Executive Summary
The mission of this market research study is to gain insights on perceptions of
the City of Saginaw in the Great Lakes Bay Region (GLBR). This report has been
prepared for the City of Saginaw Branding Committee by four Students at Northwood
University. 400 surveys were physically administered to citizens in the GLBR; in public
spaces, local businesses and colleges. The questionnaire consists of three key parts;
an interest and lifestyle analysis, a media consumption evaluation and an assessment
of familiarity with GLBR cities, focusing on the City of Saginaw. Demographic
information was also collected for classification purposes. Respondents were asked
questions relating to city branding initiatives that have proved to be successful in other
metropolitan areas. We also examined what specific activities draw people to a city.
This data will be useful in determining what the committee should pursue in order to
increase traffic and participation. To provide a clear comparison of Saginaw to other
cities in the GLBR, we asked the surveyed population which cities they are most likely
to go to. Respondents were asked to rate the City of Saginaw on aspects such as visual
appeal, business and shopping variety, entertainment, parks, recreation, security and
safety. These insights will be useful in pinpointing which elements the committee should
focus on in their branding efforts to ensure efficiency and success. The data collected
was tested against four hypothesis and the results identify multiple relationships; college
student status and a want for more variety in shopping entertainment, how often people
listen to the radio versus how often people go out to eat at a dine-in restaurant, the
income bracket of $23,999 or less and a need for bike lanes, and people with children
being concerned with safety and security.

Introduction
Rebranding initiatives can make a huge difference in the awareness, perception
and success of a brand. It is important to remember, though, that all brands start
somewhere. In order to ensure efficiency and effectiveness when launching a new
branding campaign, one must first analyze the current market situation. This includes
the attitudes about the brand, consumer preferences, and any perceivable trends in the
industry.
A committee has been formed in Saginaw County with the purpose of improving
the image of Saginaw, and it's City Center. Our Market Research group has taken on
the task of gaining a better understanding of the current perceptions of Saginaw, in the
city, and its surrounding areas. To get the most relevant information from the
questionnaire we will be designing to gauge perceptions of the city, we have identified
four key areas to investigate.
First, we will gauge respondent's interest in various city branding elements that
have been used by other cities to increase involvement and traffic. These initiatives
include; farmers markets, co-ops, urban gardening, sustainability, a central gathering
place, food trucks, bike rentals and lanes, a lively art and music scene, clear wayfinding and signage and a large shopping variety. This will identify which elements are
most likely to draw new visitors to the city.
In order to gain a better understanding of the sample, we will look into the
respondents lifestyle. How frequently do they go; out to eat at a dine-in restaurant, to
see a movie at the theater, to a live entertainment event, to have drinks at a bar or
4|Page

utilize public parks. This section will identify which activities get the surveyed out of their
house and into a local business.
Then, we will look into the media usage patterns of respondents. We want to find
out whether they are more likely to utilize traditional or social media, and how frequently
they log on. If respondents favor social media, we will find out which outlet has the most
popularity within the sample. This will allow us to pinpoint the best way to reach the
target market. We will also ask if they have seen the Pure Michigan: Great Lakes Bay
Region advertisements on television, or if they have heard them on the radio. It is
important to know if this campaign is reaching the market.
The next area we will address is the awareness of the Great Lakes Bay Region
in the sample. This section includes a comparison between cities located in the region,
identifying which are most favorable. We will then determine familiarity with Saginaw in
the sample. We will ask if they have heard of it, if they have visited and how often they
go there. Then, we will have respondents rate the city on various aspects; visual
appeal, business and shopping variety, entertainment options, security, safety,
recreation and parks. This will help gauge how informed and involved the sample is,
and identify key features that can make or break a city. Lastly, we will ask respondents
what comes to mind when they think of Saginaw. This will be the only open-ended
question on the survey and it may produce valuable insights.
The collected data will then be processed and tested against a set of
hypotheses. We hope to be able to identify key characteristics of booming cities, and to
be able to pass those trends on to Saginaw, to make it the next big thing. The first
hypotheses we will test is whether or not there is a tendency for college students to be

