Executive Summary

In this report we have presented the marketing plan of an entrepreneurship idea which is of a

Sugar Cane Juice in Tetra packaging In Pakistan there are all flavours of juice available in tetra

 packaging courtesy of different companies but none of those companies ever came up with this

flavor of juice in tetra packaging. Another reason why we took an initiative for this project that

after our marketing research phase we came to know that people actually demand this product

 but it is not available. The problems faced by the people who are sugar cane juice drinkers were

low availability ,few vendors kiosks, unhygienic and many more.

In this report we have thoroughly described the ideas of how to market this sugar cane juice

named as ³Cane µo¶ Fresh´ we have compatibly used all 5 of our marketing communication mix

tools and came up with a strong combination of marketing activities with the help of these tools.

These tools include Advertising, Sales and Promotion, Direct Marketing and Public

Relations.More over Line Extension, Sponsorships and Social Responsible activities will kep the

 product alive in the minds of the customers in the future stages of the product.

We have made the Marketing plan by constraining ourselves to a certain amount of budget to

give a more of a realistic touch to this project from the electricity bill to the heavy machinery we

have calculated the risk and return of each and every investment and expense involved.

Cane µo¶ Fresh will be available in all retail stores (Kirana , general stores, super markets etc) in

 just Rs. 15/- and being a convenience product its target market will be mass or undifferentiated

market.

We will position this product by strongly relating is brand image with happy moments as to

match the tag line ³A Juice That Makes You Happy ´

2  Current Market Situation:

Realiazing the fact that sugar cane juice is only available at Vendors Kiosks (Stalls) and in place

which are vary shabby, dirty and narrow which makes the potential customers think twice

whether to go drink it or not. Sugar cane juices are not easily available and if they are available

very few people know about this place.More over the vendor kiosks are located in a way just like

regular shops that people living near to it only know about it. After talking to the people at the

vendors kiosks daily more than 200 glass of juices are sold from particularly one vendor kiosks.

Through our questionnaire which had a sample size 100 we came to the conclusion that more

than 75% people were in the opinion of having sugar cane juices in packaged form . When

interviewed people said that they rarely used to consume fresh juices like Apple , Orange and

others in the market today, so we can conclude from this that when these juices were

conveniently available and in a more presentable, hygienic form people started consuming them.

There is no doubt about this that that Sugar cane juices have a potential market but if we can

capitalize on the opportunity of making them available in the packaged form more people will

consume it as compared to Vendors Kiosks.

2.1  Economical:

Why people shifted from fresh juices to packaged juices in Pakistan ?The answer to this question

is that a normal fresh juice price is Rs. 40 /- where as a normal packaged juice price is half of it

Rs. 20/- more over packaged juices are easily available and in a more hygienic form.We

similarly will provide the packaged juice in cheaper rates as compared to the fresh juice available

at vendor¶s kiosks i.e Rs.5/- less than the fresh juice.The price of our packaged sugar cane juice

will be Rs. 15/- . We will have different sizes 200ml pack will be for Rs. 15/- ,same as the thefresh juice (small glass of sugar cane) , 500ml pack will be for Rs 35/- , Rs. 5 /- less than the

fresh juice (large glass of sugar cane)

The increase in inflation will increase the prices of sugar cane juices.

Cane o Fresh |Marketing Plan Page 14 

The economic position of the country if weaken will lead to further reduction in income of the

 people which effects consumer buying behaviour 

The Agriculture Department calculates a detailed cost of production and sets a minimum price

for sugarcane based on this calculation. However, in recent years these minimum prices have

 been lower than the prices which mills have actually paid, due to the shortages of cane. There

have been occasional harvest stoppages such as in late 1995 and early 1996 when farmers

refused to deliver cane at the minimum price which was being offered by mills. The production

of ³gur´ provides an alternative outlet for cane.

The price of sugar itself is not directly controlled, though imports and exports are strictly

regulated in ways to affect price. In 1996, average retail sugar prices in urban areas were around

18.5 rupees/kg (US 51.28 cents/kg). A less refined grade of sugar, sakria, was selling at

16 rupees (US 44.35 cents/kg), and gur at 14 rupees (US 38.8 cents/kg). The wholesale price of 

sugar was only slightly lower, at 18 rupees/kg (US 49.9 cents/kg). Outside the cities, sugar prices

are generally slightly higher. Some amounts of low priced sugar are sold through government

stores to the needy.

