 INDUSTRY PROFILE

Indian dairy Industry - a profile

Today, India is 'The Oyster' of the global dairy industry. It offers opportunities
galore to entrepreneurs worldwide, who wish to capitalize on one of the world's
largest and fastest growing markets for milk and milk products. A bagful of
'pearls' awaits the international dairy processor in India. The Indian dairy
industry is rapidly growing, trying to keep pace with the galloping progress
around the world. As he expands his overseas operations to India many
profitable options await him. He may transfer technology, sign joint ventures or
use India as a sourcing center for regional exports. The liberalization of the
Indian economy beckons to MNC's and foreign investors alike.

Indias dairy sector is expected to triple its production in the next 10 years in
view of expanding potential for export to Europe and the West. Moreover with
WTO regulations expected to come into force in coming years all the developed
countries which are among big exporters today would have to withdraw the
support and subsidy to their domestic milk products sector. Also India today is
the lowest cost producer of per litre of milk in the world, at 27 cents, compared
with the U.S' 63 cents, and Japans $2.8 dollars. Also to take advantage of this
lowest cost of milk production and increasing production in the country
multinational companies are planning to expand their activities here. Some of
these milk producers have already obtained quality standard certificates from
the authorities. This will help them in marketing their products in foreign
countries in processed form.

The urban market for milk products is expected to grow at an accelerated pace
of around 33% per annum to around Rs.43,500 crores by year 2005. This
growth is going to come from the greater emphasis on the processed foods
sector and also by increase in the conversion of milk into milk products. By
2005, the value of Indian dairy produce is expected to be Rs 10,00,000 million.
Presently the market is valued at around Rs7,00,000mn

Background

India with 134mn cows and 125mn buffaloes, has the largest population of
cattle in the world. Total cattle population in the country as on October'00 stood
at 313mn. More than fifty percent of the buffaloes and twenty percent of the
cattle in the world are found in India and most of these are milch cows and
milch buffaloes.
Indian dairy sector contributes the large share in agricultural gross domestic
products. Presently there are around 70,000 village dairy cooperatives across the
country. The co-operative societies are federated into 170 district milk
producers unions, which is turn has 22-state cooperative dairy federation. Milk
production gives employment to more than 72mn dairy farmers. In terms of
total production, India is the leading producer of milk in the world followed by
USA. The milk production in 1999-00 is estimated at 78mn MT as compared to
74.5mn MT in the previous year. This production is expected to increase to
81mn MT by 2000-01. Of this total produce of 78mn cows' milk constitute
36mn MT while rest is from other cattle.

While world milk production declined by 2 per cent in the last three years,
according to FAO estimates, Indian production has increased by 4 per cent. The
milk production in India accounts for more than 13% of the total world output
and 57% of total Asia's production. The top five milk producing nations in the
world are India ,USA, Russia, Germany and France.

Although milk production has grown at a fast pace during the last three decades
(courtesy: Operation Flood), milk yield per animal is very low. The main
reasons for the low yield are

Lack of use of scientific practices in milching.

Inadequate availability of fodder in all seasons.

Unavailability of veterinary health services.

Operation Flood

The transition of the Indian milk industry from a situation of net import to that
of surplus has been led by the efforts of National Dairy Development Board's
Operation Flood. programme under the aegis of the former Chairman of the
board Dr. Kurien.

Launched in 1970, Operation Flood has led to the modernization of India's dairy
sector and created a strong network for procurement processing and distribution
of milk by the co-operative sector. Per capita availability of milk has increased
from 132 gm per day in 1950 to over 220 gm per day in 1998. The main thrust
of Operation Flood was to organize dairy cooperatives in the milkshed areas of
the village, and to link them to the four Metro cities, which are the main
markets for milk. The efforts undertaken by NDDB have not only led to
enhanced production, improvement in methods of processing and development
of a strong marketing network, but have also led to the emergence of dairying as
an important source of employment and income generation in the rural areas. It
has also led to an improvement in yields, longer lactation periods, shorter
calving intervals, etc through the use of modern breeding techniques.
Establishment of milk collection centers, and chilling centers has enhanced life
of raw milk and enabled minimization of wastage due to spoilage of milk.
Operation Flood has been one of the world's largest dairy development
programme and looking at the success achieved in India by adopting the co-
operative route, a few other countries have also replicated the model of India's
White Revolution.

Fresh Milk

Over 50% of the milk produced in India is buffalo milk, and 45% is cow milk.
The buffalo milk contribution to total milk produce is expected to be 54% in
2000. Buffalo milk has 3.6% protein, 7.4% fat, 5.5% milk sugar, 0.8% ash and
82.7% water whereas cow milk has 3.5% protein, 3.7% fat, 4.9% milk sugar,
0.7% ash and 87% water. While presently (for the year 2000) the price of
Buffalo milk is ruling at $261-313 per MT that of cow is ruling at $170-267 per
MT. Fresh pasteurized milk is available in packaged form. However, a large part
of milk consumed in India is not pasteurized, and is sold in loose form by
vendors. Sterilized milk is scarcely available in India.

