...Selecta is a brand of ice cream and milk sold in the Philippines and also in Australia by Mead Johnson Company, who also made Sustagen and Enfamil. The ice cream brand is co-owned by the Philippines' RFM Corporation and the food giant Unilever under the subsidiary Unilever RFM Ice Cream, Inc.[1] The company's beginnings can be traced back to Selecta Ice Cream and Refreshment Parlor, owned by Ramon Arce, Sr. and family, and founded in the 1930s. It later expanded its business by selling its ice cream and milk with Mead Johnson nationwide. In 1990, RFM Corporation bought Selecta from the Arce family, and formed Selecta Dairy Products, Inc.. In 1999, RFM entered a partnership with Unilever to produce and market Wall's Ice Cream in the Philippines, under the joint venture Selecta Walls, Inc., which later became Unilever RFM Ice Cream, Inc. Selecta's market share in the region has since increased. Selecta markets its ice cream products under Unilever's Heartbrand brand umbrella, while marketing its milk products under the original Selecta logo. Under their name Selecta Moo, they make milk with special flavors, such as melon and ube (sweet purple yam). Selecta adds vitality to life by using only the best ingredients and the freshest inclusions in its ice cream. A company with a heart - carefully crafting and dedicating its products for the enjoyment of its consumers. Selecta’s humble beginnings can be traced to the Arce family’s ice cream parlor in Manila in 1948. Its ice cream...

...SELECTA: Mixing the Right Ingredient for the Future I. Brief Background Selecta was unknown and a dying brand when RFM Corporation bought it in a bid to contest MagnoliaВЎВ¦s monopoly of the Philippine ice cream market. And when RFM Corporation bought Selecta in 1990, the company through its winning formula of high-quality, marketing innovation, modern production technology and strong distribution network was able to capture 39% of the ice cream market from 1% Nationwide after more than 2 years from taking over the ownership. With the increasingly intense competition as other competitors are jockeying for a larger share of the market, Selecta has to plan its growth and business strategy in the future. II. Statement of the Issues The issue in this case is what will be SelectaВЎВ¦s growth and strategic plans for the next 3-5 years to sustain its market dominance and protect or even increase its market share. III. Areas of Consideration a. Economic indicators 1. PhilippinesВЎВ¦ GNP is expected to grow by 5.8% in 1997. 2. Total family income is estimated to increase 18.1% annually. 3. Family expenditures showed a growth of 17.8% since 1994. 4. Spending on food consumption outside home was seen to rise from 4.2% to 4.7%. b. BuyerВЎВ¦s behavior 1. 80% of Filipino consumers bought on impulse (they bought only upon passing an ice cream shop or scooping station, but without an intention to buy first) 2. 98% ate ice cream in the comfort of their home. 3. 70%...

All of the respondents surveyed knows Selecta whether it is an aided or unaided one. 59% of them answered Selecta as their top-of-mind brand of ice cream. This is the reason why the brand got a perfect score in customer awareness. Summarizing all the verdicts that the respondents gave for Selecta, the brand is on the pretty good side when it comes to quality. Considering the quality and price, customers consider it as great in value. Nonetheless, some negative comments such as it is so sweet and the chocolate and cookie bits are few, are the reason why Selecta only got 4.5 ratings for quality. Selecta is the ice cream brand that is widely distributed in the Philippines. Aside from being available in major supermarkets, its distribution channels include convenience store, sari-sari stores, restaurants, drugstores, and grocery stores.

...MARKETING PLAN OF SELECTA ICE CREAM I – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Selecta’s humble beginnings can be traced to the Arce family’s ice cream parlor in Manila in 1948. Its ice cream was well-known for its creaminess, authentic flavours, and unique gold can packaging—qualities that remained throughout the years. In 1990, RFM Corporation bought Selecta from the Arce family to form Selecta Dairy Products, Inc. Known for its sharp entrepreneurship, RFM catapulted the rise of Selecta as a serious contender in the ice cream market always ahead in product innovations by creating new and exciting flavours like Cookies and Cream, Halo Halo, Ube Macapuno, and Chocolate Almond Fudge, and supported by heart-warming media campaigns that depict Selecta as an ice cream that creates family bonding moments. In 1997, Selecta became the market leader in the Philippine capital, which accounted for 60% of the nation’s ice cream consumption. In 1999, to complement its frozen novelties category and strengthen itself for competition, RFM teamed up with Unilever, the largest ice cream company in the world to form Selecta Walls Incorporated. The joint-venture proved to be a success and in 2000, Selecta defeats competition to become the national ice cream leader. And that has been the story since with its passion for exceeding the expectations of consumers, unwavering dedication to quality, and unrelenting quest to improve itself through its innovations, Selecta or Unilever RFM Ice Cream, Inc....

