9. Vehicle to get into the business
• Our vehicle to get into the business will
be Alliance. Because we don’t have
enough money to start up our own
business (internal development). As we
are inexperienced and new in this field,
so we will not go for Joint Venture or
Acquisition.

10. Marketing Mix
• Product- Cupcakes
(Quantity will be large, so variety of
cakes will be less).

11. Marketing Mix
• Price
– High, but still competitive
– It will be Skimming Pricing strategy
because there is no need to penetrate the
market because as we all know COOKIE
JAR is an expensive shop.

12. Marketing Mix
• Placement
- It is going to be OL (Owner’s
Labeling). So no need to worry.

- No need to promote. Because it will
be done by COOKIE JAR.