5|Page

more concerned than other citizens with a large shopping variety. Next, we will test if
people that listen to the radio often also go out to eat at dine-in restaurants often.
Another hypothesis examines the relationship between the income bracket of $23,999
or less and desire to have bike rentals and lanes. The fourth hypothesis will determine
whether people with children are more concerned with safety and security.
The majority of our sample consists of citizens and college students in the Great
Lakes Bay Region. We enacted a discover-oriented approach with the goal of finding
out exactly how people perceive the city. Our face-to-face method of data collection is
structured through the form of the questionnaire. The questionnaire consists mainly of
closed-ended questions, with one exception- respondents were asked what comes to
mind when they hear the word Saginaw. This is an undisguised study, as respondents
are participating on a voluntary basis.
In order to ensure a representative sample, we administered questionnaires in a
natural setting at multiple existing physical locations throughout the region. We believe
that by getting as much information as we can from each respondent, and opening up
the lines of communication by asking them what they want from a city, we will have a
complete picture of Saginaws current position in the perceptual map of this sample.
The final picture will allow the branding committee to concentrate their efforts only on
endeavors that are worthwhile.

Descriptive Statistics
Overall, 400 surveys were collected and analyzed, at least 384 were
needed. This number was configured using the following equation:
N=[z^2(p*q)]/(e^2)
p (variance) = 0.5
q (1-p) = 0.5
z (degree of confidence) = 95% confident
e (margin of error) = plus or minus .05
Therefore, N (total sample size) came out to be 384.

Section 1 Descriptive Statistics


The first section of the survey asks participants to rank the importance of the
following factors based on what influences them to visit a new city. The graphs show
the responses we gathered.
1= Not Important 2= Somewhat Unimportant 3= Important 4= somewhat Important 5= Very Important

7|Page

The average importance of Farmers Markets and Co-ops is 2.58 and the median
is 2 (somewhat unimportant). Furthermore, the mode is 1 (not important). Therefore, we
can say that farmers markets and co-ops are not of high importance, although they may
play a small role with our participants when deciding to visit a new city considering the
average is almost 3, which is important.
The results for urban gardening and sustainability initiatives are similar. The
average was 2.29, the median is 2, and the mode is 1. This shows us that people are
not concerned with gardening and sustainability initiatives when visiting a city. The
average is close to two, which is below

important.
The same results can be said for a central gathering place with food trucks
(mean: 2.28, median: 2, mode: 1) and bike rentals and lanes (mean: 2.19, median: 2,
mode: 1). Both have averages close to 2, which is between important and not important.
Therefore, the majority of our participants are not interested in either bike rentals and
lanes, or central gathering places with food center.
Lively art and music scene seems
to be important to our participants when

8|Page

deciding to visit a new city. The amount of people that chose very important and
somewhat important was 50.5%. The average is 3.36, the median is 4, and mode is
4. Therefore, most people take into account the art and music scene when deciding to
visit a new city.
Clear way-finding and signage seems to be perceived as an important factor as
well. The mean of the data is 3.46, the
median is 4, and mode is 4. Therefore, the
factor of clear way-finding and signage is
somewhat important to the majority of our
participants considering 54.75% of them
answered that it is either somewhat

important (4) or very important (5).

The factor of large shopping variety


seemed to be the most important for the
majority of the participants. The total
percentage of people that answered
somewhat important (4) or very important (5) was 65.75%. Furthermore, the mean
was the highest in this section at 3.8. Also, the median is 4 and the mode was the
highest at 5.
It is clear that the factors that were of high importance when choosing whether to
visit a city was large shopping variety, clear way-finding and signage, and a lively art
and music scene. The least important factors to our participants were farmers markets
9|Page

with co-ops, urban gardening and sustainability initiatives, central gathering place with
food trucks, and bike rentals and lanes.
Section 2 Descriptive Statistics
The following graphs are the statistics
of the participants lifestyle analysis on how
often they eat at a dine-in restaurant, see a
movie at the theater, go to a live
entertainment event, go have drinks at a bar, and go to public parks. Participants rated
how often they do the previously listed activities.
1= rarely
occasionally