...then pioneered the flour-milling industry in the Asian region by starting out as a single company manufacturing bags of flour to a distinguished multi-company enterprise leading a number of branded products. RFM Corporations stands as a strong contender in the Philippine consumer market for offering a wide variety of food and beverage products such as: White King (cake mixes and flour-based products), Fiesta (Pasta and Sauce), Swift (meat based products), Sunkist (fruit juices), Selecta (milk- based products) and Selecta (ice cream, under the joint venture with Unilever). A variety of partnerships, acquisitions and licensing agreements have increased RFM's strong market existence and flourishing brand structure efforts for the past years. Its first acquisition was the Cosmos Bottling Corp., the producer of Pop Cola brand, in 1989 by the Wong Family. It also acquired Selecta Dairy Phil., from the Arce family a year after. RFM also has affiliated with Unilever Philippines Inc. for the operations on Selecta...

...Novaliches, Quezon City. In 1938, demand for the ice cream was so high that the plant had to be moved to Lepanto St. in Manila, making it more accessible to the consumers. The existing plant at Selecta Drive in Balintawak, Quezon City under the stewardship of Mauro C. Arce, Sr. was established in 1952. In January 1990, the third generation of Arces outvoted the family of Mauro C. Arce, Sr., and the brand name Selecta Dairy Product was sold to RFM Corp.. However, the ice cream business and the dairy plant were retained by the family of Mauro C. Arce, Sr. lock, stock, and barrel. The Arce type of ice cream, the “all-natural” ice cream, has captured the hearts of Manilanians through the decades of its uniqueness and its old fashioned manufacturing process. Tenacious requests from prominent clients, captive loyal followers and food connoisseurs, demand for its return. In January of 1995, the dairy plant resumed operations, and the family of Mauro C. Arce, Sr. renamed the product “ArceDairy Ice Cream”. This name was so chosen because no other company can just call their product “dairy ice cream” unless the butter fat content comes from milk. Only carabao’s milk can pass the butter fat content requirement for ice cream naturally, without any add ons. On top of this, the machines used in the plant at Selecta Drive allow the use of solid chunks of fresh fruits for flavoring the old fashioned way, unlike the mass production machines which use puree. While the way of making this gourmet type...

...2012 was a good year for U.K. coffee cafés. Among Leading 100 U.K. chains, the coffee café segment grew sales 12.2 percent, due largely to U.K.-based Costa Coffee (sales up 18.5 percent) and Starbucks (sales up 6.1 percent). Together, these two brands made up over 80 percent of coffee cafés sales within the Leading 100, while the remainder came from Caffe Nero, Wacky Warehouse (Corner Coffee) and AMT Coffee Bars. New players to the category, however, are expected to heat up competition. Harris + Hoole, a coffee shop concept backed by U.K. retail-giant Tesco, has opened seven stores since the start of the year (for a total of 17). The chain focuses on its independent look and feel, which changes based on location. Italy-based Lavazza announced its intentions of opening 50 Lavazza Espression shops across the U.K. by 2015. With four locations currently in the country, this upscale coffee café concept features a large selection of Lavazza espresso beverages, as well as a menu that was created through Lavazza’s partnerships with world-renowned chefs. The popularity of high quality coffee in the U.K. has also gotten the attention of brands in other categories. Wanting to take its own share of the market, KFC U.K. rolled out Lavazza coffee at its outlets nationwide earlier this year. Greggs, the U.K. brand known for its chain of bake shops, has launched a coffee shop concept called Greggs moment, which features fairtrade coffee and a selection of specialties from its bakery menu. ...

San Pedro, Maranatha Hope T. Sollestre, John Adrian F. Velasquez, Frances Anne S. Submitted to Prof. Rosario Taylo January 28, 2011 Campaign Title: “Pambansang ice cream, ating tangkilikin!” I. Background/Research Arce Dairy Ice Cream, formerly Selecta, started on January 1990 when the Arce family signed away the lifework spanning three generations. Today, Arce Dairy faces stiff competition in the marketplace for established names such as Magnolia, Nestle, Selecta, BTIC. Arce Dairy Ice Cream was established by Don Ramon Arce, Sr. in the year 1935. It was during 30’s when Don Ramon Sr., became a member of President Quezon’s staff who bought land in Novaliches where the farm was bountiful. Also, there was always pure carabao’s milk on the table which he pasteurized and brought it to Manila. That ‘sideline’ became the start of creating an idea to build their own ice cream manufacturing. In 1962, it was almost 30 years after their grieving stage for the loss of Don Ramon Sr., they decided to sign away from their business in which they also considered as a personal, emotional thing for their family. Their shares in the company were being sold to other stockholders of the Arcecon Dairy Products. After 20 years of resting from the ice cream industry, they now...
