing et de la mise en rayon.

* Quelle doit être leur intervention ?

Le directeur est le coordinateur de l’ensemble, il est là pour accorder l’entreprise et en supporter les responsabilités. Le responsable achat quant à lui doit acheter les bons produits dans des quantités raisonnables pour par la suite faciliter le travail du responsable marketing qui stimulera la vente des produits. Enfin la personne sur le terrain, c'est-à-dire celui qui fait le facing devra mettre en avant les promotions sous forme de tête de gondole. Il faut que le client voye et comprenne les promotions. * Quand et comment seront-ils informés ?

* Quels prestataires extérieurs vais-je faire travailler ?

* Quel est le planning détaillé de l’opération ?

...Restaurants may be classified or distinguished in many different ways. The primary factors are usually the food itself (e.g. vegetarian, seafood, steak); the cuisine (e.g. Italian, Chinese, Indian, French, Thai) and/or the style of offering (e.g. tapas bar, a sushi train, a tastet restaurant, a buffet restaurant or a yum cha restaurant). Beyond this, restaurants may differentiate themselves on factors including speed (see fast food), formality, location, cost, service, or novelty themes, such as automated restaurants. Restaurants range from inexpensive and informal lunching or dining places catering to people working nearby, with simple food served in simple settings at low prices, to expensive establishments serving refined food and fine wines in a formal setting. In the former case, customers usually wear casual clothing. In the latter case, depending on culture and local traditions, customers might wear semi-casual, semi-formal or formal wear. Typically, customers sit at tables, their orders are taken by a waiter, who brings the food when it is ready. After eating, the customers then pay the bill. For some time the travelling public has been catered for with ship's messes and railway restaurant cars which are, in effect, travelling restaurants. (Many railways, the world over, also cater for the needs of travellers by providing Railway Refreshment Rooms [a form of restaurant] at railway stations.) In recent times there has been a trend to create a number of travelling restaurants...

How Did Copland Develop

...Here he had the opportunity to study under well-known pianists: Isidor Philipp, Paul Vidal, and Nadia Boulanger. Copland choose to study with Boulanger because he had stated that Vidal was too similar to Goldmark. Although Copland had initial reservations about studying under a woman, he soon found that Boulanger’s mind and teaching style to be fascinating in that she was able to appreciate a broad taste of music. Copland stated that she was “not only familiar with all music from Bach to Stravinsky, but is prepared for anything worse in the way of dissonance. A more charming womanly woman never lived.” (Pollack 47). He ended up studying with her for more than 3 years. He also had his first work published by Durands and Sons, which was an important step in his career as this company was the most respected music publisher in france (PBS). The first piece that he had published was called Le chat et la souris or The Cat and the Mouse. During this time he also begins writing other works such as the Passacaglia for piano and one of his first large scale works, the ballet Grohg (Copland House). In the mid 1920s, he returned to the U.S. after his study with Boulanger and his travels through Europe. He had his first major performance when he debuted his orchestral work, Symphony for ORgan and Orchestra. It was a piece that Boulanger had requested him to write and featured Nadia Boulanger as the organist and Walter Damrosch conducting the New York symphony. During this period Copland did...

Thesis

...liquefaction resistance of granular soils and is typically acquired from in situ tests. It can also be estimated by cyclic tests on reconstituted soil samples. According to a summary report by Youd and Idriss (2001), the 1996 NCEER and 1998 NCEER/ NSF Workshops reviewed the modern method of analysing the potential liquefiable layers of soil. They recommended revised criteria for routine evaluation of CRR from various tests such as the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Robertson and Wride (1998) informed that CRR evaluated by CPT may be adequate for low-risk, small-scale projects. But for medium to high-risk projects, there may be more than one method that should be used to determine the CRR. Idriss and Boulanger (2004) commented that the quality of the site characterization is the greatest factor that could affect any liquefaction evaluation. The workshops concluded that it might be much more specific when two or more tests should be used for a more reliable value of CRR. As for the evaluation of CRR from laboratory tests, the chief hindrance is the acquiring of in situ samples. Porcino and Ghionna (2002) said that reconstituted samples that seem to have not veered from its in situ condition is still doubtable, unless sampling techniques such as ground freezing are used. The CSR, on the other hand, is evaluated by four parameters: (1) the depth of soil, (2) the unit weight of soil, (3) pore water pressure, and (4) the maximum horizontal acceleration...

Aaron Copland Essay

...The purpose of her article was to understand Boulanger role in shaping Copland's concepts of national identity in music.2 She also alludes to Copland pointing to Paris as the origins of his nationalism. Fauser wrote, “Copland himself ad repeated in almost all the secondary literature points to Paris as the source of Copland's nationalism, especially his discovery of jazz as an “American” sounding musical vernacular in the defamiliarized surroundings of 1920s France.”3 Here we see that Copland discovery of jazz (an American art form) was found in Paris and not the United States. This will provide this paper with an excellent sources to make the claim that Copeland interpretation of jazz music is not truly authentic to American jazz which makes his attempt to use jazz music as essential element...

Nikkei

...The Nikkei 225 Reconstitution by Romain Boulanger ; 30 Apr 2015 ; HBR business case Because the Nikkei 225 reshuffling is thought to induce inefficient prices, the arbitrageur Taka Haneda believes he could squeeze profit opportunities out of it. Conversely, buy-andhold investors will probably encounter losses. Both will interact to make the nicest move. Following the index reconstitution announcement, economics 101 state that the to-be-added large cap stocks will face an upward price pressure whereas deleted and remaining stocks will suffer from downside risk. However, shareholders of an index do enjoy zero tracking errors and will certainly wait until the effective day to rebalance. Therefore, as a trader at Goldman Sachs, I would play the arbitrage game. I would provide liquidity to index investors by shorting freshly added stocks and buying excluded ones. Via this move, I would hope a forthcoming favorable reversal impact as I expect (perhaps wrongly) prices to return to normality. After all, at the announcement date, prices already reflected the health of the underlying company. Even more so, the Nikkei 225 is a closely monitored index. Bid-ask spreads are getting lower. Prices and volumes effects should then be more pronounced. But this is not a foregone conclusion. Prices might not go back to normal. Indeed, the information theory suggests that index changes convey information about the affected stocks, causing “permanent” price movements. More specifically...

...REPORT ON APPLICATION OF EXPERT SYSTEMS Submitted to: Ms. Alpa Reshamwala Submitted by: Aashumita (351) Aditya shehkhar (371) Anshu Upadhyay (381) Abstract : An expert system is a computer program which captures the knowledge of a human expert on a given problem, and uses this knowledge to solve problems in a fashion similar to the expert. The system can assist the expert during problem-solving, or act in the place of the expert in those situations where the expertise is lacking. Expert systems have been developed in such diverse areas as science, engineering, business, and medicine. In these areas, they have increased the quality, efficiency, and competitive leverage of the organizations employing the technology. Introduction : Expert system technology has captured the interest of professionals in a number of fields in recent years. Systems have been developed in such diverse areas as science, engineering, business, and medicine. Almost every professional and computer society currently has a special interest group for expert systems technology. This widespread interest can be attributed to the ability of the expert system to aid various organizations in solving practical, real-world problems. Expert system is an off spring of artificial intelligence. Al is the study of developing computer Programs...