A "cess" (tax) on sugarcane, half from farmer and half from mill, originally intended to support

sugarcane research, is now being used for building feeder roads. The cess varies among the provinces. These different tax rates affect the net support price, and change the net relative prices

received by farmers and mills in the different provinces.

In addition to the announced support price, a premium to be paid to growers who deliver high

quality cane is announced each year by the Government. For 1996/97, the quality premium was

to be paid if average recovery was higher than 8.5 percent in Punjab and NWFP Provinces, and

8.7 percent in Sind Province. The rate of payment was 0.32 rupees (US 0.89 cents) per 

40 kilograms of cane for each 0.1 percent point recovery over the base level. For example, if a

Punjab mill averaged 8.6 percent recovery, growers would be paid an extra 0.32 rupees

(US 0.89 cents) per 40 kilograms of cane.

Payment of Income Tax on the earned income

2.2  Political

Taking the certificate /permission from Government for setting up the plant ,and opening the

new business.

The Pakistan government influences the industry through the price of sugar, price of sugarcane,mill licensing, special types of taxation, and import and export controls (some direct, some

indirect). Market-based policies are spreading in many parts of the world, and Pakistan is no

exception, although the influence of this trend on sugar policies is not clear.

Pakistan is expected to reduce its sugar imports in the short run, as recent firm internal prices are

likely to provide stimulus to domestic production, while constraining the growth of consumption.

This would conform to long-stated self-sufficiency goals. However, with clear limits on

irrigation water and production inputs, self-sufficiency for Pakistan in any one commodity, such

as sugar, may come at the price of foregone production of other crops. The price of refined sugar 

in the world market in the last decade has been more stable than in earlier decades, and as world

trade becomes based more on market-oriented policies, the world price may become a more clear 

"opportunity cost" against which to compare domestic prices. The currency devaluation which

Pakistan has recently experienced provides a window of opportunity for Pakistan's sugar policy

to be realized.

However, in the longer run, improved efficiency will be required to create the basis for a

competitive industry. There are likely to be ongoing technical efficiency gains in the industry,

and Pakistan appears to be well positioned to adopt technological improvements.

More over a change in Government might lead to change in policies which may affect our 

  business. Keeping in mind the uncertain situation of the city, terrorist attacks and suicide

 bombings more over military operations are not friendly signs for sound business environment.

2.3  Cultural:

Looking from a cultural perspective people look upon sugar cane juices as natural refreshment

and energy.Sugar cane juices are most popular in countries like Pakistan and India.In Pakistan

Cane o Fresh |Marketing Plan Page 16 

this product indeed has a potential market.As people here like to be Desi infact some people like

to eat unhygienic things it is normal in Pakistan.But talking about the health this product

doesnot cater to majority of the middle class and the elite class who prefer packaged juices cause

of there health being affected.More over the factor of being Desi can be a good analogy of Sugar 

Cane juice with our culture.It is a source of physical and mental enlightenment for people in a

Desi way. Now a question might arise that why the lower class would be attracted to our 

 product.The lower class does consume Packaged juices but rarely , our USP will be that we will

sell 200ml the small pack of packaged Sugar Cane juice in Rs. 15/- while it is available at

Vendors Kiosks at Rs. 20/- people will definitely shift to our product more over it will be easily

available at any Kiryana and general store

2.4  Technological:

As Sugar cane juice gets black in color in 10 minutes because of huge amount of iron in it which

makes it undrinkable so we needed to preserve the juice as we will sell it in tetra packing for this

 purpose we used the following technology :

A technology has been developed for preserving the sugarcane juice in tetra packaging

for a period up to six months. The process of preserving the sugarcane juice involves

 peeling, crushing, filtration, pasteurization and bottling. Sodium Benzoate @ 125 ppm is

added as preservative. The packaged/bottled juice can be stored without any loss in the

quality and flavour for six months at room temperature.

