WT Strategies1-Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi Except these 5 cities all Pakistan contribute less than 50% in Olper’s market share, so for the rest of Pakistan they need a good strategy for increase their sales.
Confrontation Matrix
ST Strategies
By changing consumer’s perspective company can shift the focus from enjoying the final end product (e.g. tea, coffee, flavored milk) to enjoying Olpers. Thus gaining a competitive advantage in the industry and further strengthening its brand recall.
Olpers buying the milk from gowalas, it is important for them to maintain their prices.
WT StrategiesOlpers focus on the big 5 cities for it sales which contribute more than 50% of their overall sales. It is therefore a weakness for
them which will lead to a threat to being confined to specific areas of the country only.
SO StrategiesAs Olpers is a renown brand of UHT treated milk, it now needs to further strengthen its market share by making the product
available across the nation i.e. rural expansion.
WO StrategiesOlpers can gain the market share of expanded areas by working of cost cutting measures thus providing consumer of that
geographical area product in affordable prices.

Analysis:
Based on consumer buying criteria olpers is doing well by providing hygienic and healthy product.
It should improve in domain of availability that is to say that it should work towards making its product more available nationwide.
Olpers as compared to its other competitors is providing products in packages which are acceptable to the consumer.
Areas where Olper’s should work on and question are the different usages for which it can be used and its use for fitness.
CUSTOMERS BUYING CRITERIA:
KEY ISSUES
• Distribution network of the Olpers in the rural area is very week
• Thickness of the Olpers Milks is not very good as compare to its major competition
• High Milk collection and distribution cost• Unavailability of their own dairy farm
Blue Ocean Strategy:Method Opportunity
Introducing Olpers Delivery Trucks
Olpers can work on its own distribution network and launch a pilot project in which it should launch delivery trucks for its products. Consumers will be directed to Olpers call-center where they can place their weekly orders and their weekly (or as required) milk will be delivered at their homes.
Look for major buyers Olpers can collaborate with various restaurants, cafes, hotels, offices, hospitals, educational institutions, and airport etc where the institution will use/sell their products. In this way, Olpers can increase their market share by institutional or corporate selling.
Strategic Intent:
• Number one UHT Milk provider in Pakistan
• To develop the effective distribution channel across the country
• To own the dairy farm in different regions in Pakistan
• To explore new emerging segments for tea milk
• Most profitable segments like tea/coffee and daily drinking of milk needs to be further tapped in various regions.
Vision:
To become every consumer’s first and foremost choice for milk to be used in every purpose.
Mission:
Our aim is to become a product that fulfills all dairy needs of consumers. We strive to become the one and only name for quality experience to our consumer and becoming integral part of their lives by complying with global standards and in a socially responsible manner.
VISION & MISSION
Product
As per our input from the external and internal analysis we have concluded that one of the key issues of Olpers is to explore the new segments like “High calcium milk”
Secondly, Olpers current positioning is “ For all purpose” i.e the general purpose milk, it can be customized like Olpers for Tea/Cofee etc.

Price Analysis

The Price of Olpers is relatively is not to high to that of the others, Olpers should continue with same but currently should not increase its price, but its relatively high as compared the new entrant.
Place
The major issues that Olpers face are its availability in depth of regions. This effects its sales which is currently coming from the big 5 cities only
It is therefore a weakness for them which will lead to a threat to being confined to specific areas of the country only.
Olpers should spread more awareness of the usability of its product so as to increase the market share and customer loyalty.
Pakistan has more than 800,000 retail outlets from which olpers is supplied only 200,000 retail outlet.
