DCP’S Licensing and Distribution Models
![Page 5: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Disney at the Supermarket DCP executives
believed that the company’s changing licensing models, retail industry consolidation and the obesity epidemic offered DCP an opportunity to simultaneously broaden and rationalize its product offerings.
![Page 6: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In winter 2004, DCP conducted research to size the food business opportunity and to discover if Disney’s brand equity would transfer to a line of children’s food products.
![Page 7: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Research FindingsThrough market research DCP discovered there was a gap between the foods children requested and the foods their mother was willing to buy for them.
![Page 8: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DCP also discovered that children influence purchase decision whether they were in store with their mothers or not.
![Page 9: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Peer pressure and advertising strongly influence kids’ preferences
![Page 10: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Kids demand products that make them ‘in’ with their peers and that means either national or character driven products.
![Page 11: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To appeal to mothers, products needed to be portion controlled, be high quality, taste good, omit or reduce fat and sugar and be requested by their children.
![Page 12: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Kids want fun graphics and shapes, good taste, and great fun. Hence the products need to make them feel special and must be non-patronizing and Mom-approved.
![Page 13: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Disney faced CRITICISM from activists, parents and government for
contributing to the growing obesity epidemic
![Page 14: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In 2004, health experts estimated that more than 30% of American children between the ages of 5 and 9 years were overweight
Growing Obesity Epidemic
![Page 15: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
14% were obese.
![Page 16: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Problem Definition
![Page 17: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Can Disney be a part of solving obesity problem and use its brand strength to
reach out to children?
Could Disney use its “magic” to switch children from sugary to more nutritious
diet?
![Page 18: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Problem Analysis
![Page 19: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Disney saw the controversy as an opportunity to reconsider its entire range of products, hence DCP embarked on a mission to improve the nutritional value of its food products
![Page 20: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
But firstly DCP managers needed to establish credibility with U.S. governments, parents and nutritionists.-a significant challenge given the company’s existing licensing deals with candy and treat manufactures.
![Page 21: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“Right now, kids eat the wrong foods—and too much of the wrong foods. The solution is to promote healthier categories for kids like water, milk, yogurt, and fruit, reformulate foods like cookies and cereal to be healthier and to control portions.”
-NDI,VP,Product Development,DCP
![Page 22: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Could Disney meet up with nutritional
guidelines set up by USDA?
![Page 23: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
USDA Dietary Guidelines
That children and adults adopt a “balanced eating pattern.” They should consume a variety of nutrient-dense foods and beverages. Limit their intake of saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars, and salt.
![Page 24: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Solution
![Page 25: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
PRODUCT PORTFOLIO

![Page 26: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Disney’s goal was to balance its portfolio so that 85% of its products could be classified as main meal, side dish, snack or beverage and only 15% could be categorized as treats.
![Page 27: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Disney’s Nutritional Guidelines
products would be minimally processed.Have controlled levels of added sugar.contain no trans or hydrogenated fats. Calories were limited by either adjusting afood’s formulation or its portion size.
![Page 28: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Disney’s Nutritional Guidelines
minimized the use of additives. set limits within the problem areas of calories, fat, added sugar and sodium.promote fiber and calcium whole foods that are intrinsically dense in nutrients.
![Page 29: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Before officially implementing its nutrition guidelines, DCP audited 2,100 of its food products and found that while 41% already complied with the guidelines, more than a quarter of its products would need to be phased out
![Page 30: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Therefore DCP began reformulating some products and shrinking portions for others; as a result, by September 2005, 75% of its U.S. products complied with its nutritional standards. The company planned to have all its products brought into compliance or phased out by 2008.
![Page 31: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
As a result of which DCP had to part ways with its licensees who could not meet with their nutritional and portion requirements.
![Page 32: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
DCP executives knew that creating foods that met tough nutritional guidelines was only half the
battle—the foods had to appeal to children and deliver on the brand’s promise of Disney magic.
![Page 33: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Disney adopted three approaches towards creating Disney Food Products
1. Take products that were already healthy and make them more FUN.
![Page 34: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
•2. Offer
Products that already had broad appeal.
![Page 35: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
•3. Use packaging to inspire product sampling.
![Page 36: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The bottom line is that the food has to taste good. Kids have to like it.“If the food is nutritious, Moms like it too. Then it is a win for everyone.”
![Page 37: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Imagination Farms Product
Disney and Imagination Farms, in March 2006 collaborated on their mission to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables among children
![Page 38: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• By June 2006, Imagination Farms was distributing peaches and grapes with Daisy Duck and Goofy stickers
• To differentiate commodities such as peaches and apples, PLU stickers were adorned with Disney characters.
![Page 39: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Product Development Strategy
• 1. Differentiate commodity
produce through promotion
DCP and Imagination Farms used a three-pronged product development strategy:
![Page 40: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Product Development Strategy
• 2. Create value-added
products through product preparation or packaging.
![Page 41: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Product Development Strategy
• 3. Develop exclusive
produce varieties that would yield more child-friendly foods.
![Page 42: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Bagged fruits and vegetables featured a back panel that provided nutritional facts, jokes and other child-engaging information. DCP and Imagination Farms tried to explain nutrients to children in a kid friendly way.
![Page 43: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Disney alone was not fighting Obesity. It had to face competition from multiple
companies.
![Page 44: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Disney and Kroger-The companies were committed toensuring that the Disney-branded products would fit
Disney’s emerging “good for you” nutritionguidelines. Together, they selected grocery categories that supported Disney’s efforts.

Pricing andbrand exclusivity were key to Disney’s
DTR strategy

Disney Magic Selections
“We wanted to use Disney’s storytelling and characters to help kids understand and internalize information—to communicate to kids in a fun, Disney way.” -Honeck,TeamLeader,DCP,grocery &drug business
![Page 52: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
In addition to DCP’s nutritionalefforts, the company made “nutritionally-beneficial
changes” to the meals served to childrenat all Disney-operated restaurants in its parks and
resorts.
![Page 53: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
“Disney will be providing healthier options for families that seek them , whether at our parks or through our broad array of licensed foods,”
- Robert Iger ,Disney President and CEO.
![Page 54: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Disney had to face it too!!!
Risk & Challenges
![Page 55: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
1. Pricing And Value
DCP managers understood that its products had to be affordable.
“We’ve conditioned the market to expect premium pricing from Disney and this is a marketing challenge for us, to go out with lower pricing,” - Leslie.
“But for these products, affordable equals value, not price.” “We have to deliver quality to represent our brand well.” ------- Mooney, President, DCP
![Page 56: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
2.LegacyThough they were confident that the products would be healthful,child-friendly and fun, they had been subject to vocal criticism in the past and expected to encounter some skepticism as a result.
This was the time to leave back the legacy
DCP’s wanted to focus on its current “Better for You” strategy rather than its legacy.
![Page 57: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
3.Differntion & Competition
DCP wasn’t first to market with fresh produce and Nickelodeon packaged products had been on the shelves
DCP managers believed that the combination of a broad product line, wide distribution and the Disney brand would win over Moms.
![Page 58: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
4.Growth & DistributionOther than its DTR relationship with Kroger Disney wanted to license or develop additional lines.
DCP managers believed that the company could differentiate additional lines using characters, brand and price.
![Page 59: Disney Consumer Products:Marketing Nutrition to Children](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5887c0d81a28ab817a8b72c1/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
“We expect competition and channel friction but we believe we can beat the competition because even if they develop and match our nutritional standards , they cannot access the Disney magic.”
-Embola Ndi,VP, Product Development,DCP
