EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project is assigned to us to make the promotional plan for a new product which we have to

launch in the market. Our product which is not launched in Pakistan ever before is: flavored

bread. The name we suggested for our flavored bread is “PRETZEL Bread”. We did a

prospective SWOT analysis for our product. Then we made a marketing mix for Pretzel Bread.

We suggest a price for our product. We suggest our target market and made our positioning

statement. Then we have designed our logo for PRETZEL BREAD. After deeply analyzing the

features of our product and behavior of our target market we made the copy platform for our

print ad and television commercial (TVC). Our product is going to be introduced first time in the

domestic market of Pakistan. In the start we would be targeting small city of Pakistan. We would

be having a well-defined Marketing and Operational plan so that our all the functions are

conducted easily without any difficulty and we could meet the needs of the customers in a better

and successful way.

PRETZEL BREAD

dough of flour and water. It is popular

around the world and is one of the world's

HistoryAn enormous variety and flavors of bread

is available across Europe. Germany lays

claim to over 1300 basic varieties of

breads, rolls, and pastries, as well as having the largest consumption of bread per capita

worldwide, followed by Chile. Bread and salt is a welcome greeting ceremony in many central

and eastern European cultures. During important occasions when guests arrive, they are offered a

loaf of bread with a salt holder to represent hospitality. Flavored bread has been introduced in

Europe.

PRETZEL BREADThe proposed company plans to establish a project for baking the flavored breads in different and

unique shapes and sizes. Every bakery offers the bread, which is milky or simple, or diet in only

POSITIONIN G

Brand positions through its Attributes (flavors) and Value (added fun & variety to daily breakfast) Nowadays children have become highly choosy and moody when it comes to meal. They prefer taste over health. So they demand taste and variety, whereas mothers want healthy food for their children. That’s why children prefer fast food that provides taste & fun and their mothers prefer basic staple cereals for their children. This contradiction in preference has always been the generator of conflict on breakfast table between kids and moms. To solve this conflict Pretzel Bread has combined taste and health in the same staple bread to please mothers and children both. Our product thus positions itself on the basis of flavors it is providing and the great value it creates.

Positioning Strategy:Firstly more for more is our positioning strategy where we are offering more benefits for more

prices. With the passage of time, we will move towards more for less.

SMARKETING MIX

PricingPrice has been a major factor, affecting the buyer’s choice. Price is the only element in the marketing mix that produces revenues. Therefore, we will set prices for our product by taking into account all internal factors including marketing objectives, marketing mix strategy, costs etc and external factors including nature of the market and demand, competition and some other environmental factors like economy, government etc.And as we are offering a differentiated product that is not currently present in the local market so we set our prices a little higher adopting “Market skimming Strategy”.

Expected Price Range (Consumer):

- Chocolate flavored bread Rs. 55/-- Strawberry flavored bread Rs. 55/-- Banana flavored bread Rs. 55/-

Place (Distribution):Currently, we are only going to be introducing this product in Gujranwala.The foremost reason for this is that Gujranwala is a small city, as our product is new, we will firstly check the response of people towards it in small city. Once the product becomes more popular and more people are ready to buy it, we will introduce it in other cities as well.

Promotion (Throughout the product life cycle)

Introduction:Our product is a new and differentiated product

which we are going to launch in market. As our

product is made up of superior quality with

added flavors, in addition it has a quality

packaging, so its cost of production is more than

other branded breads locally available in market.

Introduction of the product in market also

requires extensive promotion to mark its

differentiated presence in market. So we need to

charge handsome price for our product in initial phase, which will also support its high budget

promotional activities.

8

Growth:When our product will be accepted by the target audience and it will be in growth stage we will

increase sales promotion and public relations activities, we will also extend our distribution

network to other cities of Pakistan; there will be a reduction in price due to the mass production

which will decrease per unit cost and our initial investment in product and promotion can be

recovered.

