MCCS recognizes and values the efforts of its stakeholders who participate in the marketing programs which provide both leadership and support. Stakeholders are those divisions, organizations, companies and individuals who have a vested interest in supporting MCCS quality of life programs. FY 2014 MCCS Financial Targets for Business $272,660,382 Sales (Net profit of $728,000 reflects MCCS financial position after all expenses including labor, supplies, etc., associated with the MCCS enterprise have been paid. That level is the result of escalating costs associated with business, social program requirements and the negative impact of the market on long-term investment such as the employee retirement fund. Other negative impacts include the costs associated with upgrading aging IT systems and the effects of prolonged deployment, and revisions to taxes charged to MCCS on fuel sales.)

Since its inception, MCCS has been supported by two iterations of strategic planning aimed at integrating and appropriately aligning these vital support services to meet the current and future needs of the unit, individual Marine, and broader Marine Corps family. Although significant accomplishments have been made, the impact of the Global War on Terrorism has strained many programs and support functions that were essentially built on a peace-time model. As a result of program assessments, direct leadership feedback, and hearing from the voices of Marines and family members, there is an institutional effort to transition programs to better meet the operational and family readiness requirements of the Corps. This ‘call for change’ also mandated a shift to the organization’s strategic planning, and resulted in the development of the MCCS Vision and Strategy 2025. This section, which is nested in the broader Marine Corps Vision and Strategy 2025, establishes the foundation of operational concepts and identifies the critical steps to ensure that we are properly organized, trained, equipped, and prepared to meet tomorrow’s challenges today. This vision outlines the values, principles, and core competencies of MCCS, and is built around these seven key components: People, Places, Policies, Performance, Processes, Perceptions and Programs. Emerging Environment, External Threats and Internal Challenges The organization’s future will be shaped by a wide range of influences and trends, such as the changing demographics of the Marine Corps and workforce, resources and economics, science and technology, Defense spending, and other program patterns. The following section outlines several influences and trends to consider in organizational planning. Demographics and Workforce These emerging generations will also comprise the future workforce of the organization. Trends in workforce size and composition, coupled with the pace of technological change and economic globalization, will have implications for future work. Employees will work in more decentralized, special firms; slower labor growth will encourage employers to recruit groups with relatively low labor force participation; greater emphasis will be placed on retraining and lifelong learning and future productivity growth will support higher wages and may affect the wage distribution. The new workforce will place a larger value on training and seek the optimum opportunity to mesh their job with their outlook on life. The workforce will be better educated; more easily rely upon technology; and be highly invested in social/community causes. 9 mccsCP.com/marketingplan MCCS VISION & STR ATEGY 2025 Demographics and Workforce (cont) In terms of workforce composition, the trend is for a shift toward a more balanced distribution by age, sex, and race/ethnicity. The U.S. population and workforce have been growing older as the baby-boom generation ages. This has created a workforce that has become more evenly distributed across age groups. Also, steadily increasing female labor force participation rates, combined with declining male rates, have brought the labor force closer to gender balance. Finally, the inflow of immigrants has been largely responsible for a continuing increase in the racial and ethic diversity of the workforce, with Hispanics and Asians being the fastest growing groups in the workforce. Labor markets will remain tight, particularly in skilled fields. This calls for new creativity in recruiting, benefits, and perks, especially profit sharing. This hyper competitive business environment demands new emphasis on rewarding speed, creativity and innovation within the workforce. Technology The pace of technological change will continue to accelerate, with synergies across technologies and disciplines generating advances in research and development, production processes and the nature of products and services. Technological advances are expected to continue to increase demand for a highly skilled workforce, support higher productivity growth and change the organization of business and the nature of employment relationships. New models of knowledge production, access, distribution and ownership are emerging. But while knowledge is increasingly available, and knowledge production a growing phenomenon, organizations will have to avoid being emerged in too much information. Ever expanding science and technology is creating a knowledge-dependent global society. The number of Internet users in the United States more than doubled between 2000 and 2007, to nearly 231 million, or 69% of the population. In the United States, the “digital divide” seems to be disappearing as Internet access becomes