that are useful for explanation, prediction and control of the business activities. Weare not an
expert in nestle but we have analysis the firms Indian marketing strategy inthe
field of their brand awareness, products and s ystem design, product

from their product line. It also includes business principles of the organization.



Nestle coat of arms, the birds nest, which refers to his name, has become a symbol
for the products being a safe care for their consumer product safety and quality.Research and
development based innovation capacity and strong brands are priority for Nestle.

Every organization needs to have clear marketing objectives and the major route to achieving
organizational goals will depend on strategy.Developing a strategy involves establishing clear
aims and objectives around which the framework for a policy is created. Having established its
strategy, an organization can then work out its day-to-day tools and tactics to meet the
objectives.The success of any business entity solely depends on how effectively it utilizes its
optimum resources. The company should always be ready to make necessary changes according
to the requirements, in order to attract more customers so as to maintain a substantial growth in
the market.

and use such as NESTLE Milk, NESTLE SLIM Milk, NESTLE Fresh 'n' Natural Dahi and
NESTLE JeeraRaita. Beginning with its first investment in Moga in 1961, where the
Government wanted Nestle to develop the milk economy. Progress in Moga required the
introduction of Nestls Agricultural Services to educate, advise and help the farmer in a variety
of aspects.

Nestls regular and substantial investments established that it was here to stay. In 1967, Nestle
set up its next factory at Choladi (Tamil Nadu) as a pilot plant to process the tea grown in the
area into soluble tea. The Nanjangud factory (Karnataka) became operational in the year 1989. In
1990, the company entered into the chocolate business by introducing Nestle Premium

CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY










7





Secondary research can be described as the most widely used method for data collection.
This process involves accessing information that is already gathered from either the
originator or a distributor of primary research. Secondary research includes collecting
information from third-party sources such as company websites, sales and accounting
records, magazine articles and marketing research reports. It also includes any previously
gathered information used by the marketer from any internal or external source.

Achieving accuracy in any research requires in depth study regarding the subject. As the
prime objective of the project is to compare Cadbury with the existing competitors in the
market and the impact of Nestle on Cadbury, the research methodology adopted is
basically based on secondary data. Sources of secondary data used to obtain information
on Cadbury and its competitor history, current issues, policies, procedures etc, wherever
required.

2)Magazines
3)Newspapers

SECONDARY DATA

Henri Nestl (1814 - 1890)

The key factor which drove the early history of the enterprise that would become the Nestl
Company was Henri Nestl's search for a healthy, economical alternative to breastfeeding for
mothers who could not feed their infants at the breast.
In the mid-1860s Nestl, a trained pharmacist began experimenting with various combinations of
cow's milk, wheat flour and sugar in an attempt to develop an alternative source of infant
nutrition for mothers who were unable to breast feed. His ultimate goal was to help combat the
problem of infant mortality due to malnutrition.

He called the new product FarineLactee Henri Nestl. Nestl's first customer was a premature
infant who could tolerate neither his mother's milk nor any of the conventional substitutes, and
had been given up for lost by local physicians. People quickly recognized the value of the new
product, after Nestl's new formula saved the child's life and within a few years, FarineLactee
Nestl was being marketed in much of Europe.

Henri Nestl also showed early understanding of the power of branding. He had adopted his own
coat of arms as a trademark; in his German dialect, Nestl means 'little nest'. One of his agents
suggested that the nest could be exchanged for the white cross of the Swiss flag. His response
was firm: "I regret that I cannot allow you to change my nest for a Swiss cross .... I cannot have a
different trademark in every country; anyone can make use of a cross, but no-one else may use
my coat of arms."





