Supreme Black Brew

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Unilever (Pakistan) Limited Formerly known as Lever Brothers (Pakistan) Limited is by far the largest and most experienced fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) organization in Pakistan. It’s beverages accounted for 40% of 2002 revenues. The major tea brands are Brooke Bond Supreme, Lipton Yellow Label, Pearl Dust and A-1 Karak Chai (formerly A-1 Kenya mixture chai). Unilever has a dominant 35% market share in tea industry and is the leading player in the packaged tea market. Unilever is very sensitive to international tea prices, this makes the margins very sensitive as tea purchases constitute about 45% of manufacturing costs. Then of course smuggling is a major concern. There is rampant smuggling of tea, which has seriously affected Lever's sales and earnings. However, company owns two of the most widely recognized brands 'Lipton Yellow Label' and 'Brooke Bond Supreme'. The major competition facing Lever at present is from Tapal Danedar Tea, which is truly the market challenger. Brooke bond Supreme is one of the most popular brands which has the major market share in Punjab and most of the rural Pakistan, but it hasn’t proved to be successful in Karachi because there are already established brands competing against Supreme. As this product lies in high involvement category and strong brand conviction, very few percentage of the target market has tried the brand despite of high image of the product. Intensive advertising and promotional schemes have been launched but did not enticed prospects to even try the product. Brooke Bond supreme is weak in its assortment and it conveys low quality image from its packaging and labeling. Secondly Karachiites prefer strong and aromatic blend where Supreme is not prevailing either. Brooke bond Supreme has run out of options although there is a realization that newer brands takes time to establish but there is a deficiency in its assortment and its nature of blend which doesn’t match with the preferences of target market (Karachi) and leaving the brand as it is means that the market share will decrease over time and soon it will be vanished from the market. On the other hand altering the product according to the geographic region and preferences of people and using the brand name to gain a competitive

edge will result in a reasonable market share and a success in a failed product which is also ruining the image in populace’s psyche.

In Pakistan, tea is only blended and packed, but not produced. Three basic categories of tea are marketed in Pakistan which are: -Mixture -Danedar -Chura Danedar is also known as leaf tea while Chura is known as dust tea. There are around five hundred flavors available in tea. The rural areas of Sindh are considered to be heavy consumers of dust tea. Punjab has a high consumption of leaf tea. It has more consumption than any other type of drink available in the market today. It is estimated that Pakistanis consume over 130 million kg of tea worth over 4 billion rupees every year. Despite the increasing emphasis on its hazardous effects on health and the continuously rising prices, due to the low literacy rate and unavailability of a better substitute, the demand and the consumption has increased over the years and is growing at an annual rate of 6%. Tea is an aromatic stimulant, containing various polyphenois, essential oils and caffeine. The concentration of caffeine in tea ranges from 2.5% to 4.5% and it is this caffeine content that makes tea a useful stimulant. Although second to coffee in commercial value, tea ranks 1st as the most popular beverage in the world. Tea is the beverage made when the processed leaves of the tea plant are infused with boiling water. Native to Southeast Asia, the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, is a small shrublike, evergreen tree. It's leaves have the chemicals, caffeine and tannin.

COMPANY BACKGROUND Unilever was created in 1930 when the British soap maker Lever Brothers merged with the Dutch margarine producer, Margarine Unie. At the time, an international merger was an unusual move. But the owners of the two companies could see that bringing together complimentary businesses with strong global networks would create new opportunities. Unilever (Pakistan) Limited Formerly known as Lever Brothers (Pakistan) Limited is by far the largest and most experienced fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) firm in Pakistan. It enjoys a very large market share in consumer goods, the lions

share even, and is particularly dominant in tea and ice-cream. The largest competitor of Unilever in Pakistan is Procter & Gamble which also is a house hold name in consumer goods all over the world. Unilever’s principal activities are to manufacture and sell spreads and cooking products, ice cream, beverages and home and personal care products. Some of the products in the unilever line are Brooke Bond, Lipton, Lux, Rexona, Sunsilk, Surf, Blue Band and Planta.

RELAUNCH OF BROOKE BOND SUPREME The recent failure of Brooke Bond supreme is the prime reason for re launching Brooke Bond supreme in Karachi. The major reasons for the failure of Brooke Bond supreme is credited to the taste preferences of People of Karachi and to the major competitions that Brooke Bond is facing from

Supreme Black Brew

Tapal Danedar, Tapal Family Mixture and from Lipton Yellow Label which is the family brand of Unilever along with Brooke Bond supreme.

