    Overall Business Plan

    The overall business plan for company would be to explore various innovative avenues

    to sustain in the segment which is highly saturated and is also adversely affected by the

    economic downturn. This can be achieved by differentiating its offering by

    implementing a blue ocean strategy. The company will try to add various other products

    such as books, electronics, CDs/DVDs through vending machines along with the

    conventional ones such as food, drink, and cigarettes. On a long term basis the

    company will try to explore the international possibilities and especially in the countries

    which are currently in development mode and can potentially be economic superpowers

    in near future. BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) can be targeted one by one

    starting with India due to the fact that this country has highest number of English

    speaking persons compared to others.

    Mission Statement

    The mission statement of the company would be: To provide the domestic as well as

    international customers with a vending facility which will be able to provide

    conventional as well as contemporary and digital offerings in very convenient, clean

    and comfortable vending machines.

    Overall long-term and short-term corporate and marketing goals

    and objectives

    The short term corporate goal of the company would be to achieve a market share of

    2% of the total UK market.

  • 7/31/2019 Marketing Assgn Edited (1)

    The long term corporate goal would be to be amongst the top 5 vending solution

    companies in the UK and worldwide by the means of innovative product offering and

    selective globalization.

    The short term marketing goal would be to develop a positive relationship with the

    domestic customers and increase the sales at least upto 20 in a years time.

    The long term marketing goal would be connecting and building a good relationship

    with the market the new facet of marketing named relationship marketing.

    Marketing Audit

    Chiltern Vending is a Bedfordshire based private limited company part of the CV & Sons

    Group operating the ChillVend brand of vending machines in the UK market. CV was

    established as a family owned and operated business in 1966 by Martin Healey, an

    engineer with experience in chilled food technologies. Martin built up the company

    when vending machines were still a relatively new concept in the UK market. During the

    70s and 80s, CV was able to find modest success in selling machines to factories,

    schools, and office establishments based on concepts of novelty and convenience. The

    company management has since passed through the hands of various family members

    including Healeys son but has struggled with stability issues. The operational and

    strategic responsibility of CV has now passed on to Martin Healeys grandsons Martin Jr.

    and Sean Healey with Healy Sr. Still wielding considerable influence on decision making

    at the board level.

    Economy

    In the factor of economy, the major risk for ChillVend is the chance of global and UK

    economy going into financial meltdown. If the recession takes place and sustains for a

    considerable period of time, the companys sales growth and the marketing and

    promotional activities will be badly affected.

    5/22

    An additional significant feature in economy is the developing markets which are

    maturing in this vending segment. ChillVends growth will not only be affected by local

    economy but also by the global economy as it is planning to expand its business the

    developing markets. The sustained weakness of Euro as well as Asian financial

    downturn can also hurt ChillVends plan of action and especially its plan for

    international expansion.

    Customers

    The dominant user group for vending machines in the UK are the 16-34 age groups in

    the C1C2 socio-demographic category while the AB category especially in the over 55

    age range restricts itself to hot drinks. Demographic changes, population contraction in

    the 15-24 age groups, health concerns, changing consumer preferences are all factors

    that may affect market segments.

    The focus of the industry currently is generally on food, drink, snacks, cigarettes etc.

    With a shift of the targeted age group books, electronics, downloads, CDs/DVDs will be

    sold.

    The company has to target a huge segment of the latest generation which demands the

    latest trends and styles. The company should also make an allowance for the varying

    demographics of UK as well as other countries it intends to enter.

    Competition

    The UK vending market is increasingly fragmented with three major players Bunzl,

    Selecta, and Sinclair Collis command around 18% of the total market. Many other

    players share the rest of the spoils but no single operator holds more than 1.5% of the

    total sales.

    With so many companies fighting for the pie, the market is very competitive. This leads

    to a huge expenditure in marketing and promotions which uses a range of channels for

    reaching the targeted group of consumers. Since the growth in domestic market is

    sluggish in last few years and will continue to be so, although a future estimate of

    turnaround is there, it will be important to enter new markets which are developing with

    high growth rates.

