3. Marketing Mix
3.1. Product
3.2. Price
The price of strawberry is approximately RM 20 per kg, depending on the supplier. The
yield of polyphenol for every kg of strawberry extracted is approximately 0.5kg per kg.
Thus, it can fairly be said that 1 liter of our product would cost around RM 40. The
bulk-size form would cost around RM 40 for 1 liter while the consumer-size would cost
around RM 4 for 100 ml.
3.3. Place/Distribution
The distribution for large companies and producers is via local container transportation
services. This would be in the form of bulk-sizes and requires more unconventional
methods of delivery. These bulk-size products will directly arrive at the producer’s plant
under scheduled ordering. Online ordering service is also available in bulk-size and will
be delivered using a local courier services, locally or internationally.
The distribution for local end users would also be via local container transportation
services but would only apply to locations that are more further away than the
production plant. These would be in the form of consumer-sizes and would be sold in
local supermarkets for the end-users or for small producers. For locations closer to the
production plant, distribution via direct delivery can be made available. Online ordering
service is also available in consumer-size and will be delivered using a local courier
services, locally or internationally.
3.4. Promotion
Due to the nature of this newly founded product, the public is not made aware of this
product. To do this, it is necessary for the product to be advertised, to be demonstrated
and to be tasted. It needs to be advertised so the public are aware of Frosty Delta’s
product and its specialties. It requires a demonstration to assure the public of the
authenticity of our product. It requires to be tasted as will all food product, the best way
to judge is by smelling and tasting the product by oneself.
The promotion for this product will be done using the mass media as the primary source
of our marketing and promoting strategy. The public will be made aware of this product
by using one of the mass media outlet such as the social media to show people ‘what is
this product’ and everything about it. Using the social media as a marketing tool is
commonly done these days and known to be very successful.
One part of the demonstration can be done using the social media. Displaying a
demonstration of our product in the form of video will allow the public to visually
affirm of the authenticity of our product. The other part of this demonstration would be
by actual live demonstration. This will take place all over the country, mostly in major
cities. This way, people would be able to see firsthand the authenticity of our product.
Using this method, not only Frosty Delta can assure our customers of our authenticity
and selling points, but we can also let them have a taste of it by giving out free samples.
3.5. People
Our major target market is the two-primary group which are for the large producers and
companies and for the end-users. The bulk-size packaging will be aimed at the large
producers which will require this additive to be mixed into to their recipes. The
consumer-size packaging will be aimed at end-users such small ice cream producers or
people interested in making ice cream or other cream delicacies.
The idea was first presented when Zulfadli Shahrom when his lifelong concern was why
ice cream melts before you eat it. Then Naim Zailani and Amirul Aqil presented on a
way to further enchance an ice cream by mixing it with a substance called polyphenol.
This idea was inspired from a few Japanese scientist when they discovered that
polyphonel helps an ice cream to melt slower.
3.6. Process
Crushed strawberry
enters blender
Good strawberry
crushed
Strawberry selected
manually
Strawberry enters
washer
The process of producing this additive is primarily by using the extraction method. This
process can use any kind of fruit for extraction but in our process, strawberry is the
preferred fruit as it has the highest yield of polyphenol, a major substance in the
additive.
The strawberry is first delivered in the factory. It then enters a washer where the dirt and
other contaminates are cleaned off. It is then placed in drying trays where it is dried
while workers manually select strawberries with defective properties and stores them
away to be used for other processes. Only the good strawberries further enter the
process. The strawberries then enter a presser where the juices are squeezed out of the
fruit. The juice is collected while the pressed strawberries enters a blender where it turns
into mush.
The mush is then filtered, and the juice is collected. The filtrate is taken out of the
process line to be used for other processes. The collected juice is then purified and
boiled. The juice then is analyzed to measure the polyphenol content. If the polyphenol
content is within the specifications, it enters the packaging process line. If it does not, it
is treated and analyzed again until it reaches specifications.
3.7. Physical/Packaging
The packaging will in two forms which are the bulk-size form and the consumer-size
form. The bulk-size form is where the liquid will be stored in large solution bottle
which can hold 1 liter of the additive. It is packed into a carton box which will contain
12 bottles. The box is then sealed tightly with plastic wrapper. The consumer-size form
is where the liquid will be stored in small bottles which can hold 100 ml of the solution.
It will be packed into a carton box which will contain 20 bottles. All the bottles and
seals will be properly sterilized and cleaned based on the FDA regulations. The
products should be kept below room temperature and in cool storage. The products
should not be in direct contact with sunlight.
