...subsidiary of Hallmark, Inc. Corporate History Crayola Manufacturing is a 120 year old company that makes safe, dependable art supplies for children. Because most consumers have never heard of Binney & Smith, the Crayola maker changed its name in 2007 to reflect its brand name. Crayola has many different lines of products; as well as services, which vary from just crayons and markers. They produce 3 billion crayons a year, plus craft and character licensed activities. This SWOT analysis is about Crayola. Crayola began as Binney & Smith back in 1885 when Joseph Binney partnered with his son and nephew. Binney and Smith sold their first Crayola crayons in 1903, when a box of eight cost only a nickel. The small business began in New York and moved to Easton, Pennsylvania (where they remain today), producing the dustless chalk. In 1958 the Crayola 64-crayon box, which included 16 new colors and a built-in sharpener, made its debut on the "Captain Kangaroo Show." This Crayola box "became part of the collective history and experiences of generations of Americans, and a symbol of the color and fun of childhood." Crayola estimates that the average U.S. child wears down 730 crayons by age ten. And, in the same spirit, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History placed an actual 1958 Crayola 64-crayon box and an assortment of 20th century Crayola advertising in the permanent collection of the Division of Cultural History. The company's products are packaged...

...manufacturing system, rather than its marketing strategies per se, to show how the whole organization is focused on serving customer wants and needs, not just the marketing department. Suggestions for Discussion Questions 1. In what ways is Toyota's new-product development system designed to serve customers? There are a number of features to this system that make it customer oriented. The Toyota system responds more quickly than competitors, allowing the company to correct any mistakes and react to market trends faster than competitors. The system has a chief engineer responsible for the product from design to marketing. This may allow consumer research to function as a direct input into engineering specifications rather than become a secondary concern after the product is designed. Since the corporate philosophy is to serve customers, consumer inputs are more likely to be used develop better new products. 2. In what ways is Toyota's manufacturing system designed to serve customers? There are a number of features in Toyota's manufacturing systems that are designed to serve customers, including the following features. Employees, even on the assembly line, are trained to consider their output as a product that should satisfy the next employee (the "customer") who receives it. If everyone in the company is satisfied with the quality of the work received from others, it is more likely that the ultimate consumer will be satisfied with the final product.

...commitment to serve diverse communities with products and services that reflect the latest trends in innovation and the highest quality at reasonable prices to match consumer expectations and needs. We have established a culture founded on individual accountability that expects employees at all levels us to communicate openly and transparently; any strategic, operational, or financial challenges we face are viewed through a comprehensive moral and ethical lens. Every employee is responsible for escalating issues that pose risk or harm to the organization. We candidly discuss business risk by making all relevant facts available to various constituencies, which in turn offers diversity of opinion so that we may consider many possible solutions. Transparency and openness also bolster our credibility with our external stakeholders (Abdullah, 2014), so preserving our values in the face of adverse circumstances is of the utmost importance. Product introduction delays are once such circumstance that introduces a number of negative consequences we must approach with integrity. Delays can reduce the window of revenue-generation opportunity and can cause our products to become obsolete faster (Singhal & Hendricks, 2008); as a result, we have to analyze the financial position of our product in the Malaysian market; calculate the cost of delay (including product lifecycle); and adjust initiatives throughout R&D, Labor, Sales, Marketing, and Manufacturing without jeopardizing our values...

...New Mars Chocolate Factory in Kansas Earlier in July, Mars Incorporated announced plans of building a brand new “state-of-the-art”, 350,000 square feet chocolate manufacturing facility in Topeka, Kansas - the first Mars Chocolate site built in the U.S. in thirty-five years. The new facility, which Mars expects will be completed by late 2013, is expected to create over 1,000 jobs for Kansas residents, according to the company’s estimates. MARS - the world's leading petcare company The facility, which is likely to cost Mars up to US$250 million to build, is “a reflection of our commitment to manufacture our products in the markets where we sell them,” said Mike Wittman, Vice-President of Supply at Mars Chocolate North America. The company’s decision to start up this new facility in the United States, after 35 long years, resulted from the declining US dollar exchange rate coupled with Mars’ desire to ship its products at a faster pace. The new development has been welcomed by the Topeka community, with Steve Jenkins, Vice President of Go Topeka, a subsidiary of the Topeka Chamber of Commerce, saying that “The positive economic impact for the community will endure for decades… Mars will join a long list of other stellar primary employers in our community creating exceptional economic opportunities for our residents.” The Journey for MARS In 1911, Frank C. Mars made the first Mars candies in his Tacoma, Washington kitchen and established Mars’...

...Breeder’s Own Pet Foods, Inc. Case Analysis Etienne Meprise Bellevue University MBA652: Marketing Strategy Dr. Doug Brown 12/3/2013 Breeder’s Own Pet Foods, Inc. Case Analysis Case Recap Breeder’s Own Pet Foods, Inc. sees a growth opportunity in the retail dog food market for its nutritionally balanced, high quality dog food brand Breeder’s Mix, which has been traditionally sold to the show dog kennel market. The dog food consists of 85% fresh meat and 15% high quality fortified cereal with no additives or preservatives (Kerin and Peterson, 2013). One of the challenges for Breeder’s Own is breaking into an already saturated market. However, based on recent interest from dog food owners in organic, all natural, preservative free dog foods, Breeder’s Own can capitalize on this market share with their product, Breeder’s Mix. Initially, Breeder’s Mix would be marketed in the Boston, Massachusetts’s area since this area is representative of national averages for pet ownership and expenditures for pet products. Breeder Mix would be distributed to supermarkets since 36% of all dog foods sales come from supermarkets (Kerin and Peterson, 2013). Problem Identification Traditionally, dog food is produced as dry, canned, or treats. Breeder’s Mix is a nutritionally balanced frozen dog food. Since the food must be located in the frozen section of supermarkets, one marketing strategy will be to educate dog owners to shop for dog food in a non-traditional location...
