this week's slides

Place- Marketing Strategy

We are doing a retail business since it is a cafe where people would go to study and eat.


Market Segmentation

Mass market, Unique, Relaxing, Customers' Favourite


Visibility and Convenience

Since our business is a retail business, we are going to place our cafes at shopping malls. We would place our shops at the centre of the shopping malls since it would be more accessible for the customers to visit our cafe. Placing our cafes in the centre of the shopping malls would attract more customers. We are going to place our cafes in shopping malls where it is not too crowded nor very less crowded so that we get a limited number of customers.


Market Coverage

Our business will be exclusive distribution. Since our product is unique such that the cafe items would have images of the customers' favourite, we would limit the availability according to the amount of resources we have. It also affords an image of exclusivity. 


Distribution Logistics

Transport: We would like to import our resources both from overseas and local. We might import the food items through air freight since it is more faster and allows our resources to reach the cafe frequently.

Price- Marketing Strategy (DanceNDine)

The customer: The customer should be able to pay according to the uniqueness of the cafe items. Each cafe item would not go up to more than 30-40 dollars. 


The competition: Our items are more exclusive and it serves both music, dance and food. So we would charge higher than usual since we allow them to study at the cafe. 


Costs: Money for backup resources, Fixed cost for the place we decide to place our cafe


Corporate and Marketing objectives: We are trying to give a place for customers to study and relax. We are also trying to get the money from the business and give half of it to the orphanages. The higher the prices, the more money we can collect. So, the more the customers we can attract to our cafe, the more money we can earn.

Place - Marketing Strategy SWEET SWEETs

We will do a retail business as we are selling sweets straight up to people who enter the shop.

We aim to do a Market Segmentation and Visibility and Convenience thing. We want target the general public who buy candy but at the same time we wish to give the brand a sense of exclusiveness as this is the only shop to import candy from overseas to sell here and therefore we aim for a sort of exotic thing yet be able to be sold to all people making it very appealing.
We aim to do Selective Distribution as we are not mass selling but trying to keep it exclusive as well and so this will help as this keeps the product exclusive yet being sold to the general public.
We aim to import the candy by air freight as candy may spoil and as we need to keep a continuous supply we have to receive the products fast.

Pricing - Market Strategy SWEET SWEETs

Customers: We predict that the customers will want to pay less or the same for locally found sweets but will probably pay higher for the sweets imported from overseas this is because people are more receptive to paying stuff which comes from overseas especially places like America as they feel the quality of them is better and thus we will leverage on that to raise the pricing while not compromising on the amount of people buying.

Cost: The main cost is the start up and the loans we will need for rent in the area we choose to sell our products at. However the most draining of all, will be the continuous spending to import candy not sold in Singapore as well as the candy sold in Singapore which will be a continuous leech on our returns.

Competition: For all locally sold sweets, we will source the pricing of normal sweets sold from our competitors like Candy Empire and Cocoa Trees and keep the pricing of the sweets already found in Singapore the same. We will charge higher as people are more likely to pay more if they feel the quality is higher which is what we do by importing sweets from overseas to make people think that the quality is indeed higher.

Corporate Objectives: 
We are trying to gain a certain monopoly in the business as we will be one of the first to bring in candy not sold in Singapore thus making us the only suppliers. The pricing will also help as it gives the products a sense of quality being from overseas so we will be able to increase the prices.
