Analysis &
Strategies
8
• Poor commercial team size initially• In period 3, didn’t know how to use
the loan sanctioned• In period 4, price of Loop was
reduced drastically- Professionals are not price sensitive.
• Budget too little for so many products
Mistakes
• Focused on developing a product for every segment
• Decision to focus on our prime product (Losh) pays off
• Decision to modify Lock and take advantage of its brand awareness works
• SPI dips only in one period (6th), growth in every other period
Positives
What We Did??

Key Marketing TAKEAWAYS
Have one product for ONLY one
segment.
Create demand for your products and fulfill them too. In our case, our competitors
took advantage of our advertizing.
Commercial Teams are as
crucial as advertizing
spend. Demand creation can only be met by sales
staff.
Always think of 2-3 periods ahead. Foresight saves nasty surprises.
The first thought that strikes you
is the first thought that strikes your
competitor too. That is the
reason why great strategies fail,
because they are duplicated by other players.

Recommendations for the future to the new management team on what strategies they should
pursue
The market size is increasing by approx 30% for Sonites and aprox 330% for Vodites
The savers segment is increasing to 48% and the shoppers segment to 37% in the next 5 years.
Over the next 5 years the shoppers segment on an average increases by 5.8% while the savers are increasing by 10.9%.
The other segments are reducing and hence the above said 2 segments can be targeted to get the maximum returns.
Set targets for market shares well in advance and try to stick to them.
11
Commercial teams should be allocated in such a way so that maximum sales can be availed from the various avenues: Mass Merchandisers, Specialty Stores and Online Stores.
With unlimited budget, comes unlimited responsibility. Always remember that advertizing is an expense that will ultimately be deducted from the revenues to get the EBIT. Spend prudently when you have unlimited budget.
Customize each product for a particular segment and price it accordingly. Avoid cannibalization of products.
The advertising expenditure and commercial team size needs to be competitive with respect to the market.
Don’t copy your market leader, but mark his moves.