increasingly available to all. In 10 years, most digital devices will combine multimedia communication functions and real-time voice translation, so that conversations originating in one of seven or eight common languages can be heard in any of the others. These technologies will enable organizations to quickly reach all customers and improve the knowledge of employees. The Internet will continue to bring manufacturers closer to remote customers, cutting middlemen out of the distribution chain. Business-to-business marketing on the Internet will continue to introduce operational efficiencies. The technology industry stands to benefit immensely from a more robust relationship with tech-savvy veterans seeking employment. Employers are increasingly recognizing the value of military experience, and the IT industry is no different. Healthcare Greater awareness of the relation of exercise to healthcare costs has started to motivate monetary incentives. The fitness market is maturing, along with U.S. demographics, to provide a broader wellness service to its expanding customer base. Body sculpting has been replaced by the desire for solid healthy exercise practices. Overweight 10 MCCS VISION & STR ATEGY 2025 and obesity rates are on the rise and the healthcare costs for obesity now rival those attributable to smoking. The medical insurance industry, employers, and the insured population are getting involved in the process, with the desire to create healthier, more “well” population of participants. Neither government nor corporations can continue to support an “illness” model versus the new “wellness” model. Although there is a growing awareness of this issue, organizations must act to provide the appropriate types of programs. Emerging trends in fitness focus on several distinct training areas: Family Fitness; Circuit Training; High Intensity Tactical Training (HITT) and Virtual Gyms and Exercise Machines. Childcare Trends in childcare focus on the transition from traditional childcare to early childhood education. This trend to learning centers is partly due to high parent and school expectations; it is also attributable to research that shows that kids are capable of learning early academics and other skills that previously were not taught until later. Increasingly, technology is changing provider/parent connection. Facilities will offer parents video streaming of classroom activities throughout the day. Other providers will regularly take photos of children and send to parents, post daily or weekly blogs or e-newsletters online for parents to view, or even exchange emails or text messages throughout the day. Some providers will create websites where they post monthly menus, weekly day-by-day activities, and even behavioral reports. Retail In the retail sector, organizations must monitor and adapt to improved technology and statistical-control tools, which will shape new management practices. Online stores will continue to expand, listing virtually every product and brand in their industry without significant overhead. Additionally, branded items with good reputations will be even more important for developing repeat business. Leadership Business leaders will increasingly use algorithmic decision-making techniques and sophisticated software to manage their organizations. This style of “scientific management” will move organizations further away from the traditional “gut instinct” management style. Security to Family Issues As national security concerns begin to lose their immediacy, family issues will regain their significance in American society: long-term healthcare, daycare, early childhood education, anti-drug campaigns, and the environment. Demand for childcare, universal health coverage, and other family oriented services will continue to grow, particularly in the United States, where national services have yet to develop. Over the next 20 years, American companies may increasingly follow the example of counterparts in Europe, whose taxes pay for national daycare programs and other social services the United States lacks. Economy, Political Patterns, and Defense Spending Of utmost concern is the impact of the availability of natural resources and the state-of-the-art future economy, and how these forces will further shape the future and success of organizations. The imbalance between supply and demand of oil will continue to pose a threat to supply chains. This imbalance will impact construction and fuel costs as organizations continue to modernize its facilities to meet the changing needs of customers. Economic factors will also continue to impact customer behavior and global markets (e.g. spending habits, construction and energy costs). 11 mccsCP.com/marketingplan MCCS VISION & STR ATEGY 2025 Without any new productivity gains from the Public Sector, taxes will increase to stifling proportions. The public sector will be required to function with increased levels of efficiency and creativity, and the adoption of privatesector approaches are likely to occur more frequently. Political patterns and spending point to a federal government that is focused on initiatives to improve the quality of life for service members and their families. However, the share of the federal budget available for defense spending may decline with the rise in domestic entitlement funding. Reductions in defense spending will require difficult ‘balancing’ decisions. Programs will be required to quantify their value and importance to the military mission or risk curtailment or cancellation. The Department of Defense will also continue