    The mode of entry into these markets would be based on a sprinkled approach. This will

    be done so as to keep a room for the incorporation of feedback from how the market is

    reacting our company and how we need to make changes so as to generate better

    products and happier consumers. The forecasting of profits will be done by the financial

    teams and we are hoping to achieve a market share of about 5% by the end of 4 years

    into the markets.

    SWOT Analysis

    Strength: The strength of the company is its legacy and experience in the UK vending

    market. The company has been in the business for a few decades and they know the

    dynamics of the market as good as any other player in the segment. Due to a long

    exposure to the market and the customers, it is also an added advantage for the

    company that it is well known amongst the existing as well as potential customers. The

    reputation of the company would be kept intact by the use of customer relationship

    management programmes extensively and to deliver high quality products every single

    time. The reputation of the company would automatically be driven through good sales

    and incorporation of customer feedback.

    Weakness: Though the company has the potential to take the business to the next

    level, but due to its small size it will suffer from inadequate cash flow. Moreover, credit

    crunch is affecting suppliers of vending units while the Automatic Vending Association

    (AVA), the industry representative body cites rising energy costs, financing bottlenecks,

  • 7/31/2019 Marketing Assgn Edited (1)

    7/22

    3

    and lack of business confidence for the gradual decline in the market. The company is

    looking into these kinds of problems and would branch out to newer countries and

    markets which eventually would hedge the company against such kind of risks.

    Opportunity: The changing domestic consumption and growing foreign economic

    powers act as the main opportunities for the company. Introduction of more innovative

    features such as pre-paid cards, cashless machines, and also expand the range and

    quality of offerings available through machines can also pose as opportunity for the

    company. Branching out to other countries and developing markets might also be an

    opportunity and the plan to branch out would be followed up after finding the way

    things are shaping up here.

    Threat: The external threat for the company is traditional culinary tastes, socio-cultural

    taboos, the availability of plenty of freshly prepared food, and issues around health and

    safety, legislation, crime, and guaranteed supply of good quality ingredients may

    hamper plans for rapid market expansion in domestic as well as foreign countries.

    Internal threat is presence of Healy Sr. and other family members in the boardroom who

    are slow to acknowledge and respond to market challenges and yet attempt to bring in

    more modern and radical management practices. The company would try to bring more

    radical management personnel without losing ownership. This would be done through

    proper training and development programs as well as through research and

    development of the company.

    PESTEL Analysis

    Political Environment: Vending which is essentially an US culture can face some

    problems in UK due to its symbolism of the American culture. The resistant British

    mentality was disturbed by the American free flowing culture and hence the problems.

    Furthermore, there are several factors politically like the health policies and their

    effects would have to be properly grasped before plunging into the market. Such

  • 7/31/2019 Marketing Assgn Edited (1)

    8/22

    3

    policies of the government might hamper the profit and bring the sales down in vending

    companies.

    Economic Factors: Recession can prove to be a good as well as problem factor for the

    vending company as more and more people will frequent it for cheaper foods. This can

    be a boon in disguise for the companies.

    Social Factors: Changing consumer tastes and recent legislative moves towards

    restricting the availability of HFSS foods (High in Fats, Sugars, and Salts) in places like

    schools have had a significant impact on sales. Most purchases are of low cash value,

    less than 2 usually with the maximum value being 5 in the case of some cigarette

    categories.

    Technological Factors: Various technological developments including the EPOS link

    with suppliers and logistics planning software and reliance of cashless means of

    payment and measures to reduce fraud (Haberberg & Rieple 2008, p.133). The

    technology of integrated systems via enterprise resource planning would also be setup

    to build an easy way of monitoring the income levels from the machines.

