CURRENT SITUATION
The main aim of Nestle is to reach every single Pakistani. Nestle currently launched a new
flavored juice in Pakistan that is Nestle Guvava in 2008.The profit and net profit margins
remained stable. Overall profit margin showed a slight increase but a slight decline in gross
profit margin was witnessed.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
“To know the reason of decline in sales of Nestle orange juice”

6
Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

SALES GROWTH
Nestle orange juice has been a flagship brand of Nestle juices since years. However, their sales
declined to -1 % as compared to last year.

Last year growth in sales This year growth in sales


20% -1%

• As per the meeting with the Brand manager juices, we got an insight about customer
attitude, competitors, product development etc.
• Total contribution of orange juice is 20% to revenue in the juices category; however the
overall market share of juices is 60%.

CUSTOMER ATTITUDES
The main concern that the consumer’s of Nestle Orange juices have regarding the juice is related
to the purity of the juice. The factor and the feature that they are most concerned with is that is
the juice 100% pure and healthy?
The responses of prior studies reveal:
 People actually think that fruit juices are not that great for them because of the fructose
(fruit sugar). They think that when this frustose is processed its pure sugar gets
TERRIBLE for their health. So the solution to them is that if they want to have a taste of
orange they should try having an actual orange because the fiber in the pulp skin and
roughage will slow the absorbtion of the fructose.
 Another group of poeple suggests that instead of having packed juices one should go for
natural ones with pulp and fibre etc. They think that, that is much better for their health.
Only when one is in hurry one should go for processed juices.
 Yet another really inflexible lot thinks that juices are made from concentrated stuff which
as per them is not healthy at all.So they should always go for fresh jucies regarless of the
fact that they are in a hurry or not. And if they cannot get hold of fresh juices, they should
skip juices altogether.
 As per the staff of Nestle, poeple are getting diverted towards imported drink which
includes orange juices as well. As people are getting more health conscious, they are
willing to spend more on their health and thus are willing to purchase imported juices
regardless of the cost factor. People receive Nestle juices to be better than imported
juices.

NESTLÉ’S CONCERN
For Nestle, in their juices category, Nestle Orange has been their flagship brand since its
introduction in the market. As mentioned earlier, the total contribution of orange juice for Nestle
has been 20% until last year. However, due to changes in consumer’s attitudes, for some reason
or the other, the sales drastically decreased from 20% to negative 1% from last year to current
year. This has been a major area of concern for the organization, its top management and all
subsequent lower level staff. People at Nestle are really looking towards finding ways to bring
their flagship brand back to the position it was holding for years.
We discussed several issues with them to get started
with our research and to know what actually could
be the reason behind declining sales, the results of
the discussion were:
 Nestle orange juice has always been the
leading juice among all available nestle
flavors, it showed leading sales. However,
this year the leading sales were taken by
apple juice.
 There were no quality issues with Nestle
Orange juice, so it was surprising for the
juices team to see negative sales. The availability of Orange Juice was perfect and there
was not any such juice launched which could take away the share from orange juice, nor
there were any new competitors.
 According to the manager, being the pure orange juice with no artificial flavor, and
further added vitamin C should have improved the sales. However this was not what
actually happened.

MARKETING MIX
The Marketing environment at Nestle focuses on the principle of satisfying consumer needs. The
overall trust of consumers in Nestlé’s brands and products comes from a quality image that has
been continuously strengthened for over 130 years.
Nestlé strives to increase this trust through its commitment to environmentally sound business
practices. For this purpose Nestle:
 Bases environmental claims in advertising, promotional material, labeling and corporate
communications on solid scientific evidence;
 selects materials and printing methods for merchandising materials such as:
o consumer offers,
o in-store promotions,

o Displaying materials, leaflets and printed materials in light of environmental


considerations.

