ABSTRACT
By N it in mishra The project is to study the Scope of Specialty Bread in Delhi & NCR region. The Project work includes Primary & Secondary research to analyze the Retailers & Consumers perception about the specialty bread. Since its a premium product and average population of India lists below the poverty line .So STP analysis is also done. Me Kinsey & Company report on Indian consumers .-2007 states that if India continues on its current high growth path ,ln coming two decades the Indian market would come across a major transformation .Income level will almost triple and India will climb from its current position as the 12th largest consumer market to Become world's 5th largest consumer market till 2025 . This shows that there is a huge potential in India for every

single product.. In todays world, most of the positioning of the product is done through electronic media. As the product is belong to niche market, proper advertisement plays a crucial role. Thus some innovative ways of advertisement are also suggested. This project also focuses on few promotional strategies that can be used in B2B market as well as B2C market in the form of retail stores. To study consumer perception a survey is conducted in the form of questionnaire in different malls, restaurants and retail stores at different locations. Keeping the latest trends in mind, following recommendations are given to the company Specialty Bread is a premium Product so Britannia should concentrate more

on business and executive class. Since Britannia is come up with very limited variants. To tap the 7 lakh estimated target market in Delhi they have to adopt aggressive approach. They should increase no. of variants

of Indian Flavours. Distribution channel should also be different. Retailers should provide more margin so that they could provide more shelf space to Product .This will surely increase the sales of product. In the retail business, Shopkeepers are most important as they are the ones who inform the end consumers. Thus company should be very focused on this aspect. BIL, since its inception had been mainly involved in the manufacture of biscuits, which contributed around 85% of its revenues (1997). The biggest problem then, for the 80-year-old BIL was that its name was strongly associated by customers with biscuits (or more broadly bakery products). With the de-reservation of biscuits from the small sector and commoditization of the Rs 3500 crore biscuit market, coupled with cutthroat competition after the entry of multinationals and stagnating net profits, BIL looked fora fresher approach to survive and prosper BIL realized that it would have to scale up its marketing strategy in its main line of business

and in addition tap new food categories to grow. One reason why BIL seemed to have woken late was that the company didn't have a proper parent until the French food and beverages major, Danone, acquired RJR Nabisco ? s holding in the company BIL seemed to have realized that the time had come to change the rules of the game. It crafted a makeover plan to diversify into new but related areas, and at the same time consolidate and improve its core business, biscuits. By doing so BIL hoped to remain the market leader in biscuits and become a major player in related businesses also The objective of the project is summoned as follows:Study the Scope of Specialty breads in Delhi and NCR Region. Since the product is premium and average population of India lives below the poverty line so STP analysis plays a crucial role in the project. This project helps company to understand the retailers & consumers perception about the Product. For this a detailed survey was conducted.

INTRODUCTION BAKERY l.NPL STRY

Bakery industry in India is the largest of the food industries with an annual turnover of about Rs. 3000 crores. Bread and Biscuits form the major baked foods accounting for over 80% of total bakery products produced in the country.. Bakery products once considered as sick mans diet have now become essential food items of the vast majority of population. Though bakery industry in India has been in existence since long, real fillip came only in the later part of 20th century. The contributing factors were urbanization, resulting in increased demand for ready to eat products at reasonable costs etc. With the quick food culture catching up, demand for bakery products has increased tremendously. The bakery industry or for that matter all the businesses catering to bakery are witnessing a sort of revolution tremendously. In an age where malls, hypermarkets and supermarkets have become the customer's preferred destination, the concept of chain bakeries has come into its own. The bakery industry has become more organized in the rcccnt past. It is following the path of restaurants - as the industry has become more organized, chain restaurants have taken over the market and standalone restaurants have found it tough to survive on its own.