Maturity:In maturity stage we will try to gain as much profit as we can through our product. Less-

aggressive but consistent promotion will be carried out with sales promotion mainly. Price of the

product will also be reduced because we will cut down our advertising expenditure.

Decline: (Re development)

We will launch new more flavors & variants of our product just before decline phase to avoid it.

And we will start whole new and different kind of promotional activities to re-position our

product in market. Once again high budget would be allocated to promotion.

THE BREAD INDUSTRY OF PAKISTAN The bread industry in Pakistan has seen many changes in the last twenty-five years. It has

emerged as a small-scale bakery processing

industry to numerous industrial bread making units

all over Pakistan. The bread industry in Pakistan is

flourishing very quickly and bread products are

gaining much popularity. Bread has been accepted

as a popular substitute of rice, naan,chappati,

paratha. Currently, 5% of the total population of

Pakistan consumes packaged bread. The major

factors for such a low percentage of people consuming bread are mostly economical and cultural.

Pakistani diet consists of many substitutes for bread, which are cheaper and preferred over bread

by a majority of the population. However the ground realities are a bit different since all the

wealth is being concentrated in the hands of few and middle class is not emerging as fast as it is

9

emerging in other Asian economies, which is one of the reasons that only 5% of Pakistanis

population consumes bread. Inflationary pressures are affecting the prices of raw-materials.

PLAN OF PROMOTIONAL PRETZEL BREAD

STEP-1: Promotional opportunity:

The market for Bakery and cereals in Pakistan increased from 2002-2007, and is growing at an average annual rate of 10.8%.The political scenario as well as the legal scenario is not posing any threat to the bread industry. The government is very enthusiastic about industrialization in the country and wants the foreign sector and private sector to take part in it. So any move towards industrialization and standardization is being encouraged, which should ideally suit the existing as well as new comers in the packaged goods industry.

Market Share of Bread Companies in Pakistan:

- Dawn bread 50%- Imported breads 15%- And other local breads 35%

GAP ANALYSIS

Gap analysis is carried out in order to find out in which areas of a certain market there is potential to grow and which areas are saturated with products and services. By doing a gap analysis the companies can evaluate what are the needs and wants of consumers that need to be fulfilled. In this way these companies can come up with the products or services that will not only satisfy the consumers but also bring profits to the company. In other words we can say that a gap analysis gives us the difference between the current and the most desired state of an industry. If we cast a look at the bread industry of Pakistan we shall see that there is a gap among needs to be fulfilled. There is a requirement of newer, tastier and differentiated bread in the market that needs to be fulfilled. There are only a few companies that provide bread in Pakistan and that too provide simple plain basic white bread having almost same taste and quality.. Thus the consumers do not have much choice or differentiation among purchase of any bread that he might prioritize over other. Ultimately they are left with these plain breads from which to choose. Thus we can analyze that there is a gap in the bread industry. Consumers need to have

10

different kinds of bread, which is currently not available in the market.

CONSUMER ASSESSMENT

After completing a consolidated environmental evaluation we are going to focus on consumer assessment. It is very critical to find out what are the needs and wants of the consumers of that particular market, what are the attributes they want in a product and how much are they willing to pay for it and how are they going to behave while and after purchasing the product. By getting adequate information about the preferences of the consumers through the consumer assessment process, the company can position and market its products more

effectively. If necessary, the company might also alter its products according to the tastes and attitudes of the people. Consumers are increasingly concerned about their health and are well aware of the relationship between nutritious food and optimal health. Various concerns have caused consumers to monitor their dietary habits closely. The growing media coverage on health, the rising incidence of health conditions (obesity, diabetes and cardiac problems), concerns over physical appearance, changing lifestyle and also soaring costs of healthcare have all contributed to the demand for healthier bakery products. In addition, the aging baby boomer population has had a specific effect in increasing the demand for healthy foods.

STRONG PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION

The main points that were observed from the gap analysis and consumer assessment are as follows,

1. The first and most important point was observed is that the consumers feel there is a scarcity of tasty breakfast items in the market. So they prefer buying locally made different but unhygienic bakery items.