EXPLORATORY RESEARCH
Nestle juices has provided us the basis of their research concern to identify reasons behind the
decline in the sales of Nestle orange juice in particular. Exploratory
research will help us identify the research hypotheses. Hence, it is
of our benefit to start off the research process by conducting
exploratory research. Currently we have three general hypotheses
from which we have to establish priorities by exploring and
developing relationships between different variables.
Under the exploratory research we will have to conduct
1. Focus groups,

2. In-depth interviews and

3. Literature review.

FOCUS GROUPS
The purpose of conducting focus groups for our research project is to get an in depth insight of
the problems associated with the decline in sales of Nestle orange juice. Their views and
opinions about the taste preferences of the consumers will be exposed to us during the whole
focus group sessions. Information regarding emerging competitors, changes in the marketing
strategy, changes in buying preferences and other possible reasons which resulted in the decline
in sales of nestle orange juice will be extracted out.
A total of three focus groups have been planned in order to exchange ideas regarding reasons of
decline in sales of nestle orange juice. The members of one focus group will be composed of
1. Age group 20 - 25.

2. Age Group 26 - 31.

3. Housewives/working women

We have selected two different focus groups with age brackets of 20-25 and 26-31 so as two
know that whether the decline in sales is due to changes in taste preference with age. There may
be a difference of attitude with maturity between someone who is 20 and someone who is of 30
years of age. The third focus group we will conduct is with women so as to know the household
consumption.

15
Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

DETAILS OF FIRST FOCUS GROUP


There will be 7-10 participants in first group, both male and female. The reason behind the

participants in late twenties.

different areas and in different age groups of people.

LITERATURE SEARCH
For our project Literature search is one of the key exploratory studies that we conducted, in fact
literature search was the very initial study that we began our project with.
Initially right after we discovered our underlying problem, for which we are conducting this
marketing research, we started up with gathering data and statistics about the company i.e.,
Nestle itself. We used mostly the web for this purpose. The website that turned out to be most
helpful as far as gathering information of nestle was concerned was www.nestle.com.pk
After we got familiar with the company and its product line we moved on to gathering
information about our concerned product that is Nestle orange juice. We will gather statistical
data, study balance sheets and income statements and other financial reports that we will find out
on the web. The most helpful document that we discovered was the annual report of Nestle for
the year 2007. As It had sales records of paste years which gave us an insight of trends of
revenue.
We will also collect a few brochures that Nestle Pakistan has printed and these brochures and
pamphlets we will collect from Nestle office located in Lahore. The material and details printed
on these brochures etc shall also be of a great help and shall prove to be an important source for
us for understanding the company, as it may help us analyze whether they are having an
attractive marketing mix or not, which may help us in analyzing our problem.
Another major area that literature search helped us with is gathering data regarding the
competitors. On the web we found out who are the competitors of nestle in its juices line and
more precisely in its orange juice. Literature search revealed that a few of our major competitors
are:
• Shezan All pure

• Haleeb Good Day

HALEEB GOOD DAY


Haleeb Good Day offers 100% pure orange juices without any added sugar, flavors or
preservatives. Haleeb Good Day orange juice gives the consumers the absolute delight in taste,

19
Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

and revitalizes them at the same time. It is packed in a 6-layered Tetra Pack Brick Aseptic
packaging.

SHEZAN ALL PURE


Shezan All Pure juices enrich our senses with the fresh taste of 100% pure orange juice. A sip of
All Pure helps our taste buds embark on a magical journey filled with the sweetest fruit
sensations.

FOCUS GROUPS DETAILS


GOALS TO BE ACHIEVED THROUGH FOCUS GROUP
Goals to be achieved through focus group discussion are the following, which will help us in
analyzing the different factors that have attributed to decline in sales of Nestle Orange Juice.
• To understand consumers taste preferences.
• To analyze the effectiveness of promotion campaign on consumers.
• To determine consumer awareness about the product
• To determine quality of Nestle Orange Juice.
• To know why consumer are switching to competitors brand
Two focus groups were conducted with different consumers, who gave us an insight of their likes
and dislike about the orange juice.

