6.3. Advertising StrategyThere’s a growing tendency to use viral clip to promote products instead of traditional TVC because oflower cost and inspirational message such as Thailand TVC. Therefore, it is possible for E-mask tobecome a pioneer in mask market to promote products via one of the most popular media channel:Youtube.Targe audience: youth aged from 18-25Concept: You Only Live OnceExcecution time: From April to JuneChannel: YoutubeIdea: Every moment passing is valuable. You just have one life to live, so cherish every moment toenjoy happiness and don’t regret about what you have done the key of happiness.Description:The main character is a girl, who is a student in university. The scene begins when she had a quarrel withher parents about her career orientation.Her parents wanted her to inherit family business, so forced herto become a business woman while her dream job is to be a tour guide.

Then she left the house and take a couch no matter where it goes. During the coach, she felt dizzy andvomit becaused of car sickness while others did not. Afterwards, it turns out to be that travellers on coachwere volunteers in a charity campaign named YOLO to remote area in order to help orphan children.After 5 days living with the group and the native people, she thought a lot about meaning of life. On the

day coming back to the city, she was given a mask (E-mask) from her new friend in the YOLO team andfeel very well during the rest of the journey.

6.4.Distribution Strategy

6.4.1. Customer analysis and distribution channel

First of all, E-mask is the special product, which is especially focused on those who regularly travel andsensitive to car smell. According to the survey conducted in sample 148 shown in previous part, there areup to 89,2% people choosing pharmacy as an expecting place to buy the product, followed by conveniencestores (66,2%) and coach station (24,3%) respectively. Based on these statistics, it would be better forNeovision to build an appropriate distribution channel systems effectively to optimize costs,maximize thesales and boost promotional activities easily.

With a view to combining factors drawn from the bar chart, it is good to use 2-level distribution channel

including : producer, wholesalers and retailers, which is very essential in order to increase sales volume,

such as pharmacy, coach station, wholesales. Placing and selling masks in these locations will be a good

opportunity to expand selling channels. Besides, Neovision can directly sell products to consumers

through Neovion online shopping website.

Page 24: E-MASK _Basic marketing-plan_22.5.2016_finale

6.4.2. Distribution system

In the illustrations of distribution channel of E-mask, products after finished from OEM (appendix 1)are

transported into wholesales, retailers and then to end-users or can be directly accessed to consumers from

producers by online shopping website.

6.4.3. Distribution plan in 2 next years

According to Product Life Cycle (Appendix 4 ) , distribution strategy of E-mask will be executed :

In the introduction stage, there's heavy marketing activity, product promotion and the product is put into

limited outlets in a few channels for distribution. Sales take off slowly in this stage. The need is to create

awareness and build up using behaviours, not profits. Hence, E-mask products is intended to be distributed

to a coach brand at coach station, serving free for travellers on coach as add-in service besides tissues and

bottled water (about 2500 masks released for sampling, the coach brand such as Phuong Trang will be

offered a certain amount of masksin the first 3 months) in order to get feedback from customers, while

executing PR activitiies to educate customers.

In the growth stage, when customers know more about E-mask, Neovision will distribute products to

pharmacy in the surroundings of coach station (Mien Dong, Mien Tay) , and activate promotional

activities (booth activation, leaflets, POSM, PR,…) and support Phuong Trang sell products for travellers

on coach with lower price if possible.

In the majurity stage, sales grow at slowing rates and finally stabilize. In this stage, products get

differentiated, price wars and sales promotion become common and a few weaker players exit. So the

Page 25: E-MASK _Basic marketing-plan_22.5.2016_finale

25

25

company have to expand distribution channels to take as much share as possible along with advertising

and discounts.

In the decline stage, sales drop, as consumers may have changed, the product is no longer relevant or

useful. Price wars continue, several products are withdrawn and cost control becomes the way out for

most products in this stage. Therefore, the effective solution for company at this time is lauching a new

products, innovate the current products or expand beyond target market such as Da Nang, Can Tho, Binh

Duong, not in HCMC anymore.

6.4.4. Policy for wholesales

• Attractive discount: 20-30%

• Advertising, free media: when progamming

• Support and free shipping

• Easy product returns: after 10 days

• Reward for the agent reaching monthly sales target: SIM card, voucher, gold.

• Testing regularly : responsible for checking retailer’s knowledge about products for a certain

amount of times. The retailers which pass the test will get vouchers.

6.5. Pricing Strategy

6.5.1. Target-return pricing and breakeven point:

1. Total investment : 675.000.000VND

2. ROI: 20% Expected profit : 135.000.000VND

3. Total fixed cost: 450.000.000VND

4. Expected unit sales: 150.000units

5. Variable cost per unit: 1500VND/unit

6. Total average variable cost: 225.000.000VND

7. Average profit per unit: 900VND/unit

8. Monthly target revenue : 50.000.000VND (about 9260units sold)

Unit cost = Variable cost + fixed cost/ unit sales

= 1500 + 450000000/150000 = 4500 (floor price)

Selling price = Avarage cost +

= 4500 + 20% 675000000150000 = 5400VND (Price for wholesales)

Breakeven point = − = 4500000005400−1500 = 115384( )Breakeven revenue = breakeven point * Unit price = 115384 x 5400 = 623.073.600VND

Breakeven time = revenue/ monthly target revenue = 623073600 : 50.000.000 = 12,46 (month)

Therefore, if the quantity of masks consumed in the first year is lower than 115384 units, there will be a

loss and the enterprise will get profit when there are more than 115384 masks sold.

6.5.2. Recommended price for E-mask

The recommened final price for E-mask at pharmacy at average of 7500VND, not excess the

floor price 8000VND.

6.5.3. Quality leadership Strategy:

As being shown in perceptual map and the table showing pricing strategies based on relationship betweenprice and quality, Neovision choose the product-leadership strategy, which is high in quality at a mediumprice, lower than normal cloth mask but higher than activated-carbon paper masks. The reason to belief isthat Neovision monopolized on technology to produce masks with special components and the role as apioneer in niche market as well.

10. ANTICIPATED RESULTS

Expected profit : 135.000.000VND

Administration expenses: 50.000.000VND

Expected unit sales: 150000units

Monthly target profit : 50.000.000VND

Breakeven point = = = 115384( )Breakeven revenue = breakeven point * Unit price = 115384 x 5400 = 623.073.600VND

Breakeven time = revenue/ avarage monthly revenue = 623073600 : 50.000.000 = 12,46 (month)

As we can see, it take 12 months to breakeven we expect to achieve a market share of five percent

and sales of about 623 million in the first year. The E-mask project will break-even in the first year. We

do not expect any Mask technology breakthroughs during this period. Competition is expected to be

based on design, price, and achieving widespread distribution, areas in which we expect to be very

competitive.

10.CONTINGENCY PLANIf the competition increases advertising or our sales are less than expected, we are prepared to add as

much 150 million dong (20% investment) to our advertising budget so that we can push more sales andbrand awareness.In case the company can reach the expected target revenue and face financial crisis (loss over 30%) wewill postpone promotional campaigns and cut operartional and variable cost. In the event of failure inpricing strategy, we will conduct a survey to research customers and change the strategy into perceivedvalue pricing.
