#3: Case – Our Very Favorite
How Maggi Develops its Products
The Maggi brand experienced a decline in sales in the UK leading up to 2004.
What Happened?
Product had come to be seen as uninteresting and old fashioned due to its dehydrated format and flavour.
It failed to meet users' increasing requirements for fresh tasting culinary aids.

Problem ?
Maggi commissioned face-to-face qualitative research to get a deeper insight into chef and consumer views.
Chefs were asked to discuss their requirements.
Market Research
Results
The results showed that consumers believed 'fresh is best‘.
However, the chefs' view was slightly different in terms of:
'My customers would like everything to be made from scratch (i.e. made from basic raw ingredients), but I don't have the time and money to do this'.
The research revealed that the market was divided into a number of segments.
A segment is a part of an overall market made up of customers with similar characteristics.
Results: Chef opinion
Chefs fitted into four main segments
The research showed a sizeable demand for Segment 3 - a target for Maggi 'A Natural Choice' products.
Brand proposition - the research defined a proposition for developing the new brand.
This new proposition was to create a product with more natural qualities for 'chefs who aim to please' who want their cooking to be as fresh tasting as possible.
Natural qualities would be defined in terms of taste, smell, look and texture.
Target market-- Maggi 'A Natural Choice' target was to be 'chefs who aim to please'.
Outcome
Their prime aim is to provide delicious, wholesome foods that customers enjoy.
These chefs enjoy their work and have a pride in the satisfaction they give customers. They are not in business just to make money.
Brand ambition - Maggi 'A Natural Choice' combines the goodness and taste of real ingredients with time and cost saving.
Outcome
#4: Case - Levi’s Curve ID
Recently launched new line of custom fit jeans, made to fit the curve of women’s body.
The new line, Levi’s® Curve ID, utilizes a revolutionary fit system based on shape, not size and was created as a result of studying more than 60,000 body scans and listening to women around the world of all shapes and sizes.
Market Research
Through this research, Levi’s® designers created a new approach to measuring a woman’s body and identified three distinct body types that account for 80 percent of women’s shapes universally.
The three Levi’s® Curve ID fits are based on these universal body types.
3 Distinct Body Types
More than half of women (54 percent) try on at least 10 pairs of jeans to find one pair they would buy.
Most women (87 percent) wish they could find jeans that fit better than the ones they own.
Most women (67 percent) believe that jeans are designed for women with “ideal” figures.
Very few women (28 percent) believe that jeans are designed to fit their bodies.
Findings of a Global Survey
#5: Case – Coca Cola GB
Coca-Cola GB carries out extensive market research to identify consumer wants in every segment of category in which it operates.
Coca Cola GB
Market research analysis of the demographics of consumers in Great Britain revealed a growth in smaller households.
The appropriate product response was to produce 1.25 litre share-size bottles.
Bottle Sizes
Market research into where specific products are consumed influences the design of pack types
For e.g. a 2 litre bottle for family consumption at home and a smaller 500ml bottle for consumption 'on the move'.
Design
A study of occasions when people drink sports drinks showed the importance of making it available in leisure centres.
Other research showed that the famous original Coca-Cola glass bottle is best targeted at restaurants and special party occasions.
Occasions
1 •Identify Opportunities
2 •Explore Solutions
3 •Measure Suitability and Effectiveness
4 •Test Market
5 •Track Market Performance
Coca Colas Research Process: 5 Stages
Some products that it has developed
Coca Cola Vanilla
Coca-Cola Vanilla had a successful launch in the USA
So it was decided to test its potential in Great Britain.
Fanta Icy Lemon
The development of this new flavour stemmed from listening directly to consumers who called the Company's care line to enquire about the availability of a lemon Fanta based on their experience on holidays abroad.
Coca Cola Share Size 1.25 lt
Desk research - growth in the number of smaller households & a change in the way we shop.
The research identified a need for a bottle size that was ideal for top-up shoppers or 1-2 person households to share over dinner.
Powerade
Desk research identified an opportunity for a new brand within the sports drink segment.
Research was used to identify target consumers and desirable product positioning.
