Brief Introduction

There are so many biscuits available in the market. Some of them are working under giants of

industry and some of them are working solo and created their brand name with time. Most of the

companies are selling their products saying that their product is different and unique; they claim

to have different taste. But now people are getting aware that most of the companies have similar

taste. As they have same biscuits in different packing.

People now want something unique and something that turns up different from all other biscuits

brand that are available in the market. By judging the requirement of the people we discovered

that there is need for a product that is actually unique in taste and also keeps its self different

from other biscuits brands.

After identifying the need we decided to launch biscuits that are going to fulfill the needs of the

people and also healthy from others. These biscuits have unique taste of mint in them that no

other biscuit have. This unique mint taste of biscuits differentiate us from other biscuit producing

companies.

2. Our Innovation

Explanation of our innovation:

We are introducing mint biscuits family, which is not introduced yet in Pakistan. There are many

types of biscuits and have many types of flavors but, no biscuits have refreshing taste as our mint

biscuit have. In start we are introducing plain mint, and later we are planning to include orange

mint, chocolate mint & lemon mint biscuits. It can replace mint toffees, mint bubbles etc.

How mint biscuits are creating a differentiation?

Mint flavor Helps in digestion Refreshing taste

Mint biscuits create differentiation from its mint flavor, as mint flavor is introduced first by our

company in biscuits, now people can also taste mint in biscuits. People who use to drink mint tea

after lunch they can have mint biscuits instead of taking tea, it works in a same way, and no other

biscuit have quality of making digestion easy. It can also be a good option for smokers to

refresh their mouth.

Page 3: marketing project minta buscit

Need Gap Analysis and how mint biscuits fulfill this need?

The Gap in Market

We conducted different surveys in the market trying to find out the current needs of the

customers regarding biscuits and ask them what they would like to have different in their

Biscuits. We come to the conclusion that people want something that is different from available

biscuits in the market yet also very healthy to eat.

Techniques for determining the steps to be taken in moving from a current state to a desired

future-state: It begins with

(1) After judging this Gap we are going to launch a new product so, first of all we have to

work on the development of the product. We will do free sampling and sponsors the

shows so that people can be aware of our product.

(2) After maintaining the maturity point, when we will feel that our sales and profits are

stable and they are not increasing then we will diversify our product. Here we will

introduce new flavors to attract the more customers.

(3) As we have mentioned that we will first of target the market of Lahore, so after attaining

the desired position in Lahore, we will introduce our product in Islamabad, Faisalabad

etc.

Page 4: marketing project minta buscit

Justification of the Innovation-why we think it’s going to sell?

We think mint biscuits are going to sell in the market because of the following reasons.

1. We think Mint Biscuits are going to sell because people want something different, people

want something refreshing yet different from the typical taste of the other biscuits

2. Smokers will highly prefer our product as there is no such direct substitute of Mint Biscuits™

3. It is first of its kind Biscuits that helps in digestion as there is Mint in it.

4. Customers are always attracted by new and innovative product.

5. We will provide biscuits at reasonable price.

6. Our biscuit is with good quality, nutritious and hygienically packed.

Current Marketing Situation-Expected Market Size And Potential

We analyzed the market and realized the market

Page 5: marketing project minta buscit

Above is the current market situation of all the biscuits companies. Here we don’t have any share

of us, because we are new to the market. We hope to have break even point in the 2 nd year and

after that we hope to have 2-3% of total market share within four to five years.

1. Currently peek freans and LU are the two major biscuit manufacturers in the market and

enjoying the highest share in the market.

2. the demand of the biscuits is all time high and people are demanding biscuits in different

taste and flavors.

3. We are going to launch the product initially in Lahore so our expected market size is all

the area within the Lahore district.

4. We are sure that the market size of biscuit will increase in time as people tend to eat more

biscuits rather than other snacks

biscuit are our target and potential customers.

6. We also believe that in time our potential market will be all Pakistan as we will increase

our production and distribution all over the country.

Threats:

1. No awareness about the product2. Big market share of other brands3. People don’t believe in Local brands4. Mint biscuits can be introduced by any other re-known company5. Unstable economic situation in Pakistan can also affect our product.

Matching the SWOT Matrix

There are four basic categories of matches for which strategic alternatives can be considered:

S/O matches show the company's strengths and opportunities. Essentially, the company should attempt to use its strengths to exploit opportunities.

S/T matches show the company's strengths in light of major threats from competitors. The company should use its strengths to avoid or defuse threats.

W/O matches illustrate the company's weaknesses coupled with major opportunities. The company should try to overcome its weaknesses by taking advantage of opportunities.

W/T matches show the company's weaknesses against existing market threats. Essentially, the company must attempt to minimize its weaknesses and avoid threats. These strategy alternatives are generally defensive.

