Content Analysis



How does the public currently perceive your company?

The company that I am choosing to highlight for this post is Macy’s. Macy’s reputation is as an upscale department store that has a famous Thanksgiving Parade every year.

What messages are being conveyed?

Going to the Macy’s website (www.macys.com) the message the user receives is that there is an upcoming Saturday sale and free shipping on orders over $99.

Are these in line with what is being sent from the company itself?

As a frequent Macy’s shopper, I can confirm that the website message is consistent with the email and print advertising they have recently sent out.

Do you think the PR & marketing is effective? Why or why not?

I know that Macy’s marketing is effective on me, and judging that their sales are up as of the second quarter, I am not the only one (Macys).

Macy’s is really good about sending loyal cardholders special coupons on a regular basis. The coupons in addition to the sales prices make for a much more affordable trip than their regular prices do.

  2. Efficiency of checkout can be measured by timing your transaction either online or in the actual store.
