accordingly:-

and quality.

customers.
• Extending product line beyond single serve and introducing more
flavors.
• After many trials - The test result showed 77%-92% positive purchase

Market result Highlights
Dollar share post launch and
annual projection ->>>
Marketing plans
• Marteking Plan for Columbus
Sell completely new line of
products and special crispy force
representatives hired
These “Krispy Force” reps.
worked with Pemberton regional
and district sales managers and
focused solely on selling the new
Krispy Natural product line.
• Marketing Plan for SouthEast
ability to reposition the product to
offer a more premium offering
The Pemberton DSD route
delivery representatives worked
with regional and district sales
managers, handling sales and
service of the new Krispy Natural
line.
Why Krispy’s market share in Southwest
didn’t increase significantly ?
Columbus was able to achieve an 18% market share by stealing share
from other competitors.
However in Southeast the trade was generally receptive to the new
Krispy Natural line due to the relatively low introductory trade case
discount of 15%.
Sales and Channel responses
The channel played a key role .
Midwest division sales manager Wanda Fitzgerald explained “We have great
relationships with the trade:
1) Our DSD reps are in the stores every week and the store managers respect our
knowledge of the business.
2) The large chain headquarter buyers were particularly impressed with the consumer
research results and inventory turn estimates for Krispy Natural.
3) The pull marketing really created a buzz and customers were coming to the stores
asking for Krispy Natural by name.
4) They also loved all the promotional activity and consumer advertising.
Need more…………..
Extensive marketing in Southeast cities
Contemporize brand engagement
Tailor the Krispy Natural to different need
states
