AGENDA

• Implementation Plan
Company Background
• Founded in 1892 by Joel Cheek in Nashville, Tennessee
• Maxwell house produces a variety of ground coffee. (ex. 100%
Columbian, Dark Roast…)
• Produces many line extensions such as instant coffee,
beverage mixes
• Fun Fact: Maxwell house coffee had the 26 President of the
United States, Theodore Roosevelt visit and stated the coffee
was “good to the last drop”
Organizational Objectives
• Increase revenue of overall sales by 15% from January 2016 to December 2016
• Increase unit sales of ground canned coffee by 30,000 units in Loblaws and Metro
locations in Ontario in 2016

products associated with
coffee (mugs, creamers)

Microwavable coffee
(market development)
ALT C: Implementing a new
line of tea and hot
chocolate as part of a new
winter collection

TOTAL RATING 13 11 19
Recommendation
Alternatives Pros Cons
Alternative A
Bundle with other products
associated with coffee (mugs,
creamers)
• Increase total unit sales under
the Maxwell house brand
• Bring awareness to the lesser
known products in the Maxwell
brand
• Higher customer value
• Loss of profit on individual sales
• Takes up more shelf-facing that
could be filled with other
Maxwell House products
Alternative B
Launch a new line of Microwavable
coffee (market development)
• Penetrates the on-the-go
market(convenience, active
lifestyles)
• It is an untapped market
• Risk of reduced product quality
• Risk of low consumer appeal
Alternative C
Implementing a new line of tea and
hot chocolate as part of a new
winter collection
• Brand diversity
• Increases market share
(currently holding 12.9% of
market share)
• Risk of failure
• Possibility of market saturation
Why is Alternative A the best option?
• Has the best flexibility out of the other two options, even though the weight was lower
than C
• Alt. A has the best improvement for both objectives
• Will increase unit sale while increasing revenue of other products under the Maxwell
house brand
• With this alternative Maxwell would not have to risk additional capital because of the
use of already established products
• Its ranking in the evaluation matrix was 2nd with 13 points
Target Market
• Male and female, ages 30+
• They emphasise value and efficiency
• Urban active lifestyle
