THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW ERA
India’s contribution to the modern world may not be signed in numbers, but whatever
contribution made worth wise is absolutely great. One of the contributions in the desert category
“THE KULFI”
Kulfi
Kulfi is a popular South Asian, ice cream made with boiled milk typically from water buffalo. It
comes in many flavors, including pistachio, malai, mango, cardamom (elaichi), and saffron
(kesar). Kulfi differs from western ice cream in that it is richer in taste and creamier in texture.
As well, where western ice creams are whipped with air or overrun, kulfi contains no air; it is
solid dense frozen milk.It is made by boiling milk until it is reduced to half. Then sugar is added
and the mixture is boiled for another ten minutes. Then flavorings, dried fruits, cardamom, etc.
are added. The mixture is then put in moulds and frozen. One can eat kulfi plain as is or it can be
garnished with ground cardamom, saffron, or pistachio nuts. As well, Kulfi is also served with
Falooda vermicelli noodles. But since the kulfi could not become world famous, with the concept
of kulfi, ice-cream was started in 1981 in India. Then onwards it has been one big journey…….
on the road.
Now, Ice Age – The Healthy Ice Cream Parlor brings to you the new generation of Ice Creams…

HISTORY
THE EVOLUTION OF THE ICE CREAM
Ice cream's origins are not known to reach back as far as the second century B.C., although no
specific date of origin nor has inventor been undisputable credited with its discovery. We know
that Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar. Biblical
references also show that King Solomon was fond of iced drinks during harvesting. During the
Roman Empire, Nero Claudius Caesar (A.D. 54-86) frequently sent runners into the mountains
for snow, which was then flavored with fruits and juices. Over a thousand years later, Marco
Polo returned to Italy from the Far East with a recipe that closely resembled what is now called
sherbet. Historians estimate that this recipe evolved into ice cream sometime in the 16th century.
England seems to have discovered ice cream at the same time, or perhaps even earlier than the
Italians. "Cream Ice," as it was called, appeared regularly at the table of Charles I during the 17th
century. France was introduced to similar frozen desserts in 1553 by the Italian Catherine de
Medici when she became the wife of Henry II of France. It wasn't until 1660 that ice cream was
made available to the general public. The Sicilian Procope introduced a recipe blending milk,
cream, butter and eggs at Caf Procope, the first caf in Paris.

FROM THE COW TO THE CONE
How Ice Cream Is Made
Everybody has a favorite flavor or brand of ice cream, and the debate over whose ice cream is
the best rages on each year. While each manufacturer develops its own special recipes, ice
cream production basics are basically the same everywhere. The most important ice cream
ingredients come from milk. The dairy ingredients are crucial in determining the
characteristics of the final frozen product. Federal regulations state that ice cream must
have at least 10% milk fat, the single most critical ingredient. The use of varying
percentages of milk fat affects the palatability, smoothness, color, texture and food value of
the finished product. Gourmet or super premium ice creams contain at least 12% milk fat,
usually more.Ice cream contains nonfat solids (the non-fat,protein part of the milk), whichcontribute nutritional value (protein, calcium, minerals and vitamins). Nonfat dry milk,
skim milk and whole milk are the usual sources of nonfat solids. Thesweeteners used in ice
cream vary from cane or beet sugar to corn sweeteners or honey.Stabilizers, such as plant
derivatives, are commonly used in small amounts to prevent the formation of large ice
crystals and to make a smoother ice cream. Emulsifiers, such as lecithin and mono- and
diglycerides, are also used in small amounts. They provide uniform whipping qualities to
the ice cream during freezing, as well as a smoother and drier body and texture in the
frozen form. These basic ingredients are agitated and blended in a mixing tank. The
mixture is then pumped into a pasteurizer, where it is heated and held at a predetermined
temperature. The hot mixture is then "shot" through a homogenizer, where pressure of
2,000 to 2,500 pounds per square inch breaks the milk fat down into smaller particles,
allowing the mixture to stay smooth and creamy. The mix is then quick-cooled to about
40°F and frozen via the "continuous freezer" method (the "batch freezer" method) that uses
a steady flow of mix that freezes a set quantity of ice cream one batch at a time. During
freezing, the mix is aerated by dashers,revolving blades in the freezer. The small air cells
that are incorporated by this whipping action prevent ice cream from becoming a solid
mass of frozen ingredients. The amount of aeration is called "overrun," and is limited by
the federal standard that requires the finished product must not weigh less than 4.5 pounds
per gallon. The next step is the addition of bulky flavorings, such as fruits, nuts and
8/3/2019 ASM balbir
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asm-balbir 5/21
chocolate chips. The ingredients are either "dropped" or "shot" into the semi-solid ice
cream after it leaves the freezer. After the flavoring additions are completed, the icecream
can be packaged in a variety of containers, cups or molds.

