History

In the 1860s Henri Nestlé, a pharmacist, developed a food for babies who were

unable to breastfeed. His first success was a premature infant who could not tolerate

his mother's milk or any of the usual substitutes. People quickly recognized the value

of the new product, after Nestlé's new formula saved the child's life, and soon, Farine

Lactée Henri Nestlé was being sold in much of Europe.

1905-1918

In 1905 Nestlé merged with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. By the

early 1900s, the company was operating factories in the United States, Britain,

Germany and Spain. World War I created new demand for dairy products in the

form of government contracts. By the end of the war, Nestlé's production had

more than doubled.

1918 -1938

After the war Government contracts dried up and consumers switched back to

fresh milk. However, Nestlé's management responded quickly, streamlining

operations and reducing debt. The 1920s saw Nestlé's first expansion into new

products, with chocolate the Company's second most important activity

1938 -1944

Nestlé felt the effects of World War II immediately. Profits dropped from $20

million in 1938 to $6 million in 1939. Factories were established in developing

countries, particularly Latin America. Ironically, the war helped with the introduction



of the Company's newest product, Nescafe, which was a staple drink of the US

military. Nestlé's production and sales rose in the wartime economy.

1944 -1975

The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamic phase for Nestlé.

Growth accelerated and companies were acquired. In 1947 came the merger with

Magi seasonings and soups. Crosse & Blackwell followed in 1960, as did Findus

(1963), Libby's (1971) and Stouffer's (1973). Diversification came with a

shareholding in L’Oreal in 1974.

1975 -1981

Nestlé's growth in the developing world partially offset a slowdown in the

Company's traditional markets. Nestlé made its second venture outside the food

industry by acquiring Alcona Laboratories Inc...

1981 -1996

Nestlé divested a number of businesses1980 / 1984. In 1984, Nestlé's improved

bottom line allowed the Company to launch a new round of acquisitions, the most

important being American food giant Carnation.

1996+

The first half of the 1990s proved to be favorable for Nestlé: trade barriers

crumbled and world markets developed into more or less integrated trading areas.

Since 1996 there have been acquisitions including San Pellegrino (1997), Spillers

Pet foods (1998) and Ralston Purina (2002). There were two major acquisitions in

North America, both in 2002: in July, Nestlé merged its U.S. ice cream business

into Dreyer's, and in August, a USD 2.6bn acquisition was announced of Chef

America, Inc.

Basis for Segmentation

Geographic Segmentation

Geographic segmentation approach markets are divided into different units these units may include nations states, countries or even may neighborhood consumer often have different buying habits depending upon where thy reside Geographically Nestle has been very successful in targeting those areas where its competitors are not easily available. So Nestle Delight will have an advantage over its competitors in this case of all purpose milk. Nestle can use its current supply chain to deliver the milk to its target markets. A large segment belongs to the northern and rural areas of Pakistan will be covered by Nestle because of strong distribution network. There is a gap in the supply cycle of milk in some critical situations when shortage occurs due to short of raw material supply.

Demographic Segmentation

Dividing the market in the basis of demographic variables such as age sex, family size, education, income, and social classes are called demographics segmentationsNestle is currently targeting house wives, people of all ages especially growing children on basis of its purest form of milk.

Pricing

In the second ‘P’ pricing we have observed that Nestle is continuously increasing its prices as compared to its competitors mostly in other products like Lactogen, Cirilac, Cream and products which a number of customers use rarely so some times he feel uncomfortable when he compares the prices which were sometime before eg.Every Day Tea whiter is one of the major examples some items the customers claims that after every new supply of the product the prices increases. The different cost are used in managerial analysis in managerial analysis like AVC, ATC, FC, VC, MC are all the prices which are involved in production process of a product. So we wil l concentrate on these factors very much.

There are two main types of price set t ing: Penetration Approach Price Skimming Approach

PENETRATION APPROACH I t is an approach in which we set a price f i rs t ly low and then

as demand increases we increase the price of the product . This approach is used for competi t ion base pricing. In such a market posi t ion when product is at i ts peaky demand then some of customers become brand loyal they prefer to purchase prescribed brand products only .

