I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Description of the OrganizationThe Paramount Theatre, located in Aurora, IL, is a luxurious theatre located in
the heart of Aurora. The Paramount offers a variety of events, including Broadway-caliber musicals, comedy acts, concerts, dance productions, children’s programming/theatre, and movies. This theatre has been around since 1931, but they continue to update their offerings to draw in more patrons.
Research Methods UsedI began my project by first meeting with the
Marketing Manager at the Paramount Theatre. She shared that the new target market they would like to pursue is individuals in their twenties. I created a research tool that was distributed to local college students, all who live in the target geographies for the Paramount.Proposed Strategic Plan
Based on the data collected in the survey, I am proposing a strategic plan that can increase the number of individuals in their twenties who visit the Paramount, thus driving up revenue. My proposal includes:
Adding new products to the 2015-16 schedule of events that will attract this target market (individuals in their twenties)
Adding new promotional activities that will increase awareness to the target group of current products
Expanding current promotional strategy to specifically reach individuals in the target group
Offering pricing strategies that will attract the Millennial target market.
Short-Term EffectsThe short term benefit that the Paramount Theatre will see is an increase in sales
of performances and shows currently offered.
Long-Term EffectsThe long-term benefits that the Paramount Theatre will experience include
developing life-long patrons to the Paramount. Once customers have experienced the high-quality products that the Paramount offers at an amazingly low price when compared to other venues in Chicago and the Chicagoland area, they will definitely want to return. These customers will be on the contact list for the Paramount and will receive notices and reminders of upcoming events. As their financial situation increases, these same patrons will likely join the ranks of season ticket holders. As they journey through their life, they will also be able to share experiences at the Paramount with their future family members and children.
Proposed BudgetThe proposed strategy to increase promotion and add new products will not
require a significant increase in budget expenditure as it will involve reallocating the current budget expenditures towards new types of events.

II. INTRODUCTION
A. Description of the business
The Paramount Theater, located in Aurora, Illinois, was recently named one of
the top ten theatres in Chicago by the League of Chicago. The Paramount has been
open and operating since September 3, 1931. While
it originally opened as a movie theatre, it now
continues to provide world-class entertainment that
includes dance, music, Broadway-caliber theatre,
and children’s programming. It serves an annual
audience of 150,000 patrons from over 250 communities. In addition, the Paramount is
also an active community contributor, hosting free community events. Its magnificent
interiors provide a spectacular backdrop for
private functions such as wedding
receptions and corporate galas.
The mission of the Paramount Theatre
can be read on signs throughout the
building, stating:
“It is the mission of the Paramount Theatre to present entertaining, informative and
inspiring world-class performances and theatrical opportunities in a beautiful historic
setting, therefore enhancing the quality of life in the Chicago metropolitan area. The
Paramount boasts a professional staff dedicated to supporting the talent we host as well
as the arts community. We strive to exceed the expectations of our guests with excellent
and courteous service in a total theatre experience.”

B. Description of the community (economic, geographic, demographic, and socioeconomic factors)
The Paramount Theatre is located downtown Aurora, Illinois. According to the
United States Census Bureau (USCB), the city of Aurora, consisting of 55,518.93
square miles, has a population of 12,882,135 in the year of 2013. The population has
grown 4 percent from April of 2010 to July of 2013. This causes a dense population of
approximately 232 persons per square mile.
According to the USCB, approximately 63 percent of this population is made up
of citizens between the ages of 18-65. In 2013, persons under the age of 18 made up
23.5 percent of the population. Aurora is composed of a wide diversity of ethnicities.
According to the USCB survey of 2013, the three most common ethnicities in Aurora
were white, black or African American, and Hispanic or Latino. Approximately
77.7 percent of Aurora citizens were white, 14.7 percent were black or African American
and 16.5 percent were Hispanic or Latino.
Between the years of 2009-2013, the medium household income in Aurora
Illinois was $56,797. During this same time period, the house ownership rate was 67.5
percent.
C. Overview of the business’ current target market
The Paramount Theatre provides products for a variety of target markets.
