Targeting the Market As the Nebraska Army National Guard strives to meet the recruiting, retention, and end strength mission every year. This past year our emphasis on recruiting has been in a number of areas that will benefit the RRNCO’s individual mission. One of the many ways to help achieve our mission is to have a market strategy. Through research on demographic areas, knowing our competition, having a focus and a plan, market strategy, and implementing and evaluating that plan, a target market will be easily be identified and mission goals will be obtained. .

The estimated median house is $140,000. The Caucasian population is at 74.9%; Hispanic population is 12.7%; African American population is 6.8%, and less than 5% for other races identified.

Compared to California’s education demographics, San Leandro has a higher percentage of high school graduate, but a lower percentage of higher educational attainment compared to the entire nation (bachelor’s degree or higher). Using Thompson and Hickey’s model for social class in the United States (2005), my family would be considered working class. This is defined as “clerical, pink and blue collar workers with often low job security; common household incomes range from $16,000 to $30,000 [and] high school education” (Thompson et al., 2005). My mother currently works as a part-time waitress and is going to community college to receive an associate’s degree in accounting. My father has been working as a full-time cook at a Chinese restaurant in Oakland Chinatown for about 25 years. His highest level of educational attainment is high school. These racial and social class demographics are important in understanding my social location.

The most hardworking people are usually the least recognized. They are generally the least paid as well. There must be some sort of incentive for them to continually work so hard. The United States Army has been the underdogs of the military branch. The United States Army is probably the hardest working branch of the military, but also the least sought after. To the general public they are not considered to be at the top of the spectrum amongst the other branches of military. The government has helped in creating a bias within the branches of military by making the standards to get into the military so low compared to some of the other branches. The Army should be considered the “People’s Army.”
Currently, the U.S. National Whitewater Center needs to decide on who exactly their target market is and how they are going to reach this market. The current strategy of the target market being ‘everyone’ is not working. The market needs to be identified so strategic marketing efforts can be planned to advertise all the center has to offer to this group.
Many people are concerned about the U.S. military because of how many risks come with joining it. However, the U.S. military also explains the benefits that one could receive. Joining the military is a decision that should not be taken lightly. One must understand all aspects of the military. In order for a voter to be fully informed about joining the US military, one must consider both the risks, like mental illnesses and commitment and benefits, like education, and experience.

Race, income, and education have shifted the demographics of my community, Huntington Park, in the past years from 1990 to 2010. In the 1990’s there was no particular social class dominating my city; the median income was $62,500. In 2010 however, my city was made up of working class individuals whose median income was about $37,651. The departure of whites contributes to urban decay in my community just as Hunter’s observations showed, where low working class came and made up the majority of the population and lived in “extreme poverty and seemingly ever-present violence (Hunter).

Recruiting for the military is best described as consistently thinking ahead while constantly being immersed in the civilian world based on the concept of the 21st Century Soldier Competencies. Like other recruiter locations across the United States, my office is a single storefront surrounded by dilapidated structures and an assortment of fast food restaurants. Within a block of this establishment, it is not uncommon to see a representative sample of the entire state of Washington to include my sole college, Gonzaga University. People from all backgrounds, socioeconomic status, and all walks of life coexisting with one another are located in this area, which contributes to recruiting challenges. Within only a few miles, the terrain changes drastically from an urban center of exchange into a luscious hilly landscape that is valued by many as one of the most picturesque views in the great state of Washington. Throughout the entireness of this paper, I will explain all aspects and dimensions of my recruiting strategy for increasing numbers in Spokane, Washington. By presenting the demographics of my area, followed by my School Entry Vehicle (SEV) in the local schools, I will explain the scope of my operation.
Considering that the military’s logistical structure hasn’t had a major improvement in over 60 years, the idea of streamlining and consolidating systems would be a welcome and much needed change. I currently work in the ammunition field for the U.S. Army and have done so for the past 18 years. The changes that the Marines are beginning to implement will help to free up resources and cut funds that could be used for other projects.