Packaged milk can be divided according to fat content as follows,

Whole (full cream) milk - 6% fat

Standardized (toned) milk - 4.5% fat
Doubled toned (low fat) milk - 3% fat
Another category of milk, which has a small market is flavoured milk.

Export Potential

India has the potential to become one of the leading players in milk and milk
product exports. Locational advantage : India is located amidst major milk
deficit countries in Asia and Africa. Major importers of milk and milk products
are Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines,
Japan, UAE, Oman and other gulf countries, all located close to India.
Low Cost Of Production : Milk production is scale insensitive and labour
intensive. Due to low labour cost, cost of production of milk is significantly
lower in India.

Concerns in export competitiveness are

Quality : Significant investment has to be made in milk procurement,
equipments, chilling and refrigeration facilities. Also, training has to be
imparted to improve the quality to bring it up to international standards.

Productivity : To have an exportable surplus in the long-term and also to

maintain cost competitiveness, it is imperative to improve productivity of Indian
cattle.

There is a vast market for the export of traditional milk products such as ghee,
paneer, shrikhand, rasgolas and other ethnic sweets to the large number of
Indians scattered all over the world 13.

 PESTLE ANALYSIS
Originally known as PEST Analysis, this is a macro environmental framework
used to understand the impact of the external factors on the organization and is
used as strategic analytical technique. PEST stands for "Political, Economic,
Social, and Technological factors.
Francis Aguilar is referred to as the originator of this tool. He talked about
ETPS Economic, Technological, Political, and Social as the four important
factors for Scanning the Business Environment. Later Legal and Environmental
factors were also added by some analysts and thus evolved the term PESTLE
Analysis.

Let us examine these factor in a bit more detail.

Political Factors affects the organizations in terms of government regulations

and legal issues and define both formal and informal rules under which the firm
must operate. Examples are:

Political stability

Tax policy

Employment and labor law

Environmental regulations

Trade restrictions

Tariffs etc

Economic factors affect the business operations and decision making of the
organization. For example the predicted recession is preventing the
organizations from increasing the workforce . Other examples are:

Economic growth

Interest rates

Inflation rate
Social factors refer to the cultural and demographic aspects of the environment.
For example increase in the health consciousness may affect the demand of the
companys product. Other factor includes:

Age distribution

Population growth rate 15.

Emphasis on safety

Career attitudes

Technological factors affect the cost and quality of the outputs. These also
determine the barriers to entry and minimum efficient production level. Factors
include:

Automation

Technology incentives

Rate of technological change

R&D activity

Legal factors influence the companys operation, its costs, and the demand for
its products. Factors include:

Consumer law

Antitrust law

Employment law

Discrimination law

Health and safety law

Environmental factors refer to ecological and environmental aspects such as

weather, climate, and climate change. Climate change is a hot topic these days
and organizations are restructuring their operations thus giving space to
innovation and concept of Green Business.

Use
PESTLE Analysis is used to examine the current and future state of the industry
an organization belongs to. This helps in the strategic planning and gaining the
competitive edge over the other firms in that industry. This analysis can not
only be used for an organization as a whole but various departments can also be
inspected under this framework. For example, it makes more sense for a
company with diversified product range to analyze its departments separately
than the organization as a whole.

Importance of the factors varies depending on the nature of the industry and
company. For example environmental factors are more important to tourism
sector where as economic and plotical factors are more important for the
Banking sector.

DAIRY GUIDELINE
Dairy farming is a safe business for the following reasons:

It is eco-friendly and does not cause environmental pollution as compared

to other industries.
Requirement of skilled labour is relatively less.
 Dairy product market is active round the year.
Minimum investment on inventory. (no need to stock raw materials in
huge quantities.)
Entire establishment can be shifted to a new location (if need arises e.g.
fire, floods etc.)
One can insure animals.
Less energy requirement. Biogas plant fed with cow dung can supply
maximum energy to meet farms day to day requirement. Decomposed
slurry of such plant can also be effectively used as organic manure.

Limitations and constraints:

Breeding of animals and getting expected milk yield is a biological
phenomenon, which depends upon various factors.
Dairy farming besides good planning requires hardworking, reliable and
alert manager. In
India, usually persons from the family take the responsibility.
Inadequate management of feeding, herd health and lack of quality
control in various stage of production can cause major loss affecting the
profitability of the entire venture.

One needs to decide first on the aims and objective of the farm. Every year there
should be a progressive aim for breeding (including number of animals to be
maintained) and production. You can visit dairy farms that run on commercial
basis and have a discussion with experienced farm owners.
You need not have to rely much on others experience, analyze every event
logically and if needed consult with local veterinarians for more information.
If you plan to manage the farm on your own, look for opportunities to work for
an existing farm for a minimum period of six months.

Develop interest and study feed and fodder's market in your region, its
difficulties in relation to seasons.

