The following report gives an overview of newly juice introduced in the market, Chiggy Wiggy.
Moreover, our report will briefly outline:
|Page 6
INTRODUCTION
The need for the product:
In today’s world people are too much health conscious. The main ingredient that we use in our
juice named ‘Chiggy Wiggy’ is honey instead of sugar. Honey has many medical benefits over
sugar, and they are as follows;
The usual milk drinks for example ‘Milo, Owsum, and Nesquick’ use sugar and sugar is not only
unhealthy but also an expensive raw material to be used in drinks. We on the other hand can
keep our cost of production low by using honey instead of sugar; honey can be used in small
quantity than sugar and will give our product more and more sweetness.
The main target market for us is the users who are health conscious, and like stated above in
today’s world every other person is health conscious. So I think the market needs this segment
and targeting such a segment has a scope in the market.
|Page 7
MISSION STATEMENT OF THE COMPANY:
The product targets the consumers who want to stay healthy even if they turn 80. It targets the
group of people who don’t have a high salary yet don’t want to compromise on their health. So
the main purpose of the product is to keep the world healthy so that people can enjoy their life.
PHILOSIPHIES
There are five alternative concepts under which organizations design and carry out their
marketing strategies:
Production concept
Product concept
Selling concept
Marketing concept
Societal marketing concept
The concept we will use for CHIGGY WIGGY JUICE is marketing concept. As per the
marketing concept the main tool that we are targeting is the consumer want. The consumer
wants to stay healthy and what else can be the better way of giving them health than
|Page 8
CHIGGY WIGGY. We will use integrated marketing and make our product successful by
giving maximum satisfaction to our consumers.
CHIGGY WIGGY can use ‘honey’ as a CRM for them. The product is made using honey
which has many medical advantages over sugar. Consumers will get to know that we are so
much careful about their health that we are using honey instead of sugar and this will help us
differentiate our product to that of Milo and other milk drinks, this will create better CRM.

Explore various types of traditional advertising methods such as classified ads,
yellow page ads, television and radio spots, and display ads in magazines and on
other Web sites. Go with what meets your budget and best reaches your target
group.
Maintain a visible presence within your industry. Participate in trade shows,
attend community events and offer to speak on your area of expertise at seminars

CHIGGY WIGGY’S BCG GROWTH MATRIX
It is a simple method to know about a company’s particular product in terms of its relative
market share and growth rate.
Cash Cow – Keeping “Chiggy Wiggy” in mind CHOCOLATE flavor among all juice
flavors can be a the cash cow because majority of the populations choice of flavor goes
for chocolate including the kids market so it may have a large market share in a mature,
slow growing industry. It requires little investment and generates cash that can be used to
invest in other business units.
|Page 11
Star – Next the BANSTRAW flavor (that is the combination of banana and strawberry)
among the “Chiggy wiggy juices” may be a star as the research said majority of the
youngster’s favorite fruit is banana and strawberry so it might be having a large market
share in a fast growing industry. Secondly Banana is the most healthy fruit recommended
by doctors and this flavor can be preferred by adults of all ages since honey is used
instead of sugar. These may generate cash, but because the market is growing rapidly
they require investment to maintain their lead. If successful, a star will become a cash
cow when its industry matures.
Dog – Finally GAUVA flavor will be a dog as only a small majority would prefer this
flavor because people generally don’t go for this flavor, so it is a possibility it will have a
small market share in a mature industry.
In the beginning we expect our product to be at dog’s position and then gradually we expect it to
occupy star position.

THE PRODUCT EXPANSION GRID
Chiggy Wiggy when classified into product-expansion grid will fall into the category of
“Product Development” as our market already exists and the product introduced is modified i.e.
the juice is consumed by almost everyone and is a convenience product and there exist many
competitors, so the market for Chiggy Wiggy is the same as the market for nestle, we target
everyone. But our Chiggy Wiggy is modified since we introduced a completely new flavor
which is never been introduced by any other company that is ‘Banstraw’ (a combination of
banana and strawberry) and that we use honey in place of sugar. Chiggy Wiggy thus will be a
part of product development growth strategy.

|Page 25
STAGES IN NEW-PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
‘Why introduce a new product?’ The simple answer is either to diversify, to gain a greater
market share, to fill a market gap or to cater to the changes that are taking place in the marketing
environment.
The idea for chiggy wiggy was generated because of the fact that none of these sort of a
combination of energy shakes and juice were available in the market .And secondly every single
juice was or shake was sweetened using sugar.
The entire idea behind this concept was to provide nutrition, taste and convenience in the form of
a quality product; hence the idea of energy“on-the-go” was conceived, with adding flavor to life.
After the concept was developed, it was tested amongst a few employees; receiving a positive
response gave us the incentive to move further with the development of our product. After which
we developed a marketing strategy that outlined a detailed specifications regarding the product.
A business analysis was then prepared and presented for approval by management, which would
further support the development of our product. After this stage is completed the product is
developed and tested in more realistic market settings, which marks the test marketing stage.
Once this stage is completed that is when commercialization of the product or its introduction in
the actual market takes place.
|Page 26
PRODUCT LIFE-CYCLE STRATEGIES
The product life-cycle (PLC) concept tells us the course of the a products sales and profits over
its lifetime. It involves 5 stages:
Applying the PLC concept we can say that the returns will be positive during the concept
development stage as there is no similar type of product available in the market.
Moreover, the introduction phase will also yield low sales and profit levels as the product has
just been introduced in the market and it will take time and awareness for sales to pick-up, which
happens in the Growth stage.
High sales and profits are expected in the growth stage as the product would become well known
and will capture a great market share.
|Page 27
Maturity is the peak stage, here the product has either reached its level of acceptance or there is a
lot of competition in the market due to new firms coming in this field. Chiggy Wiggy’s maturity
stage is considered or expected to be a short one because surely new firms will try to capture the
market.
We keep in mind decline of our product, even if it is as innovative as Chiggy Wiggy .There can
be numerous factors that may contribute to its decline.
PRICING STRATEGY
MARKET PENETRATION PRICE
We will set lower price for our new product for several reasons mention below:
Our product will bring an innovative concept to the market, very different from the
conventional concept of juice that is why we want as many people to try our product
as much possible. So that we can capture a large initial market share.
We will set prices based on buyers’ perception rather than our cost. Under this concept we
cannot design a product and marketing program and then set the price. Price is considered along
with the other marketing mix variables before the marketing program is set.
Thus it must convince buyers that the products value at that price justifies its purchase.
|Page 28
CONSUMER MARKETING CHANNEL
Marketing channel for the product will be channel 4 which is agent broker channel.. Since
our product will be widely available and very easily accessible to customers we prefer
distributing it through wholesaler to retailer. So that large retail stores will be able to buy
bulk amount of our product from wholesaler at a discounted price and wholesaler can store
such huge amounts of Chiggy wiggy juice s to reduce the company’s cost of storage.
|Page 29
CONCLUSION
Our attempt was to bring before you the concept of a totally new product that does not exist
in the market .The whole concept of Chiggy Wiggy was to provide a quality product along
with convenience and taste as an added bonus.
Our purpose was to bring forward a healthy product for which People don’t have to
compromise on taste.
