tactikPAK™...What is it?

An engaging digital tutor, tactikPAK™ is a perfect study-buddy. The series offers bite-size summaries of nine related topics. As chapters cover key principles, word acronyms prompt quick retention. Whimsical, color illustrations make learning fun and interactive quizzes allow you to gauge your comprehension.

It’s a portable crash course. A fun, interactive learning system. Take your digital tutor with you. On your smartphone or tablet. It's your mobile mentor.

Quickly master each subject with a few key principles. Each main point relates to a specific strategy in the form of an acronym. Each letter in the acronym explains that principle in more detail.

tactikPAK™... How to use it?

There are 3 handy ways to use each module.

1. Get an Overview.
Review all key principles and their corresponding acronyms. Then, consider where you want to begin concentrating your efforts. Try to implement all the principles in one integrated plan.

2. Focus on 1 Principle at a Time.
Choose an acronym and master one card at a time.

3. Combine Several Principles.
By pairing principles together, you can actually plan, activate and implement your advertising strategies and decide what specific “tactiks" will create the impact you want.

For example, in the Advertising module, once you know your target, you can develop your concept (M-E-S-S-A-G-E) and create a tagline (S-L-O-G-A-N) to establish your positioning (in the M-I-N-D of the consumer).

After you've identified your target and created your concept, tagline and position, you are prepared to consider:
• How to P-O-S-E it (the product) in the marketplace.
• How to R-E-A-C-H (which media) your audience.
• How O-F-T-E-N (what amount of frequency) to present the message.
• How to increase S-A-L-E-S (what kind of promotion).
