HISTORY OF ICE CREAM Once upon a time, hundreds of years ago, Charles I of England hosted a sumptuous state banquet for many of his friends and family. The meal, consisting of many delicacies of the day, had been simply superb but the ''coup de grace' was yet to come. After much preparation, the king's French chief had concocted an apparently new dish. It was cold and resembled fresh fallen snow but was much creamier and wetter than any other was after dinner dessert. The guests were delighted, as was Charles, who summoned the cook and asked him not to divulge the recipe for his frozen cream. The king wanted the delicacy to be served only at the Royal table and offered the cook 500 pounds a year to keep it that way some later, however poor Charles feel in disfavor with his people and was beheaded in 1649. But by that time, the secret of the frozen cream remained a secret no more. The cook, named DeMirco, had not kept his promise. This story is just one of many of the fascinating tales which surround the evolution of our country's most popular dessert, ice cream. It is likely that ice cream was not invented, but rather came to be over years of similar efforts, Indeed, the Roman Emp=eror Nero laudius Caesar is said to have sent slaves to the mountains to bring snow and ice to cool and freeze the fruit drinks he was so fond of Centuries later, the Italian Marco Polo returned from his famous Joanne to the Far East with a recipe for making water ices resembling modern day sherbets.

WHY ICE CREAM IS POPULAR? Ice cream contains most of our favorite flavors. What do chocolate, potato chips and ice cream all have in common? They all contain high proportions of fat. Fat tastes good. That's why we all like those foods. Another favorite is sugar. Again ice cream has a high level of sugar. The addition of fruit or confectionery (chocolate, caramel. Etc) makes ice cream irresistible. The temperature that ice cream is consumed at makes it a pleasurable treat during the warmer months of the year. Ice cream also contains a portion of air. The air provides a softer texture making the product more pleasant to eat. The air in the ice cream also carries the flavors to the nose to enhance the taste sensation.

C URRENT MARKET SITUATION Before Wall's introduce in Pakistan, Polka was the market leader but it had to face competition with Yummy, and Rocco soon after. Polka dominated the local market between 1980 - 1990s. These were the only three ice cream companies in Pakistan during that period. Polka had almost 80 - 85% share of the market, the rest was shared by Yummy and Rocco. Due to their heavy investment and sponsorship Polka was the name that came into one's mind when one though about ice cream. But that was in the 80s, then came Wall's in 1995 and that was it the turning point for Polka's Sales. Wall's had a very different strategy than polka, they projected themselves as very strong company, plus they had a very strong marketing Plan, Which removed Polka out of the Market in to no time. Hence today we see Wall's SPD's on the streets of Pakistan selling all the variants of ice cream. Presently Hico has also captured the market, due to the result of there changed recipe and stronger marketing strategy. According to the survey conducted by the Lever Brother of Pakistan the Current Market situation of the market is somewhat like the following.

DIMENTION OF PRODUCT QUALIY IN WALL’S ICE CREAM To attain a substantial competitive advantage in product quality wall’s has understood, what Dimensions customers perceive to under line difference in quality across product.

PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE Product life cycles that can have a direct bearing on a company's survival. The life cycle of a product can be divided in to four stages, which are as under: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Introduction Growth Maturity Decline

A product life cycle consists of the aggregate demand for all brands comprising a generic product category. A Company's marketing success can be affected considerably by its ability to understand and manage the life cycles of its products.

17

Management must recognize what part of the life cycle its product is in an any given time. The competitive environment and resultant marketing strategy ordinarily will differ depending on the stage.

PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE STAGES

INTRODUCTION During the first stage of a product's life cycle, It is launched in to the market in a full-scale promotion and marketing program. The entire product may be new, or the basic product may be well known but have a new feature of accessory that is in the introductory stage. There are a high percentage of product failures in this stage. Operations in the introductory period are characterized by high costs, low sales volume, net losses, and limited distribution. However for really new products, there is very little direct competition.

Introduction Stage The introduction stage is very crucial stage, because if the product is not launched properly it will not be able to survive in the market for long. In introductory stage the prices are normally high because normally innovators adopt it and they are not price conscious. Wall's also adopt this pricing strategies.

