Stages in cycleStages in cycleDevelopment – In this costly stage, money is spent on research to create a viable prototype. Introduction – The product is launched onto the market but normally sales are low due to competition and lack of awareness from the public.
Growth – Sales rise sharply as awareness increases. This is the first stage where the company starts making a profit.

Stages in cycleStages in cycle
Maturity – The product is now a market leader and ways to expand sales become more difficult. When there is an overkill of supply, this is the saturation point.
Decline – Sales begin to fall, and the product begins a slow death as trends, technology or imitators overtake it.

SolutionSolution Improve the product by adding new or additional features
customers will want, eg cameras on mobiles. Alter price, either lower or increase price to attract
customers. Change the method of advertising, move the message, eg
from TV to radio. Change the use of the product, eg Lucozade once was
used to reenergise ill people, now used as a sports drink. Introduce line extensions to the product, create new
flavours, different sizes or even alter the format like the PSP.
Change the name of the product, eg Opal Fruits to Starburst, Marathon to Snickers.
Alter the place the product is sold, offer products online to reach a wider customer base.

Generate ideas – Brainstorming session to come up with ideas. Quantity rather than quality is needed before refining the idea to something realistic.
Analysis and further research – Time and money spent on discovering what is possible and what is not. Can existing technologies be used? Or will something totally new be created?
Are the products marketable? – Will customers buy the product? Potential customers may be surveyed at this stage.

BrandingBrandingA brand is a registered trademark of a company, including the name or logo that can only be used by that company.
Branding helps create USPs (unique selling points), and via advertising and creating a positive, desirable image, build brand loyalty.
Brands promote an image of high quality, which means a premium price can be charged.

SolutionSolutionProducts in the brand range are instantly
recognisable and are uniquely different from other products.
Brand loyalty can be built up, which can lead to repeat purchases.
Brand is perceived to be of high quality, which can mean premium prices can be charged.
Makes it easier to launch new products onto the market as there is already a brand family of products.
Brand names can be expensive to build up as it takes time to achieve their reputation.
Bad publicity can affect the whole brand, which can ruin the brand’s reputation overnight.
Imitator and fake products are common, which can damage sales in the long run.

SolutionSolution Own labels require very little advertising as customers will
be normally be regular shoppers. The retailer does not need to produce the own-brand
products as they can buy them from manufacturers and re-label them.
A range of products with own labels can be sold because a brand family is established.
Some own brands can be seen as value for money and a quality product when customers look for good deals.
Own labels are cheaper to customers as the price is always lower than that of regular brands.
Whole brands can be tarnished over one product’s failure or problem. This can ruin reputation overnight.
Run the risk of imitator brands, which can damage sales.

Low price – Price lower than competitors. Only appropriate where there is a little brand loyalty and competition in the market is high.
Market price – Setting price at a similar price to competitors. Homogeneous product means that price competition is not of benefit. They compete in other areas, eg service.
High price – High-quality products, premium goods and services where image is important, such as perfumes.

Destroyer pricing – An illegal pricing tactic used to eliminate competition where a ridiculously low price is charged (sometimes at a loss) to smash competitors. Once market share is achieved, prices soar. Promotional pricing – A short-term strategy to gain media attention and renew consumer interest, eg BOGOF or loss-leader tactics. Demand-oriented pricing – When different prices are charged at different times for the same good/service based on high demand or lack of demand.

Low price – price is set lower than competitors to attract customers to their product/service.
Skimming – price is set high initially, when no competition exists. When competitors enter the market, price is lowered to market price.
Market/competitive pricing – price is set at the same level as competitors, normally used for products that are identical.

Solution (cont’d)Solution (cont’d) Penetration pricing – price is set slightly lower than competitors to
attract customers; once a customer base is established, the price is slowly increased to same as competitors
Promotional pricing – a low price is set for a short period of time to boost sales in the short term, possibly even making a loss on the product. This is often used by supermarkets to attract customers.
Destroyer pricing – price is set very low compared to competitors and once there is no competition in the market the price is then put back up to the previous level or higher. This is mainly used by larger organisations to destroy competition, as you must have large reserves to sustain this tactic over any length of time.
Cost-plus pricing – is the cost of buying in the materials with a mark-up added on.

SolutionSolutionAdvantages Saves on a number of smaller deliveries as retailers will buy in
bulk. Less money tied up in stock as the wholesaler stores the
materials. Wholesalers may label the product for the retailer, saving costs. Wholesalers break product down into smaller more saleable
sizes that can be packaged and sold by the retailer. Wholesalers can give market research direct to manufacturer,
which may affect future buying decisions.
Disadvantages Loss of control of how the product is presented because it is
normally packaged already. Lower profits as wholesaler, as intermediaries, take their cut.

MerchandisingMerchandising
• Merchandising involves making sure a firm’s products are laid out in the most enticing or attractive way possible to customers.
• Special displays, stands or posters may be given to retailers to help point-of-sale advertising.
• ‘Eye level is buy level’, for example when a new DVD comes into the local supermarket expect giant posters and cardboard cut-outs of the characters to be emblazoned around the store!

Packaging Packaging
The ‘cover’ or packaging of the product can also generate sales.
Design – the colour scheme should help make the product stand out from rivals.
Protection – is the packaging appropriate to ensure it doesn’t get damaged during distribution or when being taken home by the customer?
Information – most products sold in supermarkets have to carry labels with information on their content or to indicate if they pass the BSI quality standard.
