3.4 Market Demographics
3.6.1 STRENGTHS:
Knowledge
Our competitors are others beverages companies such as Gourmet & Amrat.
Relationship selling
We get to know our customers, one by one. Our direct sales force maintains a relationship.
History
We develop new products in market as such our competitors have good market worth.
3.6.2 WEAKNESSES:
Costs
20
The competitor’s stores have better economics. Their per-unit costs of selling are quite low. They
aren't offering what we offer in terms of knowledgeable selling, but their cost per square foot and
per dollar of sales are much lower.
Price and volume
Our competitors can afford low prices, discounting & promos to achieve the sale volume.
Brand power
Take one look at their full page advertising, in color, in the Sunday paper. We can't match them
easily
3.6.3 OPPORTUNITIES:
Area networks
Our beverages are in small business, and even in home offices. At the time of starting our aim is
to achieve local areas market as TGS, PSV, LGS, FFR, LFS, CR & etc.
Service
As our target market needs more service, our competitors are less likely than ever to provide it.
Their business model doesn't include service, just selling the products because they are well
reputed brands.
21
This is the process of evaluating each market segment’s attractiveness and selecting one or more
segments to enter.
After evaluating different segments, the company must now decide which and how many
segments it will target, because buyers have unique needs and wants, a seller could potentially
view each buyer as a separate target market. Ideally, then, a seller might design a separate
marketing program for each buyer. There are three types of market segments.
Pure segments more in urban and suburban areas as compare to rural. 35 % population resides in
urban areas and 65% population lives in rural areas in Pakistan. Pure Cola is focusing on urban
areas as people there are more inclined towards such beverage while people in rural areas are
more inclined drinking lassi and desi drinks.
AGE
Pakistan is considered to be a young country i.e. average age of Pakistani population is less than
38 years. Thus targeting young generation can be a beneficial marketing strategy for soft drink
companies. In fact this is the case, all the major brands like Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Gourmet
mainly target younger generation in Pakistan.
GENDER
Pure cola will target both genders with its wide variety of drinks. This market is relatively large
and is open to both genders, thereby allowing greater product diversification.
FAMILY TYPE
Pure cola will introduce its economy pack, and that’s how they focus family and groups.
INCOME
Pure Cola will segment different income levels by packaging. Like for small income people it
has small returnable glass bottle, for middle people it has non returnable bottle and for higher
income people it has coke tin.
22
4.1.2 Psychographic Segmentation
All psychographics variables the social class, lifestyle, occupation, level of education and
personality, Pure Cola will segments everyone, but again it is their packaging which is different
for different consumers.
LEVEL OF EDUCATION
A company has to make promotional strategies keeping in view the customer level. If the
percentage of education is high in a country then through advertisements people can be made
well aware of their product and can convey their message easily. Promotion and education has a
direct relationship.
