DAWN FORTIFIED BREAD AS CASH
COW:Dawn bread marks its fortified bread as cash cow in BCG MATRIX.
They have 35 competitors in bread market and currently in spite of 35 competitors in market their market
share is 35%. They have a huge share in bread industry. If we take the example of Pepsi in beverage
industry, they have a huge market share but if we ask the general public what is your favorite drink 50%
would have said Pepsi but other 50% have some other choices as their drinks.
But in case of Dawn bread major population would just say Dawn bread.
As far has market growth rate is concerned, bread industry does not have a high growth rate. And even if
there is some growth so it is not that investment oriented.

ANSOFF’S PRODUCT/MARKET EXPANSION
GRID:
They see their dawn fortified bread as the
product development strategy because they
haven’t changed their market segmentation
before launching dawn fortified bread.They
changed their product to fortified bread.

MARKETING MIX FOR DAWN FORTIFIED
BREAD
 PRODUCT:
As define in Slides # 16 to 21
The consumer price of medium size dawn bread is Rs.28, whereas the consumer price
of the large dawn bread is Rs.50. Dawn Bread does come in small size, which is for
Rs.10 but it is only distributed and sold in limited geographical areas, where there is
demand for a small size.
 PRICE:

 PLACE:
Place is the third most important element of the marketing mix. Dawn bread has put extensive efforts in
making the decisions regarding the channel, distribution, location, inventory, transportation and logistics
of their product.
Channel is a layer of intermediaries that perform some work in bringing the product and its ownership
closer to the final buyer. Dawn bread has used the channel from the producer to the retailer and then to
the final consumer, that is, dawn bread being the consumer sells the product to the retailers who in
return sell the product to the final buyer.

When it comes to distribution, dawn bread has focused its placing efforts in intensive distribution, which involves
setting the product in as many outlets as possible. Dawn has made sure that its bread it easily available at all retail
shops, supermarkets, grocery stores, milk shops etc. They have adopted intensive distribution because bread is
convenience product that is bought frequently and used in daily routine in break fast and for other purposes.
Therefore, it is essential for dawn bread to supply fresh bread to all its retail outlets on a daily basis so that
consumers are not disappointed and to stop consumers from buying any other bread brand incase dawn bread is not
available.

In inventory management, dawn bread does not have to face problems of managing too much or too little stock. Since, bread
is a product that is perishable so it has to be produced and supplied fresh on a daily routine. It puts an end to the question of
keeping stock because stocking bread would make it stale and the quality will fall as well as the reputation and brand name of
dawn bread.
Then, comes the transportation decision, which is also of extreme importance as it affects the pricing of products, delivery
performance, and condition of the goods when they arrive at the destination. These factors have to be dealt with very carefully
because they can seriously affect the customer satisfaction of dawn bread and dawn bread cannot afford to lose its market share at
the hands of other competitors. Therefore, dawn makes sure that all of bakery items, that is, dawn fortified bread, dawn frozen
parathas, dawn nans, dawn cupcakes, dawn rusks and dawn milk bread all are supplied to the retailers in trucks and carriers that
have cooling and refrigeration systems which protect the perishable quality of dawn products.

 PROMOTION:
Promotion mix is the specific mix of advertising, personal selling, direct marketing, public relations and
sales promotion.
For advertising, dawn bread uses remainder advertisements in order to remind its consumers about its
existence that it is still available in the market. Persuasive and informative advertising would not be
appropriate for dawn bread.
The message execution style that dawn bread uses usually uses is lifestyle because in its advertisement
it shows how dawn bread fits in the breakfast and family lifestyle as the advert shows breakfast lifestyle
of a happy family.
