Weakness:
Pepsodent has low penetration in the rural areas.
Pepsodent failed to incorporate fluoride into their toothpaste,which resulted in other competing toothpaste companies taking the
front seat in the toothpaste industry, such as Colgate, Close-Up,
White plus etc.
Despite efforts in changing the ingredients and improving the
toothpaste, the brand Pepsodent never rebounded from the wanein sales.

from the pack because of its notably minty flavor and teeth-
whitening ingredients. There are nice advertisements of Pepsodent

Action Programs:
Some actions have to take for some reasons:
They can change the shape of entrance tube larger. If they do such
change, consumer would use more paste and their sales will growhigher.
They have to go door to door of their customers to inform about
the product quality. Then it will increase sales promotion and they
can gain their target profit. By this way they can do direct
marketing. The brand conducts school programmes and runs a Dentibus
which primarily provides basic dental care to communities which
do not have access to a dentist.
7/31/2019 Vaiiii
23/32
The product price should be affordable for all stages of people in
our country.
They have to develop product quality and also can made variety of
flavor.
They have to generate a survey on the product to know aboutmarket value and consumer behavior.
They must implement all these actions to retain the position of
their product when the competitors come up with their new orfurther developed products.

Budget:
Actually, they dont need to target 16 crore people of our country.
If they target only 1 or 2 crore consumers and if they could sell
maximum 50 to 60 lakhs product in a month, they can make a
huge profit with the sales.
They are offering a 200gm toothpaste with a value of 56.00 taka
(whole sale price).
Variable cost for making a single product is 34.75 taka (including
packaging, Commissions, etc.) and their fixed cost is 1.65 croretaka (including salaries, advertising, insurance, other expenses,
etc.) for a single month.
7/31/2019 Vaiiii
26/32
Therefore,
Selling price = 56.00 BDT.
Variable cost = 34.75 BDT per unit.
Fixed cost = 1, 65, 00,000 BDT.
Based on these assumptions the break even calculation is:
So, if they can sell more than 7, 76,471 products in every month
they will meet the profit line.
7/31/2019 Vaiiii
27/32
For a basic assumption if they sell 50 lakhs product, then their
profit will be:
Their monthly profit will be above 23.65 crore taka.
7/31/2019 Vaiiii

Controls:
If Pepsodent wants to keep strong position in the market they
should be plan tight control measures to closely monitor quality
and consumer service satisfaction.
They can organize some free competition and can give some
remarkable and good prizes.
They also can develop their product more than before.
7/31/2019 Vaiiii
29/32
Otherwise they can add another free with their product like it
could be a toothbrush free with 200gm of Pepsodent. Or, they can
give a mini sized Pepsodent free with the main product which cansay, Buy one get one.
Another thing is that they can offer coupon like it can be a scratch
card which can contain a tour with your family to foreign country.
7/31/2019 Vaiiii
30/32
So, last of all we can say that Pepsodent is the leading toothpaste
brand for a long time in our country. They are in growth level and
their product is very popular. As their strategy is always updated withthe necessity of time being, they will able to retain their existing
position with a great success in our country.