GROWTH

18

In the growth, both sale and profit rises, often at a rapid rate. Competitors enter in the market in large number, if the profit out look is particularly attractive. Number of distribution outlet increases, pricing may come down a bit. Typically, profits starts to decline near the end of Growth stage.

MATURITY During the first part of this period sales continue to increase, but at a decreasing rate. Marginal producers are forced to drop out of the market. Price competition intensifies.

DECLINE After maturity stage the product start to decline, It is very important stage for the product to survive in the market. The company should take steps to add new features in their existing product.

POSITION

OF WALL'S IN PRODUCT LIFE

CYCLE Wall's is standing on maturity stage with 65% of total market share and Wall's is a leader in ice cream market. To survive in the market Wall's introduce time to time their new flavors and different promotional schemes.

19

Features of Product Brand Name A name, term, sign, symbol, design, or a combination of these intended to identify the goods or services of a one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of competitors. The brand name of product is "Wall's" which can be easily vocalized.

Brand Mark Brand mark is a part of brand that appears in the form of a symbol, design, or distinctive coloring or lettering. It is recognized by sight but may not be expressed when a person pronounces the brand name. The management of Wall's uses blue color for name, Red, yellow and white background, which is very attractive.

Packaging 20

The activities of designing and producing the container or wrapper for a product. Packaging serves several safety and utilitarian purpose. It may be a part of a company's marketing program and it is help full to identifying product among the competitor. Today, however, the marketing significance of packaging is fully recognized, and packaging is truly a major competitive force in the struggle for markets. As walls is a perishable consumer product so it is carefully packed, so that it can protect the product in its way to the consumer, provide protection after the product is purchased, help in acceptance of the product from middleman and help persuade consumer to by the product. Packaging of wall's also containing information about the product.

Labeling Labeling is another product feature that requires managerial attention. A label is a part of a product that identifies the product, describes several things about the product who made it where it was made, when it was made, its contents, how is to be used and how to use it safely. A label may be a part of a package, or it may be a tag attached directly to the product. Obviously there is a close relationship among labeling, packaging and branding. Finally, the label might promote the product thought attractive graphic. Descriptive label is used for Wall's as it contains ingredients, nutritional contents and flavor of the ice cream.

Design and Color One way to satisfy customers and gain a competitive advantage is through skillful product design. In fact, a distinctive design may be the only feature that significantly differentiates a product. Many firms feel that there is considerable glamour and general promotional appeal in product design and designer's name. In the field of business products, engineering design has long been recognizing as extremely important. Today, there is a realization of he marketing value of appearance design as well. Color often is the determining factor in the consumer acceptance or rejection of a product. Wall's is using very attractive design and beautiful colors for the customer attraction. All the wrappers provide some ideas about the flavor, taste, quality and freshness of the product.

21

Pricing Strategies Introduction: "Price" is one of the most important "P" of the marketing Mix. Pricing is important because it is a reward to the company and must be in hand to complete the other three "P" of the marketing Mix. The pricing of the goods and services performs a key strategic role in many firms because of the deregulation intense global competition, Slow growth in many markets and the opportunities for firms to strengthen market position. Pricing decision is very important because the survival of a company in the market depends upon Pricing decision. Pricing stratigy depends on pricing objectives.

Pricing Objectives Companies use their price strategies to achieve one or many of the several objectives. They may price for results (sales, market share, and profit) for market penetration or positioning. Pricing objectives may be,

  

Sales volume Profit Market growth

Pricing objective of Wall's are market growth, sales volume and also making profit. To achieve these objectives Wall's oftenly add new features in the product and also decrease its price.