10




Meanwhile, the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company, founded in 1866 by Americans
Charles and George Page, broadened its product line in the mid-1870s to include cheese
and infant formulas.The Nestl Company, which had been purchased from Henri Nestl
by Jules Monnerat in 1874, responded by launching a condensed milk product of its own.
The two companies remained fierce competitors until their merger in 1905.
Some other important firsts occurred during those years. In 1875 Vevey resident Daniel
Peter figured out how to combine milk and cocoa powder to create milk chocolate. Peter,
a friend and neighbor of Henri Nestl, started a company that quickly became the world's
leading maker of chocolate and later merged with Nestl. In 1882 Swiss miller Julius
Maggi created a food product utilizing legumes that was quick to prepare and easy to
digest.
His instant pea and bean soups helped launch Maggi & Company. By the turn of the
century, his company was producing not only powdered soups, but also bouillon cubes,
and sauces and flavorings.

HISTORY OF NESTLE

1866 -1905
In the 1860s Henri Nestl, a pharmacist, developed a foodfor babies who were unable to
breastfeed. His first successwas a premature infant who could not tolerate his mother'smilkor any
of the usual substitutes. People quicklyrecognized the value of the new product, after Nestl's
newformula saved the child's life, and soon, FarineLacteHenriNestl was being sold in much of
Europe.

1905-1918
In 1905 Nestl merged with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed MilkCompany. By the early 1900s, the
company was operatingfactories in the United States, Britain, Germany and Spain.World War I
created new demand for dairy products in theform of government contracts. By the end of the
war,Nestl's production had more than doubled.

1918 -1938
After the war Government contracts dried up and consumersswitched back to fresh milk.
However,Nestl'smanagementresponded quickly, streamlining operations and reducingdebt. The
1920s saw Nestl's first expansion into newproducts, with chocolate the Company's second
mostimportant activity.

1938 -1944
Nestl felt the effects of World War II immediately. Profitsdropped from $20 million in 1938 to
$6 million in 1939.Factories were established in developing countries,particularly Latin
America. Ironically, the war helped with theintroduction of the Company's newest product,
Nescafe,which was a staple drink of the US military. Nestl'sproduction and sales rose in the
wartime economy.

1944 -1975
The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamicphase for Nestl. Growth accelerated
and companies wereacquired. In 1947 came the merger with Magi seasoningsand soups. Crosse
& Blackwell followed in 1950, as didFindus (1963), Libby's (1971) and Stouffer's
(1973).Diversification came with a shareholding in LOreal in 1974.

1975 -1981
Nestl's growth in the developing world partially offset aslowdown in the Company's traditional
markets. Nestl madeits second venture outside the food industry by acquiringAlcon
Laboratories Inc...








12


1981 -1996
Nestl divested a number of businesses1980 / 1984. In 1984,Nestl's improved bottom line
allowed the Company tolaunch a new round of acquisitions, the most importantbeing American
food giant Carnation.

1996+
The first half of the 1990s proved to be favorable for Nestl trade barriers crumbled and world
markets developed intomore or less integrated trading areas. Since 1996 there havebeen
acquisitions including San Pellegrino (1997), SpillersPet foods (1998) and Ralston Purina
(2002). There were twomajor acquisitions in North America, both in 2002: in July,Nestl merged
its U.S. ice cream business into Dreyer's, andin August, a USD 2.6bn acquisition was announced
of Chef America, Inc. On June 25 Neslte India launches new variant of Maggi Delists securities
from the Delhi Stock Exchange Association Ltd (DSE) w.e.f. July 15, 2005. Nestle's starts

NESTLE INDIAS STORY



Nestls relationship with India dates back to 1912, when it began trading as The Nestl Anglo-
Swiss Condensed Milk Company (Export) Limited, importing and selling finished products in
the Indian market. After Indias independence in 1947, the economic policies of the Indian
Government emphasized the need for local production. Nestl responded to Indias aspirations
by forming a company in India and set up its first factory in 1961 at Moga, Punjab, where the
Government wanted Nestl to develop the milk economy. Progress in Moga required the
introduction of Nestls Agricultural Services to educateadvice and help the farmer in a variety
of aspects. From increasing the milk yield of their cows through improved dairy farming
methods, to irrigation, scientific crop management practices and helping with the procurement of
bank loans. Nestl set up milk collection centers that would not only ensure prompt collection
and pay fair prices, but also instill amongst the community, a confidence in the dairy business.
Progress involved the creation of prosperity on an on-going and sustainable basis that has
resulted in not just the transformation of Moga into a prosperous and vibrant milk district today,
but a thriving hub of industrial activity, as well.





