9. CUSTOMER DRIVEN MARKET STRATEGY:
MARKET SEGMENTATION:
It is difficult for any one company to engage in mass production, mass distribution and
mass promotion for its product. The complexities arise from the proliferation of advertising
and distribution channels and the high costs associated with reaching a mass
audience. Therefore, companies segment the market so that they can target the group
of customers who share similar needs and wants.
The milk sector shows a market that has homogeneous preferences that is the consumers have
similar preferences. They want milk to be white, carefully processed, and good for health and
Bones. Keeping these things in mind Olpers’ market has been segmented. The marketers at
Olper’s have had a number of options available to them when segmenting the market for their
products. So far company has introduced three new products: Olpers milk, Olwell diet milk and
Olper’s cream.
The milk sector has a market that has homogeneous taste and demand that is the consumers have
similar preferences.
Milk should be clear and free from any impurities.
It should be carefully processed
Milk should be good for bones and health.
Olper’s market has been segmented according to these things. Olpers marketers had a number of
options available to them when segmenting the market for their products.
Demographic Segmentation
Psychographic Segmentation
Behavioral Segmentation
Geographic segmentation
Demographic Segmentation
Olpers is meant for all the users in higher upper or middle class families. Olper’s products are
not restricted to any particular age, gender or lifecycle stage.
Lower class wouldn’t want to buy the brand maybe because they are price sensitive or because
they still believe lose milk is better than processed milk
Therefore it can be said that Olper’s had a image as a brand for high income earners. Due to
that image it can be said that Olper’s milk target a specific social class who are health conscious
and concerned about their weight.
Characteristics:
Age: It is for all age persons.
Gender: there is no discrimination.
Family size: It serves family of people up to three or five people.
Family cycle: Olper’s milk is bounded to any particular life cycle.
Income: above 8000.
Olper’s milk is for all occupation education and region.
Psychographic Segmentation:
Olper’s marketers have segmented the market who are goal-oriented and focused on their
careers, and those who are looking variety in the milk sector.
For example the ads for Olwell ,focus on achievers who want to be successful, have high aims
and are already doing quite well in their concerned fields.
Olper’s ads also target believers, traditional conservative people with concrete beliefs. Olper’s
ads show the beliefs of healthy life with processed milk and plays on the emotional aspect more.
15. PRINCIPLE OF MARKETING
FINAL PROJECT Page 14
Characteristics:
Social class: this brand is for all users of middle and upper class.
Occasions : for all occasions.
Behavioral Segmentation:
Olper’s products have been segmented on the basis of benefits that consumers seek in the
milk.
Olpers ads are always based on the theme of family.
Olpers milk can be used in daily life.
Olpers can be used for all purposes like tea whiteners or to feed the animals.
Geographic segmentation:
Location:
Region: South east
Country: Pakistan
Province: all over Pakistan
Targeting:
Undifferentiated marketing strategy
Pakistani families
Children
Niche marketing
Olper’s lite (high calcium low fat)
POSITIONING:
Positioning involves designing the product and image that will occupy a distinctive place in
the minds of the target market. As can be seen, nestle milkpak and Haleeb have the largest
profit margins and market share in the milk industry. Thus the marketers at Olpers have decided
to create its own unique image and then strengthen the position in the customers’ minds. They have
done this by taking a number of following steps:
(1) Packaging of Olpers milk and Olwell in red color and Olper’s cream packed in purple color are
quite different and distinctive from the typical green and blue packing used by other
Competitors.
(2) The brand has been positioned as an all-purpose milk that is meant for everyone, especially for those
who live life to the fullest, hence its tag line, “jo dill khol kay jeetay hain unheen kay liyay hai Olpers.”
Olper’s always tries to create customer intimacy that is it focuses on satisfying the customers’ unmet
needs Processed milk is seen as less lacking all the nutrition’s that are part of milk due to passing
through so many processes. But Olpers positions itself as milk that has not lost its nutrients.
The marketers have used different positioning for Olper’s products
a) They have used the attribute positioning for Olper’s milk the main theme of the product is that it
is meant for all purposes without any user imagery Olper’s ads also show attributes of milk such as
good for health.
b) They used the benefit positioning for Olwell. The product is positioned as delivering the benefit
of helping to reduce weight and for healthy bones.