    Environmental Factors: ChillVend faces some serious competition from various other

    vending companies in UK. The company would setup quality checks and ensure that the

    product from this company is nothing short but the best among others. This would help

    ensure that the competition would not be able to take advantage and prove to be a

    bane for the company.

    Legal Factors: In UK, there are several legal factors that would have to be managed and

    eliminated in a proper way. There are factors regarding the licensing procedures as well

    as the fees which are to be paid to them. Such factors would also be looked upon while

    entering into the markets.

    CSF

    The critical success factors for the company would be innovation and globalization. With

    a sprinkled approach, the company is going to roll on new models by integrating

    feedback and fusing innovation into their approach.

    Positioning

    Positioning comes from the segmentation and targeting. Hence before giving the

    positioning of the company, target market and segmentation will be given.

    Target segment: The target segment of the company will consist of tech savvy

    teenagers for digital contents, working professionals and college going students for

    different convenient products and conventional vending items. People, who generally

    are time bound, i.e. do not have much time in hand and are price sensitive will be

    targeted by ChillVend.

    Segmentation: People who fall under ChillVends segmentation are broadly everyone.

    Their biggest chunk of revenue and thus the profitability will come from the brand

    loyalists and the patronages. These people generally do not have enough time to travel

    to some store and will make use of vending machines for some of the daily used

    articles. Time constraint or inabilities to travel are the two most important reasons

    amongst them. Hence it can be easily deduced that the teenagers and the college going

    students who stay on their own or in hostel are those who frequent these machines.

    Working professionals also visit these.

    Positioning: ChillVend's positioning will be as the innovator in the vending industry.

    They will be vending digital products and different small size IT peripherals. Apart from

    these they will position themselves as a vending company which will start vending a

    range of products for which quality will be good and price will be affordable. For making

    the waiting time very less the systems will be made efficient and user friendly. The

  • 7/31/2019 Marketing Assgn Edited (1)

    10/22

    3

    positioning of the company would also be as an innovative and a globalised company

    which believes in producing world class quality products with an aim to generate happy

    consumers.

    Marketing strategies and tactics

    For deciding on the marketing strategy, we first need to identify what will be new

    offerings by the company. Apart from the current bucket of offerings like food items and

    cigarettes etc the new products which are intended to be vend by the machines are

    books, electronics, downloads, CDs/DVDs.

    Few decades in this industry, ChillVend is not at all a new comer in the segment. But

    still the other companies like Bunzl, Selecta, Sinclair Collis etc. are reigning the market.

    They are better i terms of market share and thus have an edge over ChillVend. In spite

    of all these facts, ChillVend has to battle hard to top the list in every possible ways.

    The key objectives of the marketing campaign for ChillVend are as follows:

    Awareness about the Vending Facilities: To create awareness about the extensive

    range of products that can be bought from various vending machines as well as

    the factor that it saves time and money and offers lots of convenience for the

    customers.

    Awareness about the new products which will be offered through Vending

    Machines: To define and communicate the concept of a vending machine and

    related company as well as clearly explain the value this brings to its consumers

    and to establish ChillVend as a renowned vending company, It will also drive

    home the message regarding the new products which will be offered first on

    ChillVend. So definitely it will help the company to build a differentiation factor.

  • 7/31/2019 Marketing Assgn Edited (1)

    11/22

    3

    Campaign within the Budget: To provide with best in the class products any

    competitors can provide but very much within the budget. Budget is very

    important because this will help defining the scope of the campaign.

    Basic issue that advertising would address: Establishing an image of ChillVend as a

    quality vending company that addresses individual customer needs through its unique

    and never seen before product offerings.

    Key Benefits those will be communicated are wide range of products to the buyers, new

    additions to the product repertoire of the company and best in class quality of the

    products.

    Campaign theme and appeal would be as follows:

    The campaign would focus on holistic product offerings and not just some particular

    daily items. It will stress on the new additions to the product offerings like digital

    products and different small size IT peripherals.