18.
You need to choose hardworking reliable persons preferably with some
experience. You can also train them for specific jobs.
Visit the cattle market occasionally.Observe animals on sale and talk with
persons engaged with purchasing of animals. Read magazines on dairy industry
and keep yourself informed.
Getting some initial professional training...
Opportunities for training are available with most of the:
Agricultural/veterinary universities of various states
Krishi vigyan kendras
State department of animal husbandry
You can also choose to inquire with national level organization like:
national dairy research institute (ndri) karnal (haryana) - for training on
rearing of dairy animals and manufacture of milk products.
Alternately, you can also look for training facilities of non-governmental
organizations that are active in farming sectors.

Cow Buffalo
Good quality cows are available in In india, we have good buffalo breeds

buffaloes. Buffaloes need cooling facility e.g.
wallowing tank or showers / foggers

19.

Popular breeds
The exotic breeds of cattle are holstein friesian, jersey and brown swiss.
Popular buffalo milch breeds are murrah, surti, mehasani, jaffrabadi, and
nali - ravi and badhawari.
 The indigenous milch breeds of cattle are gir, sahiwal, red sindhi and
tharparkar. Economic life of buffaloes is 5-6 lactation and that of
crossbreed cows is 6-7 lactation.

The minimum economic size

Under our conditions a commercial dairy farm should consist of minimum 20
animals (cows only or cows plus buffaloes) this strength can easily go up to 100
animals in proportion of 70:30 or 60:40 after this however, you need to review
your strength and market potential before you chose to go for expansion.

The space required per animal should be 40 sq.ft in shed and 80sq.ft open space.
Besides, you will also need:
1 One room 10'' x 10'' for keeping implements.
2 One room 10''x 12'' for milk storage
3 Office cum living room of suitable size.
4 Water tank capable of storing minimum 2000 liters
5 Bore well with capacity to fill water tank in 1 hr

Total land requirement for a unit of 20 animals can be sited as 3000 sq.ft. There
should be space for expansion. Ideal space requirement for 100 animals is
13,000 to 15,000 sq.ft (120" x 125''). For 20 animals initially, you can make
contractual arrangements for getting an assured supply of 300 kgs. Of lucerne
and 400 kgs. Of maize/oats fodder per day.
However, in long run, as the strength of you farm will go up to 100 animals, it is
advisable that you should go for a lease land of 15 to 20 acres with irrigation
facility to cultivate green fodder for your animals.
(one acre of green fodder cultivation for every five animals is required as a
thumb rule.) The economics of whole dairy animal management depends upon
its economic feeding.
By making fodders like lucerne or berseem available for your animals you can
reduce cost on feeding concentrate feed.
The strength of laborers in your farm can vary with number of animals usually
the thumb rule is one labour for every 10 animals on milk or 20 dry animals or
20 young stock.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The food processing industry one of the largest industries in india is widely
recognized as a 'sunrise industry' in india having huge potential for uplifting the
agricultural economy, creation of large scale processed food manufacturing and
food chain facilities, and the resultant generation of employment and export
earnings.

Laws governing the food industry:

The indian food processing industry is regulated by several laws which govern
the aspects of sanitation, licensing and other necessary permits that are required
to start up and run a food business. The legislation that dealt with food safety in
india was the prevention of food adulteration act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to
as "pfa"). The pfa had been in place for over five decades and there was a need
for change due to varied reasons which include the changing requirements of
our food industry.

The act brought into force in place of the pfa is the food safety and standards
act, 2006 (hereinafter referred to as "fssa") that overrides all other food related
laws. It specifically repealed eight laws which were in operation prior to the
enforcement of fssa:

The prevention of food adulteration act, 1954

The fruit products order, 1955

The meat food products order, 1973

The vegetable oil products (control) order, 1947

The edible oils packaging (regulation) order, 1998

The solvent extracted oil, de oiled meal, and edible flour (control) order,
1967

The milk and milk products order, 1992

Essential commodities act, 1955 (in relation to food)

Need for the new act:

Fssa initiates harmonization of india's food regulations as per international

standards. It establishes a new national regulatory body, the food safety and
standards authority of india (hereinafter referred to as "fssai"), to develop
science based standards for food and to regulate and monitor the manufacture,
processing, storage, distribution, sale and import of food so as to ensure the
availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption. All food
imports will therefore be subject to the provisions of the fssa and rules and
regulations which as notified by the government on 5th of august 2011 will be
applicable.

Key regulations of fssa:

A. Packaging and labeling:

Fssa provides for separate packaging and labeling regulations known as food
safety and standards (packaging and labeling) regulations, 2011 (hereinafter
referred to as the "packaging and labeling regulations") which lay down the
statutory and regulatory requirements for packaging and labeling of products. A
plain reading of the packaging and labeling regulations, show that there are
different kinds of products: pre-packaged, proprietary and other specific
products as mentioned in the regulations.

Regulation 2.12 of the food safety and standards (food products standards and
food additives) regulations, 2011 defines "proprietary food" as food that has not
been standardized under these regulations. Regulation 1 (8) of the packaging
and labeling regulations defines "prepackaged" or "pre-packed food", as food,
which is placed in a package of any nature, in such a manner that the contents
cannot be changed without tampering it and which is ready for sale to the
consumer.