Reasons Of Failure: Brooke Bond supreme is one of the leading tea brands all over Pakistan but the sales in Karachi have been very poor since its introduction. The major reason of it is : •

The major concern which prevails in the tea industry is the blend itself, and because of the preferences variation of people of different parts of Pakistan, one single tea can not be introduced country wide without any alterations. After being successful in Punjab, when Brooke Bond Supreme was launched in Karachi it was not altered, which resulted in the failure of the product



People of Karachi prefer Danedar tea more then any other tea because of the aromatic smell. This is the prime reason of the success of Tapal Danedar in Karachi.



Another reason that can be cited for the failure of Brooke Bond is the fierce competition it is facing from Tapal and Lipton Yellow Label. Tapal have the upper edge over Brooke Bond is because of the quality of the tea and with different assortments it has covered the shelf space. On the other hand Brooke Bond supreme just have 2 different pack sizes.

Introduction of SUPREME BLACK BREW Brooke Bond supreme have been re launched only in karachi considering the large potential market and penchant of the target market, we have

executed the concept of multi-brands and launched Supreme as ‘Supreme Black Brew’ in Karachi. The name Black Brew has been kept to catch the eyes of people of Karachi who prefer their tea strong and aromatic. ‘Black’ gives an image of Strong and ‘Brew’ comes from beverage which relates to the aroma of the tea. Supreme Black Brew have been re launched with many different assortments along with heavy advertisements and promotional schemes as it is the only way it will entice the people to try it, who as of now are faithful to Tapal and Lipton. Supreme Black Brew has been re launched with different assortments to cover the shelf space to catch the people’s eyes. The different assortments are: Small Pack:

100 grams

Family Pack:

250 grams

Plastic Jars

400 grams

Tea Bags

Stir Ready Stir Ready is the pioneer in its category and have been launched for the first time. It is as its name suggests ‘Stir Ready’. A tea bag is attached to a spoon which you stir and drink at the same time with more convenience and ease.

CURRENT MARKETING SITUATION

Supreme Black Brew

Market Situation The tea industry of Pakistan constitutes the target market of nearly half of the population and yearly consumption is 130,000 tons. And the consumption rate is still accelerating at a fast pace, accumulates to be 6% annually. The populations of tea Consumers represent the income level and area of residence which constitute of upper middle class in volume of 1,950,000, middle class in volume of 5,200,000, lower middle class in volume of 3,900,000, lower class 1,300,000, calculated in percentage as 15%, 40%, 30%, and 10% respectively. The preference of buyers shows the concern in quality, aroma, strong ness and the nature of tea type. Normally the buying decision of tea is taken by household women aged between 30 to 60. This category belongs to the dissonance reducing buying behavior where there are not many varieties or differences are there however the involvement in the product is high. Due to the humid weather and the hectic lifestyle, tea works as an effective stimulant. Another reason for tea being a popular stimulant is that coffee, a close substitute of tea is comparatively expensive which most people cannot afford.

Supreme Black Brew

Competitive Situation Unilever owns two of the most widely recognized product lines Lipton and Brooke Bond. The major competition facing Lever at present is from Tapal Danedar Tea, who is truly a market challenger. Lipton comprises of Yellow Label which is designed for upper middle, upper lower and upper middle class, which is a market leader in the industry, it comes in all the packages including hard packs, jars, and teabags. Lipton yellow label although the direct competitor of Brooke Bond Supreme comes in the family of Unilever so it is prone to its competing attacks. Lipton follows a massive promotion scheme to hold its share. Richbru is designed for middle and lower upper classes, and Pearl dust is designed for rural areas, mostly districts of Sindh where consumption of dust is extensive. They both are not stated as direct competitors of Supreme because they are targeting to different audience. Lipton has a market share of 25%. Brooke Bond comprises of Supreme and A1 karak Tea which is designed for lower classes, originally known as Kenya mixture and then A1 Kenya mixture. Brooke Bond has a market share of 9%. Tapal with the assortments like Danedar and Family mixture collectively has a market share of 22% overall and in Karachi it has 24%. Tapal is not only a direct competitor but can be stated as a only competitor because all the major market share holders belong to the family of Unilever except Tapal. Tapal also comes in various packages and consumes much of the shelf space in super markets and convenient stores. Tapal has the biggest advantage of its assortments as is served not only by mixture but also Danedar which is getting very popular day by day. Tapal has a good image in consumer’s mind and its price is also reasonably attractive. A sizable portion of the market is dominated by loose tea or unbranded tea. However, these brands are currently threatened by smuggled tea from Afghanistan which is available in the open market duty free. This has posed a lot of problems for genuine importers of tea who cannot compete with this tea because of its low price. These unbranded teas have the biggest market share of 40% because of its low price. The other brands including Sohni, Kohinoor, and Ispahani etc constitute the market share of 2% in Karachi.