Because the Paramount offers such a wide variety of shows, the target market differs
depending on the show. The average Paramount subscriber, however, is part of the
Baby Boomers generation (ages approximately 49-69). Geographically, the Paramount
Theatre targets not only Aurora, IL residents, but also those of surrounding suburbs.
Some of the major suburbs include: Naperville, Batavia, Geneva, Oswego, and
Yorkville. The Paramount Theatre is also a popular tourist attraction, and is featured on
4Paramount Theater: Sports & Entertainment Marketing Operations Research Event
both the website and pamphlets made by the Aurora Conventions and Visitors Bureau
(CVB).
III. RESEARCH METHODS USED IN THE STUDY
A. Description and rationale of research methodologies selected to conduct the research study.
To conduct my research, I used both primary and secondary methods. I began
by meeting with and interviewing the Marketing Manager of Paramount Theatre and her
assistant. They shared that the specific target market with whom they would like to
increase business was young adults in their 20s. From the information gained during the
interview, I was able to design and execute a primary research tool, a survey focused
specifically on young adults in their 20s, whom are part of the Millennials generation.
Secondary research methods were used to research the Paramount Theatre, its
surrounding area, and how the marketing mix could most effectively be used to attract
more customers in their 20s.
B. Process used to conduct the selected research methods
To begin my research, I contacted the marketing manager of Paramount Theatre
and set up a meeting date with both her and her assistant, during which I would be able
to interview them in order to learn more about the Paramount Theatre. (If you have your
notes/questions…A copy of my interview questions is attached in the Appendix.) During
the interview I was able to learn that the Paramount wished to pursue young adults in
their 20s. I was also able to learn more of their current marketing strategies and
products offered. These included flyers, emails, posters, and the use of their Facebook
page. Because the Paramount marketing team wants to increase their sales to 20 year
olds, I created a survey directed toward young adults in their 20s. I knew that
conducting this survey at a local community college would allow me to most efficiently
5Paramount Theater: Sports & Entertainment Marketing Operations Research Event
reach the target market. I contacted Business Professors at the local community
college, Waubonsee Community College, and asked them to distribute the survey to
their students. The professors were very willing to help me collect data for my project.
Once I received the survey response, I compiled the data, graphed the information, and
then analyzed it.
Following my primary research methods, I used secondary methods in order to
research more about the Paramount Theatre, its surrounding areas, and how the
marketing mix could best be used to attract those in the Millennial generation. Using the
Paramount’s website, I was able to discover details about its history. I used the United
States Census Bureau (USCB) to research the economic, demographic, geographic,
and socioeconomic factors of Aurora Illinois, the city in which the Paramount Theatre is
located. Based on the information received from the surveys response, I used the
internet to research new products which the Paramount Theater could offer and new
ways in which these products could be promoted.

B. Conclusions based on the findings
10Paramount Theater: Sports & Entertainment Marketing Operations Research Event
Based on the data received from the surveys, the most effective way for the
Paramount Theatre to increase the amount of customers in their 20’s is to offer new
products and utilize new media for marketing to this population. The products which
would be most effective to offer, while also generating a profit, are musicals, concerts,
comedy’s/comedians, and movies. While these products are already offered in some
form, specific versions could be more effective in attracting customers in their 20s. The
majority of survey responders claim to want musicals such as: The Wicked, Grease,
Sound of Music, Lion King, Book of Mormon, and Jersey Boys. It can be concluded that
such musicals are most wanted because they are well known to either recent publicity
or publicity when the Millennials/y generation Y’s were children.
The concerts which survey responders most often wanted were: rock, rap,
alternative, hip hop, and country. Based on this info, I researched artists in these four
categories whom could be booked to play at the Paramount Theatre. The Paramount
has already planned concerts for artists such as country singers Lady Antebellum and
Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, and alternative rock band, Sugar Ray. By marketing
these shows to the millennial generation, the Paramount Theatre can greatly increase
sales and attract more long-term customers. Through research, I found that two of the
most popular hip hop artists are Beyoncé and Pharrell Williams. Offering concerts from
artists such as these two will generate a large amount of new customers.
