PLC analysis is very important, if done properly it could warn the company about a products position in relation to its market. PLC forces companies to continuously focus on the market and take any quick, necessary and corrective actions faster, however the process is not as easy as it seems. To see how much influence Ferrero Rocher’s products have in the market, there are different phases in their life cycle, as shown in figure 7. Let’s take a look at the four stages of a PLC and where some Ferrero Rocher products stand:
Introduction: At this stage of the PLC, the product is introduced and there is heavy marketing and promotions. Sales take off slowly as the product grows slowly or fails miserably. As for Ferrero, Rafaello is the product that can be placed in this stage. The company is putting a lot of effort into making this product as well-known as its star, Ferrero Rocher. Later on we’ll see how the company has offered Christmas promotions on Ferrero Rocher and

The product that fits this status is Ferrero Rondoir (also known as black noir). This product is becoming popular more with time and as we’ve mentioned before Côte d'Or does offer a very similar product.
Maturity: At this point sales grow at slowing rates that stabilize. Here products are differentiated, there’s a huge competition, sale promotions and the weakest player gets kicked out. The product that can be chosen at this stage is Ferrero Rocher. Since it was introduced, Ferrero Rocher has kept growing until today but is currently stable. It generates high cash flow and capture an important market share.
Decline: this is the last stage, where sales drop and consumers see the product as irrelevant. The product that fits this stage is Ferrero Garden, the product isn’t doing as well as expected and many people did not like the idea behind this product. In addition to that, the product is not available worldwide and can only be found in certain countries. However, the product is still available in the market, perhaps the company would like to give it a second
Product: The company produces a physical good – Cookies/Crackers. In doing this, the company became diversified by the use of several product lines, not just one line of cookie or cracker. Also, in acquiring other businesses, the company thought it best to keep the originating firm’s brand name vice-carrying its name on the new product (i.e., Sunshine company). In thins regard, Sunshine’s Cheeze-It cracker line would not risk losing customers who are accustomed to that logo on the product or the name being used in association with the product.
The next step is the growth stage. In this stage product growth is monitored and big investments are made. Maturity stage the growth of the outputs is significant. For the company to ensure product survival in the market and gain a competitive advantage over competitors it has to incorporate product differentiation. The final stage involves product decline stage. In this juncture product sale goes down and the product identification
The problem that World’s Finest Chocolate has its related to “inventory”, most of the time they have a deficient of inventory on hand, therefore, the counts never match they are either too short or too much inventory in the production area.
Market research and information about the industry is very important to the organization because it will allow the organization to position itself well in terms of sourcing chocolate raw materials and in identifying the market for its products. For example, understanding that some chocolate product purchases are seasonal, e.g., at Christmas; around Mother’s Day; and, on Valentine’s Day, allows the organization to have more product on hand and to create displays, in store, that will increase purchases and attract more customers when existing customers tell their friends about the availability of high end products, at reasonable prices, in their store.
All our analysis suggests that if GCP-FFD doesn’t do promotion for Dinardo32 and Dinardo 16 the planned annual targets 2008 for % Marketing Margin would not be met for D32, but for D16 annual targets can be met without any promotions. It becomes imperative to do promotion for Natural Meals for two months (Sep’08,Dec’09) keeping in view the Daft’s plan to enter Organic/healthy frozen food markets with a new product – ‘Healthy Options’. Also, Natural Meals target could not be met by just a month of promotion, hence we recommend promoting it for two months.
The European Vice President of United Cereal (UC), Lora Brill, is confronted by a dilemma: to launch a new product called Healthy Berry Crunch as the first ‘Eurobrand’ or not. A wrong decision may destroy her career, especially since Healthy Berry Crunch is not only a new concept of healthy cereal, but also a pioneer of United Cereal’s Eurobrand, which is different from the company’s usual standards. On the other hand, if she makes the right decision, she may be able to grow the company to a whole new level.
Currently, the company lacks of focus as it has a diverse product line with too many varieties of cheese products. With so many products it cannot be sure to decide as to which market segment to target in order to take the advantage of the growing market.
Benetton can use Introduction Stage to launch a new product which will help to create a stable product. The growth stage will help them see if the company is making money from the product and if it’s sustainable. The maturity stage is when the product is stable and the aim for the manufacturer is now to maintain the market share they have built up this will mean that Benton can actually see how their product keeps on selling. The Decline Stage will show Benetton eventual when the market for a product will start to shrink. This shrinkage could show up to Benetton as normally the market can be
...oup of consumers. Through assessing the needs and wants of a major group of consumers, generation X, the biscuit company would be able to further their research and more specifically identify the niche they are required to fill. Due to the general motivations of generation X in buying biscuits as being consistent, fresh and reliable with a strong brand name and reputation, but not necessarily being the cheap alternative there is room for a new business to focus on these ideals and create a successful biscuit catering to their needs.
A Competitive Audit of Nestle's Milo. I plan to produce a SWOT analysis, PEST analysis and a Competitive Audit on Milo. This is because I’m going to need to produce a good analysis of the market place, if I intend to create the best marketing strategy. This is important because there are a range of options available when creating a marketing strategy. Without these analytical processes, I will not be able to identify, which strategy is appropriate.
Abby Willow once said, “The average American adult consumes 11.7 pounds of chocolate every year- that's the weight of about 6 pairs of shoes!” With so much consumption of chocolate by Americans, it is crucial for the numerous brands to advertise their products in a manner that could potentially dominate their competition in sales. There are endless ways for a company to draw the attention of an audience in order to take over the competition of chocolate sales. Advertising is a key aspect as to how successful a brand may be when compared side-by-side to a similar product. While Snickers and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are similar, they are also different; the differences are significant because they demonstrate how some competitors choose to go above and beyond for their advertising while others opt to take a route that is of a more simplistic nature.

In order to be effective, the company needs to honestly evaluate their current position within the market. Had Kraft completed and effective SWOT analysis, they would have likely realized that while they have a strength in distribution, manufacturing, and marketing, one of their singular weaknesses outweighed those positives. The main weakness facing Kraft in both China and India, was the simple fact that the consumers in that market simply did not like the taste of the cookie, and in China, the consumers were never known to be avid cookie eaters (Jain, Jose, & Koellmann, 2013). This miscalculation on the part of Kraft, nearly tanked the rollout of the
