Page 21: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Price

“The sum of all the values consumers give up in order to gain the benefits of having or using a product or service.”

Price is the one, which creates sales revenue – all other parts of marketing mix are cost.

Page 22: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

FACTORS

There are following factors that influenced pricing decisions.

Changes in technology Effect of suppliers Competitive pressure Increasing price sensitivity of the customers

Page 23: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Pricing of the Product

According to David Jobber, pricing of a product mainly depends on 3 factors:

COST ORIENTED PRICING COMPETITOR ORIENTED PRICING Market oriented pricing

Page 24: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Pricing strategies

There are following pricing strategies: Penetration pricing Psychological Bundling Price discrimination Price flexibility Negotiating margins

Page 25: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Penetration pricing

Penetration pricing is the pricing technique used by the firm in which offering a low price for a new product in order to attract more customers away from the competitors.

Page 26: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

The new products introduce by Nestle last two years is the Maggi new flavor of the instant noodles. So, they are sold in a lower price which is Rs 18 in order to attract new customers. Nestle want to attract more customer away from their competitor which also produce the similar flavor which sold at rs20. However, the price of this product increased to around rs19. This is because they had gained larger market share and customer base.

Example

Page 27: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Psychological pricing

Psychological pricing is a pricing strategy that helps to create a positive psychological impact on the buyers and tempts then to purchase a product.

The selling price of the products are often expressed as “odd price” which a little less than a round number.

Most of the Nestle Company’s products are using this psychological pricing strategy

Page 28: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Example

Nestle Bliss which is one of the chilled diary product produced by Nestle sold at rm3.95. Consumer will have a positive perspective on the price which they feel like this product is selling at rm3 rather than rm4. Therefore, they will feel the price is cheap, and will buy it.

Page 29: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Bundling

Bundling (package tie-in sale) is a type of tie-in sale in which two goods are combined so that customers cannot buy either good separately.

Nestle company usually use mix bundle rather than pure bundle

Page 30: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Example

Nestle always do the promotion in supermarket like purchase 2 bottles of Nestle Bliss at rm7.50 only. Original price of 1 bottle costs rm3.99. If consumer purchase 2, it is much cheaper. As a rational consumer, we normally ss purchase 2 bottles rather than 1, because we feel like it is much cheaper. Therefore, this pricing strategy can increase sales volume and maximize profit very efficiently in both short-term and long-term

Page 31: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Price discrimination

It is refers to practice in which a firm charges consumers different prices for the same good.

There are three types of price discrimination Perfect price discrimination Quantity price discrimination Multimarket price discrimination

Page 32: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Perfect price discrimination

Perfect price discrimination happens when firm charges each individual customer his reservation price. Reservation price means the maximum price that the customer willing to pay for a good.

Nestle as a food and beverage company is not suitable to practice this type of price discrimination because it is hard for Nestle to prevent resale. Therefore, imperfect price discrimination is not applicable for Nestle company

Page 33: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Quantity price discrimination

Most of the customers are willing to pay more for the first few units of good they purchase, but as the unit of purchase increase, their reservation price will start to decline. Therefore, in this situation, firm may choose to discriminate the price base on the quantity. This type of price discrimination is called quantity price discrimination

Normally, this type of price discrimination is applied by company that provides utilities to consumer. Hence, this type of price discrimination is not applicable to Nestle because Nestle usually has a fixed price for its good and service

Page 34: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Multimarket price discrimination

Multimarket price discrimination occurs when firm divide its customer into several groups and charges different price for each group of customer provided that each group have different elasticity of demand curve

, Nestle can practice multimarket price discrimination in order to gain more profit

Page 35: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Example

, the demand for Milo in Malaysia and Pakistan is different. In Malaysia, people demand more for Milo, therefore, when the price of Milo increase, the quantity demanded will not change a lot, whereas, in Pakistan, the demand of Milo lesser, therefore, when the price of Milo increase, people will tend to change to other drinks like coffee

Page 36: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

NEGOTIATING MARGINS

In certain market customer expects a price reduction in some products. Competitive discounts, fast payment discounts an annual volume bonus and other promotional allowances come under this category.