Product Line Pricing Setting the price steps between various production in product line, based on cost difference between the production, consumer evaluation of features, and competitor's prices. Wall's has very long range of its line of products. The various product line of Wall's is as follows:

22

Products

Flavors

Cornetto Feast Split Solo Mini milk Paddlepop Fruiti Topten Star Cup

Mango, Classico, Strawberry Chocolate, Kulfa Mango, Strawberry Mango, Kola Raspberry Samar, Kulfa Banana, Rainbow, Chocolate-Fudge ------------------------------------------------Vanilla, Mango Slash, Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry Mango, Chocolate

Family Pack (1 liter)

Price

Price Adjustment Strategies Wall's uses the same price strategies for all regions. They are giving 5% discount to their wholesalers and 7% to their retailers. Company provides off-season quantity discount (3 extra ice cream pieces on the purchase of a cart on to their dealers.)

Pricing strategies There are two main strategies for pricing, which the companies adopt.

 

Market-Skimming Pricing Market-Penetration Pricing

Skimming Pricing Market skimming involves setting a price that is high in the range of expected prices. This strategy is particularly suitable for new product because in the early stages of a product life cycle, price is less important and competition is minimum. Product user is from high-income group and they are financially strong and they are not price conscious. Profit margin is high. We can not set this strategy 23

for a long period of time because after some time competitor arrives in the market and competition among them start.

Penetration Pricing In market penetration pricing, a low initial price is set to reach the mass market immediately. This strategy can also be employed at a later stage in the product's life cycle. Some companies adopt this strategy to puss out the competitor from the market because new arrival can not survive in the market with low price for a long time.

Wall's Pricing Strategy The management of Wall's intelligently using both the skimming and penetration pricing strategy.The brands witch having price more than Rs. 18 is skimming pricing stratigy and brands having prices less than Rs. 18 adopted penetration pricing strtegy. By adopting skimming they are earning more profit and by penetration they attract the customers and consolidating position in the market. They have to adopt both strategies because they are facing established competition in the market, e.g. In beginning the main competitors for wall's are Yummy & Polka, now their major competitor is Yummy after Purchasing Polka. It is necessary for company to purchase Polka, because "Nestle is well established company with good reputation they are willing to enter in Ice cream market by purchasing polka, so it would be a thread for walls that they may not be able to achieve desired profits. Starting the production requires more time than purchasing of any already established business. "Keep in min the expected of Nestle, Lever Brother Purchased Polka.

Placing Strategies Introduction

24

Placing is also a one of important "P" of Marketing Mix. A product has to be available at its appropriate place. Wrong placing of product could prove to be very harmful to the company. Placing dose not mean just the availability of the product, in fact the time at witch the product is available matter too. When a product is being advertised in the market, the customer at once hunt for it and if there is no sign of the product, it creates a wrong image in the customer's mind. Following facts has to be considered while placing the product.

  

The local market situation The buying trend of the people The nature of the product

The approach towards the product for the customer should be easy, providing inconvenience to the customer should be avoided, as the customer would at once shift towards the alternative product. Wall's is an edible product and it is easily available at these spots.

   

All convenient stores Superstores and Bakeries Restaurant and Hotels Spot Point Dealers (SPDs)

These spots are where people go out for purchasing, for eating and enjoyment and oftenly makes impulse buying. Through this Wall's increase its sales.

Distribution Channels A distribution channel consists of the set of people and firms involved in the flow of title to a product as it moves from producer to ultimate consumer or business user. A channel of distribution always includes both the producer and the final customer for the product in its present form as well as any middlemen (such as retailers and wholesalers). Designing and selecting the right distribution channel is very important task.

25

The right distribution channel can help to promote a product a lot, plus the distribution channel is a very good source of feedback from the market and from the customer. The most commonly used distribution channel in the market for tangible products to ultimate consumer, are: Producer Producer Producer Producer Consumer Producer Consumer Producer Consumer

Consumer Retailer Wholesaler Agent

Consumer Retailer Retailer

Dealer warehouse

Consumer Retailer

Retailer

Wall's Distribution Channel Wall's used this distribution channel:

Producer consumer

warehouse

Retailer

Wall's select this channel because its target market is urban as well as rural area and it is not possible for the Wall's to place its product to all the segments directly or with short channel.

