DECEMBER '09
Dear partner,
This last Newsletter o 2009 is meant to review and summarize our
activities over the past year as well as oering the opportunity to share
with you plans or growth during the coming year 2010.
It is hard to orget how we entered the year in the midst o an unsettling global
market crisis, marked by an FMCG market rapidly changing almost on a daily basis right
beore our eyes. For our company this meant meeting the challenge o being able to
adapt to these larger challenges; to make the necessary adjustments and to implementthem quickly and eectively.
A great source o corporate satisaction or us is that a number o steps we had
elt compelled to implement earlier, during 2008 (including the shekel price list at
the beginning o 2009), ortunately enabled us to stabilize this current year's sales
perormance, to ocus on marketing activities and, in general, to concentrate eorts at
improving our overall business perormance.
Looking back over the year, considerable energies were invested in the largest and
most extensive revamping our export department has undertaken in years. 2009 wasdesignated the year or improving our packaging o the ull range o Beigel & Beigel
products, both traditional avorites and new items; also their shel appearance.
Well over 50 packages have been redesigned in the course o the year, with the
conscious two-old goal o synchronizing the appearance o our bags on the shel and
standardizing package texts. All this, while at the same time making sure to comply with
individual country legal requirements.
Let it be noted that these tasks are not as simple and straightorward as might seem at
rst glance. Carrying out such export-oriented assignments has involved several o our
divisions, among them teams rom Marketing, R&D, QA, Purchasing, Warehouse sta and,
not least, Factory personnel - all working closely together in attempting in the best way
possible to supply you with quality products delivered with minimum delays.

Now... a closer look at 2010'sscheduled plans and activities:
Speaking personally, I will not deny that owing to the above changes the smooth,uninterrupted ow o products was not always as prompt or as efcient as either you or we
must insist upon. Nevertheless, now that the changes are being completed, there is every
reason to believe they represent a major step orward .
In the coming weeks we will be sending all o our customers a short "grading method" le,
showing your perormance and our projections or next year's growth.
2010 is designated the year we perect our basics, resolve any remaining time-to-market
issues, strengthen our partnerships through proessional marketing and promotion activities,
and improve direct communication with each o our valued clients.