PROCEDURE USED TO PLAN FOCUS GROUP


Both The focus groups were conducted at Ayesha Noor’s place, where the respondents were
called up. There were two moderators
1. Sarah Zahid
2. Humaira Waheed.

REASON FOR CONDUCTING THREE FOCUS GROUPS


Three focus groups were conducted. After the first focus group was conducted we analyzed the
results of the responses that we got from the focus group participants. After thorough analysis of
the results we came to a conclusion that although the information gathered from the focus group
was really useful and helpful but the information was not much diversified. The responses of the
participants were not much detailed and were not elaborated much. Thus, in order to cater to this
problem we planned for the second focus group whose results together with the first focus group

20
Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

gave us a clear picture. We used different age groups for the purpose having an insight of the
target markets changing opinions with age. The third focus group was conducted with women
i.e. the household heads who manage the house, to know about the household consumption of
Nestle Orange Juice.

SUMMARY OF FOCUS GROUP FINDINGS


The Focus group revealed some of the very useful and interesting findings which can help us in
identifying the solution to the problem. The respondent’s top of mind brand has always been
Nestle. Those who are moving away from Nestle orange juice are doing so because of its bitter
taste, and also because as per the participants competitors’ are offering pure juice with a good
taste and fair price. Consumers think that the price is also high. Also they doubt that although
Nestle claims the juice to be 100% pure it is not the case in reality. Consumers believe that the
juice has artificial flavor and preservatives added to it as a few very prominent ingredients. Also,
they say Orange Juice tastes good when it is chilled, whereas most of the times Nestle juices that
are available are not fully chilled.
We also found out that those who do not take Nestle Orange Juice or those who have switched to
another brand is because of increasing price of Nestle Orange Juice and its bitter taste. Also
some of the respondents proved to be more patriotic and didn’t like taking juice of any
Multinational firm. We also found out that those who take orange just simply love its bitter taste.
The focus group conducted with the decision making units for the households that is the
Housewives, we found out that they prefer buying Cartons of Nestle Orange Juice on monthly
basis in large packing’s for their family.

LIMITATIONS OF FINDINGS
The focus group discussion tends to get biased as many respondents try to emphasize their
opinion. Some of the respondents take clue from ideas of others and agree to what others say,
without thinking over it.

IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS
INTERVIEW # 1
NAME: BEENISH PERVAIZ
DESIGNATION: ASSISTANT BRAND MANAGER JUICES, Nestle
DATE: 28 -08-08
LOCATION: NESTLE

RESULTS OF INTERVIEW CONDUCTED AT NESTLE


Orange was our flagship brand last year. The sales growth of Nestle orange juice increased at the
decreasing rate last year. As you go higher up to attain your goals your base gets smaller. When
you have lots of consumer in the substantial market, it could be more difficult to gain larger
share within the portfolio.

Q What were the reasons for the decline in sales of Nestle juices?
The reasons that might have caused the decline in sales of Nestle juice
• The differentials between our Nestle orange juice and imported brand have decreased.
• Aggressive price increase because of that people would want to buy imported brand
• Flavor fatigue in orange, the larger the base the more difficult to bring in the additional
group.

Q How have you adapted to the change in sales growth of Nestle orange juice?
Nestle adapted with the change in sales growth by fortifying our orange juice with vitamin C. In
pure orange juice we are not adding any sugar or preservatives. A juice has a six months shelf
life. After six months we claim that the content of vitamin C in the product decreases by
approximately 10% as mentioned on the package. In order to cater this issue Nestle fortified the
juice and this resulted in the taste of Nestle orange juice to become bitter.

29
Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

Q: Why didn’t you go for marketing research after adding Vitamin C in it?
The feedback that we gained was from sales. We are currently in the process of reformulating the
product so in this process we’ll take old orange juice and will conduct 50-40 test.
Before the launce we have 50/40 win from consumer, over competitive product like Shezan,
Haleeb Good Day and our brand. 60% of consumer preferred our brand in blind test. After
consumer research and reformulating we are re-launching Nestle orange juice in next year, and
bringing down it to the initial taste, but the price will not be decreased.
All juices like Nestle, Haleeb and Shezan have maintained its prices, because juices and nectars
are profitable in case of value and drive of the company.