Page 17: marketing project minta buscit

S/O Strategies S/T Strategies

We have small target market but we will expand our target market with advertisement and branches in all over the Pakistan

As there is a big market share of other brands, but as we have unique product which is yet not available in Pakistan, we can overcome on this threat

Placement Strategy

Wholesaling:

Page 18: marketing project minta buscit

As we are new to the market and due to the limited budget our wholesaling department would be at the same place at factory and at fewer wholesalers. Besides that we are looking forward to enhance our wholesaling outlets in the market. We are also giving wholesalers a good profit margin to increase our sales.

Distribution:

Our distribution department would be at the place of factory. We would do both direct and indirect distribution of our Minta biscuit. We have selected this strategy because it is our goal to hit, enhance and overcome the market in a short period of time with our newly innovative product.

Retailing:

As we want to expand our market share we have decided to do massive retailing of our product. We need our product to reach at every Shop, Stores and Khokha in Lahore, for this retailer would sell our product due to a good profit margin.

Channels of Distribution:

The intensity of our distribution would be “Intensive”. Due to a new and innovative product, we need our product to reach to the customer. There would be dedicated shelf spacing to maintain the SKU (stop keeping units). We are providing Minta to A, B and C class stores.

9) Promotion Strategies

Product Positioning Strategy and USP

1. The first step to position our product in the market we had to find who the relevant buyers are. Now since we have started a unique Mint based biscuit

Page 19: marketing project minta buscit

there is a lot of potential in the market. Now the question is how we are targeting this potential market, our Main focus is to separate those who are going to be the actual buyer and who going to be our long term buyers.

2. Now that we have focused the buyers, we are now going to explain our customers that what we have is different from all the others who are in the market. Mint biscuits are a unique concept itself. It’s of good quality full of nutritious values and hygienically packed pack. Also the mint inside our biscuits makes it one of a kind healthy product. This will attract people who like to have mint flavor but are not that attracted towards biscuits.

3. In the next step we select a few customers and try our positioning strategy on them so that we can have some initial feedback. That can help us later in making major market positioning statement.

Keeping in Mind the Positioning concepts

1. Functional positions o Solve problems

o Provide benefits to customers

o Get favorable perception by investors (stock profile) and lenders

2. Symbolic positions

o Self-image enhancement

o Ego identification

o Belongingness and social meaningfulness

o Affective fulfillment

3. Experiential positions

o Provide sensory stimulation

o Provide cognitive stimulation

We have not ignored even a single positioning concept just to make sure that all the related people are associated with and no one is left. Also making sure that building a strong image in the mind of the customers

Page 20: marketing project minta buscit

ii. Advertising strategy:

Above the Line Marketing

Above the line (ATL) is an advertising technique using mass media  to promote brands. This type of communication is conventional in nature and is considered impersonal to customers. It differs from BTL (below the line), that believes in unconventional brand-building strategies. The ATL strategy makes use of current traditional media: television, newspapers, magazines, radio, outdoor, and internet.

Below the Line Marketing

Below the line (BTL) is an advertising technique. It uses less conventional methods than the usual specific channels of advertising to promote products, services, etc. than ATL (above the line) strategy; these may include activities such as direct mail, public relations, sales promotion, consumer promotions, consumer incentives, trade incentives retail  promotions etc  for which a fee is agreed upon and charged up front. Below the line advertising typically focuses on direct means of communication, most commonly direct mail and e-mail, often using highly targeted lists of names to maximize response rates.

Strategy choose by US

We are offering fast moving consumer goods (MINT BISCUIT) that is in its launching stage and we all know that in introduction stage, we have to invest heavily on the advertisement. So, we have decided to use Above the Line marketing strategy as we are in the process of launching new product so first of all we want that people can be aware of our product. To get the people aware of our product, we will use TV, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines, Outdoor, and Internet.

b) Advertising Objective

Page 21: marketing project minta buscit

Advertising objectives are the communication tasks to be accomplished with specific customers that a company is trying to reach during a particular time frame. A company that advertises usually strives to achieve one of four advertising objectives: trial, continuity, brand switching, and switchback. As we are launching our new product so we will advertise so the people can have a trial or they can switch their brand.

Trial:

We are using advertising tool to encourage customers to make an initial purchase of a product. We will employ creative advertising strategies in order to cut through other competing advertisements. The reason is simple, without that first trial of a product, there will not be any repeat purchase. So for this purpose we have to make creative advertisings to attract customers.

Brand Switching

We are using advertising strategies so that people can be aware of our product and they can switch from competitors brands to our brand. It is a common strategy that our company is using to compare product price or quality in order to convince customers to switch to our product brand.

Campign Theme:

“Stay cool…Stay healthy”

Reach:

As it is mentioned earlier that we hope that we can reach up to 240,000 people through advertisement so it is our reach.