16. PRINCIPLE OF MARKETING
FINAL PROJECT Page 15
c) Olpers cream is positioned as good for a specific use or application. In this case the cream can be
used to make cake icings and desserts look great. It can be said that all the different stages have been
performed by the marketers with extreme care and research.
UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION:
The unique selling proposition for Olper’s is Subhan Bakhair Zindagi, but recently the company
hanged the USP to Jo dill khol kay jeetay hain unheen kay liyay hai Olper’s Both the tag lines have
a very positive impact on Olper’s image because of the emotions involved in both the lines.
VALUE PROPOSITION:
In our point of view its value proposition is “more for more” as they are charging more price
and giving good quality milk as compare to other products like everyday, tarang, omung etc
which are cheap and not good quality milk. They also have a unique packaging. Olpers give
new packaging style which is easy to use and store. They also provide tetra packaging while
other products which mention above doesn’t provide it. They are able to justify a higher price
by providing customers with a higher level of benefits in their brand or product.
POSITIONING MAP:
Positioning map is a diagrammatic technique used by asset marketers that attempts to visually display
the perceptions of customers or potential customers. Positioning maps help them develop a market
positioning strategy for their product or service. As the maps are based on the perception of the buyer
they are sometimes called perceptual maps. Positioning maps show where existing products and services
are positioned in the market so that the firm can decide where they would like to place (position) their
product. Firms have two options they can either position their product so that it fills a gap in the market
or if they would like to compete against their competitors they can position it where existing products
have placed their product.

10.INDUSTRIAL ANALYSIS
Porter’s five Forces Analysis:
Threat of New Entrant:
The average entrepreneur can’t come along and start a large food company. The threat of new
entrant lies within the food industry it set, some companies have carved out niche area in which they
under right dairy supply. These food companies are fearful be been squeezed out by the big players.
Another threat for many food companies is other food services companies entering the market
CapitalRequirement:
Competing in a new industry require resources to invest production of packed products requires
huge investment of financial, human, technical, and marketing resources. At the moment engro
olpers have some treat like from through entrants. Good milk product from shakargang foods.
Economyof scale:
Economy of scales determines entry because they force potential competitors either to enter on
large scale basis (A costly and perhaps risky move) or to accept a cost dis advantage. Moreover,
new entrants in the pasteurized milk business may encounter scale related barrier not just in the
production, but in the advertising marketing, distribution, financing, and Raw milk purchasing as
well, engro foods achieve its break even in 2003
Bargaining powerof suppliers:
The suppliers of food might not pose a big threat, because of the reasons,
Numbers of suppliers:
Raw milk is standard commodity and is available in the open market from a large number of milk
man. If anyone refuses to sell its product then company can buy it from others who are already
willing to sell to a company
Importance of volume to suppliers:
Suppliers also have less leverage to bargain over price because the company is purchasing the
large volume of their milk and supplier don’t have much options to sell milk to others.
Bargainpowerof buyers:
The individual does not pose mush of threat to the food industry. Large clients have a lot more
bargaining power with the food companies. Large corporate clients like airlines and retailer pay
millions of dollar per year. There are large numbers of distributors, who are buying and
distributing the product, so there bargaining power is low and company have leverage to dictate
implement its terms and condition to distributers.
Backward integration:
Another reason of low bargain power is that no buyer distributer has the resource to start involve
in backward integration.
18. PRINCIPLE OF MARKETING
FINAL PROJECT Page 17
Availability of substitute.
This one is pretty straight forward for their plenty of substitute in the food industry. Most large
food companies offer similar of services. Companies focus on niche area usually have
competitive advantage but this advantage is entirely depend on the size of the niche and on
whether there are any barriers preventing other firms from entering.
Competitive rivalry.
The food industry is becoming a highly competitive. The difference between one Food Company
and another is usually not that great. As a result food industry has become more like commodity
and area in which Food Company with the low cost structure, greater efficiency and better
customer services will beat out competitors. Food companies also use higher investment returns
and a variety of food investment product try to lure in customer. In the long run, were likely to
see more consolidation in the food industry. Larger companies prefer to take over or merge with
other companies rather than spend a money to market and advice to peoples.
Not only local but attempts by the cross border competitors or companies to gain stronger foot
hold in each other’s domestic market boost the intensity of the rivalry, especially when the
foreign rivals have a lower cost or an attractive product in case of engro foods so far nestle and
hale are the only diverse rival and another player that has just join the UHT milk sectors in good
milk, no doubt the competition between engro food and haleeb is quite intense both are engaged
in consistent homework just to break and attract the customer toward each other but god milk
adding to the competitor between the sectors.