INDIAN BREAD HISTORY

The Bread industry is low - tech and low margin industry. In 1977, the

Government of India had reserved bread industry for small scale industries (SSI). The then existing two large units viz., Britannia Industries Limited and Modern Food Industries Ltd. were however allowed to continue on the basis of their respective existing installed capacity. 35 % of the total production comes from the small scale sector with about

1 500-1800 units in operation. The organized sector accounts for 20 % of the total production. The balance production comes from the unorganized traditional bakery units operating under cottage/tiny sector numbering approximately 65000 units in the country. BIL & MFIL are having a market share of 10-12 % and 7-8 % respectively. Apail from big players like BIL & MFIL regional players such as Spencers in South India, Vibbs in Maharashtra, Harvest Gold and Perfect in Delhi, etc. Bread being consumed by wide cross - section of the society, the marketing of bread is based on strong retail distribution networks, which service the customers.

As bread industry is a low margin business, cost control is crucial in sustaining profitability in the long run. The total market size of bread industry is approximately 15 billion standard loaves (SL) or 1.5 million tonnes. The current growth is around 5 - 6 percent p.a. and is cxpcctcd to remain in the same level in the medium term.

EMERGENCE OF HEALTHY PRODUCT

Along with an increase in demand lor the bakery products, the awareness about health is also on the rise. Bakeries are making sure that they come out with healthier products. "The awareness of the virtues of products like whole grain, health breads, cholesterol-free products and such other health products is growing in our country. An increasing demand and health awareness results the demand for products like Specialty Breads.

MARKETING S TRATEGY MARKET TREND:In modern days bread is now becoming one of the most essential food items in human diet due to its ready-made availability and high nutritive value. It is the most consumable wheat based bakery product. Wheat flour, yeast, sugar, salt, water and shortening agent are required as raw materials to manufacture bread. The plant and machinery and the technology required to manufacturing the bread, are completely available in India. Since

the consumption of bread is increasing rapidly day by day, the demand also is increasing enormously.

As Daily Bread is subsidiary Of BIL and was in business of Specialty Breads for more than 5 years, a detailed study was done. On the basis of the study few recommendations were given to BIL as BIL launched Specialty breads just 3 months back.

Daily bread was founded in May 2003 as the countrys first purveyor of world class breads, confectionary and specialty food products for wholesale and retail clients. It started its commercial production in October 2003 in Bangalore and currently supplies bakery products to a wide spectrum of institutional clients and operates. Daily Bread has a chef training and recipe transfer agreement with the leading wholesale European bakery & food emporium in Hong Kong, which will provide it a competitive advantage. It intends to open 10 wholesale bakery production units and 200 retail bakery, etc outlets in top 10 metros in India over next 3 years.

Britannia Industries Ltd (BIL) has acquired a strategic stake in Daily Bread, a Bangalorebased boutique manufacturer and retailer of high-end bakery products, which includes a variety of European breads, pastries and savouries with its intent to diversify its product portfolio into the fast-growing, high-end, branded freshlv- baked gourmet foods, and marked its entry into the premium out of home' and in home consumption COM PAN V O BJ EC IIV ES

Daily Bread will be the first bakery vendor in India to provide institutional clients such as coffee chains, fast food chains, multiplex chains and hotel chains, etc. with a reliable and consistently high quality and wide selection of bakery products across all the major metros There is currently no pan India bakery brand. By opening wholesale bakeries in the top 10 metros, Daily Bread will be Indias first national bakery brand, synonymous with European quality bakery products, produced in state-of-the-art, hygienic & HACCP compliant production facilities Daily Bread will deliver superior value to urban Indian consumers by making available bakery and confectionary products of international selection, standards and packaging at a competitive cost for the first time in India The need for setting up production units in each major metro is driven by high transportation costs, the lack of an effective cold chain, the perishable nature of bakery products, the variance in regional tastes and the need to be close to the market

COMPANY SEGMENTATION AND POSITIONING Daily Bread will enjoy a first mover advantage in a highly fragmented niche market in India and will focus on a specific market segment to address unmet client needs: i.e. providing selection, consistency, reliability, quality, transparency, hygiene, and one point of contact for bakery product purchases to institutional clients across the major metros. Daily Bread will enjoy a competitive advantage and deliver superior value to clients due to the wide range, high quality and attractive packaging of its product range, which is unrivalled in India. The wholesale bakery sector remains one of the last sectors in India which continues to be isolated from international competition and standards and which continues to manufacture a poor and inconsistent quality and very limited choice of products. Daily Bread's business model offers significant growth potential driven by- strong macro drivers: rapid urban population growth, increasing affluence, changing food consumption patterns and lifestyle trends in urban areas and rapid expansion and improvement of standards in organized retailing in India .Daily Breads envisaged business model

incorporates multiple revenue streams from a complete suite of fresh & frozen bakery, confectionary & specialty food products catering to a diverse wholesale & retail client base. Based in our case (DAILY BREAD) focusing on the same target group of high

premium class some of the popular categories under which they can successfully positioned their products areas follows-

