OBJECTIVES:


 Product benefits

 Target customers
 Packaging strategy
 Forecasting demand
 Pricing strategy
 Profitability and ROI
Metabical


 FDA approved and can be bought only through a prescription
 Lesser negative effects as compared to other available drugs
 Only 1 tablet per day
 Promotes a healthier lifestyle
(behavioural modifications)
 Came with a support plan
 First drug in the overweight
segment
Our priority

 Overweight females (BMI 25-30)
 Age group of 35-65 years
 Income level of $50,000 - $80,000
 College-educated
 The group of women wanted to lose 10- 30 pounds
 Ready to change their lifestyle to stay healthy

“ I want to make a difference to my life.”
Factors affecting
packaging

 To ensure the value addition of the consumer is maximum
 Target customers’ willingness to spend
 Likelihood of the completion of the program
 Customer perception of the brand
 Cost benefits in packaging cost
 Reaching breakeven point

 Package size decision : 12 weeks (84 pills)
Why the 12 week
program

 The target market is women who are relatively price
inelastic. So, they don’t mind paying whatever price
is set
 Usually when the consumer pays so high she is
willing to try the drug for 12 weeks and thereby the
impact that she will notice will be higher, which will
make them come and buy again
 The drop out rate becomes lesser since the customer
will not forget to repurchase or go get a prescription
Customer satisfaction is our
priority

A niche market can also give
rise to a high demand
Pricing strategy


Option 2 is a good pricing strategy
Advantages of Option 2
of pricing


Price elasticity of demand- Target consumers are
insensitive to price and their demand is relatively
inelastic

 Level of monopoly- Being the only company in the
market that is offering drugs for the overweight
category, we have monopoly in the market
Advantages of Option 2
of pricing

 Freedom to set the price - To maintain the uniqueness of
the product , we can set the price relatively high without it
affecting our demand
 Exploiting consumer surplus- Overweight consumers are
willing to pay $450 out of pocket on health care. With that
consumer surplus available, it should be used
 Considering goodwill
Disadvantages of
option 2 pricing


 Prone to competition- Monopoly is prone to competition
 Product value to customer is not equal to product priceThe consumer’s perception of the product might not match
the actual product
 Higher price might lead to lower demand- If competition
enters the market , the pricing may lead to lower demand
 Assuming customer preference does not change over 5
years
Advantages of other pricing options


Advantages:
At $75:
 Target market becomes bigger
 Low price ,high demand
At $150:
 Brand image in the market is that the product is
“premium” and high quality
Disadvantages of other
pricing options



At $75:
 The image of the product becomes that of it being a
low quality product
At $150
 Exploitation of the consumer surplus
 Target market being narrowed down too much

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Anorexic girl How crazy u feel when u cant fit into ur jeans or dress When u realize u gain a pound <number>
  • #3 These solutions are not good enough Weight loss drugs are too harmful to the body We cant follow our diet plan becauase of the temptation And we all know about the gym. The minute we decide to be healthy the first thing we do is to sign up for gym membership We all know what happen next. Relate to myself But don’t worry <number>
