market.

12

INU1105: Introduction to Marketing

Summative Assignment 2

9.2 Tactical Plan

3 specific goals that have been narrowed down relevant to the above

Goal Strategy Marketing Programmes (Product, Price, Promotion, Place)

As a new company, Superbaby will be carrying out a range of promotional activities

over an intensive period during the first 6 months with a budget of £200,000.

13

INU1105: Introduction to Marketing

Summative Assignment 2

9.2.1 Goal

To build up Superbaby Foods Limited image and the awareness of its SMC products

range.

9.2.1.1 Strategy

By increasing its brand presence in the baby milk products market through extensive

advertising and promotions.

9.2.1.2 Marketing Programmes

I. Promotion

The initial stages of promotional activities would mainly revolve around informing

customers of Superbaby’s existence, its SMC products range, and how customers can

purchase them through the following:

a) Advertising

Different forms of advertising will be implemented to enhance awareness about

Superbaby and it SMC products range. Superbaby will focus on low-cost advertising

methods. As such, while television and print media are essential, they would be used

strategically to minimise cost. On the other hand, cheaper forms of channels would be

exploited to gain the most from them. The main message that would be delivered

would be the slogan of Superbaby – “Always here for you!” – such that customers

would be able to feel a personal connection with the brand.

(Refer to Figure 4)

14

INU1105: Introduction to Marketing

Summative Assignment 2

b) Direct Marketing

Direct mail, brochures and magazines would be mailed to potential customers

informing them of Superbaby presence and its products. For instance, potential

customers would receive monthly mail letters to be notified of any new products or

promotions. The customer services team could then arrange for an appointment with

customers who express an interest in Superbaby products, with the intention of

encouraging them to make a purchase.

c) Public Relations/Publicity

Superbaby would carry out different activities to develop and manage its relationship

with the public so as to establish goodwill. Firstly, it would focus on the activities

revolving around the launch of its SMC products range. The activities encompass of

keeping track of editorials, building good relations with the media (e.g. editors and

journalists), executing launch events, designing posters and leaflets, preparing free

samples. Secondly, Superbaby would display its environmental consciousness through

the usage of recyclable packaging. Its environment tagline, “Secure a future for your

child”, aims to encourage parents to be more environmentally conscious. Thirdly,

Superbaby’s Hope Project would assist underprivileged children who cannot afford

education through charity donations from its sales profits. This would help Superbaby

to enhance its public relations and increase publicity.

d) Events

Attending trade shows and exhibitions would help to increase awareness of

Superbaby and its products. These events would also enable the sales team to interact

with potential customers and build relationships with them. Face-to-face promotion

would also be more personal and customised depending on the different types of

customers. An example of an upcoming exhibition would be The Baby Show 2012 in

London, which presents Superbaby an opportunity to promote itself.

15

INU1105: Introduction to Marketing

Summative Assignment 2

II. Place

Superbaby would carry out its promotional activities with related institutions through

partnerships. For instance, Superbaby would sell its products at several hospitals

across the nation so that it could reach out to parents specifically at the children’s

ward. Sales representatives could be present to carry out personal selling or forms of

direct marketing could be used to inform parents of the SMC products range and its

benefits. Also, sales promotion could take place through the distribution of products

samples to parents to try out and follow-up sales action could take place.

9.2.1.3 Implementation and performance evaluation

Success could be measured through the sales volume that the above promotional

activities bring about. However, it could be tricky to match the results to a specific

promotion strategy, as it would be difficult to calculate. Instead, the success of the

promotional activities which would translate to sales and profits would be seen as an

overall effort by the promotions team.

16

INU1105: Introduction to Marketing

Summative Assignment 2

9.2.2 Goal

To gain 10% profits from the sales of SMC products range within the first year.

9.2.2.1 Strategy

Superbaby will focus on maximising its sales to achieve its profits target. Therefore,

Superbaby will advertise its products to increase sales by allowing customers to

acknowledge and understand its products better.

9.2.2.2 Marketing Programmes

I. Product

In order to differentiate Superbaby’s products from its competitors, the SMC range

would be marketed based on its additional benefit of being ‘user-friendly, simple and

convenient to use’ which ties in with its brand values. This differentiation would

allow Superbaby’s products to stand out and attract customers based on its unique

selling point.

II. Place

Sales promotion, which would be discussed in the following section, would be carried

out at multiple locations including major supermarkets, which are often the top choice

for customers to purchase food products. Sample packs would be given out at

childcare centres too, so that children would be able to try and test them out.

III. Promotion

a) Personal Selling

Face-to-face selling will ensure that customers receive a high degree of personal

attention and personalised service as the sales message can be customised to meet the

requirements of different types of customers. Also, the two-way nature of the process

allows the customers services team to respond directly and promptly to any queries.

