unnoticed

14. A 16 weeks market test conducted
The Market Test of Krispy Natural
1. Columbus + Ohio
2. Three Cities of South-East America
Expected to secure 15% shelf space in supermarkets
Two territories selected –
15. The test in first territory –
The Market Test of Krispy Natural
1. Columbus + Ohio
– No prior presence in market
– Brand completely new to the Buyer
– Advertisements on TV, on-line promos and discount couponing
– Existing Sales & Marketing resources as well as Direct Stores Delivery
– Additional 5 hired representatives dedicated for sales of Krispy Natural
– Expected to capture 9% market share (from existing 0%)
16. The test in second territory –
The Market Test of Krispy Natural
– Brand awareness through existing regular products
– “Krispy Natural” – the premium product to be promoted
– Advertisements on TV, on-line promos and discount couponing
– Existing Sales & Marketing resources as well as Direct Stores Delivery
– Additional 5 hired representatives dedicated for sales of Krispy Natural
– Expected to increase market share from existing 9% to 15%
2. Three Cities of South-East America
17. The test results in Columbus + Ohio –
Results
– Achieved market share of 18% against expected 9%
– Category volume increased by 30%
The test results in three cities of South-East –
– Gained market share by 1% against expected 9%
– Category volume increased slightly
19. Results
The trades –
– Receptive, but product display not up to the expectation
– Probably because discount on a new launch was comparatively lower (15%)
20. Based on the market test, the business expectations look widely varying
Nevertheless, hopes to cross $500 Million in 1st year looks realistic
But the salty snack market share being 621 Million, crossing 1000 Million is difficult
The Business Projections
21. The test implementation can be ramped up and can be rolled out
nationally by –
– Creating brand awareness in territories lacking it
– Popularizing the taste and hence increasing buying preference
– Applying extra sales force (other than DSD)
– Attracting trades and capturing higher shelf space