2= somewhat rarely
4= somewhat often

3=
5= often

Going out to eat at a dine-in restaurant is the most


frequent activity. The mean is 3.4, which is the
highest mean in this section. Furthermore, the
median is 3 and the mode is 3. According to the
data, 46% of the participants answered that they go to a dine-in restaurant somewhat
often or often.
Going to a movie at the theater does not happen often according to our statistics.
The mean is 2.49, the lowest of all the averages in this section. The median is 2, also
the lowest of the section, and the mode is 2,3. Only 17% of the participants answered
that they go to a movie somewhat often or often.

10 | P a g e

Live entertainment events had


about the same results as going to a
movie at a theater. The mean is 2.62, the
median is 3, and the mode is 3. This
shows that people somewhat
rarely/occasionally go to live

entertainment events but not so much that


they would consider going often.
There was a mostly even spread with
the question on how often people go to have
drinks at a bar. The average was 2.91 while
the median is 3 and mode is 1. One fourth
of the participants answered that they rarely go to a bar to have drinks. However, 38%
of participants answered that they go have drinks at a bar somewhat often or often.
The data collected about public
parks also shows no majority of one
answer. However, the mean is 2.72,
median is 3, and the mode is 3.
Therefore, people may not go to a
public park often, but the majority of
participants do go occasionally.
Overall, the two events that are most popular are eating at a dine-in
restaurant and going to have drinks at a bar.
11 | P a g e

Section 3 Descriptive Statistics


The following graphs show the usage of social media channels.
1= rarely

2= somewhat rarely 3= Occasionally

4= somewhat often 5= often

Fro
m
the
data
we
see
that

Facebook is definitely the most popular social


media at 45% of our participants saying they
use Facebook often. The second most popular
social media is Twitter even though only 29%
of participants answered that they use it often.
The mean for Facebook is 3.92 and the mean
for Twitter is 2.85. These two social media sites where the only two that are used often,
the other three are insignificant considering each one has high percentages of
participants that answered that they rarely use that media channel.
The following graphs show the usage of traditional media channels.
12 | P a g e

1= rarely

2= somewhat rarely

3= Occasionally

4= somewhat often

5= often

According to the data collected, television and radio are the most popular
traditional media channels. The average usage for television is 3.7 (almost somewhat
often), median is 4 (somewhat often), and mode is 5 (often). This shows that television
is by far the most used out of the four. Radio is next with an average of 3.14
(occasionally), median of 3 (occasionally), and mode of 4 (somewhat often). Both
magazines and newspapers have very low averages of 2.2 and 2.0 (somewhat
rarely). The median for each is 2 (somewhat rarely) and both have the same mode of 1
(rarely).

The following graphs show the awareness of the Pure Michigan: Great Lakes Bay
Region Ads on TV and radio.
13 | P a g e

The majority of participants have seen and heard the Pure Michigan:
Great Lakes Bay Region ads on both TV and radio.
Section 4 Descriptive Statistics
The following graphs show the likelihood of visiting each city.

14 | P a g e

1= Not Likely 2= Somewhat Unlikely

3= Likely

4= Somewhat Likely 5= Very Likely

15 | P a g e

The important information gathered in this


section is that there is not one city that is
overwhelmingly more likely to be visited than
the others. However, Saginaw has the highest
average rating of 3.41 (Likely). Saginaw also
has the highest median: 4 (somewhat likely);
and one of the highest modes: 5 (very likely).
The following graphs show the results of the questions on the survey asking if
participants have heard of Saginaw, and if they have visited Saginaw.
The results show us that it is very unlikely for people in the GLBR region to have
not heard of Saginaw and it is also unlikely if they have not visited.