20

Nestl has been a partner in India's growth for over nine decades now and has built a very special
relationship of trust and commitment with the people of India. The Company's activities in India
have facilitated direct and indirect employment and provides livelihood to about one million
people including farmers, suppliers of packaging materials, services and other goods.
Nestl India is a responsible organization and facilitates initiatives that help to improve the
quality of life in the communities where it operates.

NESTLE SUCCESS STORY

From the famous Nestl's chocolate that gratifies the sweet tooth of millions, to Stouffer's frozen
family dinners served up by harried soccer moms, to Fancy Feast cat food for pampered felines
from coast to coast, Nestl USA's basket of products caters to a wide range of consumer needs.
For many years, the operations of this US$6.6 billion subsidiary
of Swiss food giant Nestl SA reflected the diversity and
individuality of its hundreds of brands. Created in 1991 to unify
disparate divisions, Nestl USA's business units nevertheless
remained largely autonomous, and that arrangement worked
well for a number of years. But, as competition heated up
with massive industry consolidation and retailers' private label
products eroding customer loyalty and squeezing margins
Nestl USA needed to wring out efficiencies to slash costs and
boost bottom-line performance.
In response, the company crafted a vision it called One Nestl
a vision that would introduce common processes, standards,
and systems across the enterprise, resulting in unprecedented
economies of scale and cost savings.
To make that vision a reality, Nestl USA selected SAP software to automate and integrate all
operations, from procurement through production, distribution, and customer care. At the same
time, Nestl USA was well aware that this was not simply a software implementation that would
automate existing processes, but rather an undertaking that would mean fundamental changes in
how it approached and ran its business.











"Anyone who simply lays the
technology on top of existing
business processes is
doomed. This is the time to
unite far-flung parts of the
business into a cohesive,
smart, and efficient whole
and that's done by
fundamentally reworking
how the company operates."
Jack Rinquist, Deloitte




22

From vision to reality

To that end, Nestl USA first reworked, standardized, and integrated its operations, and then
implemented the technology to support its new and improved way of doing business. And all of
this was done while making certain that employees had the appropriate training for their new
jobs.
This was no easy task to be accomplished overnight, that's for sure.
"Nestl USA did it right. A huge SAP implementation like this is so not about the software,"
says Jack Ringquist, a Deloitte Consulting partner helping to drive Nestl USA's transformation
efforts. "Anyone who simply lays the technology on top of existing business processes is
doomed. This is the time to unite far-flung parts of the business into a cohesive, smart, and
efficient whole and that's done by fundamentally reworking how the company operates."






23

MARKETING MIX

Elements of the marketing mix are often referred to as the "Four 'P'sa phrase used since
the1960's












Product - It is a tangible good or an intangible service that is mass produced or manufactured
on a large scale with a specific volume of units. Intangible products are service based like the
tourism industry& the hotel industry or codes-based products like cellphone load and credits.
Typical examples of a mass produced tangible object are the motor carand the disposable razor.
A less obvious but ubiquitous mass produced service is a computer operating system. Packaging
also needs to be taken into consideration. Every product is subject to a life-cycle including a
growth phase followed by an eventual period of decline as the product approaches market




29
saturation. To retain its competitiveness in the market, product differentiation is required and is
one of the strategies to differentiate a product from its competitors.


Price The price is the amount a customer pays for the product. The business may increase or
decrease the price of product if other stores have the same product.


