EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

AMJ Group ofCompanion Limited Companies is launching a new tea brand named Majesty.
An analysis of the industry indicates the clutter and domination of the tea industry in
Pakistan by a few brands. Important point to be noted here is that in Pakistan tea is taken
not as a beverage, but as food. Therefore, making the people realize the difference in
quality Majesty is sure to raise the expectations of tea tastes and aroma. The targets of this
brand are status oriented, outgoing and working individuals who like to prefer stylish and
quality products and extremely high on taste and are ambitious in their own fields. The
marketing strategy to reach this target revolves around heavy promotion to break the
barriers of established brands and to flow the product through a controlled network. The
product stand out for the ’ aroma and raw pieces’ of tea that will are reserved for special
people to make their moments special. Making the premium brand available at an
economical price range and in convenient tin and soft packs, would act as a source of
protection at the time of launch .The distribution plan is to make the brand available in the
A and B+ stores of the big cities like Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. The goods would be
pushed with the help of an evaluation and incentive based system of distributors. The
foremost element of the plan is the promotion because tea is a product that has earned
great levels of loyalty and to break the barriers of established brands the promotion is to be
carried out in two phase. The first phase is concerned with the initiating trials to get the
target customer an idea of the quality offered by Majesty. The second phase is Brand
building efforts, which is most possibly going to start within three months of launch. These
activities would include those tactics that would create loyalty towards Majesty

Tea Trends in
PakistanTEA TRENDS IN PAKISTAN
An Over view
In Pakistan, a morning and evening cup of tea is an essential part of everyday
culture. This tradition has existed for many years. Every guest in a home in
Pakistan is most likely to ask for a cup of tea. This trend has always created a
strong demand for tea in Pakistan and made it the world's third largest
importer of tea. In terms of tea consumption, it is the seventh largest country.
Even in summer when the weather is extremely hot, tea is drunk minimum
twice a day. During the review period, the hot drinks market grew in both
volume and value terms. Tea dominated the market in both the retail and
foodservice channels. Tea is a part of daily life.
Health awareness increases demand for green tea and fruit/herbal
tea
Increasing health awareness has led to higher demand for green tea and
fruit/herbal tea. Green tea is mostly consumed in urban areas and in some
rural areas. It has been proved that green tea helps weight loss. Fruit/herbal tea
alsoGreen tea experienced significant overall growth between 20005 and
200805 because it has a remedial effect.

Demand for dust tea and strong tea increasing


There has been an increase in demand for dust tea and strong tea in rural
areas. Consumers in the suburbs in rural areas like dust tea whereas
consumers in towns in rural areas and urban areas prefer strong tea. This
increasing demand has urged manufacturers to focus on dust tea and strong
tea.

Sales of other hot drinks remain small but growing


Other hot drinks isdrinks are the smallest sector within the hot drinks market.
These drinks are only consumed in urban areas where the media has more of
an influence and inhabitants have more disposable income.
Steady growth expected over the forecast period
The hot drinks market is expected to further develop between 20059 and
20105 as the population of Pakistan increases. It will also be boosted by
continued media campaigns coupled with a growing western influence.

 Pakistan is a ‘tea’ drinking nation.
 The total tea category counts to approximately 135,000 tons that is

Industry Analysis
ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY
Pakistan is not a tea producing country but is an important consuming
country, being the third largest importer of tea in the world and therefore of
considerable interest to the main tea exporting countries. Consumption in
20063 was 109 000 tones. In addition to the substantial legal imports, large
volumes are smuggled into Pakistan., largely via Afghanistan. Tea imports in the
country rose 11 percent during the 2003-04 fiscal year to 116.94 million kg,
amounting to $187.63 million, compared to 105.35 million kg worth $163.14
million during the 2002-03 fiscal year.
Government control does seem likely to continue to decline, giving greater
opportunity for the private sector to react to market demands and compete
for the consumer’s expenditure. This will mean greater opportunity to
actively market tea using all the available marketing tools, including
promotion, product diversification, market segmentation, and searching for
other forms and uses for tea.
SWOT ANALYSIS

As their populations continue to increase, consumption will grow, though at


lower rates than previously. If incomes grow, per capita consumption will also
be stimulated, but competition from other beverages will continue to place
restrictions on this growth in tea consumption. Tea is facing small but
increasing competition from other, more expensive, beverages.
Import duties and other taxes have been declining and can be expected to
encourage increased imports from countries formerly facing higher rates,
such as India. In July 2004 Pakistan reduced the import duty on tea from 20
percent to 10 percent and. Tthe sales tax on tea was reduced to 15% and
income tax to 2 %.

