TEA OVERVIEW
The world's passion for tea is legendary, and as it became less a drink for the rich and
more a drink for the masses, the commerce of tea became big business.

Tea is Pakistan’s most popular and cheapest beverage. The annual consumption is
about 150 million kilogram, fluctuates at just less than 1kilogram per year; this is the
world’s seventh highest consumption. 66 percent of the country’s total population of
154 million lives in rural areas, where tea consumption is greatest

Today, tea is the world's second most popular drink (after water). It's easy to make,
affordable and one of the fastest growing beverages (6.5% over 5 years).

Pakistan became a major tea importer. It is now the world’s third largest tea importing
country. Kenya is the leading supplier with 57 percent of Pakistan’s import. Illegal
imports are substantial, nearly 1/3 of domestic consumption and a nearly 81 million
USD business.

The Pakistan’s tea-makers can be classified into the “blended and packed” segment of
the market and the “loose” tea segment. Blending, Packaging and distribution are
nominated by Unilever, the world’s largest transactional corporation in the tea
industry, and Tapal Limited, a very competitive local firm. Both are based in the port
of Karachi. There are some other minor players. Out of recent total legal imports of
114,000,000 kilograms, 70,000,000 kilograms went to the packers, while the rest was
imported by independent traders who sell “loose” tea in open markets.

LIPTON INDUSTRY PROFILE



Unilever is one of the world’s greatest consumer goods company and Lipton is a
product of Unilever.

Sir Thomas Lipton was a Scottish-born entrepreneur and innovator who decided in
1880, at the age of 40, that he would make tea accessible to all at acceptable prices
and with a guaranteed quality. Before Thomas Lipton, tea had been expensive. It was
a beverage for the rich and variable in taste as a result of improper packaging and
transportation. Thomas Lipton acquired tea estates in Ceylon (today Sri Lanka) and
organized packaging and transportation at low cost to sell his teas 'direct from the tea
garden to the tea pot'. In 1893, he established the Thomas J Lipton Co., a tea packing
company with its headquarters and factory in Hoboken, New Jersey.

LIPTON teas were an immediate success in the US. Thomas Lipton was knighted by
Queen Victoria, who made him Sir Thomas Lipton in 1898 at the age of forty-eight.

Thanks to Sir Thomas Lipton, LIPTON is the world’s leading tea brand and present in
more than 80 countries.

LIPTON stands for brightness, vitality and fun. It compromises of yellow label, iced
tea and green teas. It is designed for upper middle, upper lower and upper middle
class. Lipton is a market leader in the industry. It comes in all the packages including
hard packs, jars and tea bags.

MISSION STATEMENT OF LIPTON


The mission of Lipton is to meet the everyday needs of the people everywhere to
anticipate the aspirations of our consumers and customers to respond creatively and
competitively with products, which raise the quality of life.




SWOT ANALYSIS



STRENGTHS




   •   Unilever is a multinational company
   •   Powerful heritage of Lipton as present in the Pakistan market since 1948
   •   Familiar with psychographics and demographics of the local consumers
   •   Strong brand mage and brand awareness in Pakistan
   •   Market leader as t has a 70% market share in branded tea.
   •   Larger sales force
   •   Strong and long-term relationship with distributors, wholesalers and retailers.
   •   Sound and experienced management.
   •   Excellent marketing department assisted by a highly regarded marketing
       research unit.




WEAKNESSES



   •   Loss of market share to Tapal in Karachi and Multan
   •   Low market share in N.W.F.P.
17


   •   Positioning of Lipton Yellow Label as a premium product to which consumers
       have a weak emotional attachment
OPPORTUNITIES




   •   High rate of population growth
   •   Rising literacy
   •   Tea was added to the smuggled goods list in March 1998 and import duty was
       reduced from 45 to 25 percent. This has collectively placed the entire
       organized tea business in a more favorable position.
   •   Market opportunity of Lipton Yellow Label in rural areas




THREATS




   •   Threat from cheaper tea smuggled into the country via border areas of NWFP
       and Balochistan seriously affecting Lever’s sales and earnings.
   •   Possible increase of Tapal and loose tea market shares
   •   Rising inflation, which reduces disposable income of consumers?
   •   Increasing import duties since a lot of raw materials are imported would raise
       the price of its end products.
   •   Lipton’s profit margin is exposed to rupee devaluation.




