To overcome this Situations, Natureview management team

target to increase its total

revenue by 50 % to the end of

year 2001 ..

Page 17: Natureview Harvard Case Study

But howwww ????????????

Lets take it …..

Page 18: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Natureview operates in natural food channel ,where growing its revenue by 50

% in short term is nearly impossible

Page 19: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Company don’t have any experience in marketing through

supermarket channel….

Page 20: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Supermarket channel is comprised of lots

of potential competitors .

Page 21: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Risk of turning of its core natural foods

channel’s wholesalers and retailers

towards its competitors’ brand .

To expand four SKUs of the 32-oz by Jack Gottlieb, vice president of

operations.

Page 28: Natureview Harvard Case Study

It has the largest Gross Profit margin . Less competition due to larger shelf life. Less promotion cost .

New customer would readily enter new brand via multi use size.

Lowest in the shelf ,low interaction with customers

Slotting fee would be higher .

To expand two SKUs of the 4-oz multipacks by Kelly Riley, assistant

marketing manager .

Page 32: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Supermarket channel could potentially effect its core channel . Its core brand positioning would be helpful to launch new product effectively. Growth rate of natural food channel is 7 times more than supermarket channel .

Management team believed that they could manage channel conflict.

Natural food channel has less potential for expansion.

Growth rate would not a key factor for short term .

2 choices are

there……..

Page 39: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Lets have a look at other

marketing issues

Page 40: Natureview Harvard Case Study
Page 41: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Supermarket Customer choose yogurt according to

• Package type /size • Taste • Flavor • Price • Freshness • Ingredients • Organic or not

Page 42: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Natural foods channel customers take decision according to :

• Ingredients • Organic or not • Product’s health promoting qualities

Page 43: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Natureview Core

Health promoting qualities

No artificial

Thickners

longer shelf life

Pure organic product

Page 44: Natureview Harvard Case Study

8-oz have more

chances to get succeed in supermarket channel.

But it has also high potential to harm company’s core distribution channel

Page 45: Natureview Harvard Case Study

To avoid it , company should launch this

product with new brand positioning .

Page 46: Natureview Harvard Case Study

HOWWWWWWWW

Page 47: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Company would launch 8-oz

size cup with a new unique flavor, with self

co-branding strategy .

.

Page 48: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Why New Flavor

Page 49: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Because of

A new unique flavor would attract more and

more customers towards itself .

Because in Supermarket customers don’t care for health qualities much they care for taste and flavor more

Page 50: Natureview Harvard Case Study

New flavor would

differentiate

the product from other potentials competitors and give a good brand positioning .

Page 51: Natureview Harvard Case Study

Why self c0-branding