The packaging and labeling regulations provide the general requirements for
labeling of food products prescribed under the fssa, as follows:

i The particulars of declaration required under these regulations to be

specified on the label shall be in english or hindi in devnagri script:
provided that nothing herein contained shall prevent the use of any other
language in addition to the language required under this regulation.

ii Pre-packaged food shall not be described or presented on any label or in

any manner that is false, misleading or deceptive or is likely to create an
erroneous impression regarding its character in any respect;
 iii Label in pre-packaged foods shall be applied in such a manner that they
will not become separated from the container;

iv Contents on the label shall be clear, prominent, indelible and readily

legible by the consumer under normal conditions of purchase and use;

v Where the container is covered by a wrapper, the wrapper shall carry the
necessary information or the label on the container shall be readily legible
through the outer wrapper and not obscured by it.

In addition to these general requirements specified above, every package of

food shall also carry the following information on the label: (i) name of the
food; (ii) list of ingredients; (iii) nutritional information; (iv) declaration
regarding veg. And non-veg; (v) declaration regarding food additives; (vi) name
and complete address of the manufacturer; (vii) net quantity; (viii)
lot/code/batch identification; (ix) date of manufacturing or packing; (x) best
before and use by date; (xi) country of origin for imported food; and (xii)
instructions for use.

Since a large variety of food products are being imported into india, under the
packaging and labeling regulations, it becomes necessary to mention the
country of origin of the food on the label of food imported into india, and when
a food undergoes processing in a second country which changes its nature, the
country in which the processing is performed shall be considered to be the
country of origin for the purposes of labeling.

Therefore, the above are the statutory and regulatory requirements that are to be
complied with regard to labeling of products that are sold in the indian market
as "pre-packaged goods".

B. Signage and customer notices:

Having briefly dealt with the statutory and regulatory requirements with respect
to labeling of products, it is necessary to understand the statutory and regulatory
requirements with respect to signage and customer notices more from the point
of view of a food outlet. It is important to note that though the provisions of fssa
do not specifically provide for any statutory and regulatory requirements either
for signage or customer notices, but it has certain provisions with regard to
advertisement of products by food business operators.
Section 3 (1) (b) of fssa defines the term "advertisement" (which includes a
"notice") as any audio or visual publicity, representation or pronouncement
made by means of any light, sound, smoke, gas, print, electronic media, internet
or website and includes through any notice, circular, label, wrapper, invoice or
other documents.

accordance with the license and registration regulations, hence no person shall
commence any food business unless a valid license is possessed by the food
business operator, and the conditions with regard to safety, sanitary and
hygienic requirements have to be complied with at all times by them.

One of the prime purposes of these conditions is to ensure that the food business
operator maintains sanitary and hygienic standards as specified in each food
category. It is hereby recognized and declared as a matter of legislative

licensing under sub-section (2) of section 31 of fssa), himself or by any person
on his behalf who is required to obtain license, manufacturers, sells, stores or
distributes or imports any article of food without license, shall be punishable
with

Imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months and also with a fine
which may extend to five lakh rupees (approx usd 9000).

Other licenses:
The fssa being a central act has to be complied with by all the food business
operators in the country. However, india being a big market, each state may
have their local laws which may also need to be complied with. Some of the

various authorities under other laws include: health and trade licenses from the
municipal corporation of the relevant area, environmental clearance, no-

 What makes pride of cows a superior milk?

Other kinds of milk change hands over ten times before it reaches you! Poorly
fed cows are milked, then the milk lies exposed in farmers buckets that finds its
way into larger unhygienic cans. Several such cans reach the collection centre
from where the exposed milk is transferred to a chilling centre, often subject to
power shortages. From the chilling centre, milk is transferred to a large milk
tanker under indian temperature conditions and over large distances, and then
transferred yet again to a holding tank at the dairy. Milk poured into a process
tank at the dairy goes into plastic pouches and then loaded onto a truck in
distributors plastic crates. Milk lies indefinitely in crateswaiting to be picked
up by the agent and delivery man. Milk finally arrives at your door almost two
days later! As you can see, this milk is far from perfect, stripped of its vital
goodness at every point.

30.
 How is pride of cows milk different from other milk?

Pride of cows milk arrives at your doorstep within hours of milking, at its
freshest best. Milk from fine dutch holstein friesian cows is instantly
pasteurized, chilled and packaged in bottles in less than 3 hours! From
nutritious feed to hygienic milking, from maintenance of the cold supply chain
at 4c to bottlingthe entire process is mechanized, in accordance with the best
dairy practices in the world. Once the milk is transferred into barrier-proof
bottles, the bottles find their way into the milk van where the same temperature
is maintained right up to the point of delivery.

31.
 Why does milk have to be preserved at 4c?

Proper refrigeration is the most important factor in preserving the freshness of

milk. Bacteria grows rapidly in milk above 4c, and may cause serious illness. It
is thus extremely important to have strict quality control processes that ensure
milk is maintained at 4c.

How does pride of cows milk meet your nutritional needs for the day?

A glass of pride of cows milk contains 285 mg of calcium (one-third of the daily
recommended allowance), 8 grams of protein, and 3.6 grams of fat. Plus other
essential nutrients such as biotin, iodine, magnesium, potassium, riboflavin,
selenium, thiamine, vitamin a, vitamin b12, vitamin d, vitamin k.