    It would also have an emotional appeal that highlights happy and smiling faces that

    depict satisfaction.

    The media which will be used are Billboards and print media. These have been decided

    keeping in mind their low cost as well as wide reach.

    Implementation and control measures

    The evaluation of PR campaign is generally done post campaign and it determines if the

    campaign is accomplishing its predetermined objectives. The tests are generally field

    tests.

    PR program impact measurement tools those will be used are:

  • 7/31/2019 Marketing Assgn Edited (1)

    12/22

    3

    Perception surveys: By asking a cross section of individuals important to the brand

    about their perception of the organization and its services/products. We can benchmark

    awareness among key audiences.

    Opinion polls: Use of smart polling to determine subtle opinion and perception changes.

    They can go beneath peoples superficial opinions to detect not just what theyre

    feeling, but why.

    Media content analysis: The media's opinion won't necessarily track the same as public

    opinion. We will evaluate media and Internet coverage for content including message

    pickup, reach and frequency and compare this information to our program objectives.

    Evaluation for Advertising Campaign:

    The focus will be on testing the components of the advertise by checking its intended

    meaning, its desired effect on the consumers and its desired effect on brand image.

    Most of the tests will be quantitative in nature and will measure certain metrics in Lab

    testing format which will be done by both pre-test and post campaign.

    Advertisement program impact measurement tools those will be used are:

    Comprehension and reaction testing: A key concern is whether the ad conveys the

    meaning intended. Another concern is the consumer's reaction to the ad.

    Comprehension and reaction tests are designed to assess these responses. Personal

    interviews, group interviews, and focus groups will be used for this purpose. This is a

    pre test.

    Inquiry tests: It is designed to measure advertising effectiveness on the basis of

    inquiries generated from ads appearing in various print media. The inquiry will take the

    form of the number of phone calls generated or direct physical inquiries.

  • 7/31/2019 Marketing Assgn Edited (1)

    13/22

    3

    Recall tests: It is a field test. Traditional interviews with consumers help determine

    recall and whether viewers remember the ads they see, as well as whether there is a

    halo-effect among ads. Scores will be based on percentage of respondents who can

    accurately recall the ad, idea communication, and likelihood of visit to the hospital.

    A critical and evaluative review of appropriate marketing

    literature

    Different Phases in History of Marketing

    According to Tedlow, Richard S. (1997) the history of marketing can be divided into

    three different phases. The history of marketing will provide an understanding of the

    business world today and is thus useful in the context of the U.K. Airline Industry and

    Emirates airlines.

    First Phase: Phase one is the phase of fragmentation due to the logistics reasons

    and not for any marketing strategy. This phase which took place before 1880s is

    known for its high margin and low volume. (The Rise and fall of mass marketing

    By Richard S. Tedlow, 1997)

    Second Phase: The second phase is known for the implementation of mass

    marketing. This, unlike its previous phase, is famous for high volume and a low

    margin. This phase came into existence because of two predominant reasons -

    the upgradation to newer technologies like trains and the telegraph and several

    other developments in the sector of technology especially related to

    manufacturing. Phase two took place during 1880s to 1950s. Brand marketing

    and management became important like never before during this period. (The

    Rise and fall of mass marketing By Richard S. Tedlow, 1997)

  • 7/31/2019 Marketing Assgn Edited (1)

    14/22

    3

    Third Phase: The third phase is the phase of segmentation. Innovations which

    made this phase possible were initiated by advertising through radio and

    television. Television advertising proved that certain classes of viewers are

    impressed by distinct kind programs. This made the segmentation possible.

    Marketers started concentrating on a defined group of potential customers who

    were grouped according to their age, income, and education, which form the

    factor named demographic factor or according to their way of leading life and

    thinking, which form the factor named psychographics factor. Advertising through

    the process of Image advertising started becoming very famous during this

    timeframe. High volume and value pricing are two most important characteristics

    which represent this particular phrase. (The Rise and fall of mass marketing By

    Richard S. Tedlow, 1997)

    Through these timeline the nature of marketing communication has changed

    drastically. In the beginning only print media and billboards were used to communicate

    with the existing and potential consumers. With advent of electronic media and very

    recently internet the whole mode of marketing communication has evolved like never

    before. We would now summarize different researchers and authors view on marketing

    campaign.