Cane o Fresh |Marketing Plan Page 18 

3  SWOT Analyses:

3.1  Strengths:

y  Initiators: We are the first company to introduce the Sugar Cane juice in tetra packaging

market in the same field.

y  Promoting the hygiene factor gives a strong position over Vendors Kiosks

y  Hams Cane Industry never compromises on Quality. Produces Quality products

y  Its is a mass market product

y  First Company in Pakistan to have access to preservative for Sugar Cane juices

y  Easily available that at Vendors Kiosks

3.2  Weaknesses:

y  Sugar cane juice has very few customers as compared to other juices

y  Strong market share gained by orange and apple juices

y   Nestle has a strong brand name

y  It will be difficult for us to capitalize on the market for atleast first year as Nestle being a

rich an resourceful brand can eliminate us from competition through branding activities

y  Soft Drinks are also an indirect competition and gain a large market share

y  People in Pakistan are Desi and sometimes eat things that are not clean or hygienic that

y  Pakistani culture,while we are promoting a hygienic product

y  Vendors Kiosks juices prices can be lower than he prices of our packaged juice.

y  Customers are not brand loyal

3.3  Opportunities:

y  We can have new flavors like Ginger, Mint, Carrot etc

y  Maufacturing in Pakistan is easy as Pakistan is one of the largest producers of Sugar cane

 juices

y  We can even export our juices

y Government support :Providing employment to the people

3.4  Threats:

y  Large competition both direct and indirect that is other juices and soft drinks

4  Objectives and Issues:

4.1  Objectives:

y  To gain 4% Market Share by the end of 1st

year of business operations.

y  To Gain 8% Market Share by the end of 2nd

year of business operations.

y  To encourage the sales of packed sugar cane juices so that people don¶t buy juices from

unhygienic available selling points.

y  To have continuos growth in sales.

y  To increase seasonal sales output.

y  To create a strong brand name and improve company¶s image.

y To give the best quality packed sugar cane juices to the people at relatively less prices ascompared to fresh sugar cane juices available at stalls.

y  To make it available and famous in all places across Pakistan where the temperature is

relatively hot.

4.2  Issues

y  One of the issues we faced was that packaged Apple ,Mango ,Orange etc juices are

having a good market share because there fresh juices are almost double the price of the

 packaged ones ,where as in Pakistan you can also find a glass of Fresh Sugar Cane Juice

worth Rs. 10/- It is a general mind set of the people that if the product is of cheaper rates

it wont be of good quality which damages your brand image .

y  People in Pakistan are used to eat and drink unhygienic things ,its there culture.Our 

  product is mass market and people from the lower classes doesnot bother about the

hygience factor 

y  All the countries like Brazil,Thailand are now selling sugar cane juices in packaged forms

,we should also start doing this and should discourage the current unhygienic availabilityof sugar cane juices.

y  Lots of diseases like viral fever spreads due to such stalls

17  Marketing Plan

Our first launch would be in Karachi. We won¶t formally launch it we¶ll just carry out pre-

launch activities and for that we¶ll go in different universities and schools and other places and

give free samples and also carry out other fun activities defined below.

17.1  For universities:

y  we will first have to hire student brand ambassadors and for that a salary between the

range of 10000-20000 should be allotted considering our budget. 

y  These people will be giving free samples in different universities coupled with other 

activities too: 

o  Some fun activities: for instance, who eats raw sugarcane quickly, who drinks our   juice fastest and highest no. of glasses, we can even carry out fight between

 people using sugar cane sticks as if they r playing with a sword! 

o  We can have an arm wrestling competition. 

o  Since the main reason that we are launching this product is to cure hygiene

 problems. So for that we can shoot the pathetic hygiene conditions in which fresh

sugar cane juice is made so as to make people aware of how much hygiene is

important which is being offered to them by our product 

o  Secondly, we need to make them aware of the fact that our product won¶t get

undrinkable as fresh juice does after little exposure to oxygen. For that we¶ll be

carrying out demo. In that we¶ll keep our product exposed for some time

compared with fresh juice and people will ofcourse notice our results 

o  Third with every sample we¶ll be distributing there will be a comment card

attached to it and we¶ll also take personal details (name, cellphone and

occupation) of people. This will help us in judging that whether our product is

liked or not and is worth of launching formally 

o  We mentioned cellphone no. because using that we¶ll do mobile marketing! If our 

company would be formally launched we¶ll inform them about our new offers etc.

this is very effective and cheap form of marketing these days 

Page 43: Marketing Report Repaired)

5/7/2018 Marketing Report Repaired) - slidepdf.com

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-report-repaired 43/68

 

Cane o Fresh |Marketing Plan Page 43 

o  Associated with a comment card will be lucky draw too so that people are tempted

to fill our comment card 

We¶ll have a face book page and ofcourse a website only at this pre-launch stage. Our brand

ambassadors will be the ones who will be operating this page. We¶ll post videos of our activities,

winners in lucky draw, free samples distributed«.whatever we did in different universities so

that everyone gets aware of what we r doing and our brand ambassadors can be judged

individually on the basis of how many customers they bring on face book because if there is just

one face book page they can¶t be judged on it! And whoever brings the greatest no. of customers

will be given additional rewards accordingly.