Is pride of cows milk expensive?

Pride of cows milk is everything that milk should be. It is fresh farm milk that
comes from a fine breed of dutch holstein friesian cows. The cows are given a
planned wholesome meal every day, with specially grown high quality alfalfa,
pennisetum, greens, soya and bran. This total meal ration is designed to keep
cows at the pinnacle of health to provide nutritive, wholesome milk that is
naturally full of goodness. The milking process is completely mechanized, and
in conformity with international dairy standards. This degree of dairy perfection
does cost money, but considering all that goes into its making, it is worth every
penny!

SEGMENTATION
Market segmentation is a marketing strategy which involves dividing a
broad target market into subsets of consumers, businesses, or countries who
have, or are perceived to have, common needs, interests, and priorities, and then
designing and implementing strategies to target them. Market segmentation
strategies are generally used to identify and further define the target customers,
and provide supporting data for marketing plan elements such as positioning to
achieve certain marketing plan objectives. Businesses may develop product
differentiation strategies, or an undifferentiated approach, involving specific
products or product lines depending on the specific demand and attributes of the
target segment.

Types of Market Segmentation

The following are the most common forms of market segmentation practices.

Geographic Segmentation

Marketers can segment according to geographic criterianations, states,

regions, countries, cities, neighborhoods, or postal codes. The geo-cluster
approach combines demographic data with geographic data to create a more
accurate or specific profile.[1] With respect to region, in rainy regions merchants
can sell things like raincoats, umbrellas and gumboots. In hot regions, one can
sell summer clothing. A small business commodity store may target only
customers from the local neighborhood, while a larger department store can
target its marketing towards several neighborhoods in a larger city or area, while
ignoring customers in other continents. Geographic Segmentation is important
and may be considered the first step to international marketing, followed by
demographic and psychographic segmentation.

Demographic Segmentation

Segmentation according to demography is based on variables such as age,

gender, occupation and education level or according to perceived benefits which
a product/service may provide. Benefits may be perceived differently depending
on a consumer's stage in the life cycle. Demographic segmentation divides
markets into different life stage groups and allows for messages to be tailored
accordingly.[3]

A variant of this approach known as firmographic or feature based

segmentation is commonly used in business-to-business markets (its estimated
that 81% of B2B marketers use this technique). Under this approach the target
market is segmented based on features such as company size (either in terms of
revenue or number of employees), industry sector or location (country and/or
region).[4]

Behavioral Segmentation

Behavioral segmentation divides consumers into groups according to their

knowledge of, attitude towards, usage rate, response, loyalty status, and
readiness stage to a product. There is an extra connectivity with all other market
related sources. Behavioral segmentation divides buyers into segments based on
their knowledge, attitudes,uses, or responses concerning a product. Many
marketers believe that behavior variables are the best starting point for building
market segments.

Psychographic Segmentation

Psychographic segmentation, which is sometimes called Lifestyle. This is

measured by studying the activities, interests, and opinions (AIOs) of
customers. It considers how people spend their leisure, and which external
influences they are most responsive to and influenced by. Psychographic is
highly important to segmentation, because it identifies the personal activities
and targeted lifestyle the target subject endures, or the image they are
attempting to project. Mass Media has a predominant influence and effect on
Psychographic segmentation. Lifestyle products may pertain to high
involvement products and purchase decisions, to speciality or luxury products
and purchase decisions.
Occasional Segmentation

Occasion segmentation focuses on analyzing occasions, independent of the

customers, such as considering Coke for occasions of being thirsty, having
dinner or going out, without taking into consideration the differences an affluent
and middle-class customer would have during these occasions.

Occasional customer segmentation merges customer-level and occasion-level

segmentation models and provides an understanding of the individual
customers needs, behavior and value under different occasions of usage and
time. Unlike traditional segmentation models, this approach assigns more than
one segment to each unique customer, depending on the current circumstances
they are under.

Segmentation by Benefits

Segmentation can take place according to benefits sought by the

consumer/customer.

Cultural Segmentation

Cultural Segmentation is used to classify markets according to cultural origin.

Culture is a strong dimension of consumer behaviour and is used to enhance
customer insight and as a component of predictive models. Cultural
segmentation enables appropriate communications to be crafted to particular
cultural communities, which is important for message engagement in a wide
range of organisations, including businesses, government and community
groups. Cultural Segmentation can be applied to existing customer data to
measure market penetration in key cultural segments by product, brand, channel
as well as traditional measures of recency, frequency and monetary value. These
benchmarks form an important evidence-base to guide strategic direction and
tactical campaign activity, allowing engagement trends to be monitored over
time.

Cultural Segmentation can also be mapped according to state, region, suburb

and neighbourhood. This provides a geographical market view of population
proportions and may be of benefit in selecting appropriately located premises,
determining territory boundaries and local marketing activities.
Census data is a valuable source of cultural data but cannot meaningfully be
applied to individuals. Name analysis (onomastics) is the most reliable and
efficient means of describing the cultural origin of individuals. The accuracy of
using name analysis as a surrogate for cultural background in Australia is 80-
85%, after allowing for female name changes due to marriage, social/political
reasons or colonial influence. The extent of name data coverage[12] means a user
will code a minimum of 99 percent of individuals with their most likely
ancestral origin.

