Marketing Management Of Biscuits – Business Studies Project

INTRODUCTION

“Biscuit” covers a wide range of flavour baked products, though it is generally an unleavened cake or bread, crisp and dry, and in a small, thin, and flat shape. It has several cultural meanings. In the united states, a biscuit is a soft, thick scone product or a small roll similar to a muffin. The British biscuit is equivalent to the American cookie and crackers. These latter terms are relatively modern. “Cookie” comes from the eighteen-century Dutch word koekje, diminutive of koek (cake). “cracker” is a North American term that also came into use in the eighteen century, connoting the sound of water as it was chewed or broken (at this time; cracker” was also used to mean a firecracker or noisy person or object) Biscuit have evolved from different aspects of baking practices such as tarts, pastries, shortcake, and sugar confectionery.

MARKETING MANAGEMENT

Marketing management is the directing of organization resources to develop and implement the best possible strategy to reach its desired consumer segment to maximize sales of a particular product or service.

5 MARKETING MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS

PRODUCTION CONCEPT
The production concept is used when demand for a product is higher than its supply. The philosophy here is that “ supply creates its demand.”Therefore, the focus is on manufacturing more products to make sure it’s widely available.

PRODUCT CONCEPT
Contrary to the production concept, this concept assumes consumers value products of a higher quality as opposed to price and availability. Therefore the focus is more on quality and less on quantity. The product concept is that if you’re selling a product of great quality, minimal marketing will be required to sell it.

SELLING CONCEPT
Where the production and product concepts focus on manufacturing, the selling concept focuses on the making of an actual sale. The number one focus for the manager is to make money no matter the quality needs to consumers supply, on-demand. Because of this, the selling concept entails very aggressive marketing.

MARKETING CONCEPT
The marketing concept works on the philosophy that consumers buy products that fulfil their needs. A manager that takes the marketing approach will conduct extensive market research to determine the needs of consumers and how to fulfil them better than its competitors.

SOCIETAL CONCEPT
Marketing managers with this approach are also concerned about the well-being of society and feel a responsibility to tend to the world around them. The societal concept creates a balance of social and environmental welfare, customer, relationships, and sales.

4Ps

PRODUCT

The product is either a tangible good or an intangible service that seems to meet a specific customer’s need or demand. All products follow a logical product life cycle and marketers need to understand and plan for the various stages and their unique challenges. It is key to understand those problems that the product is attempting to solve. The benefits offered by the product and all its features need to be understood and the unique selling proposition of the product needs to be studied. In addition, the potential buyers of the product need to be identified and understood.

PRICE

Price covers the actual amount the end-user is expected to pay for a product. How a product is priced will directly affect how it sells. This is linked to what the perceived value of the product is to the customer rather than an objective casting of the product on offer. If a product is priced higher or lower than its perceived value, then it will not sell. This is why it is imperative to understand how a customer sees what you selling. If there is a positive customer value then a product may be successfully priced higher than its objective monetary value in the eyes of the consumer, then it may need to be underpriced to sell. Price may also be affected by distribution plans value chain costs and mark-ups and how competitors price a rival product.

PROMOTION

The marketing communication strategies and techniques all fall under the promotion heading these may include advertising, sales promotion, special offers, and public relations. Whatever the channel used, it must be suitable for the product, the price, and the end-user it is being marketed to. It is important to differentiate between marketing and promotion. Promotion is just the communication aspect of the entire marketing function.

PLACE

Place or placement has to do with how the product will be provided to the customer. Distribution is a key element of placement. The placement strategy will help assess what channel is the most suited to a product. How a product is accused

WHY DID I CHOOSE BISCUITS?

Biscuits are consumed throughout the world for their nutritional values and also can be stored for longer durations. Biscuit manufacturing is a major processed food sector. Biscuits are available in a wide range of shapes, fillings, colours, and toppings and are hence accepted by consumers of all age groups. Major and minor ingredients used during the manufacturing of biscuits play an important role and the chemistry behind them must be well understood by biscuit manufacturers to maintain quality and avoid batch variations. The method of manufacturing used nowadays is either a fully automated or semi-automated plant in the organized sector but it is fully dependent on humans in the unorganized sector. Apart from the method of manufacturing, packaging also plays multiple roles, that safeguard the product from contamination and attract the consumer.

The established standard lays down the grades of the product. In the case of manufactured goods, goods can be of uniform quality. But agricultural products like fruits and vegetables, etc, vary in quality, therefore, classes or grades of quality are set and different units of the product are stored into the established standard grades thus, grading involves the division of products into classes made up of units possessing similar characteristics of size and quality and standardization to refer to the process of setting up basic measures or standards to which the product must conform and taking steps to ensure that the good produced adhere to these standards. Standards reflect desirable features of a product in terms of its design, weight, colour, etc.

The first channel is the longest in that it includes all four, from producer to the consumer the wine and adult beverage industry is a perfect example of this long distribution channel. It operates in what is known as the three-tier system meaning the winery is required by law to first sell its product to a wholesaler, who then sells to a retailer the retailer, in turn, sells that product to the end consumer the second channel is one where the producer sells directly to a retailer who then sells the producer’s product to the end consumer.