LIPTON CARDAMOM TEA


Lipton has been playing the key role to provide its consumers with something better
and different in every way it can. Lipton once again with the extension in its product
mix has come up with the idea of introducing new flavor in the market, the cardamom
18


flavor. The differentiation strategy of Lipton is the flavor and aroma. It is targeted for
the existing tea drinkers, providing them with something new and attractive, with
great aroma and taste.

Unilever has used product development strategy to introduce Lipton Cardamom Tea;
it has offered modified/new products to current markets

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS


MICROENVIRONMENT FACTORS



Microenvironment of a company is all the factors that affect its ability to serve its
customers. It includes the company, suppliers, marketing intermediateries, customer
markets, competitors, and publics

    1. The Company

Unilever is the largest FMCG Company in Pakistan, which was established in 1948. It is an
international company, with head offices in most of the countries of the world. People at
Unilever work together to attain a single target, which is customer, need satisfaction. The
people at work, coordinates to achieve this target through setting up objectives and targets and
attaining them. Top Management set the mission and objectives, whereas the marketing
managers set strategies according to all these decisions and missions. Unilever strategy has
been quite amazing; their efforts go beyond just providing the products, more importantly,
providing consumers with the required health and nutrition information that can help them
make better informed choices to lead a healthier lifestyle

    2. Suppliers

The suppliers have made an important link in the company’s overall
customer value and delivery system.

    3. Marketing Intermediateries

Unilever marketing intermediaries have played an effective role in distributing its
products. Unilever products are widely available in nearly all retail stores. The
physical distribution of the firm is quite balanced and covers a very wide area.
Financial intermediaries of the firm are quite strong and depict a very firm relation
with the company. These have strongly helped the company in promoting its products.
20




   4. Customers

The customers have always been quite contended with the products. There’s a huge
wide range of products produced that are being used by consumers on regular basis.
The company has maintained its standard though out, that has helped in binding
strong relations with its customers. Customers don’t feel like switching to any other
brands and are blind folded by the standard and quality produced. The Unilever
Lipton cardamom tea targets very niche market, the concept is new and very few
people are aware of it.

MACRO ENVIRONMENT FACTORS


Microenvironment factors are all the societal factors, which affect the company; these
include demographics, economic, natural, technological, political and cultural forces.

1. Demographics

Pakistan is the country here tea intake is very high as compared to other countries of
the world. Generally, people consume 2-4 cups of tea per day. So demographically in
a country like Pakistan where tea intake is high, any production or development in the
line/product extension would help the company to grow.

The demographics include ages, location, gender, race, occupation etc.

 Lipton is designed for upper middle, upper lower and upper middle class. The
potential market of Lipton is the people aged 10-60; it does not target the children.

2. Economics Forces

The buying of Lipton cardamom tea, which is for a particular class and niche market,
the economic factors like low income, the decline in the production, the inflation rate
might influence the buying pattern of the people.
21




3. Cultural Factors



The Pakistani culture is considerably diverse and this diversity has produced unique
cultural amalgam of its own type. Although, the target market of Lipton Cardamom
tea are the people who are diverse and ready to try something new and fascinating,
which lingers to their taste buds and give them a refresh feeling.
22




MARKET SEGMENTATION


Market segments are group of customers having similar needs / wants and
preferences. It enables the organization to more closely match it marketing mix with
the customers of same needs or demands.


Consumers can be grouped and served in various ways based on geographic,
demographic, psychographics and behavioural basis.



Tea drinking is our national habit, addiction and part of our evolutionary culture; it is
no more a fashion in Pakistan. Tea drinking has become such a habit in Pakistan that
such slogans for tea drinkers are in the air.

                  BANNU TERAY ABA KA CHAI KA KHOOKA

                        BANU MEI KHOLTA CHALA AYA

In such conditions when tea intake is high, people with changing moods and people
who want new things every now and then want some new flavors and good aroma,
variety is the spice of life for few people.

