    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.

    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 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.…
