Integrated pricing policy

?

Penetrative pricing in the cash cows like Health supplement, digestives and Home care
Premium pricing in dog category like skin and baby care

?

24

?

It is based on the combination of market growth and market share relative to the next best competitor
It is based on the observation that a company’s business unit can be classified into four categories: Stars Question marks Cash cows Dogs

?

? ? ? ?

25

26

?

Question marks (?) most businesses start of as question marks.
They will absorb great amounts of cash if the market share remains unchanged, (low). Investments should be high for question marks. Why question marks ? Analysis with dabur indiaChyawanprash

?

?

? ? ?

27

?

Stars stars are leaders in business.
High growth, high market share. Effort should be made to hold the market share otherwise the star will become a cash cow. Analysis with dabur indiaDabur glucose-32% (growth rate) Dabur honey-26%(growth rate) Meswak-39%(growth rate)

CASH COW They are foundation of the company and often the stars of yesterday.
They extract the profits by investing as little cash as possible. They are located in an industry that is mature, not growing or declining. Analysis with dabur indiaChyawan prash Hajmola Real

?

29

DOGS Dogs are the cash traps.
Dogs do not have potential to bring in much cash. Number of dogs in the company should be minimized. Business is situated at a declining stage.

The FMCG environment in India and overseas is competition intensive and companies need to focus on branding, product development, distribution and innovation to ensure their survival. It is probably better for a company to create a few champion brands rather than dissipate its energies on too many products, because that is what will result in sustainable margins," says Manish Saigal, associate director, KPMG. Dabur isn't the category leader in any of the consumer product categories where it has a presence: it is No. 4 in shampoos, No. 3 in toothpastes and nowhere in the reckoning in toilet soaps. But that doesn't appear to bother the company overmuch -- it is too busy launching new products. The company should discard products where volumes aren't growing fast enough to deliver margins. Dabur isn't ready to be quite so brutal with Meswak (also inherited from Balsara), but the company is working on new ways to rejuvenate and promote the brand.