17.2  For Schools

People who will be giving our samples in schools will be wearing Juice cartons because children

definitely require some such kind of characters to build an image in their minds

17.3  For Hospitals

We could again give free samples in many hospitals targeting especially those people(hepatitis B

 patients, cancer etc) for which hygienic sugar cane juice is a good source of healing. Because

these people are not really aware that sugar cane juice can be good source of cure for their respective diseases and we¶ll also do the comment card thing here too

y  After 2 months we¶ll carry out the same activities in Lahore. 2 months period is

necessary because we need to check whether our product went successful in

karachi and using comment card responses we can analyse what are the things

that are required to be changed in our product

Once these activities are done and somehow hype will be created for our product and then we¶ll

officially launch our product by having a formal launch event

17.4  For Malls

We would be giving free samples at Shopping Malls.As it is a product for people seeking

hygiene and its is a mode for Desi Refreshment then no other place can be better to distribute our

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/marketing-report-repaired 44/68

 

Cane o Fresh |Marketing Plan Page 44 

 product at the malls.We will keep a very attractive stall at the malls and will give our product for 

free there.We will also take feedback from the people there and then from the comment card.It

will be a very useful mode as the target market we are looking for we can find them easily at the

malls.This would help us market our product really well.

17.5  On Roads:

Just like Engro¶s Olfruito we will have our salesman giving our juices fro free on signals in day

time only when its incredibly hot specially in places like Karachi and Lahore this will also go

with our product as it is a refreshing juice preffered in summers more than winters and people

will also feel the difference of the juice from that of vendors¶s kiosks and the basic motive to

create positioning and create a USP for our product will be attained through this activity as Sugar 

Cane juices indeed help in beating up the heat and feel refreshed after your hectic day

17.6  Retail Marketing:

y  Rs 0.5 /- as an incentive for the retailer at the sale of each product except for the retailers

 profits which will let us keep our fridge branded with our company¶s logo and colors at

the general store or kirana shops i.e point of retail ,which will create a separate identity

for us 

y  Posters of our product outside marts or general stores or point of retail (A3 size single

 poster)

17.9  Mobile Marketing

  There is other form of advertising instead of promotional vans, motor bikes will be used.

will go red, our people will block the road by holding banners of our juice n they¶ll be

wearing the costume that the people in the above attached video are wearing

  mobile van advertising ,the vans will be roaming around the city and will stop in various

 places where people are shopping or indulged in sports activities and then will distribute

20.1  Return of Investment

@ Expected Sales : 

Per Day Production : 67,600

Per Month Production : 67600 X 25 (Days) = 1,690,000

Assuming that per day in 3 cities 57600 units of products are sold i.e Sales are TOO Good ! In

this case our revenue ,cost and profit would be

Considering only Rs. 15 /- pack 

Revenue Per Month : Rs. 21,600,000 /-

Cost Per Month : Rs. 17,568,000 /-

Profit Per Month : Rs . 4,032,000 /-

Out of 4,032,000 we will pay 1,760,000 to our monthly expenses which leaves us with Rs. 

1,908,480/- Net Profit Per Month after subtracting income tax

25% of 1,908,480 will be allocated for the marketing budget in future that is Rs. 477,120/-

per month and Rs. 5,725,440 /- per annum

y  After 18 months we will have Rs. 8,588,160 /- allocated to our marketing budget and we

can launch our further line extensions with this money through the same marketing plan

or may be different strategies as suggested by time.

y  Further we can use these funds for our Social Responsible activity planned after 3 years

Time To Reach Break Even : 14 Months

We think this is achievable as our distribution would be across more 3000 retail at

Karachi,Lahore ,Islamabad altogether which includes all the kirana stores, general stores ,marts ,

whole sale stores,canteens,dhabas etc which makes an average of 19 units of products at every

retail point needs to be sold out across the three cities.More over Nestle has 67% market share

and their daily sales is 400,000 liters while our monthly sale would be 288,000 liters which

makes our market share with respect to Nestle 1.9 %, which shows that our approach is not

exaggeration but reality.
