...New Product Launch Marketing Plan MKT 571 New Product Launch Marketing Plan The purpose of this assignment is to create a marketing plan to launch a new product for both the domestic and international marketplace. Kotler & Keller define the marketing plan as “the central instrument for directing and coordinating the marketing effort” (Kotler & Keller, 2012, p36). This plan will include the following components: market need, market growth, SWOT analysis, potential competition, product offering and product definition, product identification, justification for choosing this product, and a 10-question survey. Market Needs According to research, young adults are the most attractive segment among marketing consumers both in terms of its size and its multibillion dollar purchasing power (Awan, M. 2014). The youth culture has been held up as the prototypical example of a global segment. They are reported to be the world biggest adopters of mobile technology, but limited research is available regarding segmentation. Therefore, there is a strong need for more segmentation research in the cell phone market, especially among the young adults since this age group is driving the market to new directions and uses. Market Growth According to the Cellular Telephone Industries Association (2012), cell phone usage in the United States has ballooned over the past 15 years with subscriber’s usage averaging 8 times more since 1995.

Their GPS line of products were the finest in the market, applauded for its durability, navigational accuracy and value added features. In October 2006, Posthaste launched BirdsI, a handheld GPS that displayed satellite imagery, and it took the market by storm. Terracog had not anticipated such response from the market as they felt the users we smart enough to choose performance over graphics. The large response from the market for Posthaste’s BirdsI saw Terracog decide to launch Project Aerial by October 2008, it very own product with satellite imagery. As time was a constraint to get the product in the market, it was decided to redesign the existing GPS platform. The Design team provided the product design as requested by sales team by December 2007. Initial cost estimates of $550 provided by production department were too high to market the product. Sales team had set a target price of $425 to regain lost market share. As a result, the design department and production department made some changes in the initial design, to reduce the cost by 8% to $475. This cost was much higher than the competitors price and sales team didn’t agree to it. Emma Richardson...

... To, Mr. Richard Fiero, The President, TerraCog. Subject: Launch of ‘Aerial’ Dear Sir, This report is an analysis of options available regarding project Aerial and strategy regarding dealing with the emerging competition in the market. Executive Summary The redesigned version of Aerial which includes features like satellite imagery is planned to be launched in the coming holiday season. TerraCog is losing its market share to Posthaste’s BirdsI, a similar product already present in the market and is eager to hit the market with Aerial. But the cost of redesigned Aerial is high ($475) and it is not profitable to price Aerial below $475, which is $75 higher than BirdsI. Also at current set price of $475, company cannot expect sufficient sales due to price sensitive nature of the product. Thus company should delay the launch by six months and should come up with better technology at a lesser price.