ZONE WISE ANALYSIS-

On the basis of the SKUs wise facts and figures obtained I have tried to prepare a SKUs wise list for the previous month dividing the sales made and the returns obtained by the various distributors catering to the three zones of BREAD CITYI.A.H TRADERSSouth North Delhi Delhi

CAURAV ENTERPRISES- East Delhi The report show the sales made, Returns during that 5 week period and returns percentage to determine the various SKUs performance showing how the tastes and preferences of people within the same state but residing in different zones vary greatly. India being a highly enriched country, with people of all ethics and culture being an integral part of its rich heritage. The same change in tastes and pattern is reflected in Delhi and NCR, its capital where people of all cultures and class try to survive to make their liv ing. The first part of report shows how the figures highlighted are SKUs that are performing well

in the North, as their return % is equal to less than 8%, which is considered as an acceptable figure by the company. The second part shows the SKUs performing well in South as being highlighted The third part shows the SKUs performing well in East as being highlighted. The Report reveals how the taste and pattern vary differently as most of the SKUs are performing well in South as it has some of the key potential markets and people have the willingness to spend. Similarly, Fruity Fit high priced bread has one of the highest returns in West because of lack of high disposable income at the hands of the consumer residing there. Likewise in the Northern part new variants like English premium Bread and Cheese and Garlic Bread are performing well thereby showing those consumers are slowly developing a liking for new varieties.

ANALYSIS OF SALES REPORT

.One can analyze from the SALES figures of the distributors that a bread which is doing well in

the North Delhi is not necessarily doing well in the East Delhi which clearly reflects the varying tastes and preferences of the Indian consumer Based on this I have tried to made an SKU wise Sales and Return analysis for all the major MODERN TRADE clients with their branches spread all across Delhi and NCR to suggest which are the profitable SKUs and must be promoted well and which arc the SKUs that are not to the liking of the Indian consumer taste and hence must be either modified or since, the company had the unique opportunity of developing the product they can modified the product by tinkering may be with the ingredients .product packaging or flavor or the price points and can re launch or relocate in an area that has the potential and the product is successful. The following are the SKUs that arc doing well and must be promotedHealthy Whole Wheat. Brown Bread Milk Bread Haldi Methi Ajwain.

Also the transformation of STR1VERS into GLOBAL INDIANS is also a major plus point for the product as most of the STRIVERS try to adopt the life style of GLOBAL INDIANSwhich is the most important characteristics of Indian Consumer.

In the current scenario in DliLHI which is TIER -1 city only 4.7% homes can spend RS.ISk monthly. The report reveals that just 4.67% of Delhi's families have a per capita expenditure of more than Rs. 3000 taking a unit of five as a family, this figures comes to paltry Rs. 15000 as expenses for the whole month for the economic strata that can actually be termed the cream of Delhi. It's a different matter that at 7 lakh people (Delhi has population of about 1.6 crore ) this group is actually bigger many Indian cities .

SCOPE IMPROVEMENT The study Ol showed that most of the consumers had not come across electronic or Print media advertisement .To increase the penetration of the product Britannia should focus on this aspect. As the product is a premium product & the target market is corporate, and the young people in the age group between 25 to 50 years. For them Britannia could adopt few innovative ways of advertisementON LINE MARKETING

The primary thing for any online marketing is to advertise the brand on the search engines. Search engine has become the most conservative medium for the searchers. Whenever people hear about a particular Product they will first go to the search engine for the details of that particular product because it is difficult to remember the website of each and every brand. So it is very important for the companies to keep its brand visibility in most of the search engines. Speciality Bread is a premium product, which is targeted mainly to the corporate, and the young people in the age group between 25 to 50 years. Researchers have shown that youngsters are the most confident and enthusiastic users who cannot live without search engines. Here is the survey earned out by an Internet company which shows the proportionate usage of Internet in these age groups