• The third growth vector will apply the same products to the new markets.
• The fourth growth vector will be to diversify into new product markets. We shall
concentrate on the second growth vector and study the strategy with respect to the Ice
Cream market.
INTERNAL ANAYLSIS
According to the recent studies, most of the newly launched product or services fail due to
improper analysis of their internal and external needs. A company should most effectively and
efficiently take care of all the internal matters and needs. Since internal analysis is so use full and
the life cycle as well as pricing is totally depended upon this analysis, Ice Age Ltd.. has taken
proper and fully effective steps in analyzing all the need and requirements of the company.
During internal analysis the promoter should take care of the following things:
• Raw material requirement
• Power supply
• Labour requirement
• Working force
• Capital
• Working capital
• Internal rules and regulations
• Proper management
• Proper material handling
EXTERNAL ANALYSIS
CUSTOMER ANALYSIS
The Indian market with its vast size and demand base offers great opportunities to marketers.
Two-thirds of countries consumers live in rural areas and almost half of the national income is
generated here. It is only natural that rural markets form an important part of the total market of
India though the urban market is increasing drastically. Our nation is classified in around 450
8/3/2019 ASM balbir
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asm-balbir 10/21
districts, and approximately 630000 villages, which can be sorted in different parameters such as
literacy levels, accessibility, income levels, penetration, distances from nearest towns, etc.
The rural bazaar is booming beyond everyone's expectation. This has been primarily attributed to
a spurt in the purchasing capacity of farmers now enjoying an increasing marketable surplus of
farm produce. In addition, an estimated induction of Rs 140 billion in the rural sector through the
government's rural development schemes in the Seventh Plan and about Rs 300 billion in the
Eighth Plan is also believed to have significantly contributed to the rapid growth in demand. The
high incomes combined with low cost of living in the villages have meant more money to spend.
And with the market providing those options, trends and tastes are also changing.Thus Ice Age
Ltd.. has decided to enter this market with the basic idea of tapping the upper middle class which
had established itself as a huge tapped market in the perception of a lot of national and
multinational players who were then trying forages into the Indian market.
COMPETITORS ANALYSIS
NEED OF COMPARISION
Consumer Mindset
The consumers always have a different loyalty status for different brands. Sometimes they buy
some brand due to the price or sometimes due to the features. Studying the consumer’s
mindset is of vital importance as perception of individuals at the buying stage of various
brands is unpredictable and ever changing.
Market Share
The market share of the players in the two wheeler auto market needs to be studied to know
which company is in the booming stage and which company is in its closure stage. Also
the advertisement and promotional share needs to be studied. Thus, market share helps us
know the current market leader and market follower so that our company can develop an
efficient marketing strategy for its product range after analyzing the current market
player’s position.
SWOT Analysis