to explore efficiency measures through the pursuit of Joint Capabilities that include a focus on consolidating installation support functions. If not carefully developed, such concepts can infringe on Marine Corps Title 10 authorities and potentially decouple bases and stations as the fifth element of the combined arms Marine Air Ground Task Force. Internal Challenges Further threats include a myriad of internal organizational challenges, to include: inertia; confined operating domains; lack of program awareness, standardization, policy enforcement and clearly defined roles and responsibilities; and ability to effectively re-capitalize in infrastructure, equipment, systems and our most valuable asset-our employees. Acknowledging these trends, we must experience an expanded market share focusing on a new generation of Marines and their families. This experience will introduce numerous opportunities, to include: developing a unified vision/strategy, establishing a performance management culture, growing to be an employer of choice and fostering strategic partnerships. * Source: MCCS Vision and Strategy 2025, pgs 7-12 Download: http://www.usmc-mccs.org/aboutmccs/strategicplan.cfm 12 MCCS BUSINESS 2014 MCCS BUSINESS 2014 Family Programs During 2014, MCCS will be in transition with programs moving from a war time footing into a garrison lifestyle. In keeping the faith with Marines, Sailors and family members, the programs and services offered on the installation will reflect the changing needs of the environment. In following the Commandant of the Marine Corps’ Planning Guidance, Camp Pendleton will maintain an aggressive Personal and Professional Development program in support of transitioning Marines and Sailors to the civilian communities once they leave military service. The expansion of the Behavior Health programs will continue to support the warriors and also provide services to the family members as well. There will continue to be strong Family Care/Children, Youth and Teen programs along with Marine Corps Family Team Building services. Business Operations MCCS Camp Pendleton Business Operations is forecasting 2014 to reflect positive sales growth year over year. Pacific Views MCX continues to perform above financial expectations and should maintain this trend given the December 2013 grand opening of the highly anticipated Naval Hospital located adjacently. The Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Camp Pendleton MCX opened its doors in late September 2013 to serve this population. The new MCX offers a full complement of convenience items tailored to the needs of the community it serves. During 2014, the Del Mar Beach Resort (DMBR) and the San Onofre Beach will see much needed improvements completed and available to patrons. Seven new two bedroom/two bath beach cottages will be completed at the DMBR. In addition, the centerpiece of the DMBR, La Casa Del Mar, is to be completed in late spring. The two story La Casa Del Mar Event Center will open its doors offering a fast casual restaurant, interior meeting rooms, exterior patios and an exterior stage/wedding pavilion. San Onofre Recreational Beach will continue to see all beach cottages replaced with the new ‘Early California’ beach cottages. In addition, the SORB RV Campsites will receive a renovation to enlarge the footprint of each RV site and provide much needed amenity enhancements, allowing the newer and much larger RV’s to take advantage of this outstanding camping opportunity. Food offerings will continue to reflect patron wants and demands with new partnerships. New businesses include Panda Express (Mainside), Moe’s Southwest Grill (Mainside), Domino’s Pizza (Pacific Plaza), Schlotzsky’s Deli (San Onofre Center) and Ramone’s Mexican BBQ (62 Area). Subway Restaurants will remodel three of their facilities during FY 2014 and a contract for food service will soon be awarded at the new DMBR Event Center. Lean and mean remains the mantra for Semper Fit. Budget reductions have caused careful examination of all services provided. Working smart is critical in order to continue offering the breadth and depth of services provided. Organizational changes and multi-tasked management is the new normal. Camp Pendleton’s World Famous Mud Run® will realize several changes continuing to grow the event’s popularity. A 5K will be added to the already popular 10K run. Expectations are high that the 2014 event will sell out quickly attracting 32,500 runners and 40,000+ spectators. MCCS continues to be responsive to the community it serves, providing quality programs that are relevant to its consumer. MCCS takes pride in serving the many men and women of the Marine Corps and is proud to do so. 15 mccsCP.com/marketingplan SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS: 2014 SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS: 2014 New social networking platforms are appearing from behind every corner, making it challenging to know where to commit time and resources. It’s important to look ahead at new social networking trends and how organizations can get onboard. 