Furthermore, personal selling is an ideal way to deliver large amounts of specific or

complex product information. This is essential, as parents would want the best

products for their children and would be even more careful with food products for

babies and toddlers. By being able to explain clearly the products details and benefits,

17

INU1105: Introduction to Marketing

Summative Assignment 2

the sales team would also be able to demonstrate the product. This is especially so

since the SMC products range is a relatively raw idea, which works in a unique way.

Most importantly, face-to-face meetings with customers frequently can provide an

opportunity to build good customer relationships in the long run.

b) Sales Promotion

As Superbaby is a new company in the market and the SMC products range is a

relatively fresh concept, not all customers will be able to accept it immediately. Thus,

Superbaby would distribute free products samples to encourage customers to try and

eventually purchase the products. This would allow consumers to understand and

experience the benefits of the products.

9.2.2.3 Performance Evaluation

The company would monitor the amount of sales made weekly in response to the

marketing campaigns so as to decide if there is a need for changes to the marketing

programmes.

18

INU1105: Introduction to Marketing

Summative Assignment 2

9.2.3 Goal

To retain 50% of the customer base after a year.

9.2.3.1 Strategy

Superbaby would ensure quality products at affordable prices and also, maintain long-

term customer relationships and evaluate customer feedback.

9.2.3.2 Marketing Programmes

I. Product

Superbaby will focus on R&D to ensure its products will be delivered at a high

standard of quality to customers. It will also ensure that all its products comply with

the standards set by the UK Food Standards Agency (Food Standard Agency, 2012).

II. Price

A lean-production process will be used to minimise waste and maximise efficiency.

Also, Superbabay will adopt a just-in-time stock management system to reduce

warehouse costs and reduce manpower. All these cost-savings will be passed on to

customers, making sure that the prices of the products are at its lowest.

III. Promotion

a) Maintaining long-term relationships with customers

Staff members will be stationed at hospitals and nurseries to promote SMC products

and record the particulars and contact details of children and their parents

respectively. Birthday cards will also be sent out to these children on their birthdays.

Besides, parents will receive updates of any new product developments and advice on

child development. Free samples will also be mailed to parents.

b) To listen and improve on customer feedback

Customer feedback is highly important to the company. The company will set up a

comprehensive feedback channel through email, phone call and mail. Contact details

will be provided on the company website to facilitate customers in the feedback

process. The company will acknowledge all messages within 24 hours of receipt. A

solution will be offered in the same form of channel within five working days. There

19

INU1105: Introduction to Marketing

Summative Assignment 2

will also be a direct hotline to the company to answer any queries regarding the

company’s products or the company itself. The company will guarantee that every

phone call will be answered by a ‘real’ person who will be able to understand the

situation.

9.2.3.3 Performance Evaluation

The company will monitor the number of returning customers monthly through its

data base. Statistics will be calculated and shown through graphs. An overall trend

will also be analysed at the end of the year.

POLITICAL General Election of May 2010 became known as the ‘Mumsnet

election’, with all of the main parties competing for family vote.

Furthermore, the Conservatives party which is the current ruling

party also places great importance on young children and families.

ECONOMICAL Spending on children is often the last thing to be reduced even in

recessionary times and thus, the demand for children food products

is relatively price inelastic. The UK’s economy is expected to

grow 0.8% in 2012 and 2% in 2013 (Yahoo, 2011). This gives a

positive outlook for the children products industry.

SOCIAL The fertility rate in the UK has been on the rise (the average

fertility rate rose from 1.64 in 2001 to 1.97 by 2008 (BBC, 2012).

The percentage of working mothers in the UK has also been on the

rise. In 2011, 66.5% of mothers in the UK either work part-time or

full-time (The guardian, 2011). Furthermore, there has been an

increased demand for products that are easier to travel with, on top

of other sophisticated demands.

TECHNOLOGICAL There have been significant improvements in technology to ensure

safety standards of baby food products with various tests in place.

Hipp, for example (UK-based subsidiary of the world's largest

baby food manufacturer), carries out more than 260 tests on each

product to ensure that they meet all the legislations for baby foods

(Food Processing, 2011).

LEGAL The UK government has implemented stricter rules on the labeling

of all types of formula clarifying that follow-on formula should

only be used by infants from 6 months of age (an increase from the

current limit of 4 months). Only a small number of approved

health and nutrition claims will be allowed on formula milk (Food

standard agency, 2012).

ENVIRONMENTAL There is great environmental protection awareness in the UK. In

2010, the UK is ranked 14th in the world based on environmental

performance index (global Sherpa, 2011). Also, the UK is

committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 12.5% from

1990 to 2008-2012 under the Kyoto protocol.
