2.  Tapal,
a well known name in the Tea
Industry in Pakistan, started business in
1947.
 Tapal’s has been a journey of success.
Tapal bagged international certifications
and has introduced products like Tapal
Danedar, Mezban SuperDust , Teabags,
Gulahar Green Tea etc that have been
very popular with consumers.

3. Tapal launched Ice Tea, a cold beverage for the
first time in their history, on 14th June 2012.
 There were branded Ice Tea options already
available in the market.
 Tapal introduced tea in many flavours, and in cans
for Social Class SEC B.

Tapal Ice tea campaign was an extensive
campaign, included TV, Radio, OOH, BTL activities
and free sampling. It was for the first time that a
brand launched its portal to interact with the
consumers.
 Yet, Tapal Ice Tea failed in the market.

It can be said that there are two kinds of audiences for iced tea.

Keeping these people in mind, we have selected the following
segment for Tapal’s iced tea.

12.  Consumer
Insights

 Target
Audience is not a fan of tea
 The name of iced tea brings a herbal
mixture in mind
 Target audience associates the word “tea”
with middle aged people



13.  Tapal
faces a tough competition from both
branded and unbranded tea. Unbranded tea
has almost half the share of the total tea
industry. While, among the branded tea the
sales competition with Lipton is cut throat.
 In the Ice tea category Tapal has a monopoly.
Tapal would face a competition in the Iced tea
category only when Lipton and Nestle enter
the market with their iced tea brands which
are popular worldwide but are not marketed in
Pakistan as of yet.