Frequency:

We are hoping to reach to our customers 10 times a day through different advertising channel. This will be our frequency that will expose our message to the customers.

Media vehicle selection:

Page 22: marketing project minta buscit

We are going to use the following media vehicles to reach our customers:

Page 23: marketing project minta buscit

Wall chalking 100000

Online Advertisement 1200000

iii. Slogan:

“Stay cool…. Stay Healthy”

iv. Direct selling strategy:

as e know that it would not be easy to reach all customers directly so we will do direct selling to our retailers and whole sellers through e-mails, and telephone services.

c) Push Strategy and Pull Strategy:

Push strategy:

When the manufacturer uses its sales force and trade promotion money to induce intermediaries to carry, promote, and sell the product to end use.

Page 24: marketing project minta buscit

Pull strategy:

When the manufactures uses advertising and promotion to persuade consumers to ask intermediaries for the product, thus inducing the intermediaries to order it

Push strategy Vs Pull strategy:

We have selected Push strategy so that our new product is launched with greater effect. If we use push strategy we will encourage the wholesaler and the retailer to sale our product to the consumer. This way our new product can be launched successfully

Promotional Materials

We are in the launching stage of the product so we have decided to use maximum promotional tools to help us promote our product in a better way.

We will use POS terminals in different shops and provide them racks in which only our product will be displayed.

We will attend trade fairs and exhibitions so that we can keep our self updated to the current market situation

Banner and hoardings will be displayed all over Lahore

10.Price

List price Trade price Margin price

Tikky pack 6 5.4 .6

Half role 12 11 1

Family pack 24 23.5 1.5

Par pricing:

We will use par pricing strategy for our product in the market because we are new in the market and keeping an eye on our competitors we cannot use market skimming strategy because if we use market skimming strategy we will have few customers because of Pakistani economic conditions and we are not use penetration strategy because now a day’s people think that low

Page 25: marketing project minta buscit

price means low quality as some time before Honda reduces his Honda 70 bike price and people thought that they are giving low quality so for that reasons we will use Par Pricing Strategy to overcome the market in the future.

Computation of pricing method:

We are using Competitor indexing, in which we are using price setting technique used by other marketers. We are using the price of competitors' products in determining the price of your own products.

Price elasticity and Customer Sensitivity

We have set the price according to the competitors and since we are new in the market we can not disturb the price elasticity. So if we will increase our price even by a single rupee we will lose the customer as they will think that we are charging high prices than our competitors. And if we decrease our price then it will cost us more and this way we can not cover up our basic expenses.

Discounts and Rebates:

We are not offering any discount and using any rebate policy because we are in the initial stages of the business and we have to cover up the cost and expenses first. But we are free sampling our product.

11. People

i. Key people with specific skills:

Our company’s key people are our Marketing and Sales Force. These people are creative and

well known to their jobs and the field. These are the people with whom we will introduce our

product in the market and people will soon aware of our product. This Staff has the appropriate

interpersonal skills, attitude, and service knowledge to provide the product that consumers are

paying for.

Page 27: marketing project minta buscit

The site area is 3 kannal and facing the main Raiwand road

Market entry strategy:

Market entry strategy is the planned method of delivering goods or services to a target market and distributing them there.

Flank Attack:

Attacking a weak position in the opponent’s force is flank attack. Challenger identifies the weak areas in the offering as well as marketing territories of the opponent and attacks those areas. A front attack may also be launched simultaneously, but the frontal attack is only to engage the opponent. But the real victory is won in the flanks. Market share gain in weak territories is the objective, but the opponent is forced to defend his share even in his strong territories and products.

Choosing the marketing entry strategy:

As we are launching a new product we will adopt flank attack. As there is no proper competitor of Mint biscuits and still no one is offering biscuits with mint inside.

Launch plan:

There are two types of launch plan

Soft launch strategy:

Soft launch strategy is such strategy in which we launch a product only in some areas of city just to test our quality and services and to find out our faults. We will also use this strategy to know about user’s feedback and to know about our product’s porn’s and corns. With this we will able to see if there is any mistake or fault in our product. And for free sampling so that people know about our product and for our marketing. We will use this strategy for 1 month.

Official launch:

The debut of a product into the market, the product launch signifies the point at which consumers first have access to a new product.

After testing our product in soft launch we will officially launch our product when we ensured that every distributor has our biscuit and it is ready to sale.

Event marketing at launch stage:

Page 28: marketing project minta buscit

We are planning to launch our product at the time of Basant. This suits our product in many ways as Basant is a major festival of Lahore and this way it will be easy for us to Highlight our product in the market in an easy way.

QUANTITATIVE SWOT MATRIX ANALYSIS:

It is the overall evaluation of a company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats is called SWOT analysis. It’s a way of monitoring the external and internal marketing environment.
