Vistas 2013 Group 36 Screen Burn Production New Product Concept Description: Since time immemorial, Tupperware has been known in the kitchen world over for the sturdiness of its products. We are now trying to get Tupperware into corporate market that is into B2B business. We are introducing Tupperware new range of products that will serve as a packaging solutions for the delivery of fragile items like television. The products provided by Tupperware are airtight and strong, it gives them this selling point. We are now introducing Tupperware products as “Upper care - customizable packaging solutions”. Since this is a B2B venture, we will be supplying fragile products‟ manufacturers with customizable huge packaging boxes that will help in the packaging of televisions and other electronic goods that are prone to breakage, to ensure their safety at the time of their delivery. We are also introducing another section within our Upper care concept, “The big basket Container “ - They are huge Tupperware customizable containers which will serve as a solution to the biggest grocery outlets to be able to store their perishable fruits and vegetables for a longer period of time. These grocery outlets need these containers because it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to sell all of their perishable merchandise before it gets spoiled. Recyclable chain is the key factor of this concept– This product will be sold to manufacturers, who use it to package their goods and send them to the wholesalers who, in turn, send the packaged goods to the retailers. The retailers deliver the goods to the customer, and send these packaging boxes back to the wholesalers, who send it back to the manufacturers. Additionally, if the wholesalers have any changes in your product, we will be more than happy to rescale the boxes to the appropriate size. For the customers who are planning to shift these fragile products from one place to another and needs boxes to carry them, for them we have introduced our service wherein they can rent out these boxes at a minimal cost from our packaging service outlets. The size and requirement are to be mentioned 2 weeks prior the day of requirement.

Need for this product

Electronics goods manufacturers have huge problems when their products break or are damaged in some way during delivery. This is more likely to happen with cardboard boxes than while using our product. They will also have to bear the loss of a broken television or refrigerator. The cost of packaging must be considered as a loss as well, because it failed to perform its primary function. Recalling television sets that cost even 20,000-30,000 rupees will result in an enormous loss. For manufacturers who decide to buy our product, this would be a one-time cost. They will invest in the minimum number of boxes that they would need at any given time, and will be able to reuse these boxes for other, similar sized products of theirs. This is unlike cardboard boxes, of which a new one is needed to be bought for every single product.

Vistas 2013 Group 36 Screen Burn Production Place We have designed two new distribution channels: for the existing products of Tupperware and for this new product. For this new product we have a B2B distribution channel wherein we have our manufacturers to sales team and then to different business firms.

New distribution channels for existing products 1. We will have tie-ups with major retail groups like Future Groups, Reliance Mart, Tata Mart and D-Mart. The commission that was originally given to each woman will be distributed among these companies. This is to make sure that the distributors are not solely female. 2. Along similar lines, in metro cities, we find out about the major distributors, and give them the commission that the women were originally getting. 3. Since we are not focusing only on metro cities, in every state we will select two major cities, find the major distributors, and provide Tupperware products through them. 4. We are also looking to capture female markets (e.g. Chikpet in Bangalore) and open Tupperware outlets in these areas. In these cases we will use female employees, but only those who are willing to work for a minimum of eight hours a day.

Price

Promotion: Tupperware products in India have always been highlighted loudly and regularly in public to ensure that the top-of-mind-recall phenomena makes it a strong buying proposition for the buyers. Be it through Tupperware parties (which its representatives organise for potential representatives and buyers), co-branding through in-film placements or the very detailed print ads during festive seasons, the brand is always positioned as a supreme quality offering, customised for Indian conditions. It has worked to its advantage so far. Conventional Strategies: 1.Newspaper ments 2.Magazines 3.Pamphlets 4.Banners and Standees

Unconventional: - Our Marketing Strategies STAGE ONE: Curiosity

This stage aims at raising curiosity among the people and leaves them waiting for the new Tupperware products. 1. Curiosity and Teaser ads – This strategy includes the putting up billboards on wheel in public places with a picture of a Tupperware product on it. The Tupperware product will have a huge question mark on it, indicating that this product is something that has never been seen before. Below this picture a couple of statements will be written: Not Just for Housewives. Coming Soon.