Multi-Variable Account Segmentation

In Sales Territory Management, using more than one criterion to characterize

the organizations accounts, such as segmenting sales accounts by government,
business, customer, etc. and account size/duration, in effort to increase time
efficiency and sales volume.

Using segmentation in customer retention

The basic approach to retention-based segmentation is that a company tags

each of its active customers with four values:

Is this customer at high risk of canceling the company's service?

One of the most common indicators of high-risk customers is a drop off in

usage of the company's service. For example, in the credit card industry this
could be signaled through a customer's decline in spending on his or her card.

Is this customer at high risk of switching to a competitor to purchase product?

Many times customers move purchase preferences to a competitor brand. This

may happen for many reasons those of which can be more difficult to measure.
It is many times beneficial for the former company to gain meaningful insights,
through data analysis, as to why this change of preference has occurred. Such
insights can lead to effective strategies for winning back the customer or on how
not to lose the target customer in the first place.

Is this customer worth retaining?

This determination boils down to whether the post-retention profit generated
from the customer is predicted to be greater than the cost incurred to retain the
customer, and includes evaluation of customer lifecycles.

What retention tactics should be used to retain this customer?

For customers who are deemed worthy of saving, it is essential for the company
to know which save tactics are most likely to be successful. Tactics commonly
used range from providing special customer discounts to sending customers
communications that reinforce the value proposition of the given service.

Price discrimination

Where a monopoly exists, the price of a product is likely to be higher than in a

competitive market and the price can be increased further if the market can be
segmented with different prices charged to different segments charging higher
prices to those segments willing and able to pay more and charging less to those
whose demand is price elastic. The price discriminator might need to create rate
fences that will prevent members of a higher price segment from purchasing at
the prices available to members of a lower price segment. This behavior is
rational on the part of the monopolist, but is often seen
by competition authorities as an abuse of a monopoly position, whether or not
the monopoly itself is sanctioned. Areas in which this price discrimination is
seen range from transportation to pharmaceuticals. Price discrimination may be
considered price-fixing under the control of an oligopoly or consortium in
certain circumstances of deregulation and leisure.

Algorithms and approaches

Any existing discrete variable is a segmentation - this is called "a priori"

segmentation, as opposed to "post-hoc" segmentation resulting from a research
project commissioned to collect data on many customer attributes. Customers
can be segmented by gender ('Male' or 'Female') or attitudes ('progressive' or
'conservative'), but also by discretizednumeric variables, such as by age ("<30"
or ">=30") or income ("The 99% (AGI<US $300,000)" vs "The 1% (AGI >=
US $300,000)").

Common statistical techniques for segmentation analysis include:

 Clustering algorithms such as K-means or other Cluster analysis

Statistical mixture models such as Latent Class Analysis

Ensemble approaches such as Random Forests

Other algorithms such as Neural Networks

TARGETING
A target market is a group of customers a business has decided to aim
its marketing efforts and ultimately its Merchandise towards. A well-defined
target market is the first element of a marketing
strategy. Product, price, promotion, and place are the four elements of
a marketing mix strategy that determine the success of a product in
the marketplace

Target markets

Target markets are groups of individuals that are separated by distinguishable

and noticeable market segmentation including the following:

Geographic - addresses (their location climate region)

 Demographic/socioeconomic segmentation - (gender, age, income,
occupation, education, household size, and stage in the family life cycle)

Psychographic segmentation - (similar attitudes, values, and lifestyles)

Behavioral segmentation - (occasions, degree of loyalty)

Product-related segmentation - (relationship to a product)[2]

Strategies for reaching target markets

Marketers have outlined four basic strategies to satisfy target markets:

undifferentiated marketing or mass marketing, differentiated marketing,
concentrated marketing, and micromarketing/ nichemarketing.

Mass marketing

A market coverage strategy in which a firm decides to ignore market segment

differences and appeal to everyone with one offer. It is the type of marketing
where a product is sold through persuasion to a wide audience. The idea is to
broadcast a message that will reach the largest number of people possible.
Traditionally mass marketing has focused on radio, television, and newspapers
as the medium used to reach this broad audience. Many companies have begun
shying away from mass marketing due to the large expenses involved in
reaching the whole market. 53.

Differentiated marketing strategy

One where the company decides to provide separate offerings to each different
market segment that it targets. It is also called multisegment marketing and as is
clearly seen that it tries to appeal to multiple segments in the market. Each
segment is targeted uniquely as the company provides unique benefits to
different segments. It increases the total sales but at the expense of increase in
the cost of investing in the business.
Concentrated marketing Or Niche marketing

This approach focuses on selecting a particular market niche on which

marketing efforts are targeted. Your firm is focusing on a single segment so you
can concentrate on understanding the needs and wants of that particular market
intimately. Small firms often benefit from this strategy as focusing on one
segment enables them to compete effectively against larger firms.