The SWOT Analysis i.e. the Analysis of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats
of the company products and its competitors at a glance. It needs to be compared to get an
overall analysis of all the major companies and to know the company having better
strengths, more opportunities and on the other hand the company having more of
weaknesses and threats.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
High initial launch cost
There is a large front-ended investment made in new products including cost of product
development, market research, test marketing and most importantly its launch. To create
awareness and develop franchise for a new brand requires enormous initial expenditure is
required on launch advertisements, free samples and product promotions. Launch costs are as
high as 50-100% of revenue in the first year and these costs progressively reduce as the brand
matures, gains consumer acceptance and turnover rises. For established brands, advertisement
8/3/2019 ASM balbir
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asm-balbir 12/21
expenditure varies from 5 - 12% depending on the categories. It is common to give occasional
push by re-launches, which involves repositioning of brands with sizable marketing support.
Market research
Customers purchase decisions are based on perceptions about brands. They also keep on
changing with fashion, income and changes in lifestyle. Unlike industrial products, it is difficult
to differentiate products on technical or functional grounds. With increasing competition,
companies spend enormous sums on product launches. Market research and test marketing
become inevitable. The business rests on the two aspects that are brand equity and distribution
network.
Marketing driven
In relative terms, marketing function has greater importance in the Ice Cream industry. The
players have to reach out to mass population and compete with several other brands. The
perceived differences are greater than the real differences in the product.
Brand equity
Brand equity refers to the intangible asset in the form of brand names. The consumer's loyalty for
a particular brand is due to the perception that the product has distinctively superior and
consistent quality, satisfies his/ her specific needs and provides better value for money than other
competing brands. A successful brand generates strong cash flow which enables the owner of the
brand to reinvest a part of it in the form of aggressive advertisement/ promotion to reinforce the
perceived superiority of the brand. The worth of a brand is manifested in the consumer's
insistence on a particular brand or willingness to pay a price premium for the preferred brand.
Distribution network
In this sector, one of the most critical success factors is the ability to build, develop, and maintain
a robust distribution network. Availability near the customer is vital for wider penetration as
most products are high value products. It takes enormous time and effort to build a chain of
stockiest, retailers; dealers etc and establish their loyalties. There are entry barriers for a new
entrant as a new product is typically slow moving and has lesser consumer demand. Therefore
dealers/ retailers are reluctant to allocate resources and time. Established players use their clout
8/3/2019 ASM balbir
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asm-balbir 13/21
to inhibit new entrants. However, when a product offers a strong breakthrough, equity build up
rapidly and so does the distribution network.
The major problems faced while marketing in the local market: -
a. Underdeveloped People and Underdeveloped Markets:
The number of people below poverty line has not decreased in any appreciable manner. Thus
underdeveloped people and consequently underdeveloped market by and large characterize
the Indian markets.
b. Many Languages and Dialects:
The number of languages and dialects vary widely from state to state, region to region and
probably from district to district. The messages have to be delivered in the local languages
and dialects. Even though the numbers of recognized languages are only 16, the dialects are
estimated to be around 850.
c. Prevalence of spurious brands and seasonal demand: -
For any branded product there are a multitude of ‘local variants’, which are cheaper, and,
therefore, more desirable to mass.
d. Different way of thinking: -
There is a vast difference in the lifestyles of the people. The kind of choices of brands that an
urban customer enjoys is different from the choices available to the rural customer. The rural
customer usually has 2 or 3 brands to choose from whereas the urban one has multiple
choices. The difference is also in the way of thinking. The rural customer has a fairly simple
thinking as compared to the urban counterpart.
MARKETING STRATEGIES
The Differentiation concept is to make the product different from those of its competitor. When
we look at the local Ice Cream market we see that the leader’s naturals have constantly
maintained its market leadership by constantly differentiating on the basis of new flavors. And
coming up with line extensions with regular frequency. The only alternative for Ice Age Ltd. to
survive in this industry will be to differentiate itself. This differentiation could be on the basis of
8/3/2019 ASM balbir
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asm-balbir 14/21
the marketing mix. (Product, Price, Promotion, Place) Thus, as per the different factors of
marketing mix 4 Different strategies are made to market in the developing cities in India.
TARGET MARKET
“Ice Age” – the healthy ice cream parlor offers a wide range of sugar free and fat free ice
creams. The ice creams are specially made keeping in mind all the health conscious people as
well as youth and people who suffer from illness like diabetes. Ice Age is a healthy ice cream
parlor which targets the higher middle class and rich class of the society.
Due to the variety of flavors and the specialty of being sugar free and fat free makes the Ice Age
Ice Creams more popular among the fitness and health conscious people.Ice Age targets the
market where people are ready to buy healthy junk food due to their taste buds and the fact that
Ice Age Ice Creams are totally fat free and sugar free with the same original taste. Hence Ice Age
Ice Creams targets the market where people from age group 1 year to 80 years can enjoy their
favorite ice cream keeping in mind health conscious people, diabetic people, young people, etc…
SEGMENTATION
Segmentation variables
Several variables differentiate consumers who prefer different kinds of
Desserts, such as frequency of consumption, price sensitivity, relative importance of calories vs.
taste, consumption occasion (at home, at work, at a social event, during recreation or at a
restaurant), and desired serving size. The two most important variables are probably price
sensitivity and the taste-calorie tradeoff.
The reason that price sensitivity is especially important is that some consumers will pay high
prices for a product of high quality. Therefore, one might be able to make large margins selling
to that market. On the other hand, there is a large market that will not buy desserts that are priced
too high; therefore, some of the manufacturers will want to provide value-priced frozen desserts
that may sacrifice quality somewhat. Consumers today tend to be increasingly health conscious,
and many will therefore want to limit the amount of calories in the desserts they consume. On the
other hand, desserts are consumed for pleasure, and other consumers are unwilling to sacrifice
the taste provided by calorie-rich desserts. There are also certain people who have high
metabolisms or engage in strenuous activity, leaving them with less worry about weight gain.
8/3/2019 ASM balbir
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asm-balbir 15/21
Frequent or “heavy” users of frozen desserts would a great target, but this group is not readily
identifiable and reachable—these consumers are not likely to have distinct media habits or to
frequent particular stores, for example. Serving size preference is an important issue, but is
addressed already to some extent by price sensitivity.

