NESTLE Executive Summary Pakistan is an agricultural country. According to Ministry of Food, Agriculture and livestock, agriculture accounts for 20.9 percent of the GDP. Dairy industry contributes 49% to the agriculture value and 11% to the GDP. Annual production of milk is 35.25 Billion liters in the country; But the Processed milk is only 4% of the total production. Like other countries Dairy is not a dedicated profession of the people, farmers is associated with dairy and agriculture at the same time, Profitability for the farmers is very less. Infrastructure is not developed, cooling tanks and other facilities are not available, and the large part of milk production is wasted. There is a multi-hierarchal distribution system of the milk; the farmers are not getting reward of their work. All these factors are making this industry unattractive for the farmers and the industry is no developing up to the mark. Only 4% of the total milk production is processed and used in urban areas of the country. Nestle Milkpak have a great share in the different multinational companies. It is statistically calculated that Nestle Milkpak have 50% share in the Nestle company and now Nestle become the leader of all multinational companies in food products and beverages. Nestle is operating in all big cities in Pakistan and try best to provide its Products to other small cities and towns. According to Pakistan Dairy Development Authority • Only 0.52 Billion liters UHT and 0.5 Billion liters pasteurized milk is available in the country. • In urban areas 4.7 Billion liters milk is provide by Gawalas. • 1.27 Billion liters processed milk is sold by the milk shops. • There is a potential of about 5 billion liters of milk sold in the urban areas. • In urban areas people are more health and quality conscious, the income level of urban population is also good so this segment has potential for UHT and Pasteurized milk. Nestle is the world largest food company and nestle Milkpak is Nestlé’s famous UHT milk brand. Nestle Milkpak has south Asia’s biggest Plant at Kabirwala. It is targeting upper and middle class.

Hierarchical details of Marketing/ sales department Nestle is a big name and it is one of the best brand of the country having the largest market share in milk pack industry in Pakistan. It is not only one person who is marketing the milk pack everyone who is part of Nestle is marketing it. If we make the hierarchy of the marketing of Nestle Milk pack we will find out that there is a brand manager who is responsible for all activities that will take place in the marketing department under him is sub brand manager who is responsible in the absence of the brand manager. They are the top management and mostly deicide what to do and how to do. What steps should be taken to do the marketing. Under them there is a whole marketing team who work according to the instructions which they have got from the top management. These team are further divided into sub teams. All the decision regarding the T.V commercials, radio, news paper and billboards are decided by the brand manager on the advice and on the bases of statistical calculations. For example for placing a billboard all calculations are made that what size of billboard will be suitable, where should be it place so that is well seen, how much should be spend on it either it is in our budget or not. All these things are taken in account and a lot of thinking is done before applying the idea.

Market segmentation and target strategy including consumer profiling It is really a big market and it is always difficult to segment the big market. There are many uses for segmentation.
Needs Based Segmentation Milk Pack has made different sizes of tetra packs which can match the needs of buyers, ranging from 0.25 liters to 1.5 liter. Buyers can buy according to there need between these quantities.
Product Segmentation Manufacturers diversify products within each needs base to appeal to buyers with different tastes and wealth.
Customer Segmentation
Customers are segmented based on their needs and product preferences. Segments grow or shrink over time as a product improve, become outdated or tastes changes.
Global Segmentation Insurance firms and medical and legal practices also use product segmentation, and sometimes attempt to cover all the product space.
In-store Display Segmentation Nestle have also segmented Milk Pack on the bases of In- Store display segmentation. In this type of segmentation the company have given different shelves in bib stores and also given the chillers to some of the agent having the Milk Pack sticker upon them but in Pakistan unfortunately the shop keepers are not using the shelves properly and they have put other brand products on those shelves. Drug stores, grocery stores, book stores, and other retail outlets use segmentation in order to keep like products close to each other within the store, making shopping convenient and cross selling more profitable.

Market Positioning: They will position our product as a high quality product consumer focused. Messages like “They knows your taste better than us”, “Nestle Milkpak now at your door step”; “Add additional flavors’ to your life” will help us portray our picture clearly and distinctly. Milkpak will position our product against the competitors and gain competitive advantage through our efficient promotional methods, using innovations, and by reaching closer to our target market through the arrangement of events like BASANT, VALENTINE DAY and etc. In short consumers will view us as a product providing highly quality, in terms of taste, customer focused and, at the same time reasonably priced as compared to others.
Pricing strategies of Milkpak Milkpak was first launched in 1988 in Pakistan. Actually this is the Pakistani product and purchased by the Nestle Company. Price of the Milkpak set after the market survey. In this market survey the survey team want to search that how much value consumer actually wants to give this product. They provided the milk to the different people without telling them the name of the company and ask them what should be the price of this one glass milk. In this way company know the willingness of the people that how much money customer actually want to spend on that product. After this they checkout their cost on that product and after analysis they set the price of the Milkpak. After launching it in the market they again check the consumer behaviour regarding price of the Milkpak, and if consumer is satisfy with the product then they ask question to judge the behaviour of consumer that if the price of the Milkpak increased by the company then what will they do. If consumer still satisfied then they increase the price of the Milkpak. CDL have adopted value
pricing, in which they charge fairly low price for a high offering. Value pricing says that the price should represent a high-value offer to consumers. Value pricing is not a matter of simply setting lower prices on one’s products compared to competitors. A matter of reengineering the company’s operations to become a low- cost producer without sacrificing quality, and lowering prices significantly to attract a large number of value-conscious customers.
Setting price by looking the competitors The competitors of milkpak are Haleeb milk, olphars and good milk but the biggest competitor is open milk. Total requirement of milk in Pakistan is 31 billion litres in which only 3 billion litres are provided by packed milk. 28 billion litres are provided by milkmaid. So if the nestle want to set price according to their competitors then they have to set price according to the price of open milk which is not possible.
