7. CONCEPT OF STP
• STP marketing is a three-step approach to building a
targeted marketing plan. "S" stands for Segmentation, "T" for
Targeting and "P" for Positioning.
•The STP process demonstrates the links between an overall
market and how a company chooses to compete in that
market. It is sometimes referred to as a process, with
segmentation being conducted first, then the selection of one
or more target markets and then finally the implementation of
positioning.
• The goal of the STP process is to guide the organization to
the development and implementation of an
appropriate marketing mix.

8. :SEGMENTATION:
• One of the best advantages of marketing Coffee is its universal
appeal. This fact has also been utilized and acknowledged by
Starbucks coffee chain.
• However, segmentation of geography can play an important
role in a traditional context wherein Coffee is extensively
consumed in the South India as opposed to the North
irrespective of the favorable weather condition.
• The segment for Bru Coffee is people looking to make coffee
instantly.

9.  Geographic Segmentation:- Urban expanses and
Metropolitan cities. (Insight – Bru is preferred and consumed
more in South India)
 Demographic Segmentation:-
• Economic Status – Middle and Upper-Middle Class
• Income Level – 2 lacs to 5 lacs p.a. (or the range that falls in
above mentioned economic status category)
• Gender – Equally consumed by both (Insight : Coffee is the
most universally preferred beverage)
• Age – 18 to 35

10. • Occupation – Ranging from independent students wanting to
prepare coffee on their own to working women who can make

Stage 6 of life cycle – Family with Adolescents
 Psychographic Segmentation: – Image projection of being
proactive, while at the same time spending some happy and
quality time with (special) people over coffee.

11.  Behavioral Segmentation:-
• Loyalty - Most coffee lovers don’t like to experiment and
switch once they’ve found their perfect flavour. Hence,
consumer loyalty for Bru is on the higher side. However,
introduction of small sachets (even new variants) by
competing brands could give rise to more frequent switch to
Nescafe’
• Scale of Purchase – Availability of BRU in smaller sachets
has decreased the scale of purchase. Unless a heavy and
regular drinker, purchase are made in sachet forms than glass
jars (Light purchase)
• Frequency – Bru instant coffee is purchased frequently to
satisfy the compulsion of consumption amongst coffee lover.

12. •More interestingly, with the introduction of Bru Exotica, it has
further entered the market of premium range of coffee.
•This premium range is for well-travelled Indian who appreciate
International flavours.
