Week 4 below to show assignment and grading from professor.

       

Simply Lemonade- A Lemonade that has been reported to taste   more like lime and have a tartier taste.  (“Taste   Test: Ready-To-Drink Lemonade”, 2011).

Our company’s lemonade is   made with fresh lemons and other fruity flavors for a fresh healthy lemonade.

 

Minute Maid- This lemonade   was reported to be perfectly blended but were still reported as bland.

(“Taste   Test: Ready-To-Drink Lemonade”, 2011).

Our company blends our   fresh lemonade with other fruity flavors for a nice sour taste added with vitamins   for an added health boost.

 

Natalie’s Hand-Crafted-   Reported as sweet but doesn’t seem fresh.

(“Taste   Test: Ready-To-Drink Lemonade”, 2011).

The above designates   the above brands’ taste weaknesses and can be significant. But, the Team must also report its   nutritional and ingredient strengths and weaknesses as compared to Super   Flight.

Our company prides itself   with its fresh lemonade and fruit juice blend that is carbonated giving it   that little extra fresh crispy taste. 

This hints at Super Flight’s   positioning in terms feature and benefits, value added and competitive   edge. However once again, I refer the   Team back to Part 2 to understand how this positioning can be strengthened to   more clearly differentiate the brand from the competition. 

  1. Define the pricing strategy in no more than 90 words      that you will use for the introduction of the product.

  

We believe that the best   pricing strategy for our lemonade at launch to be penetration pricing. With   penetration pricing, prices will start low with little profit margins to   attract new customers and gain market share value. This should in turn raise   awareness of our new lemonade and raise sales volume, while also creating   lower production costs and higher inventory turnover due to the increase of   sale and production.

This makes good sense. 

The considerations can be this: 

If the Team is convinced the product   is addressing an unmet need for which there is no direct competition and for   which robust demand is anticipated, then a skimming pricing strategy is   advisable. 

However, the Team has determined the   product will be introduced into a competitive marketplace wherein a   penetration pricing strategy that aims price at the middle of the market can   be implemented to encourage trial and brand-switching.

  1. Discuss in no more than 90 words the maturity life cycle      stages of your product.

  

Stage of   Maturity Life Cycle

Discussion

 

Sales volume peak

During the maturity phase   of the Product Life Cycle sales volumes tend to peak because of product   saturation in the market.

 

Maintaining market share

During the maturity phase   competition is at its highest level in the cycle, which makes it increasingly   challenging for a company to maintain their market share.

 

Stronger product   differentiation/Improvements

Through product   differentiation, improvement or changes to the product (new mixes, flavors,   or ingredient improvements) the company can keep maintaining or slow the   decrease of their market share.

 

Decreasing   in market share

0.300

Because of the high   competition at this stage companies will start to experience a decrease in   market share. This will be followed by lower profits because of price   reduction of products to maintain competitiveness, which will also bring down   price levels.

The Team has examined the maturity PLC   stage only. Note that the maturity life cycle stages are to be discussed. 

This means the Team must examine the   introduction, growth, maturity and decline stages. 

Briefly, the discussion would look   like this:

· At introduction a product must establish brand   awareness, perhaps trial the product with key target markets and price the   product – the Super Flight Team implementing penetration pricing strategy to   encourage trial and brand switching.

· During the growth stage, the Team improves quality and   adds new flavors to enhance differentiation and maintains the price due to   healthy demand. The Team seeks increased distribution coverage and modifies   promotion to shift the promotional message from brand awareness to preference.

· At maturity, the Team may enter new geographical markets   and engage in additional product modification to further differentiate the   product line from the any emerging competition rather than compete on price. 

· In the eventuality of product decline, which can be   possible with the emergence new health and taste trends, the Team will reduce   promotional expenditures, cut back distribution and possibly reduce the   price. The product, if endangered, will   then be harvested from the product line if sales no longer justify a   marketing investment. 

The Team does discuss the maturity   stage correctly.

  1. Describe in 90 words how you will use suppliers, agents,      or distributors to create your distribution channel.

  

We   can use wholesalers, resellers, retailers, and consultants since they already   have resources and relationships with customers and vendors to quickly bring   our product to the market. We will   even set up our own personal sales team to bring in new customers as well to   sell directly to these customers. We   can also set up an online web-store so that customers can order directly from   us online and get their orders shipped directly to them possibly by UPS since   they can deliver even to smaller locations. Another thing we can do is to advertise our lemonade with specific   sales for brand new customers -since this seems to help catch interest.

Good. The Team is planning to   implement a multi-channel distribution design; first indirect through wholesalers   and retailers. I don’t know what   “consultants” means. Super   Flight>Wholesales>Restaurants, Supermarkets, Convenience Stores>End-User.   

The Team is also establishing   customer-direct distribution channel through its website.
