Introduction

The Covid-19 has caused a lot of challenges to the development of social and

economic growth. Businesses and services were pressured to find ways to respond to the

rising effects of the pandemic. The delivery services are among the first category

industries that are fully operational. The relevance of delivery services has been

emphasized in today's fast-paced world since they serve as a link between businesses and

customers. Because of the current global health crisis, people are unable to go out and

must rely on digital platforms to obtain their necessities. Those working in the delivery

service industry have been able to adapt to the social distancing practices that are

necessary to prevent the virus from spreading. Businesses with the help of delivery

services have been able to efficiently and safely reach out to their consumer base.

According to consumers, home delivery has provided a solution to the challenges

brought by the Covid-19 pandemic. Home delivery and E-commerce can be a practical

alternative for professionals who are required to work remotely, as well as a variety of

other individuals, such as parents who must balance job and family responsibilities, and

those who are at risk of serious Covid-19 health complications (Unnikrishnan & Figliozzi,

2020).
LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

In the Philippines, delivery services have grown in popularity as a result of online

shopping. The ability to purchase and sell products online has made delivery services

even more vital. Local delivery service providers allowed contactless business operation

during the extended community quarantine period. People turned to delivery services as

more than just a convenience when cities locked down to stem the spread of the virus. It

became a way to keep secure and healthy at home while still having access to basic needs

like food and other necessities.

The main objective of a delivery service is customer satisfaction. Advertising enables

businesses to get a profit by allowing customers to learn about its services.

Communication engagement is a method of advertising. It can be both informative and

persuasive, relying on traditional and new media to persuade customers to purchase

products and services. The goal of a promotional campaign is to develop an advertising

strategy in order for the business to reach the right customers.

Advertising has traditionally been the most common form of communication in

persuading customers to purchase products or services (Hunag et al., 2012). It is the

distribution of product or service information to the broader public with the goal of

convincing people to buy something, do something, or think in a certain way.


LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

A group of researchers identified advertising as the most important component of

marketing, as well as the fundamental necessity for it to be used for establishing

relationships with customers, identifying the target market, and promoting goods and

services (Al-Ababneh et al., 2020).

Creating an advertising campaign requires a central message or topic that can be

communicated across a variety of media. The goal of the campaign must come first,

followed by the creative design. Setting a campaign goal, defining the target market,

media selection, and assessing metrics and information are important aspects to consider

when creating an advertising campaign. The target market can be defined in terms of

demographics, and behavioral characteristics using the strategy. Brand strategy with the

goal of expanding the customer base and creating customer satisfaction is a challenging

process that can only be accomplished with a focused approach to achieve strategic

development. The entire purpose should be founded on clearly defined goals and values

in order to establish the groundwork for communication, operations, and product

innovation (Altay et al., 2021).

Social media platforms play an important role in the distribution of information and

allow individuals to communicate and interact (Constadines, 2014). Advertising

campaigns on social media can be categorized according to many qualities. One of which
LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

is increasing awareness, improving brand image, sales promotion, maintaining the

relationship with the customer, increasing consumer engagement and lowering marketing

expenses (Raudeliuniene et al., 2018). The effectiveness of advertising is defined as the

evaluation of an advertising campaign, which must be determined in terms of the success

of the strategy and objectives that were set for the advertisement (Ansari & Riasi, 2016).

Brand awareness has a significant role in purchasing a product or service and may

have an influence over a customer’s perceived risk evaluation and their level of assurance

about the buying decision. Consumers become aware of a brand through successful

marketing, communication mediums, and strategies. Brand awareness is necessary or

vital to the interaction process. The awareness of brand, associations, and attitudes are

formed as a result of communications. The visual component of market development

comprises brand names, logos, product packaging, and advertising (Bonnici, 2014). A

Business with a higher level of associated brand image and awareness is more likely to be

purchased repeatedly by the customers.

According to research that has been conducted in the Philippines on the demand of

courier services during the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic. The customers' preferred

courier service in Metro Manila and the surrounding regions is Lalamove. Lalamove

dominates the competition against Grab express, Ninja van, Angkas, and Transportify.

Despite the fact that Lalamove is somewhat more expensive than other courier services, it
LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

is the chosen courier of the users, which delivers everything from food, documents, to

groceries (Dones & Young, 2020). The delivery speed is the most important element that

people evaluate when picking a courier, and same-day delivery is the most popular option

among customers. In addition to being a popular courier service in the Philippines,

Lalamove provides both of these alternatives to customers. As a result, Lalamove is the

courier of choice for the majority of users.

Businesses and services utilize strategies to improve their brand image in an

increasingly competitive marketplace. Having successful brand management a business

should understand how the brand strategy is implemented and communicated to

customers, and how customers react to these approaches. When a business has successful

brand awareness, it means that its products and services have a strong brand image in the

marketplace and are simply acceptable (Aboagye & Abdullah, 2013).