Table: Internet usage at different age groups Search engines offer users vast and impressive amounts of information, available with a speed and convenience few people could have imagined one decade ago. Their capabilities are expanding practically by the day. Today's Internet users are very positive about what search engines already do, and they feel good about their experiences when searching the Internet. They say they are comfortable and confident as searchers and are satisfied with the results they find. They trust search engines to be fair and unbiased in returning results. Furthermore, searchers largely don't notice or understand or discern the different kinds of search results that are being served up to them

Marketing strategies for B2B business In the stressful world of today, companies need to keep their employees motivated enough so that they always give their 100%. Appreciating ones hard work is a motivation tool. A number of companies provide break fast & lunch to their employees. At times companies throw weekend parties where they could use the product as new variant. Manufacturing companies should also be targeted. Most of the manufacturing companies have a launch party for their new products. Specialty breads can be used as delicious food their. Airlines can also be added into the list of clients. Airlines could prove a best client as they have various overseas passengers . A permanent source of revenues and will also help in introducing the taste to rich class public, which is our main target market other than the coiporate sector.

How to OQ about it:

TV advertisements will not be very effective for corporate sector, as people working in big companies do not get enough time to watch TV Instead we suggest following

marketing strategies:

Target clients from the corporate sector should be tapped and given a brief presentation on the product which will not only focus on the quality, pricing specifications, health benefits but will also show the amount of hard work that goes into making it. Sampling should be very important at this place. Early entry into long term contracts with these companies as entry barriers in this field are low and new players can come and eat the market share. There is a saying, Its better to be first, than better to be better.

Sponsoring company specific events like project completion, project launch, company sponsored parties etc can be very effective as these events grab a lot of attention of whole corporate sector. Hence it will help in publicizing the product at a larger scale. . Newspapers will help in making the product popular in employees of the target

companies. The advertisements should be very creative and should grab the attention ofreaders in one look. Also print advertisements must project specialty bread as a synonym of healthy & delicious food , To do this its advertisement indicate its ingredients which are healthy Recommendations for marketing strategies in B2B business

Since for the time being we are looking for B2B business so we can go for the following market strategies:-

1. Tapping clients from the corporate sector and giving them brief presentations on the product, which can include all the points down under (if incorporated) apart from the quality and other pricing specifications. 2. Sponsoring company specific events which are a very regular feature these days for example project completion, project launch, company sponsored parties or even the induction programs. 3. Customizing options like the specific taste could be provided to certain MNCs.

Customizing options like the specific taste could be provided to certain MNCs. 4. The company can also target airlines as they generally have overseas passengers and the creamy layer of Indian consumers.

Promotion program
In terms of the promotion program considering the hefty manufacturing and packaging

procedures, Program should be design in such a way that it shows that the Product is made with utter care and imbibes healthy ingredient. The promotions can aim on this feature and can thus term is as product for those who are very conscious about their health and look for delicious food. Video ads are preferable for even the direct presentations. Television promotions should also be focused from right now if the company has any plans to go in for the masses. Retail .MarketingFor retail marketing, focus should be selling up the exclusive retail outlets al malls or at other places. At the exclusive retail outlets all variants should be available where il could be baked instantly & could be produced before the customer. A professional chef could be the best alternative which could inform the end consumers about the product and also share some delicious dishes. Specialty stores like Bread World , Bread Zone can be established as exclusive outlets for selling specialty breads

Possible Location :

The strategy should be to adapt to place in every possible location where some business can be generated. Prominent places have to be chosen for the purpose like malls, educational institutions and corporate campuses, and places, which are for tourist attractions.

Malls that are upcoming trend in metros, tier-1 and tier-11 cities is the great opportunity. Malls that have decent running feet should be chosen in the initial phase. Special outlets can also be used at colleges and institutes where target audience is visible. Tourist places are the great place attraction because tourist will keep something as memento.

Initially metros and tier-1 city should be targeted.

