Build Up Slide Let’s look reaching can producers using geographic segmentation. We know that sugar cane grows in three states: 95% comes from QLD 5% comes from NSW WA grows a small amount in the Ord River. Breaking that down further
Build Up slide In QLD a key geographic area in Far North Queensland. Within FNQ, the Shire of Hinchinbrook is a key area for growers.
Using geography let’s put a face to the cane growing constituency of Australia: 14 000 people live in the shire. Herbert River Express is the local (weekly) paper and that is published by the Townsville daily Bulletin 4KZ Innisfail is the most listened to commercial station and likes to carry news of interest to people in the area. May 2004 Australian-Italian Festival is the biggest event in the area and a good way to reach a lot of locals people in a short time. And for Key stakeholders we know that: Mayor Keith Phillips is a member of Lions. Three of the councilors are long time cane growers (Arthur Bosworth, Sherry Kaurila and Paul Mizzi) Male councilors all have fishing and boating as a common hobby.