11Paramount Theater: Sports & Entertainment Marketing Operations Research Event
Many survey responders said they want to see comedians such as Gabriel
Iglesias and Kevin Hart. By offering comedians such as these at a convenient location
such as the Paramount, the Paramount Theatre will attract a large amount of new
Millennials/generation Y customers. Survey responders also reported being interested
in comedians such as Second City, a comedian group, whose shows have previously
been offered by the Paramount Theatre. Another comedy show similar to Second City
and offered by the Paramount Theatre is Spank, a comedy musical. By marketing the
comedy shows currently offered by the Paramount Theatre, the Paramount Theatre will
be able to interest new clients who have previously been in the dark about the offerings
of the theatre.
Many survey responders reported being interested in movies offered at the
Paramount, but did not report having attended Paramount’s Movie Monday events. By
marketing these events towards the Millennials/generation Y the Paramount will be able
to increase attendance at these events while also expanding their client base.
The Paramount Theatre, during our meeting, shared that they wished to increase
sales to Hispanic customers. Because of this, I filter the survey results in order to find
only how the Hispanics students responded. Through this I learned that most wanted
concerts and comedians/comedy shows. By promoting these to the target market, the
Paramount Theatre will be able to increase the amount of Hispanic customers.
From the survey responses, the target market indicated that Facebook, Twitter,
and E-mail, are the most effective way to reach young adults in their 20s. Based on this
information, I planned promotional strategies to use all three forms of media in order to
most effectively reach the target market.
V. PROPOSED STRATEGIC PLAN
A. Objectives and rationale of the proposed plan12
Paramount Theater: Sports & Entertainment Marketing Operations Research Event
Objective 1: Expand the promotion strategy to reach Millennials in the local area
and increase awareness of current Paramount offerings.
Awareness of existing Paramount events may be the reason that 51% surveyed
had never been to the Paramount and 36% had been on rare occasion. The data from
the open-ended questions from the survey revealed that the target market is interested
in events that are already scheduled at the Paramount. Country music concerts were
one of the top requests, and Lady Antebellum will be performing in August at
RiverEdge. RiverEdge is the outdoor concert venue for the Paramount. Sugar Ray will
be performing in July, meeting the request for alternative rock concerts by the target
market. Defending the Caveman, An Evening with David Sedaris, Menopause The
Musical, and Vicki Lawrence & Mama: A Two Woman Show are all comedy
performances that will be featured this winter, spring, and summer at the Paramount.
Comedy performances, along with concerts were the number one reason the target
market gave for considering going to a Paramount performance. If 87% rarely or has
never visited the Paramount, I believe that increased promotion geared towards this
target market can increase patronage.
Objective 2: Add new products to the 2015-16 Schedule that will attract
Millennial/Generation Y.
While the Paramount does offer an excellent variety of events to meet the
interests and tastes of a wide range of target markets, the survey data revealed some
specific events/talent that could be of greater interest to the target market. Adding new
products does not necessarily have to mean increasing expenditure. These new
products would simply take the place on the list of events where other concerts or
performances would have been scheduled. However, if these are more in demand, the
cost to paramount for booking the artists may be higher.13
Paramount Theater: Sports & Entertainment Marketing Operations Research Event
Objective 3: Create pricing strategy that is conducive to Millennial/Generation Y.
This target market, while interested in attending a variety of events that the
Paramount offers, is also limited financially. Many are part or full-time students and/or
just starting out in their careers. The Paramount Theatre already offers amazing pricing
for their events, typically ranging from $25-75 for events that would cost $150-300 if
seen in Chicago. In addition, the cost to travel into the city and park easily adds an
addition $30-50 to an evening of entertainment. By offering various pricing strategies
that attract this financially limited target market, the Paramount can add value to their
product.
B. Proposed activities and timeline
March 1, 2015: Promotional event on local college campuses
The Paramount will set up booths/tables at local college campuses. (Waubonsee
Community College campuses throughout and around the Aurora area, Aurora
University, National Louis University, etc.) The Paramount will attract students to their
booth by offering a drawing to win tickets and dinner for two to see the upcoming
comedy act, Defending the Caveman, with dinner for two at Two Brothers, a popular
restaurant located downtown Aurora only blocks away from the theatre. Another dining
option to pair with the event tickets would be Ballydoyle, a popular Irish Pub, which is
only a couple blocks away from the Paramount. This prize might also include
complementary valet parking.