2. The consumers want a variety of products in the market. When it comes to bread the only choice they have is plain or only few flavors of bread. They are willing to accept a new taste in their boring breakfast

3. The consumers are getting health conscious. They prefer taste complemented with health. Mothers specially choose healthier and nutrition enriched breakfast for their kids.

FINDINGS:

Our product is highly differentiated among all types of bread available in the market. No other

flavored bread currently exists in the market. So we have a bright chance of promoting our

11

product on the basis of its strong differentiated attributes that would clearly position its

differentiated image and demand in the minds of consumers. We believe there is a fair chance

that the flavored bread that is going to be launched will be immensely successful.

STEP-2: Promotional objectivePretzel Bread has clear and specific objectives of promotion, such as

To earn profits

To compare

To gain attention

To inform

To persuade

To make target audience aware of our product.

STEP-3: Organizing for promotionAs our product is totally new so we have to make great promotional efforts that might inform

&persuade target customer about our product. A group of expertise might be able to guide us in

promotional activities of our product.

STEP-4: Target AudienceTarget audience for our product is wider than our target customer (i.e children), which is already

specified in our target market segmentation before. Our target audience includes:-

Parents, specifically mothers: They are more interested in the nutritional and health

facts of our product

Youngsters: They might also get interested in our product because bread is everyone’s

staple food.

Government food ministries: They are concerned about the safety of any new food

product launched in the market which previously didn’t exist

STEP-5: Promotional messagePretzel Bread is differentiating itself on the basis of its flavors, quality and nutritional values. But

our promotional theme would be such that would directly hit our main target audience i.e.

12

children. So our promotional theme would be the newness created in daily boring breakfast by

our added flavors

STEP-6: Promotional budgetWe are using the objective task method to set the budget of out Advertisement campaign. Scheduling of our campaign is described below

Media budget allocation:From reserve, overall budget allocation will be distributed as:

- Electronic Media 20%

- Print media 10%

- Outdoor (billboards) 10%

Broadcast media:Budget among above mentioned Medias are as followDistribution with in broad cast media:

20%during kids programs and cartoons on different TV channels 50%during regular timings 30%on media vehicles(Cartoon Network Pakistan & Nick Pakistan)

Print media:We are giving prior mentioned magazines & newspapers equal priority

Outdoor media:Prime locations of billboards will be on way to amusement parks, nearby Mc Donald’s, KFC and subway.

ART WORK OF PRINT MEDIA

13

STEP 7 & 8 Promotional Mix AdvertisementFor the promotion mix PRETZEL Bread would be promoted via Advertisement initially. This advertisement would be electronic on TV or in print like billboards, posters, print ads, and

14

banners because the product is at its launching stage and mass awareness should be generated and that can only come through electronic ads and this is the best way to reach a wide audience because almost all people have access to it.

Selection of location where ad going to be

recorded

Arrangement of equipment like Camera,

lights etc.

Selection of child actor

2. Production This include the action part means lights, camera and actual recording of ad, as it is a TVC so it

is called a spot. The ad is made in a virtual dinning room environment where a mother (whose

presence is hidden and only hands are shown) serves her child with plain white bread first.

Different expressions and actions of child are recorded regarding the bread. Then mother serves

the child with Pretzel Bread and again expressions and actions of the child are recorded

regarding Pretzel bread.

3. Post ProductionNow we got ad in raw form so in this phase finishing of ad going to be take place. We done the

following

Improve visibility (Visualization)

19

PACKAGE DESINGPackaging encompasses the physical appearance of the container and includes design, color,

shape, labeling, and materials. Like advertising, packaging communicates both verbally and non-

verbally. Packages should continue promoting the product themselves. We design our product

according to the demand of kids and children. Its packaging is made of hard card box outside

which is unique and 100% recyclable; and sealed aluminum foil packaging inside. The color

scheme will be eye catching depicting the whole idea of adding colors to basic white bread

Its features are:-

Attractiveness: Package is highly attractive due to its vibrant colors and combinations

Environmental friendly : All the package material is 100% recyclable and

environmental friendly

Preservation: Aluminum foil protects the contents of bread and preserves its aroma and

taste. And hard card covering protects it from any forced damage.

