Recommendation

Recomendation• Strong association between “seaweed” and

Tao-Kae-Noi– The association is too strong– For products that are not related, Tao-Kae-Noi

should introduce different brand name

Recomendation• Maintain and improve brand image– Maintain the strong and favorable associations• Taste and brand name

– Differentiate the “homogeneous products” through Image ads.– Try to project and symbolize what the brand is about

other than selling the functional aspects of the products.

Recomendation• Aim at new potential segments– Tao-Kae-Noi existing customers are mostly young

adults– Have opportunity to extend the product-line and

aim at different segments• To gain additional revenue• Increase market coverage

– Tao-Kae-Noi “Roasted seaweed” and the elderly

Recomendation• Be aware of the social networks– A cheap and effective marketing tool• Reach potential customers• Can provide real time feedbacks/ interactions with the

customers

– Tao-Kae-Noi must use this tool to its maximum potential

Recomendation• Be aware of the social networks

Recomendation• Maintain and strengthen the position of Fried

seaweed • Invest in different areas• Marketing communications• Logistic• Research and development

Recomendation• There are two options for Grilled seaweed• Either invest a lot of money to stimulate

and improve market share• Or minimize investment and harvest

whatever revenue (8.03%) it generates• Minimize risk

Recomendation• Harvest money from the cash cow• Investment requirements should be low

since there is little to no market growth• Invest only to make sure that the Roasted

seaweed stay as a cash cow

Recomendation• Slowly divest the Tempura seaweed• Harvest whatever revenue it generates• Stop investing money• Slowly fade out to minimize impacts
