3.1.2.4 Product Life Cycle (PLC)

(January March) (April July) (August October)

(November December)

Stage 1 : Introduction Stage (January 2016 March 2016)

We will introduce our new product angel and devil sport shoes begins in January 2016.
We will give our promotion and advertisement campaigns for three months until March 2016.
During this stage, our company will spend a lot of money in promoting aggressively our new
sport shoes to capture more attention and gain more attraction from the customers. Here, we
will provide samples for customers to try to worn the angel and devil shoes and then distribute
brochures to each customer in addition to provide more details about our product and
company. Besides that, we will also advertise our new sport shoes in printed media through
newspapers and magazines to give wide exposures to readers as well as using TV as to give
high effect on the product. We decide to choose TV3 as our main channels for advertising our
products. The TV channels will only be used for three months (January to March 2016).

Stage 2: Growth Stage (April 2016 July 2016)

Once we managed to capture good market and having wide offerings of our product, at
this stage, we should be able to climb to a good sales level in order for us to gain high profit.
Still, we need to spend sum amount of money to do more promotion but not as aggressively
as compared to the introduction stage. This is to gain better market acceptance and provide
influence in persuading more customers and potential customers to have the interest and
feeling good about our product. We estimate by May 2016, we will be able to go up further
reaching our objectives not only to get high profit but also more customers.

The third stage: maturity (August 2016 --2016 October 2009)


By July 2016, we should try to climb more higher maximum profit level in August 2016 at this
stage is a stage, our company has successfully achieved our goals in sales and customer.
Since August, September and October are the site layout, create an event in a few months
and some of the features of the square, we decided to provide some value-added products
and packages for people who want to have their own special features customers. On the left is
a figure that we achieve the highest level of profits, and won the customer good attention and
attraction. But we always know our competitors are actively planning to communicate with
angels and demons sneakers design new models. So, here, we will begin to outline the
introduction of new concepts related to understanding and to be creatively designed some
new "stuff" of the new trend. In the right figure is we started to fall down a little bit, which we
have to be careful stages of market trends and customer

Stage 4: Decline Stage (November 2016 December 2016)

The last stage is where we could not able to attract more market and customers
attention since competitors have started to introduce their new items. Since we have started
to do the idea screening during the maturity stage and some idea approval, we can begin to
do the next part in making the product and then test market before the next launch of our new
item in the future. We need to always work on because we know customers can change
easily in terms of the model and preference as well as their trends. In order for us not to be
left behind or outdated, we always make sure we are on our track and in good shape of
continuously provide and offer the best of the best desserts.

PART 4: PRICING STRATEGY


4.1. Types of Pricing Strategy
Our company chooses to apply skimming pricing strategy at the introduction stage of our new
sport shoes. We will apply this strategy for a temporary because want to inform our customers
and potential customers that our shoes is using the best materials and high quality production
process that can guarantee the satisfaction and good value.
We will do a price discount to gain more customers especially after we have reached the
maturity stage. Our shoes are mainly determined by complexity of design.
Accessories added and presentation of our shoes is also taken into consideration since all the
items are based on high quality materials.
To gain the market share in the short period time, we have analyzed the competitors pricing
strategies and set the product price according to the current market price. According to the
analysis made our brand, the competitors such as Adidas are setting the price from RM200 to
RM700 per pair of shoes. We set our product line from RM300 to RM1000 per piece based
on the design and style as well as the decoration concept whilst using the fine quality
materials.

4.2. Method of Pricing


We use cost-plus pricing (markup price) method in order for us to determine effectively the
price of our sport shoes as well as the profit that we will gain from selling the product either
directly to customers or through retailers. Here, we show the calculation of our pricing of sport
shoes and the markup we charge to our retailers. The accumulated cost for the materials to
produce our shoe (variable cost) is RM450 and the total fixed cost is estimated to be RM1,
680, 000. We expect to sell 50,000 pairs of our shoes in the beginning of our introduction.
Besides that, we would like to earn 35% markup on sales to our dealers and retailers.

Unit Cost
= Variable Cost + Fixed Cost / Unit Sales
= RM450 + RM1, 680, 000 / 50,000 pairs
= RM450+ RM33.60
= RM483.60
Markup Price
= Unit Cost / (1 Desired Return on Sales)
= RM483.60 / (1 0.35)
= RM483.60 / 0.65
= RM744
Profit Earned
= Markup Price Unit Cost Price
= RM744 RM483.60
= RM260.40

4.3. The Selection of Pricing Methods


Our company chooses product bundle pricing methods in pricing our product. These methods
seem to be the most effectively especially when we sell our items because customers can
have wider choices and selections of variety of shoes design. This method in which we offer
several products for sale as one combined product. This could increase profits on individual

purchases of customer.

