The Whistler Township Volunteer Fire Department is finding itself with an increasing amount of tasks to do, but fewer people to accomplish those tasks. Nolen Fenwick has been charged with the task of recruiting new volunteer firefighters by setting up a new marketing plan.
I believe Nolan Should focus his marketing plan on gaining new recruits. His promotion objectives should include all three of the basic promotion objectives: informing, persuading, and reminding.1 He should take the three promotion objectives and implement them into the AIDA Model; which includes getting attention, holding interest, arousing desire, and obtaining action. Nolan should especially focus on Informing, also known as getting attention to and holding the interest

He should start a blog because most of the community is unaware of who the firefighters are and what they are doing. A blog will give him the opportunity to share different stories telling the community what the firefighters are doing for them, what they are all about, and why they should join the department.3 The blog would humanize the firefighters to the community by showing a personal side to volunteering.4 Also, he should make a Facebook page to use as publicity for any Sales promotion activities, such as the four annual fund-raising events the fire department hosts. Nolan should set up a Facebook page because it is free promotion.5 Lastly, he should create a booth and set it up at local events. The booth will create opportunities to talk to his target market, and to answer any questions that they may have about volunteering. Most towns will host several community events a year setting you up for multiple opportunities to communicate to the community, receivers, through the booth, source. The booth can also be set up at the fire departments own fund-raising events, keeping the cost of advertising
The purpose of this research project is to explore various ways of promoting and/or marketing Martinsville Fire/EMS and presenting information to educate the public about services provided by the department. The City of Martinsville is located 50 miles south of Roanoke, VA and 50 miles north of Greensboro, NC. The Martinsville Fire/EMS Department covers 11 square miles of land, including a population of 13,821. (U.S. Census Bureau, Virginia Employment Commission, 2016) The department is a combination of career firefighters and volunteers. It was organized in 1891. There are two stations consisting of two engine companies, one ladder company, and two advance life support ambulances. Operations are
Before proceeding with the next section (objectives), it is recommended that you complete the Marketing Plan Worksheet. Ask the academic mentor in the learning community for this if you do not have it.
Ben was the first to organize a volunteer fire department by putting a sign-up column in his newspaper. He created jobs for people who where without a tread, such as street sweeper, someone to clean the street gutters and drains, and a person who delivered mail directly to a residents home. These jobs where paid by a system by which every household would pay a sixpence a week. Walking around the town he saw that people where more interested in drinking then looking out for other citizens’ safety. Again, Ben immediately wrote an article for his newspaper to organize the very first volunteer police force.
The business plans to increase brand awareness and customer loyalty through their grass roots marketing efforts, social media, planned store expansion and new product technologies.
During the brief to his fire team, Candidate Seidel was able to give a well-detailed orientation, but failed to give some other key information. When briefing the 5 W's SNC simply briefed a basic plan on how to accomplish the obstacle and combined that with the tasks and coordinating instructions section of his brief. While briefing his team, SNC paused for a few extended moments while he flipped back and forth through his notes looking for information to pass on to his team showing a lack of confidence in himself to accurately give an order. SNC did not follow the 5-paragraph order format and skipped around while relaying the information from the evaluator's brief. SNC failed to brief the hazards of the obstacle, which resulted in his team
When the Savannah Fire department is paged for a call they all run to get suited up for the call. If they happen to be at a station where a tiller truck (ladder truck) is used, then 2 people have to drive it. There is a person driving in the front of the truck and one in the back basically because the truck is so long. The whole operation requires a great deal of teamwork. If the person in the back is turning left and the one in the front is turning right then they will likely have an accident or at the very least not go the correct direction. Communication is vital in any relationship especially the one I was just referring to. While at school my teacher tells me how and why he wants an assignment done, when I am at work I instruct my officers to go to certain locations and parents in homes tell their children to clean up after themselves.
Edward began showing signs of becoming ill, coughing up blood and spitting up tissues. Many medical doctors had all come to a conclusion that Edward had tuberculosis. Powerful mens who feared the return of Mary began working secretly to get rid of her. Their main goal was to have Jane Grey who was the wife of Guildford be throne after Edward’s death. Northumberland thought that he had a puppet in hand to control but Jane had other intentions up her sleeves. Mary began to realised that her whole plot was being betrayed to place Jane on the throne. Many of Mary’s friends worried for her safety and told her to flee the country but Mary resisted because she knew that if she would have left then all her chances of becoming Queen and returning to England to Catholicism
As a leader, I view the youth of our department as an opportunity to reinforce a dedicated and enthusiastic team. Having thirteen years in the fire service, I understand the value in having a crew with experience. This experience provides instinct and knowledge that develops over time. I understand that, during this transition period, I am likely to have a crew with limited fire experience. Fortunately there are several courses of action that can help to compensate for this lack of experience. Such remedies include consistent training, leading by example, and considering the background of each crew member.
Volunteerism is dropping for emergency responders, and it is affecting how emergency services can be provided to local communities. Looking for reasons why volunteerism is dropping and what options are available for these volunteer companies and communities in order for them to effectively continue protecting the people and property within their communities is very important to me. If local fire companies no longer exist, how are people in the community going to be protected? In addition to fire suppression, firefighters are called on to assist with numerous other situations including auto accidents, downed wires, flooding, emergency medical service, hazmat incidents, and various rescue operations. There is simply not enough money to fund career fire departments for every community. Even in the
Ever since growing up and being around the brave men that visited my school, I looked up to those people. Those men and women demonstrated public safety to my classes. Through the years, I've been influenced with small things like firetruck toys, mock accidents, movies, and even witnessing the best of men coming to save my house from fire. I want to have an experience that nobody can give me other than a fire department, but most importantly, teamwork and compassion for our fellow men and women. I understand there are a plethora of attributes that it takes to be a firefighter. I want to have the best training possible to benefit my community and team. I know that Boone County is an excellent place and I would love the chance to aid this
The promotion objectives need to be clearly stated and measurable. They must be compatible with the objectives of the company, as well as the competitive and marketing strategies. Objectives vary for different products and different situations. There are five general promotional objectives to choose from:
The unemployment rate of the community is already a bit higher than the national average. However, giving volunteer opportunities to the new people coming into the community is a great way to incorporate them into the community while

Firegang - This is a dental marketing services company that has regular work at home openings. Like Firegang (above) they have a variety of different positions which probably change on a regular basis. So you can write the review similarly to how you approach the Firegang one -- just an overview of the company and some of the remote positions and then whatever feedback there might be.
