Problem Statement

Increase quantity by 20%.
Remake the sachet into a twin sachet

9. KEY STATISTICS
4/6/2022 Marketing Plan 9
Almost everyone loses their job when the Pandemic arrives, and this teaches us that saving a single coin is crucial to survive if
such tragedy comes knocking at our doorstep again.
Everybody has their needs, and men under the '40s and beyond are no exception at battling their confidence every day. That
is where Dove Men+Care Strengthening shampoo comes in, but the problem is that resellers and local stores do not
recognize the sachet version in poor regions. Our survey claimed that although they are familiar with it, they wouldn't risk
their money on something never aired on social media and, by all means, the sachet itself. Others also said that the product
never existed or didn't seem to know the product at all.
Therefore, since the current state of the world needs cheaper and affordable prices, and of course, saving someone's hair, my
team decided to create a product line extension of the product Dove Men+Care shampoo and, this time, it will be armed with
advertising strategies.

STRATEGIES
Segmentation
Market segmentation is a marketing strategy in which select groups of consumers are identified.
Any company should know that it cannot serve all consumers in the total market – at least not
profitably and in the same way. The variety of consumers and their needs is simply too large. Also,
most companies can serve some segments better than others. Thus, every company should not try to
focus on the entire market.
23. STRATEGIES
4/6/2022 Marketing Plan 23
Targeting
In the section Market Segmentation, we know that a company cannot serve all consumers in the total
market. Next, we should target those segments we can serve most efficiently and effectively: Market
Targeting. This is the second step of setting up our marketing strategy.
Evaluating Market Segments
We start with the market targeting process by assessing the different segments we identified in
the market segmentation.
The segment size and growth
The segment structural attractiveness
The company objectives and resources.
The primary structural factors that are meant here affect the segment's long-term attractiveness. These
structural factors are nothing else than the 5 Forces of Porter.

Porter's Five Forces Analysis
Michael E. Porter put forward a model in an article in the Harvard Business Review in 1979. This model,
known as Porter's Five Forces Model, is a strategic management tool that helps determine the competitive
landscape of an industry.
TARGETING
25. STRATEGIES
4/6/2022 Marketing Plan 25
PORTER’S FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS
TARGETING
The threat of New Entrants
• The economies of scale are reasonably challenging to achieve in Dove's industry.
• Product differentiation is vital within the industry, where firms sell differentiated products rather than
standardized products.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
• The number of suppliers in the industry Dove operates is a lot compared to the buyers.
• These suppliers' products are pretty standardized, less differentiated, and have low switching costs.
Bargaining Power of Buyers
• The number of suppliers in the industry Dove operates is much more than the number of firms
producing the products
• The product differentiation within the industry is high, so buyers cannot find alternative firms producing
a particular product
26. STRATEGIES
4/6/2022 Marketing Plan 26
TARGETING
The Threat of Substitute Products or Services
PORTER’S FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS
• There are very few substitutes available for the products produced in the industry in which Dove operates.
Furthermore, the very few available replacements are also made by low profit-earning industries.
• The very few substitutes available are high quality but way more expensive. Comparatively, firms producing
within the industry in which Dove operates sell at a lower price than substitutes, with adequate quality.
Rivalry Among Existing Firms
• The number of competitors in the industry Dove operates is very few. However, most of these are also
prominent.
• The very few competitors have a significant market share.
