This document summarizes information about NatureView Farm, a yogurt manufacturer founded in 1989 in Cabot, Vermont. It discusses the company's objective to increase revenues to $20 million by the end of 2001 from $13 million currently. It also outlines the key team members and competitors. The issues section notes that the VC firm needs to cash out its investment and three options for growth are analyzed: expanding top SKUs into supermarkets, expanding 32 oz sizes, or introducing children's multi-packs into natural food stores. The analysis concludes that introducing multi-packs into natural food stores has the least risk and is the safest option to meet revenue targets while remaining true to the brand.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

24. Analysing 3 Options..
Option 1 Option 2 Option 3
By Walter Bellini By Jack Gottlieb By Kelly Riley
Expand the top 6 SKUs out of
the 8 SKUs in the 8 Oz. line
Expand 4 SKUs of the 32 oz.
size.
Expand via 2 children’s multipack
Expand in top 1 or 2
Supermarkets
Expand nationally in large
number of Supermarkets
Stay in natural food channel.
25.
26.
27. 8 oz. Size represents the largest dollar.
High Revenue Potential
28.
29. Higher risks and costs
SG&A expenses - increase -
$320,000 /year ($200,000 +
sales staff managing
supermarket brokers in the 2
regions; $120,000 - towards
additional marketing staff
30.
31.
32. 32-oz. cups - smaller unit & dollar share of
the yogurt market but generate above-
average gross profit margin for Natureview
(43.6% vs. 36.0% for the 8-oz. line)
For a 32-oz. expansion,
marketing expenses
significantly lower —only
10% of cost for 8-oz. size in
each region i.e. $120,000 /
region per year
33.
34. Risk whether new users would readily
“enter the brand” via a multi- use size
Will need to hire sales
personnel – should have
experience selling to the
more sophisticated
supermarket channel
35.
36.
37. Introduce 2 SKUs of a children’s multi-pack
into the natural foods channel
Natural foods channel growing
almost 7 X faster than
supermarket channel
38.
39.
40.
41.
42. SKU costs
Option 1: YES
Option 2: YES
Option 3: NO
Advertising Costs:
Option 1 > Option 3 > Option 2
By analysing the 3 options we see that the safest option is OPTION 3
because:
It has less risk associated
The brand remains true to its original channels
Is more coherent with CEO’s admonition
Will meet the target of > $20,000,000 in time.