Q: Have you ever conducted any survey to get feedback?


In case of Nestle orange juice we haven’t conducted any survey, but for other flavors we did
conduct a survey. We did segmentation according to
• Consumer attitude,
• Behaviors,
• Consumer preferences and
• Chosen market segment for marketing effort.

Q: Do consumers perceive Nestle orange juice as 100% pure?


A lot of people do, thinking 100% as pure as 100% will be unethical. In the new brand
architecture launch we will eliminate the tag on Nestle orange juice that it is 100% pure.

Q: We conducted focus groups and results showed that minute maid is taking because of
additional pulp. What have you done in order to cater this issue?
Minute maid has pulp but has 0% fruit content (zero %).

Q: Why do you conduct research after launch, why not before launch?
Nestle does conduct marketing research before launch. None of our product is launched before
60/40 percent win. We did conduct marketing research before launching chouynsa nectar and
red grapes. We had 71/29 percent win meaning that Shezan grapes had 29% and nestle red
grapes had 71% win.

Q: Define SEC A and B


The segmentation of class of consumers is done on social standing which includes
• Educational level
• Economic Status

30
Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

The definition of SEC varies from one research house to the other. The individuals in SEC A
must have an income level > 25,000 and their education level should be at least BA.

Q: What is the scope of Nestle juices world wide


Nestle juices caters 4 markets
• America
• Pakistan
• Thailand
• Malaysia
Nestle has no international expertise on all the products that it caters. There is no global research
being conducted on brand essence and brand positioning. Most of the researches have been
conducted in Pakistan.

Q: Have you looked into the issue of increasing the size of 200ml pack to 250ml?
We ordered the machinery to increase the content of 200ml pack to 250 ml but it did not work
out because the price per juice increased from Rs. 18 to Rs. 25. This would have an impact on
the sales of juices.
Another reason for not increasing the packaging was that the small packaging is for trial
generation.

the price, its quality, and taste. But they had a major problem with the supply in the past as
supply was not sufficient to meet demand.
Demand has always exceeded for nestle orange juice but Al Fateh has not faced any situation
when they have no supply to meet the demand of Nestle juices. Also, some regular customers
have also started complaining that the Nestle Orange Juice is getting bitterer than it previously
was.
According to the interviewers the company was not in a position to meet its rising demand in
past and they always had issues with their distributors such as DEANS BROTHERS. Customers
have complaint regarding the non availability of Nestle Orange Juice, and in case when there is
shortage of Nestle orange juice consumers go for others brands.

According to the small retailers Nestle is the most preferred brand and they have no issues
regarding price and quality of Nestle orange juice. The demand of 200 ml Nestle orange juice is
the highest. Supply remained a problem in past but now they said it’s almost ok.
One of the most interesting facts that we have found was that Nestle juices were placed mostly in
the back shelf’s in small stores. The retailers didn’t understand the fact that highest demanded
should be placed in front.

objectives previously mentioned which includes:

DESIGNATION: FINANCIAL ANALYST

Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

EXPERIENCE: 2 1/2
DATE: 28 -08-08
LOCATION: NESTLE

FINDINGS OF INTERVIEW CONDUCTED AT NESTLE


The information that we gathered showed that the sales growth in each country was calculated
distributor wise. In Lahore there are 5 distributors of Nestle juices. The distribution to the
distributors is based on the type of flavors that they want to keep in their stores.
In Lahore the largest sales are made in Defense. A sales report is prepared by the sales
department on retailing and invoicing that is used to calculate the total sales growth over the last
year.
This showed us that how the distribution channel is working. Defence is the major sales
generating area and they should focus on improving it.

