Marketing Plan Overview

Why a Marketing Plan? Camp Perkins engages in marketing tasks daily; why not develop a plan and purpose for those marketing tasks? Historically, a constituent’s level of satisfaction with an organization and their belief or alignment with the mission is directly tied to their desire to donate to and support an organization. The process of marketing identifies ways to reach our constituents better, serve them better, raise funding to sustain the organization and develop a thriving long-term ministry.

Parts of the Plan SWOT Analysis: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Analysis of other camps in our region Branding….how users perceive Camp Perkins. How we want them to perceive Camp Perkins Ministries….are they congruent? Specific tactics to implement over the next five years like:

Continued…. Brand Strategy by 2012 Integration of Social Networking to increase year round contact and donations Applying for the MJ Murdock Grant Develop an Alumni system Creating a five year maintenance and building plan Fulfilling the Thrivent Charitable Gifting Grant Ways to increase contact and interaction time between camp staff and congregations Zeroing in on those things we do great and re- evaluating those things we just do well

So far… New Website Updated/Color Logo Professionally designed brochures consistent with look of website and logo colors

Exhibits The rest of the marketing plan contains exhibits that are a collection of articles, documents, survey summaries and branding guides to help the full time staff and board members make the most of the marketing plan.

Is the marketing plan fixed? NO! The marketing plan is a living document and it will be modified over time as camp ministry evolves and full time staff identify needs. The marketing plan is a starting point for the next five years of planning. The past five years of marketing ideas now found their way into a written document!

Finance Committee

During the 2009/2010 camp year, the finance committee met four times – twice in person and twice by teleconference. September Meeting Organized Committee with Wayne Brown chair and Colleen Shelton-Davis as Secretary. Members include Pastor Randy Benscoter, Myrl Schroeder, and Paul Petersen. Reviewed several impending large capital expenses October Meeting Developed draft budget for camp for 2010 Began review of financial review committee recommendations Budget adopted by board at November meeting February Meeting Worked on drafts of Gifts and Pledges Manual, Investment Policy and Investment Procedures document Reserve funds policy developed and submitted to board for approval in Feb. meeting Gifts & Pledges Manual submitted to board during April Retreat for approval April Meeting Worked with Executive Director and Terry Reinke on the program funded by the Thrivent grant. Finance Committee

Challenges CPLOM doesn’t raise the annual operating budget through registration fees and rentals. It is dependent upon the generosity of donors to meet annual expenses. To that end CPLOM will be embarking on an Endowment fund drive to allow the camp to offer campers and retreaters modestly priced experiences. The catalyst for this drive will be the implementation of the Thrivent Grant in the next two years. We still have a ways to go with regard to the recommendations of the financial review committee. Getting the above policies in place meets some of the concerns expressed. Finding reasonable yield/risk investments for restricted and endowment funds. Continuity in key staffing positions, e.g. maintenance Blessings Operational expense for 2009 were met and exceeded through, prudent management by our Executive Director, generous donors and a one-time refund. Currently the camp has approximately $300,000 in various restricted reserve accounts and an endowment fund. Our current financial position allows us to continue our vital ministry to youth and adults, providing them with quality experiences in a Christ-centered environment. Finance Committee