Nestle and its negotiations with its suppliers made them to gain a good reasonable margin in all its goods.

Page 37: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Price flexibility

Flexible prices are the key factor of success of nestle in global markets

For example: MilkPak being the largest selling

brand is being sold out at the same price as that of other low quality products while maintaining its quality.

Page 38: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Conclusion

Tie-in sales is the best pricing strategy to be used by Nestle in order to maximize the profits of the firm. This is because this strategy in which the purchase of one product is made the condition of sales for another product.

Page 39: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Place(Distribution)NESTLÉ'S EXCELLENCE IN PROVIDING

CONVENIENCE TO CUSTOMERS

Page 40: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Place“Product distribution (or place) is one of the four elements of the marketing mix. Distribution is the process of making a product or service available for use or consumption by a consumer or business user, using direct means, or using indirect means with intermediaries.”Just like Nestlé's eminence in other 3 marketing Ps, she has excellent means to distribute products within Pakistan, distribute its global products to Pakistan and across the globe.

Fair Price Shops ,Wholesaler and Retailer

Nestle Corporation dispatch their products from distribution centres to its fair price shops near or inside its factories where it sell its products at relatively lower price compared with its price in market.

Nestle corporation sell its products by giving them large bulk discounts and then send its products directly from its warehouses or distribution centres to the wholesale corporate customers which such as Hyperstar, Metro in Pakistan, Tesco and ASDA in UK and Walmart in USA

Despite the fact that nestle is a huge multinational giant it also sell its products directly to small retailers, grocery and sometimes to even individual customers depending on special orders.

Nestle Corporation have a very strong inventory management of its raw materials, goods in progress and finished good.

an efficient way. So they make available Cerelac for those customers who want more profit from the product. Cerelac includes a high nutrition for baby’s whose age is less than 1 year. Two very important things rice and milk remain added in cerelac

Page 67: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

TARGETING Target marketing:

“A set of buyer sharing common needs or characteristics that

company needs to serve”

Page 68: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Target marketing:

In this case, we found out Nestle focuses on urban areas rather than rural areas. The consumption of Nestle products is often in cities as compared to villages. This may be due to income and educational level.

Page 69: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Target marketing:

Nestle distributes their target market because of having unique requirements and wants. Nestle Pakistan selected their target market into two market coverage policy:

1) Differentiated marketing2) Concentrated marketing

Page 70: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Target marketing:

Differentiated marketing: Nestle choose the differentiated marketing. He

provides different product for many segments based on different ages, occupation, season and climate of Pakistan.

For example: Nescafe 3 in 1 Koko Krunch, Nesquick Nescafe Ice

Page 71: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Target marketing: Concentrated marketing: Through concentrated marketing, Nestlé

earned a strong market position because of its very good knowledge of consumer requirement.

For example: Nestlé offers nutritious milk powder.

Lectogen 1 for babies whose age is less than 7 months and lectogen 3 for babies whose age is not more than 12month. It also make available baby nutrition cerelac for baby more than 12 months.

Page 72: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

income and high income. People will purchase healthy and nutritious food and beverages when they have enough monetary resources to back up them.

Page 73: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

For segmentation by educational level Nestle tends to pay more attention to those consumers who has

an education background. They will be more concern of their health and they will do more to maintain it.

Page 74: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Target marketing(cont….)

Form personality segmentation Nestle is targeting consumers who are more outgoing and

outdoorsy. It is because they require more energy and nutrition that they have lost during their activities. By adapting nutritional input to physical needs, they can get the most from their body

Page 75: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

From the social class and lifestyle segments Nestle is targeting consumers who are belong to the higher

social classes. They have high purchasing power so that they can afford more luxuries such as Nestle’s products

SWOT ANALYSIS OF NESTLE

Page 85: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

SWOT ANALYSIS

 SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. This evaluates the external and internal environment affecting the company. The internal components of the company are explored through the Strength and Weakness aspect, while the external components are summarized through the Opportunities and Threats aspect. 