LITERATURE SEARCH
For our project Literature search is one of the key exploratory studies that we conducted, in fact
literature search was the very initial study that we began our project with. The website that
turned out to be most helpful as far as gathering information of Nestle was concerned was
www.nestle.com.pk

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (DEC03-DEC07):


FY07 was a good year for NPL as its top line reached a new landmark of PKR 28 billion
following an excellent growth of 28% compared to FY06. Primary contribution came from its
pillar product categories, milks, baby food and juices. Fresh milk volume grew by 29% over the
same period last year; however, this was still not sufficient to meet production requirements for
the year.
The increasing sales trend (CAGR of 28% during FY03-FY07) is primarily attributed to
continued focus on sales and marketing efforts, innovative strategies and a sound distribution
network.
This robust growth in sales translated into a solid increasing operating profit of Rs 3.53 billion,
an increase of 33%. However, this primarily relates to higher fixed cost absorption from
inventory that led to lower profitability in FY'06. In addition, efforts in 2007 include a favorable
movement in sales mix and rigorous fixed cost control.
The literature search helped us in gathering data regarding the competitors. On the web we found
out who are the competitors of nestle in its juices line and more precisely in its orange juice.
Literature search revealed that a few of our major competitors are:

• Shezan All pure


• Haleeb Good Day

34
Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

• Minute Maid

MINUTE MAID
One of the leading competitors of Nestle juice is Minute Maid launched by Coca Cola. Sales of
still beverages, such as Powerade and Minute Maid fruit juices, jumped 14 percent by volume,
far outpacing a four percent rise by sparkling beverages, such as Coke and Sprite.

HALEEB GOOD DAY


Haleeb Good Day offers 100% pure orange juices without any added sugar, flavors or
preservatives. Haleeb Good Day orange juice gives the consumers the absolute delight in taste,
and revitalizes them at the same time. It is packed in a 6-layered Tetra Pack Brick Aseptic
packaging.

SHEZAN ALL PURE


Shezan All Pure juices enrich our senses with the fresh taste of 100% pure orange juice. A sip of
All Pure helps our taste buds embark on a magical journey filled with the sweetest fruit
sensations.
The data that was found helpful regarding Shezan is as follows:

Food & Personal Care-Products: SHEZAN INTERNATIONAL LIMITED


OVERVIEW (July 14 2006): One is impressed by its record highest sales and profitability. The
company's shareholders must have rejoiced but its attractive profit distribution profile which has
driven its shares market value to unprecedented heights.

There are several milestones which the company attained. It crossed for the second consecutive
year the billion rupee mark in sales value. Its launches of branded products ie Shezan Twist Fruit
Punch," Shezan All pure have shaken the competition. Shezan became pioneer in the field of
converting fruits into pulps, concentrate and juices based on local fruits and supported by the
technology of its American partners.

The market value of the share of Shezan International is being quoted at Rs 192 per share which
is more than 19 times of the par value. During the last one year market value of the share

Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

registered a robust growth following renewed promotional and marketing campaign.


During the year the company posted export sales at Rs 35.45 million as against Rs 37.73 million
in the preceding year. It is reported that exports remained under pressure due to volatile security
situation in its export markets and higher operational and shipping costs.

The company posted net profit after sales at Rs 103.24 million which is highest the in the
company's history. The leadership in the enterprise has formulated future strategy to improve
profitability by further improving sales volume and optimizing costs. Rising volume of sales will
be further spurred by continuing to provide customers with a variety of impeccable quality food
products which appeal to their changing preferences.

DATA COLLECTION
For collecting data, questionnaire was made; containing general question about the juice
preference and then asking questions related to Nestle Orange juice to know about the brand.
Two questionnaires were made to get them filled by consumers and retailers to get information
from both retailers and consumers to know about the variables affecting sales of Nestle Orange
Juice. Questionnaire has been attached in the appendix.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY
For the research under study sample size was as follows:
• 200 samples of consumers and
• 70 samples of retailer
Out of 200 samples of consumers only 178 were valid responses and others were discarded due
to their invalid responses. In the retailers only 59 were the valid responses which can be thought
as of taking a portion of the whole and studying that portion to make estimates about the whole.
Consumers selected in the sample were students of
• Lahore school of economics
• LUMS
• Punjab university
• Fast
• Hailey college of banking and Finance
Households units, health conscious people of SEC A and SEC B filled in the questionnaire.
Retailers sampled in the study were located in different locations in Lahore and from big mart to
small commercial shop. The retailers questionnaire were administered so as to have right
responses .This was due to the communication gap as most of the retailers were unable to read
English so it was to be administered.