Promotion It represents all of the communications that a marketer may use in the
marketplace. Promotion has four distinct elements: advertising, public relations, personal selling
and sales promotion. A certain amount of crossover occurs when promotion uses the four
principal elements together, which is common in film promotion. Advertising covers any
communication that is paid for, from cinema commercials, radio and Internet adverts through
print media and billboards. Public relations are where the communication is not directly paid for
and includes press releases, sponsorship deals, exhibitions, conferences, seminars or trade fairs
and events. Word of mouth is any apparently informal communication about the product by
ordinary individuals, satisfied customers or people specifically engaged to create word of mouth
momentum. Sales staff often plays an important role in word of mouth and Public Relations.


Place A way of getting the product to the consumer and/or how easily accessible it is to
consumers.

MARKETING MIX OF NESTLE


Nestle, a very well known brand that is now housing thousands of products was primarily formed
for helping the infants survival who could not feed on mothers lactation., its first product being
"FarineLactee Henri Nestle". The brand was introduced by Henry Russel in 1866, which was
boosted up by its merger in 1905 with Anglo Swiss MilkCompany, headquartered in Vevey,
Switzerland.



Product

Being the worlds largest food and nutrition company almost six thousand products are being
hosted under the brand named Nestle.

Its products are very wide spread in range counting almost all daily use products as well as
occasionally used products. The products includes coffee, bottled water, cereals, pharmaceutical
products like lens care solutions, infant food, beverages, chocolates, candies, ice
creams, refrigerated foods, yogurt, milk cream a very unusual product that is pet food and the
largest selling brand milkman. All these categories are subdivided to the diverse choices of
customers including different sizes and flavors (Kowitt, 2010).

Products that are introduced in the market are first screened through high profile research and
development sector including food processing, micro analytical research and proper delivery of
functionalities in the food products thus promising the healthy goods for consumers.
Main raw material for its milk products are UHT treated and packed in tetra packaging,
moreover the packaging is long lasting as well as tempting.

As hygiene is a basic ethical question for edible products, so Nestle has a full concern and
focus on this parameter.

Nestle provides the product compliance to the customers including all legal supports.

Nutrition quality is preferably determined and is provided on the packing of the product to
facilitate consumers to check their preferences along with the expiry dates.

Complaints if any are timely responded and suggestions are always welcomed.






31





Price

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.

Their marketing strategy includes a wide range of pricing strategy, and by doing this
they can maintain their product rates at a sustainable position.

Prices are affordable to almost all types of consumers as they have wide range of single
product as in the case of beverages, fruit juices are affordable to low economy class and
expensive tin packed beverages are also doing business in the market.

Bulk purchase discount is also provided at the whole sale markets as well as at the
market stores.

Seasonal price variations are also seen, especially in the case of chocolate products,
either by upsizing at the same price or reducing the sale price.






32


Place

Nestle products have their main business area in Europe from where they get almost 90
percent of the sales and revenues.

Nestle is running globally, its setup being run in 86 countries. So, the sales are also
done globally and are impulsive ones.

The products are not directly thrown into the market, rather a full procedure is followed
including all the essentials from Manufacturer, Distributor, Wholesaler, Retailer and
finally to Consumer.

Nestle products are available in all its variety at the maximum outlets, as the company is
always looking forward to expand its outlets

























33
Promotion

Promotion strategies of the company are very well planned and they always pay
multiples of the expected amounts.

Advertising on electronic and print media along with sign boards having tempting
figurations of the brand always proves good for the brand

Sometimes limited economy offers boost up the popularity of brand especially in
the case when new induction to the market is made.

Strategy - Nestl Roadmap to Good Food, Good Life


Nestls objectives are to be recognised as the world leader in Nutrition, Health and Wellness,
trusted by all its stakeholders, and to be the reference for financial performance in its industry.

We believe that leadership is not just about size; it is also about behaviour. Trust, too, is about
behaviour; and we recognise that trust is earned only over a long period of time by consistently
delivering on our promises. These objectives and behaviours are encapsulated in the simple
phrase, Good Food, Good Life, a phrase that sums up our corporate ambition.