Page 86: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

STRENGTHS

Let’s start with the first step to SWOT analysis of Nestle, which is determining the brand’s strengths: Its annual earnings are more than $1 billion dollars from its 29

operating brands and with 8000 products under the belt, so its not easy for any corporation to compete against nestle.

Nestle provides quality products for the sake of their customer satisfaction.

The multinational company is successfully operating in more than 100 countries and has an unmatchable distribution channel around the world.

Page 87: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

STRENGTHS

To maintain its leading position in the market, nestle has not only been forming partnerships with other leading companies, but is also acquiring several others, resulting in remarkable growth.

Nestle is a reputable brand and is well-known almost everywhere , as its products are used by millions of people each day.

Nestle has qualified workforce, skilled labor, provides large number of offerings and friendly environment.

Page 88: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

STRENGTHS

Nestle has one of the most advanced R&D capabilities through which they introduce new products every year giving the brand a huge advantage over its competitors. Nestle invested more than $2 billion in R&D in 2011.

It is a large scale organization, with abundant funds and has the capability of acquiring weaker firms by throwing them out of competition.

Page 89: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

WEAKNESSES

The next step to SWOT analysis of Nestle is its weaknesses: Perhaps the biggest weakness is their inability to provide

consistency in the quality of their food products, as Nestle often has to call in many products due to poor supplies or contamination, hurting the image of the company.

Nestle has faced a lot of criticism on a variety of issues, such as the horsemeat scandal and child labor, which it has not been able to avert.

Page 90: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

WEAKNESSES

The company has announced and is involved in many programs that aim to make company more eco-friendly and improving the working conditions of its suppliers. Still, Nestlé receives a lot criticism over the effectiveness of its programs.

It is a main weakness of MilkPak that there are different companies of milk but the name of nestle MilkPak is always stand in the last because of low advertising and marketing opportunities.

Page 91: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

WEAKNESSES

Due to the advanced technologies and a long list of formalities, Nestle has to bear a lot of cost (upto 40% more than its local competitors).

Feasibility of new products needs to be analyzed, e.g. Nestea was launched some years back but it failed because no customer demand for it existed.

Page 92: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

OPPORTUNITIESStarting with the externals to SWOT analysis of Nestle, let’s take a look at the opportunities the company has: The trend of buying and consuming only healthy

food products is a major shift in consumer tastes and opens up an immense market for companies. Currently, Nestlé tries to introduce more healthy food products in response to the trend.

Many new startups are forming and introducing new products for well-being or revolutionizing the ways those products are made. Startups are cheap and can easily be acquired. Nestlé is focusing on providing more well-being products and this is a great opportunity to expand its portfolio.

Page 93: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

OPPORTUNITIES

Nestle is already engaged in partnerships with a number of major companies, such as Coca-Cola, and several others, opening doors of opportunities for the company.

There are substantial growth opportunities considering the average yield of Pakistani animals at only 1,100 liters/annum as compared to 6,000 liters/annum for animals in Europe and USA.

Page 94: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

THREATS

And finally, the final part to completing SWOT analysis of Nestle is the threats: The brand’s irresponsibility to run thorough quality assurance on its

products resulted in providing contaminated food and other products on the market, which can hurt the reputation of the company and lead to losses.

Nestle is the leading supplier of chocolate and cocoa products. The increasing trend towards healthy eating will result in major declines in demand.

Inflation is getting higher and higher so the purchasing power of the people is decreasing day by day.

Page 95: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

THREATS

Economic slowdown can reduce demand. Two main competitors Haleeb and Olpers are main threat for MilkPak especially the Olpers is growing very fast.

The growing number of supermarkets and other retailers are introducing their own label products that cost less and can easily compete with Nestlé’s product portfolio.

The demand for raw food is expected to increase as population and economy grows. As a result, Nestle will have to face higher costs and tighter margins.

Page 96: Marketing Mix of Nestle Company

Conclusion

So, after properly going through this SWOT analysis, we have come to this conclusion that Nestle, without a doubt is one of the most successful food brands out there. However, they can maximize their potential by dealing with the criticisms that have become synonymous with the brand itself.