16 | P a g e

Motivation, Location and


Frequency Statistics
According to the data, the
majority of participants are
motivated to go to Saginaw for
shopping.
The statistic data supports
this conclusion because the
mean is 3.19, the median is 3,
and the mode is 3, all of which represent shopping. However, the motivation of
entertainment is not far behind 24%.
The majority of participants
are drawn to the Kochville
(SVSU /Shopping District)
part of Saginaw. The data
supports this conclusion
because the median is 4 and
the mode is 4, both of which
represent Kochville.
Generally, the participants do not go to
Saginaw often, only 19% responded to
the often category. However, if we
look at the amount of people that

17 | P a g e

responded that they at least go to Saginaw occasionally we get a high percentage. 61%
of participants responded that they do go to Saginaw at least on occasion, if not
more. The descriptive stats support this conclusion considering the average rating is
2.94, the median is 3, and the mode is 3, which 3 is the indication for occasionally.
In section 4, question 7, participants were asked which of the following aspects
needs improvement in relation to Saginaw.
1= Needs Improvement 2= Needs Some Improvement 3= Adequate 4= Meets Expectation 5= Exceeds Expectation

None of the results for this section


had a high rating for exceeds expectations.
This shows that the majority of participants
believe that many improvements can be
made in Saginaw. However, the majority of

18 | P a g e

people did respond that the aspects were adequate. Every average was between
2(needs some improvement) and 3 (adequate): refer to appendix for precise numbers.
Furthermore, the medians for visual appeal, business & shopping variety, and
entertainment options were all 3 and the modes were also 3. The medians and modes
for security/safety and parks/recreation were a little lower at 2 (needs improvement).
Therefore, the first aspects that should be taken into the most consideration for
improvement are security & safety and parks & recreation. However, the other aspects
are only adequate, so there is room for improvement there as well in order to help
rebrand the view of Saginaw.

Hypotheses Analysis: Inferential Data


Hypothesis #1:
Ho: There is not a relationship between college students and the importance of a
city having more shopping opportunities.
Ha: There is a relationship between college students and the importance of a city
having more shopping opportunities.
When considering our first hypothesis, if there is a relationship between college
students and the importance of a city having more shopping opportunities, we referred
to (part 1-1-g) and part (3-9). Question g refers to our interval scale with respondents
answering whether a large shopping variety is not important up to very important
(continuous). Question number nine asks if the respondent is in college or not
(categorical). For this lot of combined data, our team ran a two sample t-test.
Our findings included:

Two-Sample T-Test and CI: shop-no college, Shopping-college


Two-sample T for shop-no college vs Shopping-college
N Mean StDev SE Mean
shop-no col 118 3.75 1.12 0.10
Shopping-college 282 3.82 1.19 0.071

Difference = mu (shop-no college) - mu (Shopping-college)


Estimate for difference: -0.065
95% CI for difference: (-0.311, 0.181)
T-Test of difference = 0 (vs not =): T-Value = -0.52 P-Value = 0.603 DF = 232
20 | P a g e

These findings prove that we do not reject the null, because the p-value 0.603. This
shows that there is not a relationship between college students and the importance of a
city having more shopping opportunities.

Hypothesis #2:
Ho: There is not a relationship between people who listen to the radio and people
who go out to eat at a dine-in restaurant.
Ha: There is a relationship between people who listen to the radio and people
who go out to eat at a dine-in restaurant.

When considering our second hypothesis, we are referring to part 2 (sec3-2-b:


radio use) and part 1 (sec 2-1-a: frequency of going to dine-in restaurant). Question b
refers the usage of the radio (continuous), and question a, refers to how often people go
out to eat at a dine-in restaurant (continuous). For this lot of combined data, our team
ran an ANOVA test.

Considering the p-value is 0.030, we reject the null. We will consider that there is a
relationship between people who listen to the radio and people who go out to eat at a
dine-in restaurant. This is relevant for the advertising in the area, via radio.

22 | P a g e

Hypothesis #3:
Ho: There is not a relationship between people with the annual income of $23,999
or less and the respondents that are concerned with bike rentals and lanes.
Ha: There is a relationship between people with the annual income of $23,999 or
less and the respondents that are concerned with bike rentals and lanes.