2014 Predictions 1. Investment in Social Media Will Become a Necessit y, Not a Luxur y Businesses are already coming to terms with the need to integrate their social media efforts with their content strategy and are experiencing the impact of social media in terms of lead generation, referral traffic and revenue. As businesses experience these very real and measurable benefits, they will move away from assigning social media tasks to existing employees and more companies will hire social media strategists or full-time social media managers. The benefits of social media are many, but include: Improved social signals (which are a factor in the search ranking algorithm) Company branding Improved brand awareness Word-of-Mouth advertising Increased customer loyalty and trust Improved audience reach and influence Social media is also one of the three pillars of Social Media Optimization (SMO) 2. Google+ Will Become a Major Factor While Facebook continues to lead the pack in terms of number of active monthly users (1.15 billion at last count), Google+ is quickly gaining steam and now has the second highest number of monthly users (343 million). With Google using the platform to collect personal information (think demographics, location, etc.), Google+ should no longer be thought of as ‘just’ another social network. It’s increasingly proving itself to be an integral part of Google’s grand scheme in terms of SMO, social signals and providing a more personalized search experience. This is apparent with the importance of Google Authorship, which could be one of the key components to Google’s search ranking algorithm by the end of 2014. Businesses who are finding themselves spread thin with their social media efforts will increasingly turn to Google+ as the ‘one size fits all’ social network. As Google+ moves towards even greater integration with other aspects of the web – as they’ve already done with their foray into local search – we’ll see its growth skyrocket, both in terms of business and personal use. For information on how to start using Google+, read “How to Breathe Life into Your Google+ Profile.” 3. Image - Centric Networks Will See Huge Success There was a consistent trend in 2013 toward sharing through image and video, rather than text-based content. Visual content will increasingly become a critical piece of any solid content strategy and social networking site Pinterest will continue to shed its reputation as a ‘women’s only’ network and become an integral part of retailers’ marketing strategies. 17 mccsCP.com/marketingplan SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS: 2014 Other image-based social media sites like Slideshare, Tumblr, Path, and Mobli will continue to grow, and businesses will need to become more mindful about the ‘sharability’ factor of photos on their websites and blogs in order to derive significant benefit from their social media content marketing efforts. 4. Witnessing the Rise of Micro -Video It appears that writing 140 characters and taking 3 minute long videos is becoming too tedious for many. Micro video to the rescue! With the emergence of micro video apps like Twitter’s Vine and now Instagram’s video sharing feature, there is even more movement toward real-time video sharing. And not just any videos; with Instagram allowing 3-15 seconds per video, and Vine allowing precisely 6 seconds, users are likely to create and share videos from their smartphones. It will be interesting to see if and how these bite-sized pieces of content will change the playing field when it comes to video-based social media. 5. Foursquare Will Decline Sharply With stale traffic numbers and significant difficulties raising capital in 2013, Foursquare continues to struggle its way towards 2014. With other social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter offering location-based features, it seems like only a matter of time before Foursquare folds and their users are absorbed into other networks. 6. MySpace, Love it or Hate it, Will Grow With their radical makeover and re-branding efforts earlier this year, MySpace appears to be getting its second wind. Offering an iPhone app that allows users to network, receive private messages and listen to their own personalized radio station, MySpace seems to be on track for growth in 2014. MySpace may never compete in the same space as Facebook or Twitter, but it will be interesting to see how the network grows among bands and music-lovers. 7. LinkedIn Will Become a Major Player for B2B Business Growth Still holding steady as the #1 social networking site for professionals with 238 million users, LinkedIn isn’t just sitting on its heels. The launch of its Influencers program, LinkedIn is positioning itself as not only another networking site, but as one of the largest sources of content creation and curation for professionals. As it grows and attracts even more users, the advantages of being “linked in” will become enormous for B2B marketers. For a guide on how to use LinkedIn for Marketing, see my article “The Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn Marketing.” 18 SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS: 2014 Final Thoughts Facebook and Twitter show no signs of imminent decline, but it will be interesting to see how they innovate to keep up with the growth of Google+ as well as image and video-based networks. With social media behemoth Facebook turning 10 in 2014, they’ll continue to focus efforts on mobile, and on offering advertisers opportunities to better target their ads. And while Twitter continues to be the golden child amongst B2B marketers, It will be curious to see if and how the rise of Google+ will impact its market share. While most business owners are aware of the necessity of having a social media strategy, 2014 will be the year where a majority will finally understand the necessity to commit the necessary time and resources to their social media efforts. It will be exciting to see which up-and-coming networks grab a share of the market, and which have already run their course.

