10. 10. c) Customers needs and wants • Usually, to drink good tea you mainly have to buy loose tea not convenient to prepare • Our two segments want to save time Need of high standing tea but easy, convenient and quick to prepare on the market of hot tea 10
11. 11. d) Competitors • Low level of competition but the company implanted are very strong Indirect competitors : Harrods, Teavana, East India Company, Le Palais Des Thes, Kusmi Tea Paris all high price & very good quality, Kusmi Tea for add & distribution 11
12. 12. d) Competitors Direct competitors (differently positioned in order to avoid competing in the same field): - Keurig Green Mountain: specialized in the coffee and tea market, very good know-how and quality of their products 12
13. 13. - The newcomer Unilever: use its reputation to penetrate this flourishing market - The Starbucks’ Verisimo (cheaper): use its stores to catch the most possible market shares d) Competitors 13
14. 14. e) SWOT analysis Strengths Weaknesses - Tea market is huge in the UK- Existing loyal customers- High-end and luxurious image that no other tea pod machine companies can compete with- Famous spokespersons - Premium product quality - Higher prices - Limited distributions of products Opportunities Threats - The demand (UK tea buyers have the highest revenue, so they are more able to buy high-end tea) - Convince new customers (pre-ground tea users) - Huge market, continually growth since 2007 - Find new tastes (UK consumers need of quality), diversify the offer (large range) - Huge and powerful competitor: Keurig - More affordable competitors: Starbucks - Substitute products (soft drinks, coffee…) - Potential entry of new actors (no high entry barriers) - Low switching costs for the customers 14
15. 15. f) Objectives and Issues • First year objective: success in London • Second year objective: extend the product to other countries and continents MKT actions & tea pods adapted to each country 15
16. 16. Issues • To know the same success than the brand got with Nespresso coffee • The coffee pod market nowadays a little saturated Invest a lot in the tea pods market which propose big growth perspectives 16