To analyze this information our group used a two-sample t-test and ran information from
(part 1-1-d), a question concerning bike rentals and lanes, and (part 3-10), which asks
for the participants income.
Two-Sample T-Test and CI: $23,999 or less, $24,000 and higher-bikes

95% CI for difference: (-0.335, 0.137)
T-Test of difference = 0 (vs not =): T-Value = -0.83 P-Value = 0.409 DF = 396
Within the two-sample t-test we discovered a p-value of 0.409, so we do not
reject the null. Therefore, we note that there is not a relationship between people of
annual income of $23,999 or less and the respondents that are more concerned with
bike rentals and lanes.

23 | P a g e

Hypothesis #4:
Ho: There is not a relationship between people with children and respondents
who are more interested in security/safety improvements.
Ha: There is a relationship between people with children and respondents who
are more interested in security/safety improvements.

To analyze this data we, once again, used a two-sample t-test:


Two-Sample T-Test and CI: kids-safety, no kids-safety

95% CI for difference: (-0.651, -0.083)
T-Test of difference = 0 (vs not =): T-Value = -2.58 P-Value = 0.012 DF = 65
Within this analysis, we discover a p-value of 0.012, low enough to reject the null
and say that there might be a relationship between people with children and
respondents who are more interested in security/safety improvements.

Conclusion & Interpretation


This market research study has produced many useful insights in relation to the City
of Saginaw and perceptions in the Great Lakes Bay Region. The final questionnaire
may have been lengthy but it provided us with a large amount of data to analyze and
draw conclusions from.
As far as the questions regarding branding initiatives, three components were
significantly important to the sample. Respondents rated a large shopping variety as the
most important factor when choosing to visit a new city. The presence of a lively art and
music scene was somewhat important. Clear wayfinding and signage also was shown
to be somewhat important to the surveyed population. Farmers markets and co-ops,
urban gardening and sustainability initiatives, and a central gathering place with food
trucks sparked some interest, but not enough to be statistically significant.
In regards to the lifestyle analysis section of the questionnaire, two activities were
found to be the most often performed in this sample. Going out to eat at a dine-in
restaurant was the most frequent spare-time activity that respondents take part in.
There was also a pattern of going out to have drinks at a bar somewhat often in this
sample. Seeing a movie at the theater, going to public parks and going to live
entertainment events took some of the frequency in this sample, but not enough to be
significant.
When analyzing the media consumption of the surveyed, two social media networks
and two traditional media outlets stood out. Facebook was the overwhelming leader as
far as social media is concerned. Twitter came in second in popularity. Tumblr, Reddit
and Pinterest were not shown to capture a significant amount of this sample. As far as
traditional media is concerned, television and radio reach the majority of our sample. As
25 | P a g e

was expected in this digital age, magazines and newspapers were not effective in
reaching these respondents.
What has been shown to be effective in reaching this sample are the Pure Michigan:
Great Lakes Bay Region television advertisements and radio commercials. The
committee may want to pursue investing in and extending this campaign.
Likely as an effect of the geographical region the questionnaire was administered, a
vast majority of the sample has heard of and visited Saginaw. Respondents rated
Saginaw as the city they were most likely to visit, but Frankenmuth, Freeland, Bay City
and Midland were not far behind.
In the analysis of the motivations behind the sample visiting Saginaw, shopping and
entertainment were shown to be most compelling. Business, school and family also
draw a significant amount of people to the city, but not enough to be statistically
significant in this study.
The geographic area that most respondents reported visiting was Kochville township.
This identifies with the motivator of shopping, as Bay Road and The Fashion Square
Mall were shown to draw an overwhelming majority of respondents to the city. The
majority of the sample reported going to Saginaw occasionally, placing them in the
middle of the road as far as frequency goes.
When asked to rate the City of Saginaw, not a single aspect exceeded the samples
expectations, identifying that there is definitely room for improvement. The areas that
respondents claim to need the most improvement were security and safety, visual
appeal and parks and recreation. Again, business and shopping variety and