Direct marketing

For sales teams, one way to reach out to target markets is through direct
marketing. This is done by buying consumer database based on the defined
segmentation profiles. These database usually comes with consumer contacts
(e.g., email, mobile no., home no., etc.).

The psychology of target marketing

A principal concept in target marketing is that those who are targeted show a
strong affinity or brand loyalty to that particular brand. Target Marketing allows
the marketer or sales team to customize their message to the targeted group of
consumers in a focused manner. Research has shown that racial similarity, role
congruence, labeling intensity of ethnic identification, shared knowledge and
ethnic salience all promote positive effects on the target market. Research has
generally shown that target marketing strategies are constructed
from consumer inferences of similarities between some aspects of
the advertisement (e.g., source pictured, language used, lifestyle represented)
and characteristics of the consumer (e.g. reality or desire of having the
represented style). Consumers are persuaded by the characteristics in the
advertisement and those of the consumer.

54.
Online targetig

Targeting in online advertising is when advertisers use a series of methods in

order to showcase a particular advertisement to a specific group of
people. Advertisers use these techniques in order to find distinct individuals that
would be most interested in their product or service. With the social media
practices of today, advertising has become a very profitable industry. People are
constantly exposed to advertisements and their content, which is key to its
success. In the past, advertisers had tried to build brand names with television
and magazines; however, advertisers have been using audience targeting as a
new form of medium. The rise of internet users and its wide availability has
made this possible for advertisers. Targeting specific audiences has allowed for
advertisers to constantly change the content of the advertisements to fit the
needs and interests of the individual viewer. The content of different
advertisements are presented to each consumer to fit their individual needs.

The first forms of online advertising targeting came with the implementation of
the personal email message The implementation of the internet in the 1990's had
created a new advertising medium; until marketers realized that the internet was
a multi-billion dollar industry, most advertising was limited or illicit

Many argue that the largest disadvantage to this new age of advertising is lack
of privacy and the lack of transparency between the consumer and the
marketers. Much of the information collected is used without the knowledge of
the consumer or their consent Those who oppose online targeting are worried
that personal information will be leaked online such as their personal finances,
health records, and personal identification information.

Advertisers use three basic steps in order to target a specific audience: data
collection, data analysis, and implementation. They use these steps to accurately
gather information from different internet users. The data they collect includes
information such as the internet user's age, gender, race, and many other
contributing factors.Advertisers need to use different methods in order to
capture this information to target audiences. Many new methods have been
implemented in internet advertising in order to gather this information. These
methods include demographic targeting, behavioral targeting, retargeting, and
location-based targeting.

Much of the information gathered is collected as the consumers are browsing

the web. Many internet users are unaware of the amount of information being
taken from them as they browse the internet. They don't know how it is being
collected and what it is being used for. Cookies are used, along with other
online tracking systems, in order to monitor the internet behaviors of
consumers. 55.
Many of these implemented methods have proven to be extremely
profitable. This has been beneficial for all three parties involved: the advertiser,
the producer of the good or service, and the consumer. Those who are opposed
of targeting in online advertising are still doubtful of its productivity, often
arguing the lack of privacy given to internet users. Many regulations have been
in place to combat this issue throughout the United States.[14]

POSITIONING
 Positioning is a marketing strategy that aims to make a brand occupy a distinct
position, relative to competing brands, in the mind of the customer. Companies
apply this strategy either by emphasizing the distinguishing features of their
brand (what it is, what it does and how, etc.) or they may try to create a suitable
image (inexpensive or premium, utilitarian or luxurious, entry-level or high-end,
etc.) through advertising. Once a brand is positioned, it is very difficult to
reposition it without destroying its credibility. It is also called product
positioning.

Definitions

Positioning was first introduced by Jack Trout in 1969 ("Industrial Marketing"

Magazine- June/1969) and then popularized by Al Ries and Jack Trout in their
bestselling book "Positioning - The Battle for Your Mind." (McGraw-Hill 1981)

This differs slightly from the context in which the term was first published in
1969 by Jack Trout in the paper "Positioning" is a game people play in todays
me-too market place" in the publication Industrial Marketing, in which the case
is made that the typical consumer is overwhelmed with unwanted advertising,
and has a natural tendency to discard all information that does not immediately
find a comfortable (and empty) slot in the consumer's mind. It was then
expanded into their ground-breaking first book, "Positioning: The Battle for
Your Mind," in which they define Positioning as "an organized system for
finding a window in the mind. It is based on the concept that communication
can only take place at the right time and under the right circumstances" (p. 19 of
2001 paperback edition).

What most will agree on is that Positioning is something (perception) that

happens in the minds of the target market. It is the aggregate perception the
market has of a particular company, product or service in relation to their
perceptions of the competitors in the same category. An important concept in
positioning is that it expects that consumers compare and analyze products in
the marketplace, whether based on features of the product itself (quality,
multiple uses, etc.), price, and/or packaging and image.[1] It will happen whether
or not a company's management is proactive, reactive or passive about the
ongoing process of evolving a position. But a company can positively influence
the perceptions through enlightened strategic actions.