For example,

PART 5: PLACE STRATEGY


5.1. Location
Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park is undoubtedly one of the prime business centers in Kuchai area.
It serves a wide range of businesses within the area from a printing company to reflexology
centers. It is blessed with a constant traffic flow of customers and this can be evidenced by the
traffic congestion during business hours.
There are several new similar commercial areas have been built nearby to Kuchai
Entrepreneurs Park but one can easily say that Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park is the best and
most crowded amongst all. Among the nearby commercial areas include Kuchai Business
Park, Sri Desa Entrepreneurs Park and Kuchai Dynasty Centre.
The traffic congestions especially during peak hours and rainy days is extremely bad and is
also one of the main concerns of many of the tenants there. Besides that, parking is also an
issue and patrons have to either look for a car park for hours or illegally double park their car
to do their business.

5.2. The Choice of Retailers


Cami uses two retailers to help us in selling our shoes to customers and have very good
contact with them. Our choices are discount retailer and e-trailer.
First type is discount retailer. Offering potential customers discounts on purchases is a way to
quickly draw people into your store. Anytime you tell a customer that he can save money,

youre likely to get his attention. Discounts dont only help your shoppers; they also help your
business.
It can help to attract customer because people prefer buying things on sale, discounts serve
as a ploy to attract more people to your store. If your discount is only good for a certain
amount of days, mention that when you advertise the discounted items. People are more likely
to rush in and look around if they know they only have a few days to do so.
It also can help to increase our sales with increased traffic typically comes increased sales -and not only the discounted items. Because the discounts attract more people, you have more
potential buyers for other items in your store, as most people will look around to see what you
offer before making a purchase.

The second type of retailer is through the use of e-trailer where we use our own website
besides our Facebook page or Wechat as our main selling line. Here, customers can easily
find about us and any other relevant information about our products and offerings.
We have operated Facebook page online business for some time now and we found that the
respond from customers are very effective and they gave positive feedbacks as well as some
area of improvements for us to constantly provide fine quality product with high level quality of
service.
Our website and Facebook page provide customers with detail information including the
pricing, offerings, online ordering and purchasing terms and conditions, delivery, etc. so that
customers dont have to travel and to go for a long queue to buy our sport shoes.
This will allow us to invite all of our personal Facebook friends to like the Cami Shoes page
and get a strong number of followers with very little Facebook marketing spend.

5.3. Transportation
Cami shoes use van to deliver. The van is used to deliver the shoes to retailers within the
distance and it is the suitable way of distributing our brand to locations that are quite far
reaching.

PART 6: PROMOTION STRATEGY


6.1. Promotional Tools
We always ensure that our promotional efforts work in harmony with product marketing,
pricing, and distribution actions that target prospects and customers. Promotion is very much
important for us not only to inform about our product and increase demand, but also to create
and build brand equity as well as strengthen our brand image. We implement all promotional
activities that include advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, public relations, and direct
marketing.

6.1.1 Advertising
Advertising is the best medium to use because it can easily persuade the audience to take or
continue some action by means of using commercial offering. The use of newspapers, TV
and radio, outdoor advertising, etc. seek to generate increased consumption of our products
through branding which involves associating a product name or image with certain qualities in
the minds of customers. We employ advertising to stimulate demand and increase our sales.

6.1.2 Personal selling


Personal selling is used through sales force to have a two-way communication and interaction
so that customers can ask details about the product and our sales force will assist them. It
makes it the most effective promotional method for building relationships with customers and
the most practical promotional option for reaching customers who are not easily reached
through our methods. Our sales representatives use their personal selling skills to increase
the chances of a successful sale and we have very skillful and expert sales force to handle the
customers very well. They understand a prospects needs and offer a solution to those needs
in the form of a product that provides strong benefits and represents value for money.

6.1.3 Sales promotion


Sales promotion is very important for us to update customers with our new product information
and any sales promotion that can drive more capture to the target. Using sales promotion will

effectively capture the target much more quickly and easily by offering them with good rewards
as a return for their purchasing. Many companies regardless of what type of industries they
use sales promotion to attract more customers. We use sales promotion tools to identify a
specific marketing need that can be addressed most effectively by specific marketing need
that can be addressed most effectively by promotional activity.

6.1.4 Public relations


PR is effective for us in building brand awareness and long-term customer relationships since
it has the greatest return on investment. The use of PR benefits us because it carries the
greatest possible credibility because publicity represents independent third-party
endorsement. When people read, watch or listen to a news story, they give the subject
greater credence and the power of PR lies in the credibility it can bring to a product and
company. We use PR to allow us to share much more detail about our product and company
as well as provide in-depth detail of information regarding our business concept and practice.
Our PR professionals are very skillful and knowledgeable yet expert not only in creating
effective image for the company and product but also representing the product through the
use of press conference, launching event, etc.

6.1.5 Direct marketing


In using direct marketing as promotional method, it is an important element as it makes direct
contact with existing and potential customers to promote our product and enables us to target
particular customers with a personalized message. It is very cost effective and powerful way
at generating sales through the use of leaflet or brochures. Not only that, it allows us to
generate a response from targeted customers and at the same time help we boost our sales
to existing customers, increase customer loyalty, recapture old customers and generate new
business.

