In Response to Task 3
The promotional strategy of the Crystal hotel wellness Centre is represented based on
the preparation of the budget. For the purpose of the promotional activities actually the
amount which is provided by the team is about $12000. The significant strategy in that case
must be adopted by the upper level management for the purpose of enhancing the
productivity of the business (Quattrone, 2016). After opening the Crystal hotel the
management in that case have to adopt the strategies which has been depicted bellow:
 Medium billboard - $2750 for 4 weeks in the strategic location especially within the
center of the city after 7 days of opening.

 Distribution – letter box delivery - $41.80
 Bus Shelter Poster - $2640 for 2 weeks period ending on the third day of opening.
 Two Quarter page Strip - $2490 for 2 weeks, one is 15 days before the opening and
the other one on 7 days of the opening.

The necessary cost have allocated by the management system for the purpose of
promoting the Crystal hotel. The above strategy regarding the preparation of the budget is
actually based on some of the key parameters. The budget regarding the promotional activity
is prepared by acquiring the necessary cost information’s provided in the appendix 3. Due to
the cost constraints as the budget of the company is limited to $12000 and accordingly the
management had to make the significant strategies (Kaplan & Atkinson, 2015).

to enhance the overall effectiveness of the organization. The promotion falls under one of the
marketing mix of the company which is needed to increase the sales, product acceptance,
brand equity, positioning and further to enhance the corporate image of Crystal Hotel