36

Samples of consumers helped us in measuring attitude of people. Due to limited time sample size
was small but having rightly defined target market results would be representative of target
market.

Also during our study we tried to figure out that as per the distributors, what package size of
Nestle orange juice is being sold the most. From the survey results we found out that the sales of
both 200ml and 1000 ml packs were almost the same. 200ml had 30.5% sales rate while 1000ml
had a 35.6% sales rate. The difference is very small and thus we can see and conclude that both
200ml and 1000ml packs of Nestle Orange Juice are equally popular with the people and people
are in need of and buy both sizes. The demand of 1000ml is slightly more that 200ml but this
difference is very small and is almost negligible.

81
Marketing Research- Nestle Juices

CONCLUSION
As all the questionnaires were administered by us, we came across certain findings other than our
questionnaires. We recorded those findings as:
Retailers had biggest supply problem. They said that the only thing that is hindering the sales is
lack of timely supply as well as insufficient supply. They say that demand is very much higher
than the supply received. Also, they said that there is a low availability of chillers from Nestle.
Juices are preferred when they are properly chilled, especially in case of Nestle Orange Juice; its
taste is bitter so it gives the best taste when chilled. It has a ridiculous taste if hot. According to
the retailers this also is the problem adding to declining sales.

of Nestle Orange juice the resultant profit margin also starts changing and so we accept the
hypothesis.

LIMITATION
Some of the limitations that we faced during our project are as follows:
• Time constraint.

• Limited resources ( financial, manpower)

o The research could only be conducted in the city of Lahore due to limited
resources and manpower.

o Research is conducted only in educational institutes of Lahore i.e. Lahore School


of Economics and Kinnaird College.

• The sample size for retailers was very small.

RECOMMENDATION
Through the questionnaires we came to know People’s recommendations and suggestions
regarding Nestle orange juice. The Company is diversifying its product range. In the first quarter
of 2008 Nestle Juices added a new flavor to their product range. This diversification in product
range has somewhat affected the sales of Nestle Orange juice.
• A very important area for improvement is advertisement and promotional activities of
Nestle Orange Juice. During our analysis we found out that most of the respondents were
unaware about the new campaign of Nestle Orange juice named “Sunrise Campaign”.
There should be vigorous advertisement of the brand with telecasting quality TV
commercials that should cater the target audience
• Company should do celebrity endorsement, to promote the brand to increase consumption
and hence sales.
• During our survey we found that most of the sales of 200 ml packaging of Nestle Orange
juice are in schools and colleges. People complained that Nestle should increase the
content of juice from 200ml to 250 ml because most of the other brands such as Shezan
and county are available in 250 ml packing therefore Nestle should take into
consideration about increasing the juice content from 200ml to 250ml.
• Most of the people consuming Nestle Orange juice suggested that Nestle should think
about adding add pulp content in their Nestle Orange juice.
• Nestle should consider about decreasing the price of Nestle Orange juice in order to
increase sales.

CONCLUSION
After going through all the stages of marketing research process in order to know the reasons for
declining sales of Nestle Orange juice we found that most of the people were quite satisfied with
the taste of Nestle orange juice. They were still consuming Nestle Orange juice despite the bitter
taste. To some extent the consumers were satisfied with the price of Nestle orange juice because
according to them they perceive Nestle Juices to be quality and healthy juices. The analysis
showed that people also have liking towards Nestle Orange juice.
From the results of the survey we can conclude that the problem of decline in sales was not
mostly due to change in consumer perceptions towards taste or other competing brands. It might
be due to o change in internal Company polices or strategies.