    Marketing Campaign

    The widely accepted definition of marketing campaign amongst the researchers and

    practitioners is a pre determined and planned series of activities which can be used for

    making the prospective customers aware of a product or service which has been

    launched or changed recently. The international body representing advertising

    agencies, The Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA), has defined a

    Figure 1A: A model of communication plan

    marketing communication as a way of providing the correct potential customers with

    the most persuasive possible selling message in a cost effective manner. On the other

    hand, Kotler and Armstrong have given a different definition. They have said, marketing

    communication can be of several natures like non-personal presentation and promotion

    of ideas, goods and services with the media which have got mass reach such as

    newspapers, magazines, television or radio. (Czinkota,2007)

    American Professor Terence A. Shimp, defines the concept of communication in

    marketing as "all elements included in the marketing mix of a mark, serving to facilitate

    transactions by sharing ideas and consumer brand clients. The author stresses that not

    only promotional variable allows the transmission of messages to consumers, but also

    other components of the marketing mix. (Advertising Promotion and Other Aspects of

    Integrated Marketing Communications By Terence A. Shimp, 2008)

    The American expert, John J. Burnett, the role of communication in marketing is "to

    support the marketing plan by sending the promise of marketing and also assist the

    target audience to understand and trust one who announces specific advantages.

    (Nonprofit marketing best practices By John J. Burnett, 2007)

    The use of marketing campaign is twofold. It can be used for acquiring new prospects or

    potential customers and for retaining and rewarding the loyal and existing customers.

    opinions, attitudes

    16/22

    3

    (Zeithaml, 1981) The factors which are instrumental in driving the ever evolving

    importance of a marketing campaign are following:

    1. Increased media fragmentation. According to the reports published by

    Cambridge, Mass-based Forrester Research, the number of TV channels per home

    increased to 82 from six between 1960 and 2004. On the other hand the numbers of

    radio stations have increased more than twice during this period. With the advent of

    internet this fragmentation has become even more. This high amount of fragmentation

    and clutter in the choice of media are causing severe problems for the companies when

    they are trying to communicate to the customers. Consumer changes the channels and

    switch through the advertisements these days more than ever before which has caused

    the act of catching the attention tougher. (Marketing Strategy and Competitive

    Positioning By Hooley et al, 2011)

    2. Increasing availability of customer data. With different customer relationship

    management activities in place the data pertaining to the customers are readily

    available to the companies which has changed the communication activity

    drastically(Smith et al, 2004).

    3. Short-term thinking. The short term thinking trend has brought a shift from

    strategies keeping long term interest in mind (e.g. brand advertising) to strategies more

    focussed on short term boost of sales (e.g. direct mail and sales promotions).

    4. A call for more accountability. Advent of different ways to measure effectiveness

    of any kind of communication strategy has also changed the way communication is

    done from companys part. (Principles of marketing By Philip Kotler and Gary

    Armstrong, 2008)

    17/22

    3

    Elements of Marketing Campaign

    According to Kotler, the main three elements which are instrumental for making a

    marketing campaign successful are market, message, and timing. (Marketing

    Management By Philip Kotler, 2008)

    At the outset the communicator needs to identify the market for which he wants to

    design his communication. This selected market should be potent enough or should

    possess ample resources which will help the business to run. A business based on the

    marketing expertise and the products made by the company are designed in such a

    way so that it impresses the target market. Hence the target market should be

    identified at the beginning so that the communication plan can be devised according to

    it. (Marketing Strategy and Competitive Positioning By Hooley et al, 2011)