26 | P a g e

entertainment options did not exceed, or even meet, the samples expectations, but they
were not prioritized in these results.
Our hypotheses tests analyzed produced interesting results as well. There was not a
relationship between college student status and significant interest in shopping variety.
We assume that there might be a relationship between people that listen to the radio
often and people that go out to eat at a dine-in restaurant often because there was proof
that we reject the null. There is not a relationship between people with an annual
income of $23,999 or less and whether they are interested in bike rentals and lanes.
There was significance in the relationship between people having children and a
concern for the safety of the City. This obviously portrays the dire need for
improvements to security.
This study has highlighted positive aspects that Saginaw already has to offer
citizens of the Great Lakes Bay Region. It also has shown the areas needing
improvement that should be prioritized. Perceptions can change as a result of
marketing, events, and even the smallest changes. It is an ongoing process and we
hope that this study will offer the committee a place to start.

27 | P a g e

Study Limitations
One limitation we had with our research is that we are relying on people
answering the survey honestly and unbiasedly. The questions we asked are to help see
what would bring people to the Great Lakes Bay Region. If people let others influence
their answers, the data will not show a correct representation of what we are trying to
find out. Instead of answering the way they normally would, if they were around their
friends or family while taking the survey they might be influenced by their friends and
family and let their opinions affect how they answered the questionnaire.
A way we could change this in the future is by having people fill out the survey
while they are not around friends and family. We could have people fill it out in front of
us immediately instead of taking it home or somewhere else to complete it before
returning it to us.
Another limitation is that we wanted to survey people from the surrounding areas,
which can present a problem. When going to different areas and handing out surveys
the people you are sampling is just a small portion. Also, depending on where you are
handing out the surveys, the people in that area might not be a good representation of
the whole population.
We could change this in the future by handing out more surveys in different parts
of the city so that way we get data from all areas of the cities we are surveying. This
would give us a better collection of data to interpret. This would give us views and
opinions of a greater variety of people.
Handing out too many surveys in one location was also another limitation.
Surveying too many people from one location can have a great impact on the data. For

28 | P a g e

instance handing out more surveys in Saginaw than any other area would be a bad
idea. We wanted to collect peoples opinions about Saginaw that live in the surrounding
areas of the city. The reason for this is because we were trying to find out what would
bring people to Saginaw that do not normally visit there.
To correct this in the future we could hand out equal amounts of surveys in each
area we are looking to obtain data from. This will give us a more diverse collection of
data to collect and interpret.

Perceptions Word Bank

Violence

Unsafe and Lame

That's where I live

Shopping

Emergency Management

I go to SVSU

Danger!

Crime- Sagnasty

I think of mall, movies, Sam's


Club, and restaurant variety

I've only been once and I'm


from out of state, was run
down and not appealing

Scary in some places

Apparently it's scary


Be aware of your
surrounding

Gang and crime


Violence

SVSU

Sagnasty-SVSU

Danger, black people,


shopping

It sucks!

SVUS Saginaw Spirit

Middle of no where

its similar to Detroit

A lot of violent crimes

Better than Midland, more


happening

SVSU, Dow Event Center

Unsafe

A lot of potential, but


problems with crime and
poverty

I think of the shopping mall


but I also think of how
dangerous part of Saginaw
are
Crime - it has some great
things to offer but some are
out of the way and not
convenient to get to and its
always in the back of your
mind that something bad can
happen when you're there
SVSU
Fashion Square Mall
A crumbling city, full of
urban blight, and gang
bangers. Out by the mall is
decent.Only reason I ever
dive across the river is for
Saginaw Sting.

Largest city than our tri
cities, meaning offering more
stores for me. Yet, I know its
not a safe city for my family.
It is good to shop in and visit
for entertainment.

Ghetto, trying to be Birch

I love Saginaw, I believe it is
severly underrated but it is
making strides to change
that. I love the recent
additions to downtown, and I
will look for more to come.