Ice Age ice creams being fat free and sugar free requires some extra indegrients and products
which increases the cost of the ice cream by 15 – 20 %. The segmentation of Ice Age ice creams
is done on the basics of “Demographic segmentation” and “psychographic segmentation”.
8/3/2019 ASM balbir
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asm-balbir 17/21
Keeping this segmentation in mind the management has taken steps to open its shops at the
following places in Patiala:-
• 22 no fatak
• Omex mall
• Urban estate
• Jail road(near thapar uni)
• Punjabi university(main campus)
The main production of all the products will be done at the main unit based at “Patiala” and then

PROMOTION
Push promotion strategy involves getting the retailers/dealers to vouch for your product by
giving them larger profit margins and giving them incentives for the number of sales of your
product that are made from their shops/showrooms.
Pull promotion strategy involves promoting your product on a very large scale and making it
visible on the market, thus raising the customers curiosity about the product and hence inducing
them to buy it. We will give all the retailers/direct-dealers a good profit margin than our
competitors are providing them but not at the initial stage because we are focusing to attract our
target market using diversified means of promotions and advanced technology to our customers
at reasonable price. We will also give them incentives for vouching for our product at a later
stage as we settle down in the market. Hence we have decided not to go for push promotion
strategy at present but instead we have decided to go for pull promotion strategy.
• Television advertisements: Advertisements to promote and market our product will be
shown on leading television channels. Major music and family channels will promote Ice
Age Ice Creams as they will reach out to the youth as well as all age groups. Star, Zee,
Sony and Doordarshan etc will be our main promoters.• Radio is the medium with the widest coverage. Studies have recently shown high levels
of exposure to radio broadcasting both within urban and rural areas, whether or not
listeners actually own a set. Many people listen to other people's radios or hear them in
public places. So radio announcements will be made and advertisements will be
announced on the radio about the product features and price, qualities, etc.
8/3/2019 ASM balbir
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/asm-balbir 18/21
• Print Ads: Daily advertisements in leading newspapers and magazines will be used to
promote the product. Leaflets at the initial stage will be distributed at railway stations,
malls, college areas and various other locations.

people aware about the company and product features, its affordability and vast
distribution network.

which suits the customers need according to their taste.
PRICE
The pricing strategy adopted by Ice Age Ltd. for its ice age ice cream is PENETRATION
PRICING because it is a total new brand, which is entering a market, which is already facing
immense competition. And breaking this competition and attracting new requires quality product
at low price. Hence our product will be priced low which will be economical and will encourage
new buyers. Hence we have adopted the penetration pricing method for capturing market share
and establishing ourselves in the market. After considering all the factors i.e. cost of production,
transportation cost, store charges, etc… and after analyzing this data the finance manger Miss
Balbir kaur coated the price list according to the material requirement of the product and the
making charges with considering all other of the store also. According to Miss Balbir kaur the
cost of per scoop of ice cream will Rs. 35 which would earn the company a profit of 20% on
