From Sanlu landing in Beijing to see new packaging achieve new markets

editor's note: relying on the new packaging to achieve a leading edge has now become a beautiful scenery in the dairy industry. How to create a new product market by using new packaging? The successful practice of Sanlu Aklin packaging in Beijing gives us a vivid answer
background
since 2003, China's liquid milk market has been the most competitive period. The industry is facing a reshuffle, and various brands are scarred. CCTV and consumers are undoubtedly the two biggest beneficiaries in this year
with a market capacity of nearly 2billion yuan per year and its important strategic position, Beijing became the most competitive and tragic market in 2003. In addition to the real estate brand Sanyuan, national brands Yili, Mengniu and Guangming have successively invested hundreds of millions of yuan to establish production bases in Beijing, and regional brands Sanlu, Wandashan, Haihe and Hengkang have successively entered Beijing. All brands have paid a heavy price while winning attention. By the end of 2003, Wandashan, Hengkang and other brands had withdrawn from the Beijing market one after another. As the largest milk powder brand in China's dairy industry, did Sanlu choose to withdraw from the Beijing market in 2004, like Wandashan and Hengkang, or continue to defend Beijing? If you hold Beijing, will you continue to choose price war or find a way to innovate
in 2003, Sanlu Group achieved a sales revenue of 4.3 billion yuan, ranking fourth in the country, including milk powder ranking first in the country. Yogurt ranks second in China with an average daily scale of 400-500 tons. In the Beijing market, Sanlu yogurt ranks fourth in market share, among which bagged yogurt ranks first among low-end yogurt. This is a category market where Sanlu has an advantage and strong brands such as Yili and Mengniu are entering
if the competition of enterprise products is like "playing cards", Sanlu undoubtedly holds a good hand at this time. However, this is only a clear card, which is not enough to ensure that Sanlu can achieve its overall leading goal in the yogurt field in Beijing. Sanlu must enter a new field and form one or more new good cards as soon as possible - this is a major challenge that Sanlu must face
domestic yogurt Market in 2003
1. Market share of lactic acid products in important domestic cities

strategic principles of Sanlu new products
Beijing is the most mature market for yogurt consumption in China, with the per capita consumption and market scale of yogurt ranking first in the country, and it is also the market with the most concentrated packaging forms. Sanlu must seek to "herd sheep where wolves rarely appear"
the conditions for Sanlu to compete for consumer groups are:
1. Middle income household consumer groups
2. Heavy consumers who drink yogurt every day
3. Mass consumer groups that pay attention to brand and quality and are sensitive to price
for this reason, Sanlu's marketing strategy is not to improve the popularity, cultivate non drinkers and increase the frequency of drinking, but how to attract the most mature family groups who drink yogurt to Sanlu's exclusive packaging form by adopting new packaging with cost performance
leap from packaging to category
what packaging includes the recycling of materials, including steel, aluminum and magnesium front-end parts. There are huge differences in low-level energy consumption and environmental impact in the whole life cycle of vehicles, which can achieve the strategic goal of Sanlu yogurt? We select Swedish eklin style bag packaging from a variety of new packaging at home and abroad
eiklin bag packaging is a sustainable environmental protection packaging based on calcium carbonate. The specification of 500/1000ml is adjustable. It can be used as two types of yogurt: stirred and solidified, which is about 10% lower than the cost of fresh houses. Consumer research conducted in Beijing and Shanghai shows that consumers believe that the packaging of akrin is high-grade, which is the same level as that of fresh houses, especially their environmental protection
it has been several years since eklin entered the Chinese market. Why didn't Yili, Guangming and Mengniu choose eklin packaging? Beijing million manor dairy has used aclin packaging to fill fresh milk and yogurt in Beijing for several years, but the average daily sales have been hovering at 1 ton to 2 tons. What is the reason for such a huge contrast between the research and the results
the improper positioning of akrin packaging is one of the key reasons why Swedish akrin has failed in the Chinese market for several years. Eklin company named its 500/1000ml package eklin style bag. Million manor displayed its products together with plastic bag yogurt, and consumers confused eklin style bag with plastic bag. At the same time, the price of eklin yoghurt is higher than that of yoghurt in plastic bags of the same specification, which discourages consumers
Sanlu must position the category of eklin yogurt and become the first brand for this category to enter the mental model of consumers
Sanlu's positioning of eklin style bag yoghurt
product positioning: an independent category between plastic bag yoghurt and fresh house yoghurt
target population: family consumption groups with good yogurt consumption habits and medium to high income
renaming of aklim bag packaging: fresh pot
in terms of category management of packaging, the most successful model is Tetra Pak, a world packaging giant in Sweden. Tetra Pak pillow. Tetra Pak. Tetra Pak diamond, etc. - the packaging of different categories has a very clear positioning. At the same time, Tetra Pak also spared no effort in advertising its packaging brand
the eklin stand bag was renamed "fresh pot" ", the purpose is to establish an independent mid-range category between low-end plastic bags and high-end fresh houses, just as Tetra Pak pillows are positioned between glass bottles and Tetra Pak bricks. Without such an accurate positioning of Tetra Pak pillows, it is difficult to imagine that we can achieve today's billions of Tetra Pak pillows milk market.
what should be put in Sanlu fresh pots
fresh pots as a new package Category is not a complete product. What should be contained in it? Is it "new bottle" for "new wine", or "new bottle" for "old wine"
if "new bottles" are used to pack "old wine", the product content must be popular yogurt, and its product quality and taste must be guaranteed to be the same as or more competitive with competitive packaging products
if we adopt "new bottle" to pack "new wine", we will bear double risks, but if we choose "new wine" properly, we can set a higher price to ensure a higher gross profit margin
the final product combination is:
new bottle + old wine combination: fresh pot of original yogurt (500/1000g)
new bottle 10 new wine combination: fresh pot of high calcium (high calcium + the following 1 schemes are some energy-saving measures used in the development and development of the experimental machine dietary fiber) yogurt (500/1000g)
role assumption:
fresh pot of original yogurt undertakes the sales task,, Attract consumers to transfer pure yogurt packaged in other categories to Sanlu fresh pot yogurt with higher cost performance
the task of fresh pots of high calcium yogurt is to obtain higher profits, and the pricing still has a cost-effective advantage of 15-10% over fresh houses of the same specification
how to make the packaging convey the interests of "fresh pot" and products
packaging is not only the cheapest print advertisement, but also the easiest to control and the most targeted advertisement. Use the back of eklin fresh pot to package it and Sanlu yogurt
