This project is an application of the marketing

concepts used as a business function by the oils,
divisions of Unilever Pakistan. The goal of
Marketing is to create customers’ satisfaction
profitably by building value- laden leaderships
with important customers. It calls on the
organizations to think “customer” and regard him
as a King.
We as students require an in depth insight into
creative world of marketing. We need to know
how vital role marketing plays in any
organization as they all reach out to satisfy
citizen and customer needs, providing them
values resulting in profits. Our aim was to
launch a complete new product in oil division of
Unilever and to design the strategies for the
introduction and promotion of this newly
launched cooking oil. The aim was also to
objectively analyze these principles as applied in
business environment in Pakistan.

analysis for cooking oil industry

Climate
30
Political Factors:
• Democracies are under pressure to show that they can protect the health of their
population.
• Global society is under pressure to demonstrate it can mobilize resources to
effectively tackle global social problems.
• Tackling health problems requires long term thinking, complex partnerships and
innovative forms of organization.
• Health suffers more in wars and other complex consequences.
Economical Factors:
• Rising price of palm oil

• Purchasing power is affected by the inflation
• Import of palm oil is affected by dollar exchange rate
Social factors:
• Health is important to people-consistently regarded by rich or poor

• There is a complex interaction between the right of an individual good health; the right of
community to protect itself against health threats; and its responsibility to provide for the
health of its members.
• Health protection requires across the society professions organizations etc. public health
relies on public support of its “licenses to operate” and its ability to change behavior.
31
Technological factors:
• Health problems are always dynamic and sometimes this change is unpredictable. Health
interventions can lead to new health hazards.
• Without knowledge about health, there can be no response to health threats.
• Technology is poorly distributed in areas where people are unable to create demand for it
effectively.
• New technologies are the result of increasingly sophisticated processes and currently
seem to be of decreasing cost effectiveness.
• New technologies pose poorly-understood risks as well as offering hard to qualify
benefits
• Information technology has a potential to revolutionize the disseminations of knowledge
about health.
32
ASSUMPTIONS:
It is assumed that the political, economical, and social condition will remain same during the
whole year in which the product is launched e-g market price of palm seeds.

offered for sale in the market; the Place or how the product is distributed; and the
Promotion which brings the product to the attention of the customers, arouses his/her
interest, builds up the desire for the product and finally moves him/her to act /purchase the
product.
The following section of this project will deal the Marketing Mix used by UNILEVER for

Product Features:
Algae Cooking Oil offers two new best features for the new millennium; the power of algae
and the omega 3.
Omega 3 algae oil is nutritionally identical to fish oil. It contains DHA and EPA. But it is not an
animal product. It conserves fish resources while providing us with an excellent source of omega
3 essential fatty acids. Algae oil could replace both fish oil and flaxseed oil as an omega 3
supplement now
The algal-oil feed stock that is used to produce bio diesel can also be used for fuel directly as
Straight Vegetable Oil(SVO)
The algal-oil feedstock that is used to produce biodisel can also be used for fuel directly as
"Straight Vegetable Oil", (SVO). The benefit of using the oil in this manner is that it doesn't
require the additional energy needed for transesterification,

It reads: Eat Healthy Live Healthy
The message concentrates on aroma, taste, healthy and happy cheerful life.The
theme wsas image building. It informs about the product and persuades the
consumers to buy it.
The color of the omega 3 cookimg oil is lightened as buyers prefer light oil.It will
get little support due to strong competition from the likes of corn oil, canola oil,etc
therefore not much of the advertising budget, rather promotional efforts are
allocated towards it. These ads emphasize lighteness and the strong energy source
i.e algae as a main ingredient of the omega 3 algae cooking oil .
SALES PROMOTION:

but literate house wives. Buntings, posters, trade flags(hung at the retailers)
inducing consumers to try the latest taste for omega 3 algae cooking oil.
Besides this the cookery programs shown on TV will be a good promotion tactic as
these programs will show omega 3 algae cooking oil use in different Pakistani as
well as other countries’ popular dishes. In this way the viewers will remember the
brand name through the message “gift for the new millennium; eat healthy live
healthy”.
The symbol and the color of the bottle of omega 3 algae cooking oil is also a good
way to communicate to the consumer who can’t read but can easily recognize the
bottle by the algae symbol or the green and black color scheme.
The unique and attractive design of the bottles is also a way of consumers’