Distribution Situation This is the perfect example of two-level channel distribution which would be from the manufacturer to the distributor to the retailer. Normally the margin of distributor ranges from 8 to 10 percent per pack and the margin associated for retailer is 6 to 7 percent per pack. Although it differs from company to company and brand to brand because of the variation of the sizes and quantity disparity. Although established brands like Tapal and Lipton do intensive distribution which has a major draw back of price wars and image of the product sacrifices as it can be found in lower class geographical localities.

Supreme Black Brew

Macro Environment Situation Due to the natural environment, Tea is not produced in Pakistan, but only blended and packed. It is imported from Kenya, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, China, Bangladesh, India and other countries. Agents in these countries purchase it from auction and export it to Pakistan. They work on commission basis, usually ten cents per kg. Unilever (Lipton) in order to get backward integration is experimenting in Swat and Mansera to produce tea. Although no significant results have been achieved, they are still trying. If they get successful all the products lie in the family of Unilever will enjoy the lowered prices of tea without having to pay the import duty which will win a competitive edge in terms of cost leadership. The legal environment posses some of the problems like Tea sales have continued to suffer from rampant smuggling of tea. Lever presently pays more than 80% as taxes on imported tea. This has made tea smuggling attractive. Not only unbranded tea but also established brands are also threatened by smuggled tea from Afghanistan which is available in the open market duty free. This has posed a lot of problems for genuine importers of tea who cannot compete with this tea because of its low price. The Socio-cultural environment plays a very massive role in tea industry because the choices and preferences of people in different provinces are varied to a great extent. In interior Sindh and Balochistan, there are heavy consumers of Dust tea, Punjab likes mixture and in Karachi Danedar is exceedingly popular.

OPPORTUNITY AND ISSUE ANALYSIS SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths •

The recent alteration results in Strong blend backed up by even stronger brand image.



The packaging is very attractive, first time tea has been introduced in brown packaging



Unique sizes have been introduced for various segments including teabags, stir ready.



To compete with Tapal Brooke Bond has also launched its assortments in mixture and Danedar.



IBL distribution company, although charges high commission charges, offers efficient service in which it is made sure that product will be widely distributed, retailers will not experience shortage of products and the name IBL increases more value of the product.

Weakness •

It is a product being introduced in an already existing tea market with established brands.

Brand Management

13

Supreme Black Brew



No competitive advantage can be brought in this industry. Only massive advertising and promotional activities may entice consumer for trial.

Opportunities •

The consumption of tea increases with the growth in population. At the moment, the population of the country is growing at a rate of 2.9% annually, and tea at a rate of 6%. This means that presently there is a considerable opportunity for the growth of tea in Pakistan.



The initial re-launch of Brooke Bond Supreme is limited to Karachi only, however, other principle cities will be taken into account in the future. Specially in Punjab mixture blend can be introduced under the brand name of Supreme. Slowly, Supreme will penetrate the market in other cities and expand its future market share.



Unilever is trying to produce tea in Pakistan. If this is successful, then much lower prices will be offered to consumers and competitive advantage can be gained in terms of cost leadership.

Threats •

A rigorous threat is the increasing number of branded and unbranded tea in the market with ample price difference. For that, established companies need to increase their advertising and promotional budget. There is a need to get a better shelf space and more retailer patronization for the company's brand.

Brand Management

14

Supreme Black Brew



Unilever presently pays 80% as taxes on imported tea. This rise in import duty on tea by government is intended to discourage it's consumption, which possess to be a threat as it has resulted in higher prices for the consumers.