Convenient: Package is convenient in carrying as it has card handle at its top.

Differentiated: This packaging is totally different from other conventional bread

packaging.

MEDIA PLANNING AND SELECTION

This part basically contains the identification, evaluation and finally selection of the channel of

communication to convey the message to the right people at the right time at the right place.

Various decisions which we take regarding to this are:

20

1. What media options?

2. Who is target audience?

Children

Mother

3. Where message is communicated?

National level

Majorly in cities

4. Timings of message

Morning, evening and prime time in

TVC

Print ad (Morning)

5. Frequency of Message

Continuous

6. Media Vehicle

Chosen media vehicles are

Television :, ATV, PTV, ARY, HUM TV, AAJ TV, TV ONE

Newspapers : Dawn, , Nawai-e-Waqt, Khabrain

Magazines : Smash, US, Young world, Akhbar-e-Jahan, Sunday magazine

7. Continuity of Message

Our message is for consistent longer period in order to create awareness among the people about

the new product.

8. Length of Message

For billboard very Short message

For newspaper showing some detail about product features etc.

For TVC also short message to create awareness and desire to purchase.

21

REASONS FOR SELECTION OF TELEVISION AS A COMMUNICATION MEDIA

Intrusiveness is ability of TV to impose itself on people. It becomes difficult to avoid it.

Psychologically it attracts the attention more than other mashies such as radio so we

select it.

Due to unique combination of voice, sight and motion.

It shows feelings, gestures and body language

High reach as TV is penetrated too much in our economy.

TV can also be simultaneously watched by group of people, whole family.

So due to these reasons we select the TV as major media option, others are newspaper and

billboards.

STEP-9: Evaluation of Advertisement We will do a random research sample asking people how they heard about our product.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Flavored bread: not ever being introduced in the market.

Anticipated competition:

By using idea of flavored bread, any other competitor can easily compete.

How to cope the anticipated competition up?

We will move our manufacturing by:- Launching diversity in our flavors and bread offerings.- Redesign, standardize and less costly methods for production

(making toy shaped slices)- By making joint ventures with some juice companies or tea- By introducing new flavors and also multi-flavored bread- Enhancing product availability at service stations, airports or

other stations canteens- Keeping our recipe secret

22

- Making the packaging more attractive this makes our product more eyes catchy at the retailer’s shelf.

- Lower our cost as possible by installing our plant in such geographical position where labor and raw material is easily available and where low tax rates are applied.

- We will use gas and electric ovens both in respective days of gas and electricity shortages so that our supply would not be affected.

FORECASTINGWhat is the expected market share for a new product?

In 3 years planning, our target is to get 5% shares of the market. And we will introduce:-- Vanilla flavored bread - Mango flavored bread - Pineapple flavored bread - Cheese flavored bread - Garlic flavored bread- Ginger flavored bread

We will also introduce:

- Cakes- Muffins etc.

SWOT ANALYSIS

Strengths Innovative offering so getting customer equity No existing specific competitor Reasonable prices for lower income group also Easy availability

Weaknesses No brand recognition. Our name in baking industry is new so most of the people are

not familiar with Pretzel. No separate outlet. We don’t have enough finance to construct our separate outlet. No customer orientation in local areas. As we are newly introducing in Gujranwala so

the customer is not oriented in the brand. New product hesitation (people feel hesitation in trying new things, behavior, taste

also matters) Electric ovens omit radiations which are harmful (in case of use of electric oven)

23

Opportunities

First mover advantage as no competitor has ever introduced this taste. So the no. of customers with us will be more than any other competitor in flavored bread baking industry.

Threats New product, may people don’t accept the flavored bread Competitors working in Islamabad may enter in local market Imitation by existing bakeries. May Meer and China try to copy it
