KENT Nbrlew/ee Emery I—m em VV// Eamem�an venue Menepemen ShoWare Center 625 W James St Kent, WA 98032 Ph 253.856.6999 • • �1 Introduction North America's first LEED® Gold arena, ShoWare Center, located in downtown Kent, is a 6,000 seat multipurpose sports & entertainment venue. Home to the WHL's Seattle Thunderbirds Hockey and MASL's Tacoma Stars, ShoWare Center has opened its doors for a wide variety of concerts, family shows, corporate events, tradeshows and other sporting events. Guests have traveled from all throughout the Puget Sound region since the arena's opening in 2009. In an effort to continue the venue's momentum and increase ShoWare Center in Kent's recognition as the premier destination for sports and entertainment, it is imperative that the facility utilize a variety of paid media to attract new audiences and to make sure the ShoWare Center remains `top-of-mind' in and outside of the Seattle/Tacoma market. This plan will outline how funds will be distributed in year one of receiving the funds, as well as the marketing opportunities we will look to explore in future years. Primary Goal The Primary goal of the ShoWare Center plan is to raise awareness of the ShoWare Center in Kent as the premier facility in the Seattle/Tacoma market; and in doing so, increase the venue's exposure in the region and drive ticket sales for our events. Our secondary goal is to promote overnight stays at one of the many hotel partners in Kent. If we can successfully reach our primary goal by getting more people coming to Kent for an event who are not from the area, we feel confident additional overnight stays will follow. Marketing Objectives • Increase ShoWare Center's venue awareness in Seattle/Tacoma and beyond • Increase web traffic to ShoWareCenter.com by over 30% • Increase paid attendance of guests travelling from outside of Kent Valley • Create additional overnight stays at Kent hotels on event nights • Increase ShoWare Center online presence with digital advertising campaign • Expand grassroots marketing efforts to reach new markets • Enhance brand loyalty with distribution of custom made promotional items NbrtAw/tle Enf•Ka/nm•M em C•mem V—AbMplTN , w Budget Overview FIRST YEAR campaign - $60,000 investment The following breakdown will provide an overview for the how the $60K investment will be distributed in the first year of receiving funds.

Website Redesign = $40,000 The ShoWare Center in Kent website has served its purpose well over the past six years the arena has been opened, but in technological terms, it is outdated and overdue for a redesign to keep pace with other venues in our industry. As we look towards the future, it is imperative that the ShoWare Center's website have a look and feel that is consistent with our brand, and provides the necessary functionality to make it easy on guests visiting the website, whatever sort of device they are using, whether they are looking for general information or to buy tickets. We will send out an RFP for the project, so as to get a variety of proposals to choose from, and intend on selecting a contractor that can not only catch us up with what is out there currently, but has an eye towards the future and what's coming next. Our goal would be that the new site should have as long, if not longer, of a shelf-life as the initial design of ShoWareCenter.com. As the project progresses, we will be sure to place an emphasis on finding creative ways to feature local hotels on our `Where to Stay' page, as part of our ongoing efforts to generate (ernight stays in Kent. B. New Site Advertising = $5,500 In order to maximize the exposure and recognition for the re-design of ShoWareCenter.com, we will allocate a portion of the budget to promote the launch of the new site. The strategy behind advertising the new website is four-fold: increasing exposure and awareness for ShoWareCenter.com, driving traffic to the website to aid with search engine results, minimizing the presence of third-party resale sites, and to increase ticket sales as people visit the site and see our diverse selection of upcoming events. We plan to use a handful of different online advertising platforms to promote and drive traffic to the new site including: Google AdWords, social media advertising, online retargeting ads, and local media websites that make sense for our brand. C. Industry Advertising = $4,750 As part of our first year plan, we will seek to place highly-visible, strategically-timed advertising in Venues Today, Pollstar and other trade publications. The outlets we will consider are well-read amongst agents, promoters and industry executives. In the ads 'hemselves, we will highlight the various benefits unique to ShoWare Center, as we )k to continue to influence nationally-touring events to include