12.BCG Matrix:
BCG matrix is a framework created by Boston Consulting Group to evaluate the strategic position of
the business brand portfolio and it’s potential. It classifies business portfolio into four categories based
on industry attractiveness (growth rate of that industry) and competitive position (relative market share).
Star:
in the bcg matrix I have placed 2 product in the star category that are omore and tarang as the growth
rate of these 2 products are quite high as u seen in the table.
Decide this the market share is also increasing as both of the product are relatively new in the
market as compare to its competitors and the market share Is not so well but still in this short
period the growth rate and market share is incredible. There is a lot of potential in both of the
products and company can increase its market share massive investing in these 2 products.
Investing strategies is must be used in order to constant the growth, the company must constantly
invest in order to grow the current level of market share.
Cash cow:
Olper is one of the well renowned brand by engro food and this has led to a drastic change in the
dairy industry of the Pakistan. Before olpers, haleeb and milk pack had the monopoly in the dairy
industry but after the olper success a lot of other brands good milk, nurpur etc. enter into the
market. Now the olper market has a relatively high market share and become 3rd largest milk
producer in Pakistan. Olper milk and cream come under the same umbrella of brand name olpers.
Harvesting strategy should use and engro should milk its cow for the omore and tarang in order
to increase its current market share.
Question mark:
At the end of year 2010 engro food has launched its first use brand name Olfrute has a relatively
low market share but the growth potential is quite high olfrute is facing a tough competitors with
the strong brand name of nestle the initial promotion and a sales figure depict that it can be
success full product but still the result of this brand has yet to come. In this particular period
engro food has also launched flavored milk with brand name OWSUM. Through the experience
of haleeb in the case Candia was bitter now just see what engro will do in order to make this
brand a success.
22. PRINCIPLE OF MARKETING
FINAL PROJECT Page 21
Dog:
Engro has launched a brand with the name of OLWELL with high calcium and low fat. This had
get a great failure and the market share of Olwell a compare Nesvita is quite low beside this it
sales are started decreasing as compare it previous year figure. Divesting strategy can be used as
from past 2 years the market share has been started losing and also that there is slow market
growth of this product.
23. PRINCIPLE OF MARKETING
FINAL PROJECT Page 22
13.Types of buying behavior:
HOUSEHOLD PRODUCT
LESS RISKY
SAVES TIME AND ENERGY
PURCHASED FREQUENTLY
HABITUAL BUYING
For Olper’s there is habitual buying behavior because people are not much involved in its buying
and there is low involvement for this product. There are also few differences between the brands
and we have less choice for milk in market. Consumers in this case usually do not form a strong
attitude toward a brand but select it because it is familiar. Consumer behavior does not pass
through the usual belief attitude behavior sequence. Consumers do not search extensively for
information about the Olper’s , evaluate Olper’s characteristics, and make weighty decision about
which Olper’s to buy. If they keep reaching for the same brand, it is out of habit rather than
strong brand loyalty. Consumer appear to have low involvement with most low costs, frequently
purchased products.
24. PRINCIPLE OF MARKETING
FINAL PROJECT Page 23
14.Conclusion:
Engro is going to be a market leader due to different reason like its financial position, product
quality, R & D, market share, sales growth etc. Its price is more or less equal to its
competitors, it matches its quality with its competitors and capturing its competitor’s share
from market. Engro is using its brand name and its packaging is good to promote its products
and EFL is becoming very popular as compared to its competitors.
Company has planned to make Omore world class premier quality brand like existing
brands of Engro Foods. Company is also working on cereals in coming years. They has
planned to move other dairy products as are offering by its competitors Nestle like yogurt,
flavored yogurt (raita), cereal for babies etc. Foods competitors Nestle and Haleeb are biggest
threat. There are opportunities and doors for new players are open who can be the future
competitors.
Consumer is aware now, there is need to maintain the quality of products. Consumer’s
perceptions and price differentials can cause threat for the company, Consumer’s preferences
changes timely and prices might create certain barriers in terms of the profit margins for
ENGRO FOODS.
in short Engro Foods should grow and maintain its position. That is why EFL is increasing
Market Penetration, Market Development & Product Development strategies.