The Nestl Roadmap is intended to create alignment for our people behind a cohesive set of
strategic priorities that will accelerate the achievement of our objectives. These objectives
demand from our people a blend of long-term inspiration needed to build for the future and
short-term entrepreneurial actions, delivering the necessary level of performance.
We are seeking to achieve leadership and earn that trust by satisfying the expectations of
consumers, whose daily choices drive our performance, of shareholders, of the communities in
which we operate and of society as a whole. We believe that it is only possible to create long-
term sustainable value for our shareholders if our behaviour, strategies and operations are also
creating value for the communities where we operate, for our business partners and, of course,
for our consumers. We call this Creating Shared Value.

We are investing for the future to ensure the financial and environmental sustainability of our
actions and operations: in capacity, in technologies, in capabilities, in people, in brands, in R&D.
Our aim is to meet todays needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their needs, and to do so in a way which will ensure profitable growth year after year and a high
level of returns for our shareholders and society at large over the long term.

done considering the concept of mass personage.
Our product will be tailored to individual needs (desired taste) but promotion will attract all of
them collectively. Furthermore we will be following pull strategy and approach our end users
ourselves with the help of various promotional activities. In our case no intermediary (whole
sellers) is involved. Our distribution channel will be as follow.

PRICE FIXATION STRATIGIES

These are following objectives of nestle pure life regarding price fixation:

Profit Earning:

Profit earning is the main objective of every company but in case of nestle their profit margin is
low. Only a few amount of profit is collected from pure life water.







36
Customer satisfaction:

In nestle pure life price is not fixed by keeping in mind profit motive, only customer satisfaction
is kept in mind while fixing the prices.

STRATIGIES FOR FIXING THE PRICE:

STRATEGIES FOR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES:

Every product on the shelf, every service and every customer contact helps to shape this image.
A Nestl brand name on a product is a promise to the customer that it is safe to consume, that it
complies with all regulations and that it meets high standards of quality. Customers expect us to
keep this promise every time. Under no circumstances will we compromise on the safety of a
product and every effort must be made to avoid hazards to health. Likewise, compliance with all
relevant laws and regulations is a must and is not negotiable. People, equipment and instruments
are made available to ensure safety and conformity of Nestl products at all times. The effort is
worth it. Companies with huge quality standards make fewer mistakes, waste less time and
money and are more productive. They also make higher profits. Quality is our most successful
product. It is the key to our success, today and tomorrow.

OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY THE
COMPANY

In future two competitors of Pure Life are going to launch their water in the market which is
Pepsi & Coca Cola. As their competitor will advertise their product at very high stage so people
will get awareness about drinking water and nestle pure life can achieve a great market share in
future because people can see that our water is getting rough day by day and there is a need for
pure drinking water to survive in the world.
For these opportunities company is going to launch another plant for drinking water next year
Firstly Nestle pure life was focusing on product and pricing strategy but recently its focusing on
marketing strategy to create customer awareness of the product in those areas which are far
away.

CHANEL OF DISTRIBUTION:

Nestle pure life is making full efforts to supply its product to ultimate consumers. For this
purpose the company uses the conventional marketing channels of distribution to supply the
product. In this method company supply the product to whole seller who responds it to retailers
who supply to ultimate user. The company also uses the vertical marketing system in
whichretailers also take supply from directly company resources without contact with whole
sellers, In this way the margin of company decreases and going into the interest of the ultimate
consumer.






43

PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY

Advertisement is a tool to introduce the product in the market. To increase sales and build an
image in the mind of consumer company advertise their product in different ways, as for as
Nestle pure life is concerned company use:
Television
Radio
News Paper
Bill Board
Hoarding etc.

Sometime company also makes free sampling, held stalls at different programs like Health Mela.
Pure Life's communication strategy is weak as they follow emotional black mailing. In
advertising they show emotional feelings to their customers.