Marketing techniques change almost on a daily basis and if you want to stay current when 2014 rolls around, as well as, keep up with your competitors, then it’s out with the old and in with the new in terms of marketing strategies. With marketing refinement in mind, here are five tips to improve your business’ promotional efforts in 2014: 1. Redefine Marketing Diversit y If you only follow one tip when it comes to improving your business’s marketing for the New Year, then make it marketing diversification. What this means is utilizing every channel possible to get your promotional and advertising points across. Make sure you’re content marketing across all platforms. Continue creating valuable content that’s relevant to your brand and your customers, but make sure that content is diverse enough to flow across all media platforms - especially social media. Besides, content marketing and social media are quickly becoming dependent on one another. 2. Aim for a Massive Audience, but Cater to the Individual As stated above, diversity is essential to marketing success, especially considering radio and television marketing is quickly becoming a thing of the past for businesses both large and small. In the event you want to target a massive audience, then online and mobile marketing is the future. But, just because your marketing to the online masses doesn’t mean your message has to be generic in nature. Catering to individual wants, desires and needs it’s what builds trust and ongoing customer relationships. As a result, make your marketing campaign large enough to reach a global audience, but small enough to tailor to niche audiences. 3. Never Underestimate the Power of Images (and Videos) Whether it is photo-heavy blog posts or content marketing with supporting images, content that appeals to the visual senses will simply draw a larger audience. Sites like Pinterest, Instagram and Buzzfeed are proof that pictures are worth a thousand words, which is exactly why your marketing should utilize the visual medium. Likewise, video is a marketing miracle worker, especially when your business’s marketing videos are unique and engaging enough to go viral. But, even if it’s simply to promote your goods and services, introduce your employees, or give product tutorials, video is quickly finding its place in marketing for 2014. 4. New Design for the New Year Marketing design is fast becoming the focal point for company branding, so it’s imperative your business put just as much effort into campaign design as the branding itself. After all, your marketing design is equally as defining as the message your business is trying to get across. Due to that, just remember that the New Year means a new design. 21 mccsCP.com/marketingplan MARKE TING STR ATEGIES 5. As Always, Keep it Brief No matter what form of marketing your business goes with or what avenue your campaigning takes for the New Year, the shorter the better. With attention spans dropping like the ball in Times Square, content that’s short and sweet is more likely to be read from beginning to end. It’s just that simple. By following the tips above, your business will improve its chances of starting 2014 off right with a reinvigorated marketing strategy.

