Kingsford Case

...cleanness, convenience, short cooking time, and high control over cooking temperature. * Kingsford failed to fully exploit the opportunity to distinguish itself from gas grilling. It has significantly cut down the advertising budget since 1988 while relying heavily on sales efforts. * Unlike Kingsford, which kept its price almost constant over the years, other competitors in the charcoal industry such as Royal Oak and private label brands have increased their prices and cut back on promotion funding at retailers which results in a decline in the overall category growth due to the shift of new customers getting into grilling who negatively responded to the charcoal price increase. * Unlike previously mentioned factors that can be controlled, weather patterns during the year 2000 showed a significant decrease in temperatures and frequent rainfalls from October to December therefore results in a fewer grilling activities. SWOT Analysis In order to effectively formulate a marketing strategy to achieve Kingsford business goals and overcome current challenges, a clear analysis of the strengths and weaknesses while pointing out the opportunities and threats will be illustrated first then...

Kingsford

...Kingsford: To Grill or Not to Grill? That’s not even a question. While certainly not politically correct by modern standards, this photo-illustration reflects the pervasive presence grilling has held in the United States since the 1950s when the Weber Kettle Grill and increasing suburbanization made it a defacto standard of American living. Then again, our modern American stereotype would have a man holding tongs in one hand and a beer in another standing at the grill, which is also not only incorrect, but not fully reflective of modern grilling. But yes, that is a real Kingsford bag. (Photo Illustration by Sandy Kreps) Team 3 Marketing Case Analysis Executive Summary The Kingsford brand of charcoal has found success through favorable conditions in its market traditionally, however conditions are now less favorable. A reduction in the charcoal market is affecting Kingsford even though its charcoal market share has increased. The consumer shifting trend from charcoal to gas grilling is now the primary threat to Kingsford and the charcoal market, and to combat this an action plan includes tight control on pricing, new pro-charcoal advertizing campaigns, and increased partnership with retailers and distributes. Conditions appear favorable for resurgence for Kingsford through these strategies. Introduction Clorox is a well known and historic house-hold brand, known primarily for home cleaning products. Founded in 1913, the company initially serviced the business...

Challenges to Multinational Corporations in China

...of commercial negotiations. Although there are an accelerative number of Chinese people highly proficient in English, it is uncommon to find someone who understands the subtleties of the language to navigate delicate business negotiations. For example, Heads of ETIG used to make a trip to China, but had several productive meetings and returned home with strong business prospects. According to Murphy, a former technical analyst for CNBC in an article titled “Intermarket Analysis”, communication between the foreign and Chinese companies goes smoothly at first, yet things start to break down as business issues get more complex (Murphy, 2004). It appears that what started as a promising prospect for both sides often breaks down due to miscommunication. In addition, western companies in China rate human resources as the massive challenge of doing business here. Chinese workers are accustomed to a more hierarchical structure in which each person has a clearly defined role. One of the best examples of this is Royal Dutch Shell, which is quite concerned about its human resources management and attributes its success to adjusting and accommodating organization structures in China. According to Shell website, the differences of human resources can often lead to tensions...

Kingsford Analysis

...Assumma June 11, 2015 Kingsford Charcoal Case Study Analysis Executive Summary In this case study, we will be analyzing the current position of how well Kingsford is within the marketplace and determine which of the issues are plausible causes in its drop in revenue. We will be creating a comprehensive strategy as well as a marketing plan to evaluate and adjust the matter at hand. First we will begin with identifying the issues and implementing a method to reemphasize the importance of marketing in the business. The goal is to create a marketing plan that will add value to Kingsford’s market share, sales, and profitability. It is evident that Kingsford is a superior product to its competitors such as Royal Oak, but the company faces losing market share to gas grilling because it is a more convenient alternative to cooking. Since Kingsford has already been an established brand, it can effectively market its brand awareness with an increase in media advertising which is a probable reason why the company did not reach its highest potential. The company needs to correspond to the increasing use of outdoor grilling in the USA which is now a great opportunity for the company to start a marketing strategy and establishing a greater brand recognition. The biggest challenge will be how well the company can gear people’s interest towards charcoal grilling away from gas grilling yet at the same time capture more market share from Royal Oak as well. Throughout this report we will go over...

Kingsford Charcoal Marketing Analysis

...Kingsford Charcoal Unit 4 12/1/2010 1. Given your analysis of the Kingsford case, what are (or reasonably could be) the key drivers impacting the observed trend towards declining growth rates in recent years? How would you prioritize these issues? Make sure that you include your rationale in your answer? There are many reasons that are leading to a decline in growth rate of the entire charcoal category in the years leading up to 2000 and 2001. The biggest reason and the toughest for Kingsford to combat is the gas grill. The perception of gas grilling as easier, faster, and almost the same taste as charcoal grilling has hampered the charcoal category. With the emphasis on “green” living and environmental consciousness, charcoal and charcoal production and its negative effect on the environment, is another reason people are turning to gas grilling. Gas grill shipments grew 8 percent in 2000, while charcoal grill shipments dropped 3 percent over the same time period. Gas grill shipments have increased each year from 1997 through 2000. Charcoal grills only increased one of those years. It is very unlikely Kingsford can reverse this trend. They must strive to slow gas grill usage and remind the grilling public about the advantages of charcoal grilling; better taste, it is a true grilling experience, and the fact that certain charcoal products like Matchlight, are almost as quick as gas grilling. Kingsford has a unique advantage in the entire grilling population;...

Grolsch Case Study

...Grolsch Analysis In November of 2007, SAB Miller purchased Royal Grolsch N.V. to develop their premium beer product line. Grolsch has two main brand families: Grolsch premium Lager and Amsterdam. The takeover gives SAB Miller the ability to attack the premium beer market with an established and standardized brand that has grown globally (21st largest global brand in 2007) with a differentiated taste and packaging strategy. In this analysis, I will evaluate the reasons for Grolsch’s global expansion, their ability to adapt their pricing, distribution, advertising, and distribution to global demand and their strategy to evaluate the potential of entering new markets with MABA (Market Attractiveness, Business Assessment framework). I will also suggest a strategy moving forward under SAB Miller’s command. Reasons for Global Expansion One reason Grolsch went global was to reduce the company's reliance on local and national markets. In the 1960s-70s, the domestic market in the Netherlands began to shrink as Heineken and Amstel merged and took ownership of 50% of the Dutch market and 70% of exports. In addition, according to Exhibit 13, total consumption in the Netherlands decreased from 2000 (13.23 Million Hls) to 2005 (12.75 million Hls). In 2007, Grolsch’s home market of the Netherlands accounted for only half of its total volume and 65% of its revenue. Grolsch only owned 13% of the volume in the Netherlands alongside Bavaria (17%), Heineken/Amstel (46%), and Interbrew (14%)...
