Ice-Fili sells a product that is not only a leader in its market share, but truly a product made of value to bring success. Our overall corporate focus will be to reorganize our infrastructure to increase productivity and efficiency. We will form a strategy to keep our consumers during the troubling economic times. To do this we will devote a larger portion then ever to our marketing and advertising budget.

Targeting the right market during Financial Crisis

By selling a product that is among the cheapest in our Russian market we will be targeting our traditional and low cost market segments versus our competitors who are targeting higher end market segments. With the economy suffering if we lower our costs in production and manufacturing we will be able to lower cost by only 10%, which will not turn barely any consumers away. By producing our products as single-portion packaging we will be able to target the lower end

We will establish ourselves as the only all natural-milk based ice cream product in Russia that is targeting the traditional market. By putting our product in a 1950’s style packaging we will trigger emotions in our consumers of happier times when the economy was good. Our overall budget will still remain less then our competitors at $500,000 since we heavily rely on word of mouth, which has contributed to our success up to now. Our strategy will still target both the traditional and low-cost market by advertising on public television and in lower end stores and social

    Dippin’ dots, the company operates in a highly competitive ice cream market, one which is characterised by so many rivals producing very similar products, with big names like Nestle of Switzerland and Unilever PLC of London and Rotterdam. But dippin’ dots, however, has managed to differentiate their products distinctively from what is being offered in the market. Its method of production highly favours mass production and storage in volumes of the ice cream which, on one hand, serves as competitive advantage as they get to enjoy both economies of scale and economies of scope within the industry but on the other hand may be a threat as the majority of their clientele buys and consumes ice cream in small quantities at a…

    Bakerview’s strategy is to develop a core consumer base by segregating themselves from their competitors through industry niches which meet current societal demands and product differentiation. Bakerview has established its own niches in its industry to pursue the solitary of product differentiation. One of its niches is establishing Cowlix Natural Ice Cream which is their own featured brand name product. Crafting your own brand name product creates product differentiation by allowing themselves to articulate a product line to their customers which is segregated from their other products. This generates loyal customers and encourages customers to be exposed to their other goods because they have been satisfied with this certain line of products.…

    The slogan for Marble Slab Creamery is “The freshest ice cream on earth™”. Their high set of standards aims to bring the exquisite taste of fresh-made gourmet ice cream. Although Marble Slab creamery focuses on “freshness” as their main USP, we feel that it is not unique enough as many ice cream brands also offer freshly made ice cream. Moreover, through our survey, we found out that most consumers value novelty and uniqueness in ice-cream brands rather than the freshness (refer to Appendix B). Hence, what truly differentiates Marble Slab Creamery from other ice cream brands is its variety of 40 mix-ins, such as candy and fresh fruit, which they offer with their ice cream.…

    Ice-Fili was able to maintain its leading position in the Russian ice cream industry during volatile times. However, it now faces even tougher challenges that threaten its future prospects: reduction in ice-cream consumption, emergence of cost-efficient regional players, and the lack of a quality distribution system. After analyzing the situation, we recommend a strategy that aims to grow sales through the earning of market share, and improving the distribution network.…

    torontoExecutive Summary The marketing challenge before Toppits Foods Ltd. is to create a comprehensive marketing strategy to accomplish several corporate objectives, in the coming year, which include increasing profits, maximizing their products’ listing productivity, and promoting awareness of their product while ensuring that customers are repeatedly purchasing the product. The company has before it a couple of important decisions to make for the future of its business. These include considering the possibility of switching product suppliers from Israel to China, begin selling to mass-merchandizing stores like Wal-Mart and the ability to select a new, or alter their current, target market of women aged 25-54. Toppits Foods Ltd. should implement the following recommendations that would assist them in achieving their corporate goals for next year: • Continue to pursue targeting women aged 25-54 and not students or young professionals aged 18-25. • Toppits should not sell to mass-merchandizing companies like Wal-Mart but rather should continue pursuing grocery stores and target more warehouse stores like Costco and Sam’s Club. • Toppits should not change suppliers from Israel to China. • Toppits should research and develop a diverse product base in cubes. After making operational adjustments to maximize returns on their new operations Toppits should implement the following key marketing strategies: • Toppits should increase their wholesale price by 20% to increase their unit contribution and increase profitability. • Toppits should create new recipes using the cubes and have them published in magazines like Chatelaine and Canadian Home and Living. • Displays to be attached to freezers should be created that will advertise competitive advantages to consumers of cubes versus competition. • Toppits should implement a 2-phase coupon strategy that will not only introduce consumers to products but will encourage the purchase of several different varieties of the cubes…

    Ice Fili have a strong position in the market but their relative differentiation and cost position left them ‘stuck in the middle’ with respect to some regional and multinational firms. It is clear from the financial statements that the years following the crisis of ‘98 took their toll as we see a steady decrease in sales. Ice cream consumption in Russia continues to grow by an average of 3.5% over past two years (2001-2002) indicating a steady market. However, in order to remain competitive in an increasingly competitive market it may now be the time to reassess the current business model and plan strategic direction for the future.…

    North Carolina has joined the nationwide frozen yogurt kick with three frozen yogurt shops every ten miles. Feeney’s frozen yogurt shop in Greensboro is one of the states biggest competitors. Pulling into the parking lot to Feeney’s Frozen Yogurt, one would be quick to judge the experience they are about to have. Stuck between a massive Harris Teeter and less impressive Papa John’s Pizza, Feeney’s ordinary white sign outside with a questionable pink and green frozen yogurt symbol of some sort, my expectation were immediately set low. However, Feeney’s Frozen Yogurt is a perfect example of the famous saying “ don’t judge a book by its cover.…

Besides that, we have thought that it could be a great place to offer our product so they can also reach a significant growth in terms of technology. It is important to mention that for this country investment and innovation are quite relevant. It also should be pointed out that 10% of the population work in the agricultural sector and that this business is not well-coordinated.…