TARGET MARKET


Lipton Cardamom Tea has used concentrated niche marketing strategy. Lipton has
chosen Niche marketing because it goes for a large share of one or few segments. The
aroma and essence is not the need of everyone, only few classy people, who want a
great lifestyle with a touch of uniqueness will go for a cardamom flavored tea. Lipton
basically has targeted the urban areas and has concentrated on the upper and middle
classes {preferable age group ranging from (15 – 60)}. Today as both men and
women consume equal amounts of tea the age group segment selected for Lipton is 15
– 60 for they want to target those people who are young trendy, cosmopolitan hip and
cosmopolitan.



Lipton cardamom tea is a product of Unilever targeted for niche market with new
essence and flavor. It is high quality high price product. The people at Lipton
understood the need of the niche market, that the niche market is more innovative and
need changes. Moreover, Lipton does not focus on the households, the Lipton
cardamom tea focuses on the commercialism of this product. It is available to the
universities, offices and shopping malls. By doing so, it is targeted the needs of the
people who want comfort, quality, convenience and pleasure.

Competitors are the major threat face by every company in a market. Companies need
to keep a careful check on its competitors. They have to keep into consideration that
what other competitors is offering, at what prices, what quality, what benefits etc.

large market but still all major tea companies are its competitors.

  • 3. 3 PREFACE During the course ‘Principles of Marketing’ our team was assigned to prepare a report based on the marketing strategies of a well-known product. Our assigned product is Lipton’s Cardamom Tea backed by Unilever. During the collection and analysis of data, we didn’t face any problem while acquiring the related information. All the related problems, which were faced by us, are already kept in risk assessment time and minute in nature, so due to that factor we have completed our report in time. This report will definitely create a better understanding of marketing concepts and their implementation in a real life scenario.

  • 6. 6 TEA OVERVIEW The world's passion for tea is legendary, and as it became less a drink for the rich and more a drink for the masses, the commerce of tea became big business. Tea is Pakistan’s most popular and cheapest beverage.

It's easy to make, affordable and one of the fastest growing beverages (6.5% over 5 years). Pakistan became a major tea importer. It is now the world’s third largest tea importing country. Kenya is the leading supplier with 57 percent of Pakistan’s import. Illegal imports are substantial, nearly 1/3 of domestic consumption and a nearly 81 million USD business. The Pakistan’s tea-makers can be classified into the “blended and packed” segment of the market and the “loose” tea segment. Blending, Packaging and distribution are nominated by Unilever, the world’s largest transactional corporation in the tea industry, and Tapal Limited, a very competitive local firm. Both are based in the port of Karachi. There are some other minor players.

  • 15. 15 LIPTON INDUSTRY PROFILE Unilever is one of the world’s greatest consumer goods company and Lipton is a product of Unilever. Sir Thomas Lipton was a Scottish-born entrepreneur and innovator who decided in 1880, at the age of 40, that he would make tea accessible to all at acceptable prices and with a guaranteed quality. Before Thomas Lipton, tea had been expensive. It was a beverage for the rich and variable in taste as a result of improper packaging and transportation. Thomas Lipton acquired tea estates in Ceylon (today Sri Lanka) and organized packaging and transportation at low cost to sell his teas 'direct from the tea garden to the tea pot'. In 1893, he established the Thomas J Lipton Co., a tea packing company with its headquarters and factory in Hoboken, New Jersey. LIPTON teas were an immediate success in the US. Thomas Lipton was knighted by Queen Victoria, who made him Sir Thomas Lipton in 1898 at the age of forty-eight. Thanks to Sir Thomas Lipton, LIPTON is the world’s leading tea brand and present in more than 80 countries. LIPTON stands for brightness, vitality and fun. It compromises of yellow label, iced tea and green teas. It is designed for upper middle, upper lower and upper middle class. Lipton is a market leader in the industry. It comes in all the packages including hard packs, jars and tea bags. “LIPTON TEA CAN DO THAT”
