EOC Week 9: Business Mission Statement


Mission Statement #1

“Message strategy statements tend to be plain, straightforward outlines of benefits and positioning points that 
the advertiser wants to stress.”

This mission statement was simple, crystal clear, and gets it point across without question.  I’m a simple man who wants simple snacking and “Just grab and bite with no cracking or peeling, just simply eat,” makes me want them more than anything now.  “Just simply eat” sounds like it could be a short catchphrase for the product.  The clever word play saying that  it is a “snack with a twist” trails around the fact that the seaweed is wrapped around the deep fried crab legs.

Mission Statement #2

“Today’s marketers are also reexamining their ethical and societal responsibilities. Marketers are being called upon to take greater responsibility for the social and environmental impact of their actions.”

This mission statement touches all aspects every person wants to hear – safety, healthiness, and environmental awareness.  The description of the chip is also a craver – a thicker cut pepperoni pizza flavored chip? Yes please!  Who could resist something that is made of sugar, spice, and everything nice?  The statement also pushes towards the customers it already has – referring not to just their customers, but their loyal customers.  Loyal customers are happy customers, and happy customers generate referrals, and referrals are your best bet at more loyal customers!

Mission Statement #3

”The advertiser must use memorable and attention-getting words in the ad.”
What is more memorable than someone telling you “I guarantee you…Deez Nuts will be on your mind the whole time!” regardless of your sexual orientation, gender, nationality, etc.!  Another positive note in this mission statement is the fact that it points out a couple places you would enjoy Deez Nuts, instead of just telling you how amazing they are.  It’s not just how amazing they are either – it’s delivering to the customers the “ultimate snacking experience.”  I don’t know what that is exactly, but that’s something I want!