As the pandemic affected businesses and services worldwide, it has created a huge

opportunity for the advertising industry. Delivery services benefit from the fact that

they became essential in aiding societal needs. Branding plays a vital role in helping

businesses and services to adapt to the current and future trends of advertising. This study

focuses on the brand awareness of Lihog Ko, a local delivery service that was founded

when the pandemic began. The goal of the researcher was to create an advertising

campaign to raise brand recognition and provide an effective strategy to help the business
LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

establish a brand, reach out to more customers, and become well-known in the

community.

Given the circumstances, the demand for delivery services has increased. Delivery

services become essential in assisting people in adjusting to the new normal. In response

to adversity, a student from Talisay City established Lihog Ko, a delivery service in

which the driver can purchase a customer's needs or fulfill other requests. Together with

her father, they develop a practical way of responding to the situation as a source of their

income.

Lihog Ko is a delivery service that started in June of 2020. Ms. Krishia Hechanova

and her father Mr. Henchel Hechanova, decided to start a delivery service with the aim of

providing quality services accessible to their customers. Lihog Ko is a delivery service

that can handle any type of request or transaction, including groceries, pick-ups, and bill

payments. The delivery service meets a customer's demand by purchasing items such as

food, medicine, and other necessities. Lihog Ko also accepts on-demand pick-up and

delivery, and a variety of additional requests. Its target market is the locals of Talisay

City and Bacolod City. The delivery service fulfills the needs of the customers by

providing good service in a negotiable and convenient manner. Lihog Ko engages with

their customers by using Facebook and Messenger as their marketing platforms. With the

help of social media, the business was able to introduce the service it wanted to offer.
LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

According to Ms. Krishia Hechanova, the delivery service encountered certain challenges

during the pandemic, but they were able to handle and sustain the service’s demands.

Apart from the demand for delivery services in the Philippines. The delivery

services make a significant contribution to the business industry even without a pandemic.

As it has a social significance in every transaction of goods and services. It is important

for a delivery service to have an advertising strategy in order to appropriately promote the

business to its target market, attract new customers, and sustain the goal of the business,

which will benefit the business as well as the community in general.

Statement of the Problem

The researcher has chosen a local delivery business as she wanted to help promote

its quality and the services it offers, as well as increase brand recognition and develop

strategies to address the challenges that the business encounters. This research would

determine strategies to indicate the appropriate media for a promotional campaign to

develop a brand attitude that would impact the buying perceptions of the customers of

Lihog Ko.
LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

This study aims to design a promotional campaign for the service provider “Lihog

Ko,” which is adhering to safety protocols and responsive to the call of these pandemic

times.

Specifically, this study seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the demographic profile of the customers of Lihog Ko?

2. What are the preferences of the customers toward the services provided by

Lihog Ko?

3. What advertising strategy or media would be effective in promoting the

services and persuade customers to purchase from Lihog Ko?

The framework of the Study

Lapido et al., (2013) define DAGMAR communication spectrum theory that an

advertisement must raise awareness, ensure message comprehension and conviction, and

elicit purchasing action in order to achieve its goals. DAGMAR theory focuses on how to

measure the results of an advertising campaign and the levels of comprehension that a

customer must-have for the business.

Advertising Strategy

The framework shows that a promotional campaign will focus on the advertising

objectives that support a consumer through levels of understanding. The DAGMAR

Model was designed to create a communication task, which involves communications

between the business and the customer. The communication task involved brand and

product awareness which play an important role in the goal of this study. It also ensures

customers have comprehension about the product or services and how would they benefit.

With this customers can develop conviction toward the brand. The ultimate goal of

advertising was the customer will be enticed to take action. The objective of an

advertising strategy is to persuade the customer to purchase a product or service. This

would indicate the effectiveness of an advertising strategy. The DAGMAR model does
LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

not only conclude the creation of the communication task. Thus, DAGMAR also

involved defining the Objectives for communications. Incorporating advertising

objectives is significant to create communication tasks. The objectives of these tasks

involve what the advertiser wants to achieve through communication. The significance of

segmentation in defining the target market was emphasized by these objectives. The level

of customer perception was also influenced. A defined time period provides better

measurability in achieving the advertising objectives of the communication tasks in

establishing a brand. The study would depend on the ideas and perceptions of the

customers of Lihog Ko. This would develop a brand attitude toward the customers, which

would support the assessment of a promotional campaign.

Scope and Limitation

Occidental. This study will focus on the promotional campaign of Lihog Ko and will

within Negros Occidental. Lihog Ko delivers quality services to its customers in a

flexible and convenient manner especially considering and fulfilling their needs in times

of crisis.