A company, a product or a brand must have positioning concept in order to

survive in the competitive marketplace. Many individuals confuse a core idea
concept with a positioning concept. A Core Idea Concept simply describes the
product or service. Its purpose is merely to determine whether the idea has any
interest to the end buyer. In contrast, a Positioning Concept attempts to sell the
benefits of the product or service to a potential buyer. The positioning concepts
focus on the rational or emotional benefits that buyer will receive or feel by
using the product/service. A successful positioning concept must be developed
and qualified before a "positioning statement" can be created. The positioning
concept is shared with the target audience for feedback and optimization;
the Positioning Statement (as defined below) is a business person's articulation
of the target audience qualified idea that would be used to develop a creative
brief for an agency to develop advertising or a communications strategy.

Positioning Statement As written in the book Crossing the Chasm (Copyright

1991, by Geoffrey Moore, HarperCollins Publishers), the position statement is a
phrase so formulated: For (target customer) who (statement of the need or
opportunity), the (product name) is a (product category) that (statement of key
benefit that is, compelling reason to buy). Unlike (primary competitive
alternative), our product (statement of primary differentiation).

Differentiation in the context of business is what a company can hang its hat on
that no other business can. For example, for some companies this is being the
least expensive. Other companies credit themselves with being the first or the
fastest. Whatever it is a business can use to stand out from the rest is called
differentiation. Differentiation in todays over-crowded marketplace is a
business imperative, not only in terms of a companys success, but also for its
continuing survival.

Brand positioning process

Effective Brand Positioning is contingent upon identifying and communicating

a brand's uniqueness, differentiation and verifiable value. While "me too" brand
positioning contradicts the notion of differentiation, this type of "copycat" brand
positioning can work if the business offers its solutions at a significant discount
over the other competitor(s.) According to Lamb, some companies position their
brands "as being similar to competing products or brands"; a few examples are
"margarine tasting like butter" and "artificial sweeteners tasting like sugar".
[1]
This can also be seen in reactive marketing, when companies reposition more
than just products: after Target added food and grocery items to become a
"supercenter", certain grocery stores (such as Texas chain HEB) added retail
products to become supercenters as well. Another example would be the iPhone
spawning several competitive smartphones - differentiated from Apple, yes, but
not as significantly as Apple would prefer based on the patent infringement
lawsuits filed by Apple.[2] The conclusion seems to be emulate, but do not
duplicate. As the Harvard Business Review notes when discussing positioning
and strategy, "A company can outperform rivals only if it can establish a
difference that it can preserve."

Generally, the brand positioning process involves:

1. Identifying the business's direct competition (could include players that

offer your product/service amongst a larger portfolio of solutions)

2. Understanding how each competitor is positioning their business today

(e.g. claiming to be the fastest, cheapest, largest, the #1 provider, etc.)

3. Documenting the provider's own positioning as it exists today (may not

exist if startup business)

4. Comparing the company's positioning to its competitors' to identify

viable areas for differentiation

5. Developing a distinctive, differentiating and value-based positioning

concept

6. Creating a positioning statement with key messages and customer value

propositions to be used for communications development across the
organization

Product positioning process

Generally, the product positioning process involves:-

1. Defining the market in which the product or brand will compete (who the
relevant buyers are)

2. Identifying the attributes (also called dimensions) that define the product
'space'

3. Collecting information from a sample of customers about their

perceptions of each product on the relevant attributes

4. Determine each product's share of mind

 5. Determine each product's current location in the product space

6. Determine the target market's preferred combination of attributes

(referred to as an ideal vector)

7. Examine the fit between the product and the market.

59.
Positioning concepts

More generally, there are three types of positioning concepts:

1. Functional positions

Solve problems

Provide benefits to customers

Get favorable perception by investors (stock profile) and lenders

2. Symbolic positions

Self-image enhancement

Ego identification

Belongingness and social meaningfulness

Affective fulfillment

3. Experiential positions

Provide sensory stimulation

Provide cognitive stimulation

Repositioning a company

In volatile markets, it can be necessary - even urgent - to reposition an entire

company, rather than just a product line or brand. When Goldman Sachs and
Morgan Stanley suddenly shifted from investment to commercial banks, for
example, the expectations of investors, employees, clients and regulators all
needed to shift, and each company needed to influence how these perceptions
changed. Doing so involves repositioning the entire firm.

This is especially true of small and medium-sized firms, many of which often
lack strong brands for individual product lines. In a prolonged recession,
business approaches that were effective during healthy economies often become
ineffective and it becomes necessary to change a firm's positioning. Upscale
restaurants, for example, which previously flourished on expense account
dinners and corporate events, may for the first time need to stress value as a sale
tool.

Repositioning a company involves more than a marketing challenge. It involves

making hard decisions about how a market is shifting and how a firm's
competitors will react. Often these decisions must be made without the benefit
of sufficient information, simply because the definition of "volatility" is that
change becomes difficult or impossible to predict.

Positioning is however difficult to measure, in the sense that customer

perception of a product may not have been tested on quantitative measures.