This same type of promotional activity may also be used for Les Miserables, an
upcoming Broadway-caliber musical performing March 18 – April 26. There are a variety
of concerts that are slated for the summer for which the Paramount may continue to
offer drawings for dinner and a show for two.
14Paramount Theater: Sports & Entertainment Marketing Operations Research Event
This promotional activity gives the Paramount the opportunity to distribute their
promotional materials/flyers to students, whiling also being available to answer
questions. When students complete the entry form, they are providing their contact
information so that the Paramount can continue to promote their upcoming events via
Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, mail, etc.
2015-16 Season Offering: The Paramount can add some of the top
recommendations based on survey data.
Musical: The most popular musical request was Wicked.
Comedy: The most common comedy requests included Gabriel Iglesias (Fluffy) and
Kevin Hart. George Lopez and Kat Williams were the third and fourth top choices.
Concerts: Rock and metal was the top request for concerts. Alternative Rock was
the second most popular request. Country music and Rap music tied for third place
of the requests. Hip Hop concert was the next most requested. Of the open-ended
responses for concerts, few actual artists were list. Of those listed, none were
repeated numerous times.
March 1, 2015: Encourage college students to take advantage of the group rate
promotions that the Paramount currently offers.
This can be communicated to the target market when students visit the booths at
the college campuses and through the flyers/brochures.
Season 2015-16: Offer a loyalty program.
The Paramount can create a loyalty program that rewards patrons for their
purchases of events, such as comedy acts and concerts. The Broadway series currently
offers a pricing strategy where patrons purchase the first two shows in the series and
receive the last two shows for free. The Paramount can create a similar loyalty program
15Paramount Theater: Sports & Entertainment Marketing Operations Research Event
that will encourage the Millennial patrons to continue to return to the Paramount for
future shows.
Season 2015-16: Discounts at local restaurants before or after the show.
The Paramount can work with local restaurants that attract the millennial
generation, such as Two Brothers and Ballydoyle, and develop a pricing strategy that
offers the patrons a discounted rate at these restaurants. This allows the target market
to enjoy a full evening or day, with entertainment and food. This could also include
shuttle service to and from the Paramount for Two Brothers, since it is located slightly
further away from the venue.
C. Proposed metrics or key performance indicators to measure plan effectiveness
In order to monitor the effectiveness of this new marketing strategy, I propose
that the Paramount Theatre continue their current follow-up survey strategy. The follow-
up survey is sent out customers after they attend an event. It allows the Paramount to
find out not only if customers enjoyed the show, but also how they found out about the
show, and the age of the attendee. Continuing to use the follow up survey will allow
them to track the increase of young adults in their 20s who buy tickets. It will also allow
them to monitor the source from which these customers are receiving information about
the shows. As a result of the new marketing strategy, I believe that the Paramount can
anticipate an increase of 100 tickets sold per event to adults in their 20’s.
VI. PROPOSED BUDGET
The proposed strategy plan will require minimal change to the current budget of
the Paramount Theatre. While some of the promotional activities will require minimal
increases in the budget, the majority of the recommended activities simply involve
modifying the types of events which have already been budgeted for.
16Paramount Theater: Sports & Entertainment Marketing Operations Research Event
Marketing through social media, by using Facebook and Twitter, will require a
budget adjustment by the Paramount Theatre. However, the way in which
advertisements are purchased on both of these sites will allow the Paramount Theatre
to spend only the amount which they feel is appropriate.
Offering the proposed shows to customers will require little to no budget
adjustments by the Paramount Theatre. Because offering the newly proposed shows is
simply a matter of choosing the new show over other options, the shows will already be
budgeted for. The only exception to this is if certain performers or events cost more than
what the Paramount usually offers. In this case, Paramount will either be able to make
the small budget adjustment necessary, or increase the price of tickets.
The newly proposed promotional event of hosting a raffle at local colleges will
require minimal budgeting. The amount which it will cost for Paramount to supply two
tickets, two meals, and valet parking will require minimal increase in the budget
allowances for promotion, with the potential of generating a large amount of future ticket
sales.