SWOT Analysis

The delivery service has grown in popularity as a means for businesses to connect and

engage with their customers. The service provider has adapted to the protocols in order to

continue business operations. With the demand for delivery services, Lihog Ko has

become one of the requested services during the pandemic. What distinguishes Lihog ko

is that they provide and handle any type of customer request. They provide services that

are both flexible and convenient, allowing them to meet the needs of their customers. The

service provider utilizes and relies on digital and online platforms, which is relevant in

today's marketing industry. Because delivery service is so popular today, several delivery

service brands have become well-known in the city, indicating that the service provider

faces a lot of competition. Due to more popular brands, the service provider would have

encountered challenges, as well as difficulty in developing a brand . Thus a business or

service can create a brand image and increase brand awareness with the help of

advertising by developing a strategy that can build brand attitude toward the customer.

Customers can communicate and engage well with the brand through advertising and

brand attributes that help promote the service. When a brand can effectively market and

advertise the business or services through a advertising , the brand can gain more

customers, establish brand image, and increase sales, resulting in frequent growth of the

business and services. Lihog Ko exclusively utilizes media platforms; unlike other

popular delivery services, they rely on digital applications which are more accessible to

customers. The service provider primarily uses Facebook as their marketing platform for

their business and services, which limits their ability to attract more customers. Because

the service provider does not use digital apps, customers would benefit more from the

service if it enhanced its advertising strategy.

Recommendations

The following recommendations are made based on the findings of the study.

Facebook Advertising

Facebook is an excellent platform to establish a brand identity. It allows a

business or individual with limited resources to reach their target audience in a fast and

efficient manner (Lekshmi & Rajalakshmi, 2021). Based on the data, the first

recommendation would be to enhance the Facebook presence of Lihog Ko. As the

majority of customers use Facebook as their primary social media platform. It would be

beneficial for Lihog Ko if the service provider would focus on utilizing a strategy to

improve their brand visibility as well as attract new customers. It is recommended that

creating an advertising slogan in Facebook would highlight the uniqueness of Lihog Ko

among competitors.

Because the majority of customers said that online advertisements would

influence their purchasing decisions. Creating poster advertisements in facebook would

entice more customers to purchase from Lihog Ko. Since the service provider was in high

demand in package and food delivery, it is important to highlight these types of services

in the advertisement.
LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

Although Lihog Ko does not have a mobile application, the service may invest in

setting up a good advertising strategy in Facebook in promoting that the service provider

has good quality services and is very convenient which customers may require assistance

in any situation.

Develop A Branding Kit

Branding is an entire process of creating a name and image for a product or

service in the consciousness of customers, through promotional campaigns with

consistent themes (Hasan & Khan, 2011). It is proposed that developing brand qualities

would increase the visibility of Lihog Ko, and would be beneficial for the consumers if

the service provider has a unique brand image. It's important to consider the elements that

contribute to the brand identity of Lihog Ko. Creating visual elements such as, Logo,

color palette, typography, and imagery can help the service provider establish a strong

brand. Because Lihog Ko has been in business since the pandemic and is new to the

industry, also it is a local business. The promotional campaign would recommend brand

attributes needed for advertising that the service provider can afford.

Marketing Strategy

Segmentation

Demographic
The target demographic of the promotional campaign were single female young

adults and students between the ages of 22 and 30, residing in Talisay City and Bacolod

City.

Behavioral
The target market based on behavioral segment of the promotional campaign were

social media users who spend more time on Facebook, mostly order food and package

delivery, and find the service relevant and convenient.

Positioning

According to studies market segmentation aids in the more precise definition of

customer demands and desires. A business can utilize market segmentation to identify

market opportunities. An advertisement can impact the purchasing behavior of the target

market that can be developed using segmentation. In particular, the advertisement will

show the qualities offered by the service provider which customers who were young

adults and students would benefit, mainly in food and package delivery. Also the
LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

advertisement will emphasize the social convenience and uniqueness of the delivery

service among its competitors.

Media Identification

Facebook Advertisements

Create a slogan that would highlight the qualities of the service provider and the

type of service that they are most in demand of. And would develop brand visibility to

attract more customers.

Create poster advertisements that would persuade the viewers to purchase from

the service provider by showing how reliable and convenient the service’s in any

situation, and how customers would benefit from it.

In posting of the advertisements it's also important to be aware of the engagement

of users towards the chosen platform. Based on reports it was said that the best time to

post on Facebook for higher visibility as people are just starting with their work and tend

to go online was on weekdays between 9 a.m. to 12 a.m., while the most consistent of

engagement for posting was in the afternoon between 1 pm and 3 pm.


LA CONSOLACION COLLEGE-SARFIED DEPARTMENT

Branding Kit

Develop a logo design for the service provider that conveys the brand's vision

through visual representation. This would improve the brand identity of the service

provider towards the market. Also it would improve their online presence on their

primary marketing platform which is Facebook.

Design brand qualities that would increase the engagement of people towards the

service. Create a color palette that is appropriate for the service provider. Develop or

research a decent font that will represent the whole brand that connects with the audience

in order to establish a brand attitude.

This would serve as visual guidelines, also a unique value proposition to enhance

the image of the brand toward the market, which would be beneficial for Lihog Ko

because it would make it easier for them to promote their services, as well as increase the

engagement of current and new customers towards the service.