STAGE TWO: Introducing both aspects of the product this stage consists of showcasing the new products that we are introducing. 1. Fall Out Boxes – This concept will be exhibited in public places where we get permission to organize such a thing. The exhibition area will be about the size of a small room. A big Tupperware box and some cardboard boxes will be taken. After placing a glass in a cardboard box, it will be dropped from an altitude of about ten feet. The same will be done with the Tupperware box. What will happen is that the glass in the cardboard box will break, and the one in the Tupperware box will not. This shows the strength of our products. 2. Don’t Worry Concept – A person is carrying a huge carton and walking down a fairly busy road. He falls and there is the sound of something breaking. When people come over and look into the carton to see what it was that broke, they find a Tupperware box with a note attached to the top. The note says: „Don‟t worry. We use Tupperware.‟

3. Shock ment – In public areas, a few people will move around holding broken television sets. The television sets need not be real ones, they must merely look like broken sets. These people will walk around asking the spectators why their television broke. Five to ten minutes later, once people begin to wonder what is going on, a movable board will by. At the top it will read „Tupperware‟ and will continue to display an ad copy. This copy will include a description of how Tupperware has come up with a solution to making sure television sets do not get broken during transportation. It will also include our USP: Upper Care – Delivering healthy to render your product‟s value.

4. Compare check at stores – In grocery stores, two boxes with similar food items will be placed in a prominent position. One of these boxes will be a normal storage box while the other will be a Tupperware box. Below both the boxes, a digital clock will be counting up the seconds, minutes, hours and even days. People who by will see that even though the food in the normal box begins to spoil, the food in the Tupperware box remains as fresh as ever. 5. Cake Walk – During our special occasions and festivals, as well as during our product launch, we will have a huge cake, made by Masterchef India Chefs, placed in one of our products. We move this cake from place to place as we take it to the different exhibitions that will be going on on festival days.

6.

Break it Up – Our product will be placed in public areas where people are free to attempt to

break it. Whoever manages this impossible feat will be given a prize in the form of a gift voucher from Tupperware.

7.

A Bucket Full of Wishes – One of our products, shaped in the form of a bucket, will be

moved from place to place. These places will include universities, business areas and residential areas. People, who may be male or female, will be given a chance to put their wishes into the bucket. These wishes, however, will only be oriented towards woman empowerment. This strategy will help to gather media attraction. Some of these wishes will be read out, and the others will be put up on our website.

8.

Unbreakable concept – This concept consists of putting a showpiece in one of our

products. This product, which snugly fits around the showpiece, will be placed in a car. This car will be driven around, with all the bumps that any road journey would have. Once we take the product out, we see that nothing has happened to the showpiece inside.

SWOT ANALYSIS Strength Well established, well reputed – Tupperware has been around since 1948, and is a common household name. Just the thought of a container will bring a Tupperware product to many people‟s mind. Unbreakable, Air tight Waterproof and Scratch free- Each and every Tupperware product is designed differently, in a very artistic way. These products are designed with features like scratch free, airtight, unbreakable and water proof. World Standards – All Tupperware products are made from safe, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic materials. Storing eatables or drinkables in them will not lead to any harmful chemicals being released in the contents. Top Quality and Finishing – All products have ed stringent tests and are built to last. Their design and smooth finishing make them a delight to use on any occasion. Environment Friendly – Products from Tupperware are designed for long term use. This helps in reducing the pollution and degradation of the earth. Safety Assurance and Warranty – All Tupperware products are guaranteed against chipping, cracking or peeling under normal commercial use for the lifetime of the product. If any product shows a defect, the customer is more than welcome to get in touch with us for a free replacement. Innovative Packaging – Tupperware is the first company to have come up with this new form of packaging that allows the safe distribution of televisions and other fragile electronic goods. Weaknesses: Low Level of Differentiation – There is hardly any differentiation between products in the Housewares and Specialties Markets.

Page 12

Vistas 2013 Group 36 Screen Burn Production Low Level of Penetration – Even though Tupperware supplies to almost one hundred countries, there is a low level of penetration in emerging markets outside of North America and Europe. Declining Brand Identity – Despite Tupperware‟s high level of recognition, there is, unfortunately a declining brand identity.

Opportunities: Future Prospects – We are introducing a new product, the likes of which has never been seen before. This has the potential to change the entire packaging industry in India. The Face of the Industry – If manufacturers are satisfied with our products, Tupperware mght even become the face of the packaging industry. Not Just Safe, Safe and Strong – Tupperware has always been associated with quality and safety. Now we bring that quality to a whole new level. Instead of being just safe, our products are going to be safe and strong.

Threat: Resistance to Change – Some people and companies have a traditional mindset and would not like to change the way their products and packaged and shipped. Also, some customers like to keep their cardboard boxes with them instead of getting rid of them. Apprehension Towards Technology Adaption – Since this type of packaging is something new in the market, manufacturers might, at first, be apprehensive ing this product. Some other manufacturers do not give that much importance to their packaging, and this will lead to them not wanting to try the product out at all.