Target market:

15-25 years old college going people Upper-Middle and higher income group people(Corporate People &

Businessmen)

Services

Working women & health conscious housewives

The main thing to be done would be packaging material; the packing should be as attractive as product inside, so marketing department has to keep looking for latest marketing trends to design the package accordingly. Use of Cpp packaging will keep the product fresh for long days & increase the shelf life And one more important part is that the company can take help of a carrier company to deliver the Specialty Bread to the homes and parties for their clients and charge a few extra bugs. The customer can place the order through internet or using the phone.

Recommendations

Specialty Breads are a premium Product so Britannia should concentrate more on business and executive class.

In FMCG sector distribution channels plays a very important role. Britannia should use

new distribution channel. So that Consumers could differentiate the product from the normal Bread.

Since Britannia has come up with very limited variants of specialty breads. To tap the 71akh estimated target market in Delhi & NCR region they have to adopt aggressive approach. They should come up with more variants of specialty breads with Indian flavours.

Consumers in Delhi & NCR generally go for shopping on weekends. Thus weekends are the most appropriate time for sampling at malls & areas like Khan Market, Azmal Khan Road, Vasant Viharare the hot spots.

In the retail business, Shopkeepers are most important, as they are the ones who inform the end consumers about the new products. Retailers should provide more margins so that they could provide more shelf space to the

Product at POP. The product has enough potential, but to make it a successful product Company has to focus on Retailers. .

Proper advertisement is the key to tap potential consumers. Innovative ways of advertisements like online marketing should be used by the company to achieve its goals.

Exclusive retail outlets at malls and supermarkets will surely increase the penetration. Here specialty Breads could be baked & served to consumers.

Though target population is satisfied with the Price but to tap more market share Britannia has It) be competitive regarding the price. Perceptual map at the next page will clear the situation.

PORTER FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

The model of pure competition implies that risk-adjusted rates of return should be constant across firms and industries. I lowever, numerous economic studies have affirmed that different industries can sustain different levels of profitability; part of this difference is explained by industry structure. Michael Porter provided a framework that models an industry as being influenced by five forces. The strategic business manager seeking to develop an edge over rival firms can use this model to better understand the industry context in which the firm operates:

~^r

I K;.2

Five forces analysis looks at five key areas namely the threat of entry, the power of buyers, the power of suppliers, the threat of substitutes, and competitive rivalry.

I he threat of entry :
Economies of scale e.g. the benefits associated with bulk purchasing. The high or low cost of entry e.g. how much wills it cost tor the latest

technology? Ease of access to distribution channels e.g. Do our competitors have the

distribution channels sewn up? Cost advantages not related to the size of the company e.g. personal contacts or

knowledge that larger companies do not own or learning curve effects. Will competitors retaliate?

I he threat of entry :

Government action e.g. will new law s be introduced that w ill weaken our

competitive posit ion? 1 low important is differ entiation?e.g. The Champagne brand cannot be copied.

This desensitises the influence ot the environment.

The power of buyers:

chains. It there are a large number of undifferentiated, small suppliers e.g. small farming This is high where there a tew, large players in a market e.g. the large grocery

I he threat of entry :

businesses supplying the large grocery chains. The cost of sw itching between suppliers is low e.g. from one fleet supplier of

trucks to another. another. Power is high where the brand is powerful e.g. Cadillac, Pizza Hut, Microsoft. The power of suppliers: The power of suppliers tends to be a reversal of the power of buyers. Where the switching costs are high e.g. sw itching from one software supplier to

I he threat of entry :
another. bars. Customers are fragmented (not in clusters) so that they have little bargaining Power is high where the brand is powerful e.g. Cadillac, Pizza 1 lut. Microsoft. There is a possibility ot the supplier integrating forward e.g. Brewers buying The power of suppliers: The power of suppliers tends to be a reversal of the power of buyers. Where the switching costs are high e.g. switching from one software supplier to

I he threat of entry :

power e.g. Gas/Petrol stations in remote places.

The threat of substitutes:

substitution of need e.g. better toothpaste reduces the need for dentists. Where there is generic substitution (competing for the currency in your

pocket) e.g. Video suppliers compete with travel companies. We could always do without e.g. cigarettes.
