Targeting the Health Conscious
• Dark chocolate can have 50% less sugar than milk
• 71% of adult consumers believe companies should do more to reduce
sugar in food and drink products (Mintel 2015)
• Ivory Succour will use natural sweeteners and less saturated fat to create
an overall healthier alternative to what’s already out there
• Growing number of type 2 diabetes and obesity means companies should
act more responsibly and continue to offer commercial yet ethical product
choices

• Ofcom said UK adults spend an average of eight hours and 41 minutes a day on a media device (Miller 2014).
• 49% of households own a smartphone (Deloitte 2014) we decided not to create a branded ‘app’ because the
older demographic which make up our target market own fewer phones than younger generations (Statista
2014).
• 73% of UK respondents to Deloitte’s survey had a social media account. For Ivory Succour it is essential to
have a social media presence which is based around consumer interaction rather than sales promotion
activity.
Media Consumption.

The two media sources that we have chosen to advertise through are: print media and
television advertising.
• Television advertising has a massive reach and specifically targets different consumers
(Yeshin 2011). We will hold two advertisements, one regular 30 second advert and a
shorter 15 second sponsorship of the ‘African Cup of Nations’ football tournament.
• 80% of respondents say they read a newspaper online or in print (Deloitte 2014).
Printed advertising gives high coverage at low cost. –
• We believe that if the readership of our chosen magazines or newspapers match that of
our target market we have achieved efficient targeting.

(Ofcom - http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/market-data-research/market-data/communications-
market-reports/cmr13/tv-audio-visual/uk-2.78 2012)
- Our sponsorship occurs on
the channel ITV4 which has
the right age demographic
that we are targeting
however is more male
orientated than we believe
our customer base will be.
- We will offset this by our
print media and regular
advertisement being more
pleasing for both genders.