Kent in their routing. Nuno.9ee emene nmem en CmNe 9AM Vmw Memgeme ShoWare62598032i • • • • • • • I Digital Advertising = $2,500 To compliment all of our other marketing efforts, our plan would include allocating $2500 towards digital advertising, which would be divided up between promoting the ShoWare Center itself and specifically marketing individual upcoming events. We will seek to incorporate all appropriate social media platforms, online retargeting ads, local media, as well as exploring other online advertising opportunities as they arise. The exact mix of each platform will be determined, and updated, as we progress through the first year. E. Event Marketing = $5,000 In an effort to increase bookings at the ShoWare Center, we would like to entice a few important promoters and agents to book in Kent by offering additional event advertising at no charge to them. No other venue of our size, that we are aware of, currently offers `free advertising' out to booking agents as a sign of good-will to help support the show, so our expectation is that it will be well received and appreciated, as it displays how committed we are to their success. This gesture will be unique to us amongst venues that we compete with, and very well might be the tipping point between a big event going someplace else or coming to Kent. If any of the funds are not used to help book new 'ents, we will use what is leftover to promote already booked shows at ShoWare ,enter, to help increase ticket sales for those events and bring more people to Kent. F. Graphic Design = $750 Given the amount of money that would be invested in our plan, both this year and in the future, we feel retaining the services of a graphic designer who can professionally create all of the necessary artwork, would be money very well spent. As we move forward, it is important that all messaging be clean, eye-catching and cohesive. The worst thing we could do would be to spend this much on marketing, only to have the ads fall short and for them to not leave a positive, lasting impression on our intended audience. G. Grassroots = $1,500 The final portion of our first year plan would be geared towards expanding our grassroots marketing outreach. The budget would be broken out into two components: distributing posters / flyers in Snohomish, King and Pierce Counties, and ordering in bulk ShoWare Center branded promo items or `swag' to be distributed throughout the region at a variety of community based events. We realize not everyone watches TV, listens to the radio spends much time online, so it is important to have those face-to-face interactions .A maintain a strong, favorable presence throughout the community. �..���.M°R Budget Overview FUTURE campaign - $60,000 investment The following breakdown will provide a general overview for how we envision the $60K investment would be allocated next year and in the years to come. Given that the bulk of the budget in the first year would be spent towards redesigning the website, we wanted to provide more info on how those funds would be distributed after the site has been completed. Additional details on how each budget item are outlined below. Category Description Budgeted Expense % Of Overall Budget Combination of out-of-home Outdoor Advertising advertising opportunities to promote $22,500 37.5% venue/ upcoming events Industry Advertising Ads in Venues Today, Pollstar and $6,000 10.0% other trade publications Developing partnerships with local, Print major daily newspapers for future $9,000 15.0% advertising Radio Developing partnerships with key $13,500 22.5% stations for future advertising Digital Advertising Social Media advertising, Online $2,500 4.2% retargeting, SEO Design Graphic Design for all advertising $1,500 2.5% Grassroots Poster distribution, SWC promo $2,250 3.8% materials, Grassroots Outreach Website Maintenance, Improvements, Updates $1,250 2.1% as needed Miscellaneous Internal Branding: $1,500 2.5% Murals, Signage, etc. Total $60,000 WmlEwlCe Em Inman ere CWw Ww VCnm hWn gem& ShoWare Center 625 St 98032 Ph 253.856.6999 • • ,,ampaign Breakdown : Future Years Project: By Category A. Outdoor Advertising = $22,500 Anyone who has lived in Western Washington for any length of time is all too familiar with being stuck in traffic on 1-5, 1-405 or any one of the other many highways in the area. Recently released data also indicates King and Pierce County residents commute approximately 30 minutes to and from work each day. Taking into consideration its high visibility and how much time Washingtonians spend in their cars, outdoor or out-of-home advertising is a noteworthy effective medium for this region at reaching our target audience. Also, we have seen first-hand the power of OOH advertising when we've had budget for it on past