Target Market
and
Market Segmentation
MARKET SEGMENTATION AND
TARGET
Target Market:
Our target market is males and females age 25 yrs and above of upper & upper
middle class who are non users or brand switchers. In addition to them we
also plan to target Clubs, Hotels, Airlines and Consulates. We believe that our
main market is the customers who are frequent users of tea, hence focusing the
customers who are non users would automatically attract the regular users.
Customer Profile:
These are status oriented, outgoing and working individuals who like to prefer
stylish and quality products and extremely high on taste and are ambitious..
They are professionals or executives who make the decision themselves. They
use tea in morning, day and evening3-5 times a day. The usage rate is very high.
Convenience:
There is a growing segment of consumer that is searching for convenient
products (tea bags for working) that suit their busy life styles. Their fast paced
working and family life implies that consumption moments will involve less
planned, less formal but more frequent and occur in more different locations.
Our customers choose among tea brands based upon quality, convenience,
and to a lesser extent, price. Although consumers may differentiate brands
based on freshness and aroma, to our knowledge few significant competitors
are focusing on these two aspects. The key benefit of freshness and the
perishable nature of tea are being largely overlooked.
Our marketing strategies are designed to appeal to a customer base that falls
within one of the most economically favorable demographic groups in
Pakistan.. We believe our customers tend to be over 25 years and above in age,
well-educated with an average household income of over Rs.40, 000 per
month. Our customers are located in the selected metropolitan areas of
Pakistan.
Segmentation

We have divided the market into the following segments:

The Busy bees:


They are the highly busy professionals and students who want convenient in
the products. For them tea bags are the best.

The Stylo:
They are the people with more resources, emphasize on quality and stylish
looking products. They are adventuresome and like to try new products. Age
normally ranges b/w 20 to 30 years. We are taking convenient packs out hard
boxes and tins for them.

The Trial Chunk:


These are the middle income group who are aspiring to be like the upper
class. They try the small versions of premium brands. For them we have come
up with 200 gm soft pack.

The Established:
These are educated, sophisticated, well off people of age 35 and above and
prefer established and quality brands. They are very conscious about their
tea, oil, and tooth paste and cigarette brands etc. Brand loyalty is the highest
among them. For them tin packs with appealing packing is appropriate in all
variety.

Strategy
MARKETING STRATEGY
MARKETING STRATEGY:

Our marketing strategy will accomplish two things: first to make the
customers aware of Majesty’s presence in the market and second to educate
people as to what Majesty has that others don’t. The marketing budget will
not exceed 215% of our gross annual sales.
Appeal to the customers will be done through:

 Heavy advertisements in the initial phase.

 Banners and flyers in the selected retail outlets


 Hoardings and bill boards

 Ads in local newspapers and magazines

 Review by a journalist in The Dawn Magazine of Sunday.

 Tea dispensers in offices, airport, shopping malls and hospitals.


Growth Strategy:

Because Majesty is a new entry, we will have to promote it as a premium


brand with strong heritage and aroma. Our sales forecast depends on
establishing a loyal customer base whothat drink tea regularly and prefer
quality. We will expand our presence in specialty stores, super markets and
super stores. We will expand the availability of our brand through a
controlled network of distribution to such stores.

We will deliver pre-packaged tea to local distributors who specialize in items


with limited shelf life and visit stores on a daily or frequent basis to deliver
products and restock shelves. We will supply our distributor partners with a
branded free-standing rack for placement at the stores. We are targeting
placement of the rack in or near the bakery section (in Makro) or food section
in other stores to avoid competing for shelf space in the crowded tea aisle and
to reinforce our freshness positioning.
Tea Tasting PLATES:

Every week we will offer our tea as a ‘tasting’ at different locations. These
locations will be A and B class. Four to five small cups labeled with Majesty
with appropriate cup cakes accompaniments. These plates will allow
customers to try our tea without committing to a full jar. These tasting will be
priced at Rs. 15.

Special Events:
In addition to our weekly tasting, Majesty will offer customers sponsoring
events like MovieCricket Matches, bridal show, and book fairs and painting
exhibition.

III. Packaging:
Packing material for tea consists of Master /Outer Carton,
MetallizedMetalized Liner (foil used inside the pack), Aactual package to cover
the tea (inner pack) and Bundlingbundling sheets used in the outer cartons.

Packaging:
The packaging of majesty tea has been very carefully designed keeping in
mind the esthetic value, principles of packaging and preservation of aroma
and taste of the tea.

We have followed a focus strategy in branding and packaging of our product.