    The second element is the message, which includes different value added propositions

    for the customers. The message has to be designed in such a way so that it appeals to

    the target market. Robert Collier described this process as fine tuning the thinking of

    the company with that of the customer. The company has to understand the customer

    and his mindset so that it can grasp the needs, problems, fears and desires of the

    customer and how the companys offering can satiate the target base. (Marketing

    Management By Philip Kotler, 2008)

    The third element is the timing of the communication. The timing at which the offering

    is made can play a very pivotal role. A very well made marketing communication plan

    can be rendered ineffective if the timing is not correct. A market sometimes passes

    through phases when it reacts well to some particular products or messages. (Principles

    of marketing By Philip Kotler and Gary Armstrong, 2008)

    Marketing Communications Effect on Consumers

    Michael L. Ray in his book Advertising and Communication Management has said that

    generally the credibility of the source of the message the consumers receive are

    measured on the basis of several factors by them. These factors usually are public

    relationship and image in front of the mass, reputation in the market, previous years

    performance by the company, the delivered quality of goods and services of the

    company, the brand ambassador, initiatives taken for social welfare and the image of

    the medium.

    The understanding of the coded message and the mood in which the target audience is

    receiving the message are also factors which greatly influence consumer behavioural

    effect of marketing communication (Dowling et. Al 2007). The comprehension of the

    message usually depends heavily on the nature of the message, the ease with which

    the receivers are processing it, the need they feel to process it and the intrinsic traits of

    the receivers like past experience and learning, attitude, personality, perception, etc.

    The consumer mood has great effect on the understanding of the message the

    company intends to send. This mood of the consumers can be altered with the help of

    different techniques of advertising. (Ray, 2009)

    Relationship Marketing and Its Importance

    Due to the focus of marketers and practitioners on the aspect of connecting and

    building a good relationship with the market the new facet of marketing named

    relationship marketing has evolved. Morgan and Hunt (1994) have defined Relationship

    marketing as the marketing activities which are meant for establishing, developing, and

    maintaining successful relational exchanges. (Hunt, 1994)

    As we have seen in the first phase of marketing the producer and the consumer were

    thought to be two different and disjoint entities. But due to today's technological

  • 7/31/2019 Marketing Assgn Edited (1)

    19/22

    3

    advancements producers can communicate directly to the large customer base he has

    (Prasad et. al 2001).

    The primary objective of the process of relationship marketing is to influence and

    subsequently involve the customers and incorporate them to the organizations internal

    stakeholders. This ultimately is a part of the marketing initiatives taken by the firm

    (McKenna 1991; Shani and Chalasani 1991). Wilson (1995) categorized different

    variables those affect the relationship of firm with internal and external stakeholders.

    These variables are Commitment, Trust, Cooperation, Mutual Goals, Interdependence

    and Power, Performance Satisfaction, Structural Bonds, Comparison Level of

    Alternatives, Adaptation, Non-retrievable Investments, Shared Technology, and Social

    Bonds. (Jayachandran, 2005)

    Conclusion

    The Success of a product into the market is basically decided by two things, first is

    Designing the product according to the need of the customer and second being equally

    important, to communicate the target customer segment of the company in a proper

    way. Without proper communication between the company and its customers,

    customers may not get the product not because of they dont like the product but not,

    because they are not aware of that product. Liking or disliking for a product by a

    customer though somehow depends upon understanding your customer and then

    designing the product that can cater their needs but still you cant fully say about liking

    or disliking about a product by customer, so this is not into the hands of a marketer but

    the second part that is communicating the customer about the product is into hands of

    the marketer and they can control the acceptance of a product by customer by using

    the 360 degree communication approach with the customer segment. Efficient use of

    the resources as well as the communication tool decides the success of a campaign.

    Also one very important factor in designing a campaign is first to have a clear idea

    about your target customer segment so that you dont deviate your message to other

    audience which is not your target customer segment hence wasting the resources on

    fruitless things.
