Aqualisa Quartz Case
Executive Summary
STP (Segmenting, Targeting and Positioning)
Segmenting
The segmentation of Aqualisa Quartz is focusd on Independent plumbers (Plumbers who do not work for any company), End user (Self installation -> 4,745 pound to 15,000 pound) around 13,550,000 people, End user (Middle income -> 15,000 pound to 30,000 pound) around 20,600,000 people, and at last End user (High income -> 30,000 pound and above) around 5,770,000 people(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_in_the_United_Kingdom).
Targeting (Differentiation targeting)
Aqualisa Quartz In the targeting market, we tend to target plumbers and end users (Middle to high income) because most of the end users are suggested by the plumbers. The others might buy from showrooms. Therefore, we have to target them as well
Positioning Statement To middle-high income customers, Aqualisa Quartz is a high premium shower brand which come under mixer shower category that offers quality and latest innovation because Aqualisa Quartz has benefits in water pressure, ease of installation, use and design.
Goal
We want to increase units sold of Aqualisa from normal sale strategy, it will be increase 12,775 per year within 3 year to be 51,220 as follows 10% increase in the first year, 15% increase in second year and 30 % increase in the third year. | Current | 1 year | 2 year | 3 year | Percentage increase | | 10% | 15% | 30% | Number of unit | 12,775 | 14,052 | 16,160 | 21,008 | Total Number | | 51,220 |

HOW 12775 comes ? This number is come from the fact that case study states that unit sold of Quartz is between 30-40 units per day. So we take the mean which is 35 units and times 365 days. Therefore, the unit sold per year is 12775.

Problems: The problem for Aqualizer is that Plumbers are lack of knowledge and innovation of Aqualisa Quartz. Moreover, most customer decisions rely on plumbers. Second issue is the bad experience of electronic

    According to RightNow’s internal forecast, the revenue growth rate with the new strategy is 67%. In the pro forma balance sheet, I assume that line of credit, long-term debt, and shareholders’ equity stay the same. Other accounts grow at the same speed as revenue grows. From Exhibit 1, RightNow doesn’t need additional fund to support the strategy in 2004; instead, it could repay its debt. As a software company, RightNow has huge amount of deferred revenue, and this liability actually plays an important role as a financing tool. If the growth rate is not as high as expected or gross margin deteriorates, the size of discharged amount in 2004 will shrink.…

    Summary: Aqulisa’s newest and highly innovative product, the Quartz Shower, comes in two forms: Standard and Pumped. Despite the initial anticipation and buzz surrounding the product at its outset, early sales figures in the first four months were much lower than expected at an average of only 15 units/day. Management is interested in generating sales momentum, and is willing to rethink their marketing strategy but not their pricing. The three options they are facing are to target consumers, do-it-yourselfers, or developers directly. While each of these options have pros and cons, we are recommending that the Quartz product be marketed directly to premium consumers, as well as directly to the consultants they will be advised by while shopping various high-end showrooms. While Aqualisa is a relatively small company, it has invested a great deal of time (three years of development) and money (€5.8M) toward the creation of this product thus far, and the additional €3 - €4 million for a large-scale consumer campaign is a nominal and necessary fee to drive the volume of growth that is necessary in order to “break out of the pack.”…
