...differentiation value includes Coracle’s increase in chemical savings. Coracle reduces the need for additional chlorine, shock treatments and enzymes, thus reducing pool owners’ annual chemical cost by 20% to 30% (average of 25%). ClearBlu reduces annual chemical cost by 15%, thus the increase in savings by Coracle is 10% (25%- 15%). The annual chemical cost (excluding clarifiers) is $300. Calculation of Coracle’s annual EVC: $56.25+ 0.1x $300= $86.25. Coracle, being a new brand should first adopt a push strategy since there is low brand loyalty and low brand awareness. This will generate exposure and encourage distributors to stock up on Coracle. Only 25% of consumers understand and use clarifiers regularly. This shows that there is low involvement in purchasing decision and perhaps an impulse item as a residential clarifier. And thus a push strategy is a good way to promote the product. However, since product benefits are not well understood by consumers, Soren can also adopt a pull strategy in communicating the actual...

...Reliance Baking Soda Case Questions Please provide written answers to the following questions. Limit your answers to a maximum of two pages, plus exhibits. 1. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the RBS brand? With a 70% share in the baking soda category, RBS is clearly the market leader and due to the relatively high degree of versatility it is also widely recognized in several other categories as a key player in the market. The brand also boasted high levels of brand recognition and also unaided brand awareness. By being in the baking soda category and more or less defining the category as a whole, it has created a reasonable level of acceptance of the multiple uses for the product and in turn the brand as well. As for distribution, the brand has demonstrated extremely high levels of penetration among the various retail outlets in grocery stores, mass merchandise stores, and drug stores. As for the weaknesses, the primary limitation of the brand is the lack of awareness of the multiple cleaning purposes of the product. The brand and the product are both widely considered to be rather boring and unappealing, and to make matters worse the product has not undergone any changes in the past century. The category and in turn the brand are experiencing increasing selling prices, low traffic and low turnover. Lastly, there is an extremely low recollection among consumers when it comes to the advertising of the brand irrespective of the medium. 2. Analyze the...

...Push Strategy: Push strategy is where companies forecast demand before ordering based on the willing buyers and also the goods doesn’t runout unexpectedly. For example winter jackets are required by retailers during the end of summer or during start of fall and winter. Companies can predict in their supply chain as they know what will be needed long before their demand actually arrives. So the main disadvantage in Push system is it’s purely based on forecast which is a guess. For example Billions are spent in US on computers and software’s but most of the time demand and forecast differed. So if forecast goes wrong there will be excess of investments and profits will decrease. Sometimes we may runout of inventory and lose customer loyalty. Pull Strategy: Pull strategy is the one which is based on demand data. This is based on the actual consumption at stores and also forecast rather than predicting sales. For example Custom computers are build by direct computer seller only when the order is received from consumer. Cloud technologies these days are providing daily consumer demand for generating forecast. Based on this strategy, a company can manufacture goods based on daily demand and reduce production of goods which are moving slowly so that inventory maintenance cost is reduced for goods which are not in demand. The disadvantage of this strategy is that sometimes we may runout of inventory if demand increases and if we are unable to increase production. Aggregate Forecast: ...

...If you have to do less reps or sets build up slowly over weeks thats fine. This will prevent injury that may keep you from working out. Keep in mind you will be sore at times,so be ready for it. Don't forget to hydrate before, and after workouts. You want to make sure each time you lift that you concentrate on one muscle group per day and then give that group a day off. Because you build muscle when resting not lifting. On off days you can concentrate more on cardio or a different muscle group than the day before. A good weight training schedule would be a 5 day workout routine. Lift weights on days one three and, five. Then you can do short 30 minutes or less, but intense cardio on days two and five. On days six and seven you should rest and let your body muscle rebuild and heal before your next week. Once you realize that you are getting used to the weight you are lifting, you can increase it in small steps. This will help your muscles and general body appearance improve gradually without stopping you by trying to lift too much at...
