"Part 1 Pass
Task 1: Develop SMART Objectives
Grade: PASS

Feedback:
You clearly provided two SMART objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. The first objective targets social media growth with specific tactics like influencer collaboration. The second focuses on boosting sales through special menus and promotions. Both objectives were relevant to Kingston Manor's branding and revenue goals. You also effectively identified potential challenges (e.g., engagement limits, sales fluctuation) and matched them with realistic solutions like targeted ads and reservation systems. This demonstrates strong alignment with planning principles.

Task 2: Identifying and Measuring KPIs
Grade: PASS

Feedback:
You identified three meaningful KPIs—customer satisfaction, number of bookings, and increase in accommodation sales. Your explanations on how these KPIs reflect guest experience, revenue trends, and brand growth were clear and logically developed. Additionally, you identified appropriate measurement tools such as surveys, reservation software, and social media analytics. The analysis shows good understanding of performance tracking and its importance in post-event evaluation.

Task 3: Creating a Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

Your proposed USP—"Yardie Flavor"—was culturally rich, vivid, and appropriate for Kingston Manor’s brand identity.