6.2. Selection of Advertising Media


Cami Shoes applies quite a number of advertising media in order to get high attention and
capture more attraction from the audience. We use TV, magazine, newspapers, brochures,
and billboards. Besides that, we also use social media like our own website and Facebook
page to directly expose to customers about our company and product details.
For TV advertisement, we choose TV 3 channel since it is the highest percentage view and
have high capture from all ages and demographic backgrounds.
We will advertise our brand for four times with the duration of 2 minutes. For magazine
advertisement, we choose Family magazine because this magazine has all what we need
which include stories about families, kids and teenagers, cooking, wedding, etc. and it is easily
for us to advertise using this magazine in one goes.

Two newspapers will be used in advertising our new brand, Utusan Malaysia and The Star
because these two newspapers have the highest percentage of readers. We also will use
brochures as they can be a very direct medium to communicate our message to the
customers. We will print 5,000 sets of brochures to distribute for three months (January to
March 2016). Last but not least, we use billboard advertisement and these billboards will be
located at three major highways namely Federal Highway, DUKE Highway, and Duta Highway
because these are the main roads for traveling and can capture at least 80% of attention.
Despites the conventional medium of advertising, Cami shoes also implements social media
to get more crowds and attention. We use our website and Facebook page to promote and
market our product shoes where customers can view our pages to see and get to know about
our company and product types.

6.3. Brochure/Pamphlet Design


We use this brochure design with a Cami shoes sample to make it more interesting and will
create high attention from the customers. The choose of orange, purple, white, and blue
colors give the brochure more fresh look and fancy style so it makes a total different from
competitors that use normal standard design of brochure.

6.4. Promotion
Customer Retention Customer retention rate is an important statistic to calculate actual
bottom-line customer numbers. A business with a 60% customer retention rate is losing 3-4
times as many customers a business with 80% retention rates.
Customer retention also has some hidden advantages like it allows the customer and the
business to understand each other better. Firms are able to analyze customer behaviors, able
to bring out best offers, basket mix and savings. This allows businesses to segment their
customers and satisfy them better with individual needs and preferences. Customer
Acquisition An exciting and valuable reward for customers on loyalty programs has capability

to attract new customers, but this should not be over emphasized as there are more cost
effective and better methods to reach new customers. However the point made is that
differentiation of business can be perceived very strongly by the potential customers with an
effective loyalty program.

6.4.1 Loyalty programmer


Giving samples is a good method in promoting our product since customers can have a bit of
a cake taste to feel the flavor and direct evaluation as how the cake taste. For our new
product shoes, we will give free sample of Cami Shoes with 1 size for four times per month,
every Saturday and Sunday and we will do this for two months only (January and February
2016). Customers will be able to have an up-close look of the shoes design and style and
taste it instantly.
6.4.2 Shoes Exhibition
Cami will use shoes exhibitions, Shoes Fair. Our place for exhibition will be at Kuala Lumpur
Convention Center (KLCC) and Mid Valley. We choose these two venues because they
provide a very good market capture since they are the shopping centers and a center for
people to come not only to shop around but also for gatherings and family bonding time
together as well as meeting friends. We will do the event for three times in a year (January
and February; July and August; and November and December 2016) where we will conduct
the events for two times per month for both KLCC and Mid Valley.

6.4.3 Advertising Specialties


Advertising specialties are very effective tool in promoting our product because they represent
our brand and image directly to customers so that they can know us very much better and can
create high brand equity level. For this new promotion, we have designed a 3D shoes
keychain to be given to customers every time they purchase our product. We will provide this
promotion for six months (January, February, May, August, November, and December 2016)
during special occasions or events. Below is our sample of 3D Shoes keychain with different
styles.

6.4.4 Premiums
Premium provides a nice value bargain from customers when they purchase our product with
a good price offering. We use two ways of premium promotional items namely buy one, get
one free and free gift with a certain amount of purchase. This is very good since it gives high
value for the customers in two directions, first, the customers will get a good bargain like free
item for the purchase and second, it creates happiness to customers when they in a certain
amount, they get another in return. For the second type of premium, the customers will have
to purchase on a certain amount for them to be able to get a free gift provided by us. For
example, if a customer makes a purchase for RM400 and above in a single receipt, she will
receive one gift such as limited edition Cami shoes T-Shirt or power bank with our brand
design. Shown below are the examples of premiums. Same goes with online purchasing,
customers will be providing the same benefits as what a conventional purchasing.

6.4.5 Sweepstakes
In order to gain good capture from the market, we will provide sweepstake competition to give
an opportunity for customers to show their creativity in taking pictures with their Cami shoes
and give some reasons why our brand are the best choice of taste and flavor for them to win
some interesting and nice presents. We will do this competition based on occasions and
events such as Mothers and Fathers Day or Valentine days, festive seasons, etc.