Physical Distribution Physical distribution consists on all the activities concerned with moving the right amount of product to the right place at right time. For manufacturer physical distribution includes the flow of raw material from the source of supply to the production line and the movement of finished goods form the end of the production line to the final users location. Ice Cream is very delicate frozen food, and as they say "Ice Cream is a Game of Temperature", so it is very important to manage the physical distribution in a proper manner. We intend to follow the following steps in this regard:

26

•

Establish distribution centers all the cities where the Ice-cream to be supplied, these distribution centres will have a storing facility i-e a large freezer room for storing the ice-cream, the temperature maintained in the freezer room will be -50 degrees Centigrade. These distribution centres will be responsible for the flow of product. They will take orders from a market, fill them and provide on time delivery to the retailers. These distribution channels will be run by the whole salers, they will required to keep a certain level of inventory to fill the customers orders promptly, completely and accurately. Each city will have one distribution centre that will cover the whole city.

•

As set earlier that ice cream is a very delicate food and should never be allowed to rise above -18 C for super market products. Scoop icecream should be stored and transported at -18 C, but may be dispensed by retailer at -15 C. ice-cream is stored at colder temperatures than most other frozen food and needs extra special care. When ice cream is allowed to rise above these temperatures then this is called "Temperature Abuse". This will lead to "Heat Shock", where large ice crystals form and the product starts to shrink. These defects can never be reversed. So it becomes a very important to transport ice cream in truck with heavy-duty freezers. The distributor should always take care of trucks and keep them properly maintained. Smaller trucks are used for deliveries within the city and big one for the transportation of ice cream from production plant to the distributors.

Innovation in Placement Wall's introduced first time in history of Pakistan door to door service facilities. That is Spot Point Dealer (SPDs), these are the mobile sellers. That is great achievement of Wall's Ice Cream. Tricycle provides door to door services that is way Wall's is easily available in every where city, town, street, market etc. In tricycle the soft music continuously singing a bell witch is the identification of Wall's. Through this Wall's also make sales promotion and people oftenly made impulse buying which increases sales.

Promotion Strategies 27

Introduction The marketing mix activities of a product planning, pricing, and distribution are performed mainly within the organization or between the organization and its marketing "partners". However, with promotional activities, the firm communicates directly with potential customers. Promotion is the element in an organization's marketing mix that serves to inform, persuade, and remind the market of the organization and its products.

Promotional Methods The promotional mix is the combination of personal selling, advertising, sales promotion, publicity, and public relations that helps an organization to achieves its marketing objectives. •

Personal Selling

Personal selling is the presentation of a product to a prospective customer by a representative of the selling organization. Across all business, more money is spending on personal selling then on any other form of promotion. Its example is "SPDs" which is introduced by Wall's.

• Advertising Advertising is the promotion of product or services through wide variety of messages transmitted through different media.

• Sales Promotion Sales promotion is designed to supplement advertising. Include promotion activities as contests for sales people and consumer, trade shows, in store displays, samples, premiums, and coupons. There is a difference between advertising and sales promotion, "advertising" describes messages carried in media owned and controlled primarily by people other than the advertiser, and media controlled by the company itself carries "sales promotion" messages.

Wall's Promotional Method 28

Wall's select to promote its product, personal selling, advertising, and sales promotion. For personal selling it introduced "SPDs", for advertising, and sales promotion it used printed and electronic media. Advertisement of Wall's are eye catching and attractive. Through advertising it informs the consumer about new brands and flavors. For sales promotion Wall's introduced different Schemas which are: • • • •

In solo ice cream, one ice cream piece is free in the packet. In max-cup the Wall's gives bubble gum free. The Wall's launch the scheme for 15% extra in top ten. In family pack i-e "Polka Red Top" special discount price scheme.

Recommendation In the end we are going to give some recommendation to Wall's that how can they increase their sales and gain maximum profit. •

There is a gap in the market for Diet Ice Cream. Wall's should introduce it because they are financially strong company. Through this they can capture a big market of the people who are health conscious.

•

Wall's should increase its distribution area and should goes in that area where Wall's is not available.

•

They should continuously advertised on different media.

•

Concentrate on delicious taste not too sweet or too fruity.

•

Saving schemes should be introduced on special events like Ramazan. Through this their sale will increase.
