INTRODUCTION
Mr. Ronald Begg is an ex-employee of :P&G – brand managerFrito Lay – National Sales Manager
He now wanted to start his own company and after several trials and thought process and looking at available finance the eventual choice was a new, milk modifying, instant chocolate syrup for household use.
The product was given the name MilkMate.
SYNOPSIS
Chocolate is the dominant flavour, estimated to account for about 80% of total sales.
The competition powdered Milk Modifiers had low solubility, were difficult to mix, and often left a residue in the glass after drinking
The new liquid form of product – dissolves instantly & completely
Market researches on Milk Mate gave positive results which gave Mr. Begg encouragement to go for the product

CURRENT MARKET SHARE
Pricing and positioning strategies were worked out keeping in mind the competitors
Investment and working capital figures were chalked out and banks gave a nod provided the viability of product as well as business was there.
Mr. Begg wanted to find a space here where he could combine a small scale product with multi-national marketing techniques.
The biggest catch was that big multinationals could manage huge brands but not small ones , Canadian companies could manage small brands, but are reluctant to invest in marketing and promotion support programs.