SALES PROMOTION STRATEGY

Sales Promotion: Specific promotions of Nestle Pure Life were arranged in some of the key
outlets of Lahore. Elaborate shelf space was acquired for product display and specially designed
POS material was extensively used to promote sales. On a 12-bottle purchase of 1.5 ml, one 1.5
ml bottle was offered free to consumers. Similarly on a 6-bottle purchase of 1.5 ml, one 0.5 ml
bottle was offered free. Regarding trade promotion, the retailer was also given an additional
discount of 4 % during this sales promotion. Not only did the sales of Nestle Pure Life grow
tremendously during the promotion, these continued at a higher pace even after it was over.
Public Relations: As far as the public relations are concerned, the organization releases an
annual report which includes the company's financial statements along with the sales of all
product categories. The annual report is mainly aimed at the stockholders. However, another
very important form of public relations are the newsletters and bi-monthly magazines issued by
the organization. A huge amount of information is found in these regarding the products and
their promotion.

POSITIONING
We will position our product as a high quality product consumer focused. Messages like
Who knows your taste better than us,
Nestle ice-cream now at your door step;
Add additional flavors to your life
Will help us portray our picture clearly and distinctly. We will position our product against the
competitors and gain competitive advantage through our efficient promotional methods, using
innovations, and by reaching closer to our target market through the arrangement of events like
BASANT, VALENTINE DAY and etc. In short consumers will view us as a product providing




44
highly quality, in terms of taste, customer focused and, at the same time reasonably priced as
compared to others

54

WEAKNESSES

Not as successful as they thought they would be in some market (i.e. France)
Some of their product were positioned as too scientific, and consumers didnt quite
understand (i.e. LC-1 was a food and not a drug)
Selective investment due to uncertain economic and political conditions.
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.
There is weak marketing of some products as sometimes there is no advertisement.
Lack of awareness among the target market.
It Dependency on others (govt. & sponsors) for the arrangement of events. The target
market of some of the Nestle products likeMilkPak is upper middle and high class
because lower middle and poor class cannot afford to buy UHT milk due to its premium
price.
It is a main weakness of some of the products of Nestle that there are different
companies of same products but the name of nestlesometimes stand in the last because of
low advertising and marketing.

OPPORTUNITIES

Well-known company and strong brand name.
Health-based products are becoming more popular in the world, including in the
United States.
Ranked first in nearly all the product segments in which it operated (market leader).
Unaffected by current economic conditions (itsshare of the UK confectionery market
rise to 15.6 per cent with a 0.5 per cent growth this year).
Pakistan is the seventh largest producer of milk in the world with annual output of over
22 billion liters.
Nestl MilkPak has expanded its product range by entering the cold dairy market
recently by launching Nestl plain yogurt and now fruit yogurt is also added to it.
Credit policy can be adopted to increase sales.








55
THREATS

Some markets they are entering are already mature.
Global competition is high.
There are intense competitions in the United States, especially yogurt market (General
Mills).
Price fluctuations due to rupee devaluation as raw material are imported.
The present economic crisis in the world, led to the withdrawal of foreign
management from the company and the investment has come to a halt.
Legal and ethical issues.
Market segment growth could attract new entrants.
Economic slowdown can reduce demand.
Two main competitors Haleeb and Olpers are main threat for MilkPak especially the
Olpers is growing very fast.
Inflation is getting higher and higher so the purchasing power of the people is
decreasing day by day.
There is no entry barrier for new entrants as the Olpers has come in the market.
Taste of consumers for some products has already developed which is hard to change.























56
PESTANALYSIS


This is my PEST analysis of Nestle:

Political factors

Changes in tax- If the tax rate was to change it would have a direct affect on Nestle,
because every change happens that occurs in tax will also cause price of Nestle to do the
same. So if the tax rate increased this would mean that the price of confectionery goods
would also increase, this could cause Nestle to lose customers as a result of over pricing.