events, all of which turned out to be successful. Our out-of-home campaign will focus on two key components: prominent digital and static billboards, and a combination of different transit advertising options. The budget will be split between branding the arena itself and promoting specific upcoming events. B. Industry Advertising = $6,000 _.i order to stay top-of-mind, we will look to place 4-5 highly-visible, strategically-timed ads in Venues Today, Pollstar and other trade publications each year. The outlets we will consider are well-read amongst agents, promoters and industry executives. In the ads themselves, we will highlight the various benefits unique to ShoWare Center, as we look to influence nationally-touring events to include Kent in their routing. C. Print = $9,500 An element of our future year plans would be to seek out and develop partnerships with the two major daily newspapers servicing South King County: Seattle Times and Tacoma News Tribune. As I have established at previous venues, these partnerships would guarantee each publication an agreed upon annual advertising commitment, in exchange for discounted rates, top priority on placement, bonus'ed online exposure, and a trade bank that can be used to advertise throughout the year. By providing them with that guaranteed commitment, it allows us to negotiate and receive a much better return- on-investment, in comparison to occasionally placing individual ads. As part of our pitch to potential events, we will inform them that by booking in Kent, they will be included in local print advertising at no cost to them. Q MrIEW/ee enterte/nment en C ndw Wnwe neeeme • 625 St 98032i • • • • • - ShoWareCenter.com Radio = $13,500 Similar to the print line item, we will look to further relationships with 3-4 key radio stations in the market. Our plan would be to begin by pursuing one of the top local stations from the following categories: Hot AC, Country, Rock and Sports Talk. Just as we would with the newspaper partnerships, we would be leveraging an annual advertising commitment, in exchange for discounted spot rates, additional on-air promotions, bonus'ed streaming ads, integration with station initiatives, and an expectation that our campaigns would get top priority when it comes to air time. We will also, of course, continuously reinforce to agents and promoters all of the various advertising that they can tap into at no-charge by bringing their event to Kent. E. Digital Advertising = $2,500 To compliment all of our other marketing efforts, our plan would include allocating $2500 towards digital advertising, which would be divided up between promoting the ShoWare Center itself and marketing individual upcoming events. We will seek to incorporate all appropriate social media platforms, online retargeting ads, local media, as well as exploring other online advertising opportunities as they arise. The exact mix of each 'atform will be evaluated and updated as we progress through each year's campaign. F. Graphic Design = $1,850 As described above, given the amount of money that would be invested in our plan, we feel retaining the services of a graphic designer who can professionally create all of the necessary artwork, would be money very well spent. As we move forward, it is important that all messaging be clean, eye-catching and cohesive with our brand. G. Grassroots = $2,750 As mentioned previously, a portion of our plan would be geared towards expanding our grassroots marketing outreach. We realize not everyone watches TV, listens to the radio, or spends much time online, so it is important to have those face-to-face interactions and maintain a strong, favorable presence throughout the community. G. Website = $1,250 Self-explanatory, but this category would be used for making any potential updates or improvements to the new website after it has launched. Nbi/tlwltle Ertlerte/emee[e6 • • • 98032i • • • • • • • H. Miscellaneous = $1,400 The final category would be used on expenses designed to enhance the experience of guests while here for an event. The better the time they have while here, the more likely they will return, as well as encouraging others to check out the facility through positive word-of-mouth. The type of projects we will explore under this category would be updating our concourse murals, which people routinely stop and take pictures in front of, digital signage, providing directions and other information to guests, charging stations for phones, and possibly accessible wi-fi down the road. It is our goal to provide the absolute best possible experience from the minute a guests enters, until they leave the parking lot — and we will investigate any and all industry trends to provide guests with a truly first-class memory from their visit to Kent.