SKIMMING APPROACHI t is an approach which is used for pure monopolist ic

product / service. In this approach f irs t ly we set the highest prices and then gradually decreases the price of the product / service as any subst i tute product / service come into the market Or demand of our product decrease. In countries l ike Pakistan public is not of the level that they can pay any price demanded by



the f i rm so sometimes such kinds of pricing strategies cause fai lure of the product .

We are going to use the penetrat ion approach due to presence of our competi tors in a market due to this reason we can say that this is competi tor base pricing. However we can claim our standard that we are the best price takers (refers the si tuat ion in which producer claims that we are best price takers.)

Now we discuss some thing about placement at public sector for example super stores and convenience stores. Placement requires very attention because in the absence of improper placement the product will become out of market. Nestle prefers two channel marketing system more as compared to marketing systems such as zero channel and single channel. Structure of two channel market system is as fol lows.

PROMOTION

Promotion activities play an important role in re-launching any product. Increase in target market is possible by personal selling. It includes persons in retail stores telling the benefits to potential customers about importance of milk in standard packed form. Awareness plays the most important role. They should taste house wives on different places. Because thy are the main servers of such kind of nutritional diets to their family membersTV commercials and Bill Boards should be planned to advertise properly

Determining the Promotional Methods

There are various promotional methods like personal selling, advertising, sales promotions, public relations etc. but the method adopted by Nestlé for introducing Nestlé UHT Milk was advertising, outdoor printed media for advertising like hording boards, new papers, posters etc.Nestlé attracted the existing customer of the imported brands and potentials customers through its advertising campaign.

In their campaign, Nestlé mostly focus the small children who are the major portion of our society and milk and such kinds of Products are basic requirement of grooming children that the reason Nestle launched Nesvita Milk especially designed for growing children because introduction of calcium diets in daily diet chart is basic requirement.To remind the consumers about the product, Nestlé also made some special racks for retailers and put them on their outlets and as compared to other milk selling companies existing in the country Nestle shows always convincing messages to realize customers that always drink milk but only I pure form .

RE – LAUNCHING

After thoroughly analyzing the reasons of presence of large number of competitors Nestle decided to re-launch it product with new packing and new statement “DOOD KI KHALIS GAZAIAT”It was an opportunity for Nestle to capture the market in such a way that it will over come it’s all the discrepancies such as shortage, inflation based pricings which gave an opportunity to the competitors to capture the market.

Here is an example of their billboards and rotary plan

Nestle has placed more than 100 billboards across the roads. They have put on different skins of them, which are showing different situations in which people are using pure water. According to the NESTLE they use heavy outdoor advertisement to remind people about the availability of their product because it is a product for which people never pre plan to purchase it so to motivate them for the purchase of Nestle Milk Pack they have to place billboards. Beside this they rotate the skins of their billboards after few months the reason for this is that people loose interest in those skins when they see it for a long time so when they rotate them n place the new one that create the interest among the people.

Sample View



DIRECT MARKETING & SALES PROMOTION

NESTLE TAKES OVER MURREE HILLS

Murree Hills draw enormous crowds from all over Pakistan in the summers. In a bid to beat the heat in the lush and beautiful surroundings, men, women and children throng this big and most popular hill station. Those who came to Murree this summer were in for a pleasant surprise.

The brand and sales promotion teams of the North Zone had put together an effective outdoor campaign. The road to Murree was awash with billboards, shop signs, shop boards, branded umbrellas, stands, shop paintings, wall paintings, POS materials, regular merchandising, cross road signs, product sampling and sticker sampling. The activity created a remarkable impact and the visitors were impressed.



Billboards



SourceIt can be assumed that all communication has a source. The source provides the purpose for communication. This source should consist of ideas, needs intentions, information and purpose. Here in this billboard the source is:

Nestle (The Company)

Encoding

Translating the source into a code requires encoding. Encoding develops the information from the source into a code. Here in this billboard they are encoding that:

The Milk they are providing is so pure that it led you live a long healthy life because it provides you the real energy and calcium’s.

They focus on the youngster who looks so fresh after having the Nestle Milk Pak drinking habit.