Trade unions- Trade unions are put in place to look out for the best interests of the
worker. If Nestle had to lower wages for some reason, this would mean that the trade
union would file a complaint because of the wage reduction and if the wages were not
raised to an acceptable amount there is a danger of a staff strike. This would cause Nestle
to be late on deliveries and maybe even stop some production lines.

Duties and levies- Are additional to the cost of shipping when importing and when
exporting products. This is what duty free is because there is no added cost for the
import/export of the goods. So if the price of duties and levies was to increase the
company would have to pay extra for transport.





57

Economic factors

Inflation- Inflation effects Nestle in much the same way as changes in tax would. So if
the changes in interest rates went down so may the prices.

Unemployment- may affect sales because if the unemployment rate was to rise this would
mean that people would not be earning as much money and they might have to cut back
on luxuries such as chocolate and other things that are not needs.

Energy prices- Energy prices rise as do interest rates and taxes, so if electricity costs were
to be rise this would mean that it would cost Nestle more to run their machinery and this
would lead to price increases. As a result again this could mean that Nestle lose out on
customers as a result of over pricing.

Social factors

Consumer lifestyles-This is the feeling of the current trend what is considered to be in
style and popular. These trends run in cycles and this is a good way of predicting what
will become trendy and when this gives businesses a chance to prepare. Nestle can use
this to their advantage by anticipating the next trend and releasing a product meeting that
need.

Technological factors

New technological progresses-This would more than likely have a positive knock on
affect to Nestle as new technologies means faster computers and things that make every
day jobs easier. Or it may be possible to get a new machine that could increase
production rate as it is more advanced that the older model.

Energy saving techniques- If any new energy saving techniques are invented this would
mean that the price of the energy would go down which would mean there would be extra
money to invest in to the business or into a new product.

New materials and substitutes for existing materials- New material could be useful to
nestle as they could be used to make new types of packaging and it may make chocolate
wrappers more environmentally friendly.

Better equipment- This is just like new technological progresses. Better equipment means
that the production rate would increase as they would be more advanced and faster. This
would enable Kit Kat to meet popular demand.





58














CHAPTER-6
SUGGESTION &
RECOMMENDATION























59
Nestle is the best company all over the world but there are some
recommendation and suggestions.

Their prices are bit higher so they should low their prices to increase their customers.
About 70% people use their products while the rest dont use them. They should conduct
survey and concentrate on those facts why people are nto using their products.
They should also improve their advertising as their advertising doesnt pay long-term
effects in the mind of customers.
About 17% people are not satisfied from the taste of nestle so nestle has to improve its
taste.


Recommendation

Keep the taste nice.
Increase advertising and show your competitive edge.
Increase loyalty of customer with brand through attractive packages.
Keep the price low because the day when price of competitor will be very near to your
price your sales will boost up.
Increase its distribution network.
Try to get more & more party orders.
Increase incentive and promotional activities, traning courses/workshops for team.
Conduct weekly meetings with distributors and sales team in order to review weekly
target closing.




















60













CHAPTER-7

LIMITATIONS
















61



There are some disadvantages to using secondary research:

1) Quality of Research

The originators of the primary research are largely self-governed and controlled by the marketer.
Therefore, the secondary research used must be scrutinized closely since the origins of the
information may be questionable. Moreover, the researcher needs to take sufficient steps to
critically evaluate the validity and reliability of the information provided.

2) Not Specific to Researchers Needs

In many cases, secondary data is not presented in a form that exactly meets the researchers
needs. Therefore, the researcher needs to rely on secondary data that is presented and classified
in a way that is similar to their needs.

3) Incomplete Information

In many cases, researchers find information that appears valuable and promising. The researcher
may not get the full version of the research to gain the full value of the study. This is because
many research suppliers offer free portions of their research and then charge expensive fees for
their full reports.

4) Not Timely

When using secondary research, one must exercise caution when using dated information from
the past. With companies competing in fast changing industries, an out-of-date research reports
many have little or no relevance to the current market situation.











62















CHAPTER-8