ISSUES ANALYSIS •

The market share of Brooke Bond Supreme in Karachi is decreasing day by day, would it be more suitable for the company to divest Supreme in Karachi and continue with Brooke Bond A1 tea.



If the decision has been made to re-launch Supreme, would it be reasonable to re-launch it countrywide.



Because of expensive shelf spaces in popular stores, would it be advisable for Brooke bond to introduce new Packages and bear additional costs or would it be more profitable for long term to introduce more packages and increase choice for end consumer.



Is it possible that the market share of Lipton (which comes in the family of Unilever) will be cannibalized by Brooke Bond Supreme which operates in almost the same target market as of Lipton, instead of gaining the share of Tapal.



The Brooke Bond that is being launched only in Karachi will differ from the rest, so would it create any discrepancies in consumers mind and disrupt the positioning or image of the product.

Brand Management

15

Supreme Black Brew



Should price be set on the basis of competitor’s prices, premium on quality, or desired margin schemes.



Advertising and promotional vehicles should be different than before as there is an integration of upper segments have been included (super segments).

Marketing Objectives



Achieve target sales of 4000 kg/day. The strategy used to accomplish this objective would be to advertise by using all media vehicles selected, which will position Brooke Bond supreme to be the best quality beverage among target market.



After six months strategy of supreme will shift from selective distribution to intensive distribution slowly, there by maximizing the number of retailers.



Once the awareness has been created, the main objective will be to increase the market share. The aim will be to achieve an increase in the market share of approximately 15% in the first year.



Producing a positive cash flow hence increasing the growth rate of Brooke Bond will be another objective.

MARKETING STRATEGY Overview •

According to our research target market in Karachi prefer Danedar and that is the reason why Tapal Danedar is so popular. So Supreme will be launched in both mixture and Danedar.



The pricing of our product gives us an advantage in the market compared to our competitors, as most brands are priced at Rs.46.



Introductory pricing will be offered for three months for Rs.36 (no profit basis).



There will be heavy advertisements done on supreme along with sales promotional schemes both for the consumers and the retailers. The aim will be to create awareness in the people and to induce them in trials of Supreme Black Brew.



Many assortments of Supreme will be taken out to cover the shelf space and hence creating awareness which will increase the choice and chance at the part of consumers.

The rural areas of Sind are considered to be heavy consumers of dust tea. Punjab has a high consumption of leaf tea. According to our research target market in Karachi prefer danedar and that is the reason why tapal danedar is so popular. So Supreme will be launched in both mixture and Danedar. Because of the high brand awareness of Brooke Bond Supreme, It can not be changed during relaunch but if major alterations. However two different product mixes for same brand in different cities may lead to confusionand discrepancy, so concept of multi brands has been executed. The new name will be Supreme Black Brew which communicates the benefits of the product such that the product is strong in its blend and comes with two assortments demanded by the target market.

The company is using a two-level channel, where Company will hire a distributor who will work on commission basis and further more the distributor will sell the product to customer which will ultimately be sold to end-consumers. That is the channel of distribution would be from the manufacturer to the distributor to the retailer. The distributor that we have decided upon is International Brands Limited (IBL). In first six months the Brooke Bond will use selective distribution technique where retailers will only be selected for distribution according to the geographical regions, where the existence of target market is at large

Reward power will be excercised with retailes that is the the margin per pack will increase for different range of sales volume. Lajawaab employees the push strategy as it offers the distributor a margin of Rs 4 on each box of 250 grams. Similarly, the retailers are offered Rs 3 on each box of 250 grams. This margin is comparatively high as compared to our competitors. Within Karachi some of the major areas that will be covered are as follows: Clifton, Defence, Tariq Road, PECHS, Bahadurabad, KDA Scheme1, Saddar, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Nazimabad and Garden.

In initial six months price will be slightly higher than other brands so to increase the prestige of the product, but after that schemes will be introduced like 10% free which enhances the affordability and does not instigate a price decrease which may result in the change of perception in consumer’s mind. N that can happen either in form of loss of quality or loss of sales.

Supreme employes the push strategy as it offers the distributor (IBL) a margin of Rs 3.5/- to Rs 4/- on each Pack. Similarly, the retailers are offered Rs 2.5/- to Rs 3/- on each Pack. This margin is comparatively high as compared to our competitors.

The objective is to increase the sales ,