The distinct dark green color with majesty written in golden stands out
among competitive brands. Green and golden colors look very elegant and
blend together beautifully withstanding the contrast. Majesty comes in
different sizes and pickings,SKUs, tin packs, both soft & hard in convenience
packs and tea bags. Intense care was taken to make sure consistency must
remain in the packaging, keeping in mind the visibility and recall factors.

The tin convenient packs are launched specifically to give our product a
premium brand image, ensuring the consumers of the tea, traditional rich
taste and aroma which are the hallmark of sub-continental tea drinking
heritage. An aluminum foil covers the inside of the packs to further preserve the
freshness and aroma of the tea. On the cover, it would be attractively decorated in
green and golden which would be made easy to carry, giving customers an added
relief for transportation

Tin packs are round-shaped with tightening lid, which can be opened and closed
quite easily. An aluminum foil covers the inside of the tin packs to further preserve
the freshness and aroma of the tea.
Tin packs come in 1 kg and 500 gm packs.

The normal hard card board and soft aluminum foil packs come in different sizes
ranging from 1kg family pack (which only comes in soft pack) to 500 gm pack,
and 200gm pack to 125 gm pack.
100 and 50 tea bags packs will be launched simultaneously. The packing will be
normal boxed shape like all competitive brands, but with distinct color and
brand name of majesty.

We are also planning to launch special edition tin packs of 100 tea bags to grace the special
occasions such as Eid. Besides we will give these packs as our promotional gift to different
organizations.

Pricing Strategy

Considering the fact that the tea is a product whose industry is in the maturity
stage the launch of Majesty would have to be done such that the targets
realize the premium quality of the product. The Target that we have deduced
for ourselves would be met with a market penetration strategy.
What we plan to do is the pricing of different SKU’s with different
margins since the packaging of tin packs are costing high and they are
targeted to the A class in the socio- economic class we will follow the
rapid price skimming strategy.By segmenting the mass we hope that
the price can be controlled. Since the price competition is severe here in
this industry this segmentation would offer a degree of protection.

Rapid Price Skimming Strategy


The high price of the tin packs, would create an exclusive image of the
brand that is offering premium quality tea and a packaging that retains
the freshness and aroma of the tea. With the high level of promotion we
would take a frim step in the tea industry which is already so
cluttered.The promotional plan is discussed further in the report.
Market Penetration Strategy
The tea bags and the softthe convenient packs that are already stuck in the
price wars would have to be introduced with a price that at least encourages
trial of our product. This trial would also be supported by our promotions.
The pricing would be done on the basis of market competitive prices, which
atleast leads to the position which would let the brand stand amongst all.

Once the product is accepted by the target customer, price revision


should be brought into focus. of the soft pack SKU’s and the box of Tea
bags with 100 and 50 pieces would be priced competitive prices as
compared to the market prices.

List price:
The price of various SKUs is given below. The pricing strategy followed is
Product form pricing in which different SKUs will be priced differently but
not proportionately to their costs.

Pricing Policy

Since we have segmented our product SKUs fror different Social economic class
we have decided with our financial department that we will follow a different
pricing policy for Convenient packs and the tin packages and that fro the teabags
and the soft packs. Although, the raw material and the per kg cost would remain
the same it is the margin that would differ and the cost of packaging and the
kind of promotion that would be conducted too.
 Cost-Plus Pricing

This is the approach in which we would add a certain mark-up. The mark-
up that we have decided after the per packet cost calculation and after
doing an analysis of some of the companiescompany’s profit margin is 38-
410 %. The cost that we are going to take in this formula would be the per
unit cost of production (taking in to consideration of the fixed cost and the
variable cost for each product). We would market our convenient packs on
this basis.

 Market- Based Pricing


After having determined the “market”, the price of the brand is to give a
better feel of the premium quality tea that we are offering. We are making
a conscious decision of charging higher than the market average for the
Tea Bags, Tin packs to demonstrate quality and come as a branded label
that is not yet introduced here in, Pakistan.
Discount

The retailers will be given a 42 % discount on the purchase of more than at


least 100 kg and 4 % for the purchase of more than 200 kgs 45% of the tea that
is supplied by them to the final customers. Incentives regarding this will be
given to the intermediaries to push the product, which would include the
target based sales discount and bonuses
VII. III. PLACE:
Distribution Network:
The distribution will be done in the urban cities of Pakistan i.e. Karachi,
Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi etc. The companies mobile vans will go to
the A and B+ retail outlets on twicehrice a week basis. These retailersfirms
places their order or demand to the head office on weekly basis, and then head
office put forward this demand order to the regional warehouse which
distributes products to the requesting retailersed firm. The inventory level and
sales requirement will show the amount of tea packets required. The
distribution process is as follows.