Nestle is the one who helps children to grow have purest form of energy and all the calcium, vitamin, phophours which are the basic requirement for growing children.

Message

An encoded document would then express the purpose or message of the source, the message being that body of information necessary for sufficient graphic communication. Here in this billboard the message is:

“DOODH KI KHALIS GIZAIT”



Channel

The medium or carrier of the message would be the channel. It is correct to say that messages can exist only in some channel; however, the choice of channels is often an important factor in the effectiveness of communication. Here the channel is billboard.

Receiver

The receiver is the target of the communication. Mass Market is targeted as everyone milk in daily life in different needs. Youngsters are prominent in the ad but they are using as symbol of fitness by using Nestlé Milk.

Decoding

The receiver must have a set of skills and abilities necessary to decode information into a usable format. Just as a source needs encoding to translate the purpose into a message, the receiver needs a decoder to understand the message. Here in this billboard the decoding is:

Natural Beauty Healthy & Attractive Skin Fresh Energetic Bright Faces

Noise/Interference

Unfortunately, this tidy package of communication tends to break-down when subjected to the nemesis of all communication environments, interference. Interference is the undesired outside influence that tends to prevent the completion of effective communication. It is capable of occurring at any level or stage in the process. The goal of any communication is to eliminate or minimize interference.

In case of billboard we can only consider the traffic signal as source of noise.



Response/Feedback:

The effectiveness of a communication is assessed when the source receives a response. The response can be in many forms. Hopefully, the response or feedback is premeditated and desirable. The feedback can be a tangible product of the communication and can lend itself to easy evaluation.

We like to buy Nestlé’s Milk because its purest form of milk.



Advertising Research:

A subset of marketing research, advert ising research is the systematic gathering and analysis of information to help develop or evaluate advertising strategies, ads and commercials and media campaigns.

Following are the types of the advertising research

Quantitative Research Qualitative Research

Quantitative Research

Advertisers use quantitative research to measure market situation in hard number. 3 basic methods to collect quantitative data are

Observation Experiment Survey

Nestle use this research method to get the results about their advertisement research.

Qualitative Research

Qualitative research seeks in depth, open ended responses, not yes or no answers to get people to share their thoughts and feelings. This research is used more often to give advertisers a general impression of the market, the customer, or the product. The methods used in qualitative research are usually described as Projective Techniques

Nestle do both type of research. They do on going research whole year

and on the basis of the results they make their decision for the future.

FEEDBACK & EVALUATING RESULTS

At the end of every month there is a meeting for evaluation of results and to act on the feedback. The performance if not +, leads toward change in strategies.

Conclusion

To put the pre-going discussion in a nut-shell. It can be safely be ventured to opine that our company has much potential at that time but if we use the above strategy in proper manner we easily conclude that we will be able to lead the companies in the Pakistan and abroad. However there are some discrepancies in such sectors so we can realize that all the features that are involved directly or indirectly in the production are working properly at their positions. Nestle transparency in the Milk price and the marked increase in the fresh milk delivered to its factories is forcing the hands of competitors to progressively adapt to new imparitives.As for Pakistani customers but In all over the world. Speaking for Nestle Milk Pack is the evident that the company has benefited its regular customer on the basis of quality and originality. Thus the story of Nestle in Pakistan provides a good example of successful joint venture between local companies Milk Pack Ltd. And a foreign company Nestle. It is also an example of win win-partnership between a company Nestle Milkpak Ltd and all of its suppliers in raw material.

In addition Nestle transparency in the milk prices and the marked quality increase in the fresh milk deliver to its factories are forcing the hands of the competitors to progressively adapt to the new imparities.

Speaking for Nestle milkpak it is evident that the company has benefiting for the spectacular development of its factories in the milk district sales of finished products in UHT milks , yogurts ,milk powder ,infantformulas,milk base cereals reached in 2004 compare to sales.After taking an overview of the strategies of Nestle we can easily understand the successful journey of Nestle Milkpak in all factors of advertisement and proper awareness abut its products to the customers before launching and after launching. Also evaluates the response and feedback of customers on basis or its advertisement research.