There are over 40 selling locations aboard the base, ranging from small convenience stores and service stations to the Pacific Views Exchange which opened in 2012 offering a complete large scale department store assortment. MCX Camp Pendleton remains in step with the needs of Marines and Sailors stationed aboard base by offering a full line of products and services from a variety of retail operations, all designed to meet the needs of the discerning and informed patron. The revenue from these retail operations are returned to customers by financially supporting numerous MCCS quality of life activities. The overall mission of the Retail Division is to contribute and support these programs for the entire military community. The MCX Value Programs such as “Corps Brands, Corps Value”, the private “1775” label, “Another Corps Value”, “Exchange Select”, Price Match Guarantee” “Our Cost is Your Cost”, “Baby and Me” and “Super Star Students” have proven to be essential nonpaid benefits that patrons have come to rely on for savings, value, and service. From rewards for students who perform well in school, to saving via generic alternatives in the merchandise assortment, MCX has an entire compliment of Value Programs for authorized patrons in every demographic. The full details of the entire range of MCX Value Programs can be viewed online or provided at any of the MCX facilities. One of the most exciting and well-received efforts that MCX has undertaken in recent years is the “I Can Do That” Program. This associate empowering effort allows its core element, front line associates, the ability to resolve the vast majority of customer service issues right on the spot without delay. From price match questions to issues involving product or service quality, associates have been given the latitude to do what it takes to meet the expectations of customers. Problem resolution is a key component in the ultimate success of any business; MCX has taken bold steps towards insuring customer satisfaction in front and center in all operational decisions. MCX is committed to using the Annual Associate Satisfaction and Customer Satisfaction (ASI/CSI) Surveys as key performance measures in determining how well the MCX is meeting the expectations of patrons and associates. In addition to the annual ASI/CSI Surveys, the recently developed “Dress Blue Experience” has been implemented in all MCX operations worldwide with the ultimate goal of providing each command with a “just in time” report card of how they rate against outside retailers. This evaluation metric and benchmark scorecard, which is set solidly against industry performance and delivery standards in customer service, will prove invaluable in the future as the MCX seeks to become “ best in class” when delivering the ultimate shopping experience to each of its customers. The MCX Facility Team experienced new additions in 2013 with new Marine Marts opening at 41 Area (Las Flores) and the MCAS in 22 Area. These stores provide much needed goods and services in remote and or highly secured areas. Marines and Sailors would be relegated to significant time and travel to meet their needs if these two sites were not available. Major equipment and service improvements were completed at two of the largest Fuel Stations aboard the base in 2013, with both the 13 area and 22 area stations receiving new canopies, marquees and lane identification upgrades to better serve our valued patrons. 85 mccsCP.com/marketingplan RE TAIL In the immediate horizon of the ever-changing world of MCX are two exciting initiatives which will enhance the overall shopping experience aboard Camp Pendleton: 1. A top to bottom remodelling project for the Country Store is set to begin in Spring 2014 and will transform the existing facility into a state-of-the-art Hyper-Marine Mart with expanded products and services to meet the needs of Mainside customers. 2. The ground breaking of the new Fuel Station/C-Store/Food Outlet in the 20 Area adjacent to the Pacific Views MCX. This facility will enhance accessibility for fuelling and reduce congestion at the existing station, as well as, provide a state-of-the-art beverage store. With the recently completed efforts, as well as, upcoming initiatives, the future continues to look bright for the MCX and more importantly the patrons served.

Summer is a time when people get complacent about safety. The program is an effort to keep service members safe, combatready and strive to raise awareness of substance abuse, educate Marines and Sailors concerning the danger and consequences of illegal drug use, promote conscientious alcohol use and offer fun, healthy alternatives as another means of enjoyment. The program hosts a variety of unit competitions, giveaways, entertainment events, educational opportunities, barbecues and movie nights promoting unit cohesion. Camp Pendleton units compete to accumulate the most points by attending scheduled sporting events, monthly meetings, competitions and unit training functions. The unit that earns the most points is rewarded with respective unit funds. Thirteen battalions with close to 15,000 active duty Marines and Sailors aboard Camp Pendleton participated. Single Marine Program The mission of the Camp Pendleton SMP is to enhance quality of life for single service members by providing positive and rewarding outlets through recreation, community involvement, and dynamic facilities. SMP was established to provide a forum for Marines to identify quality of life ideas and issues and recommend solutions. Activities and events are as varied as the single Marines the program serves, because it belongs to the Marines. In 2013, SMP offered over 580 events on and off Camp Pendleton. Over 20,000 Marines and Sailors participated in these events, along with 195,000 using the seven recreation centers.
