...THE NATURAL MYSTIC The Natural Mystic’s Marketing Plan Phelicia Alert Keller Graduate School of Business Marketing Management – MM522 Professor Glen Forbes 1.0 Executive Summary Several major trends are driving the growth of wellness as an industry. These trends not only directly impact the spa industry and its customers, but also are opening new opportunities for spas to play a leading role in a paradigm shift toward more proactive ways of taking care of ourselves (Pilzer). According to economist Paul Zane Pilzer, the wellness industry is new and is currently a $500 billion worth industry. Pilzer also predicted that 10 million millionaires will emerge from the wellness industry in the next 3 to 5 years (Pilzer 2001). The Natural Mystic’s marketing plan seeks to generate revenue from a target market of primarily customers over fifty years old called the Baby Boomers. Through its wellness center, The Natural Mystic will provide unique solution – orient programs geared towards a market segment of serenity and holistic wellness seekers. Boomers represent the most progressive group in terms of making the connection between good health and appearance. As a result, Boomers represent the prime target for “beauty from within” messages. 75 % of Baby Boomers believe the best years are ahead of them. In this vein, they are looking for solutions that cater to concerns like lack of energy, physical health, memory and emotional health (Nolen 2011). It may seem that Boomers...

...Group 16 Innovation in Product Submission #2 Anant Jain B15131 Ankit Goel B15132 Anshul Jain B15134 2015 1. Introduction Innovation is refinement in a product, process, method, or a part thereof. Innovation has become a buzz-word in recent years, with increasing relevance of ‘innovation-centred business models’, and ‘innovation-led-entrepreneurism’. In fact, the success stories of Industrial America, technological Silicon Valley, American financial market, etc., are tales of constant innovations. ‘Digitization’ has shifted access to knowledge and information from a privilege to convenience: anyone who is willing and able to pay, has an access. Also, sharing of information and flow of payments and tenders through internet has changes businesses like never before. 1.1 What is Product Innovation? Product Innovation can be defined as creating a new product, or making changes in the existing product, or creating a differentiation in terms of utility or features of the product. Light Bulb, telephone, microprocessors, digital displays were great innovation in terms of making of new products, i-pods, cell phone, integrated circuits were innovations in terms of modification in existing products. Not all product innovations are technological breakthroughs- take a safety pin for example. Even candle, fountain pen, and scissors are examples of path-breaking revolution, that didn’t require significant technology, or invention capabilities. On the other...

...DongHyunKim Edward Setyadarma Salman Kamani Executive Summary Nestlé is currently the biggest food and beverages (F&B) company in the world. The company has a long-standing history of 140 years and a business portfolio comprising of more than 140 brands under the umbrella of Nestlé. One of Nestlé’s cash cow product lines is the ice cream. Popular household ice cream brands under Nestlé include Häagen-Dazs, Movenpick and Dreyer’s. Nestlé acquired its financial prowess and brand equity from a few sources. Firstly, Nestlé possesses an unmatched R&D capability enabling them to research on new ice cream products to satisfy consumers’ needs and retain their loyalty. In addition, Nestlé also has a huge resource pool, which they can utilize to expand their product lineup and business portfolio through various merger and acquisitions. Nestlé entered into the US premium ice cream market in 2002 through the acquisition of Dreyer’s ice cream followed shortly by Movenpick in Switzerland and Häagen-Dazs. This acquisition allowed Nestlé to venture into highly desirable niche premium market and expand their global coverage. It was not long before Nestlé overtook Unilever as the biggest ice cream manufacturer in 2011, in terms of both sales volume and market share (Nestlé: 17.5% vs Unilever: 16%). Switzerland, despite being Nestlé’s home market, did not provide a significant inflow of revenue. On the other hand, Nestlé derived most of its revenue from foreign markets which it...

...in order to achieve company goals. (Thomson, 2003) Picture 1: Three levels of Strategy Source: Created by author An organisation contains three-levels of strategy. The top hierarchy refers the corporate-level strategies that attempts to make use of the firm’s unique competencies by accepting a portfolio to the business management by developing long term plans. And the middle is the decision-making hierarchy at business-level that translates the statement’s direction and generates corporate-level strategies for business units or SBUs. And the bottom hierarchy is functional-level that develops short term strategies and annual objectives in different areas of organisation. (David, 2003) II.

...post-liberalization in 1999. In the last decade, total premium grew at a CAGR of 25% and reached a total of $67 billion in 2010. Indian Life insurance industry (which contributes 88% of total Life and General insurance premium in India) has emerged as the 9th largest life insurance market in the world. Yet, Insurance penetration (measured as ratio of premium underwritten to GDP) was only at 5.2 % in 2010 – significantly lower than Asian peers like South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong which boast an insurance density greater than 10%. 1 With low insurance penetration levels, growth potential remains promising. More importantly, the pace and nature of growth will likely see a change where new behaviours and dynamics of demand and supply will apply. On the demand side, growth is being fuelled by the growing population base, rising purchasing power, increased insurance awareness, increased domestic savings and rising financial literacy. The suppliers are correspondingly playing a market making role as competition heightens and differentiation become necessary for profitable growth. In the new order, innovating across the business lifecycle has become a necessity. 1 Source: IRDA Annual report 2010 Indian Insurance Sector Innovate Now Or Stagnate 1 The puzzle of untapped potential While the growth in Insurance industry has been at 25% in the past decade, a closer look suggests that this growth has come at a cost.
