Brand and Nescafe

Topics: Company

The beginnings of Nescafe can be traced all the way back to 1930, when the Brazilian government first approached Nestle. At that point Brazilian coffee meets Swiss science. Nestle’s coffee researcher Max Morgenthaler, and his team set out immediately to find a way of producing a quality cup of coffee that could be made simply by adding water, yet would retain the coffee’s natural flavor. After seven long years of research in Nestle’s Swiss laboratories, the answer was found.

The new product was named NESCAFE – a combination of Nestle and cafe but word wide cafe means coffeehouses or coffee-bars.

Nescafe was first introduced in Switzerland, on April 1st, 1938. For the first half of the next decade, however, World War II hindered its success in Europe. Nescafe was soon exported to France, Great Britain and the USA. Without realizing it, America played a key role in re-launching Nescafe on the continent by virtue of the fact that it was included in their food rations.

Its popularity grew rapidly through the rest of the decade. By the 1950s, coffee had become the beverage of choice for teenagers, who were flocking to coffeehouses to hear the new rock ’n’ roll music.

It is currently estimated that, on average, some 3,000 cups of Nescafe are drunk every second. As is evident Nescafe’s come a long way since 1938 and all is owed to Max Morgenthaler and his team! In Bangladesh under the sole distributorship of Nestle Bangladesh Ltd. , Nescafe Classic was first introduced in 1998.

Recommendation * Targeting to huge rural population After reviewing all the things we have come up with some recommendations for Nescafe which are as follows Coffee for rural areas of Bangladesh: For the product Nescafe Nestle Bangladesh limited can target the huge rural population of Bangladesh. Because they have a very strong distribution network and they also have different product categories of Nescafe. * Establishment of Coffee processing plant and Packaging materials industry Nestle basically import Coffee bulk and other finished products of Nescafe from Nestle Malaysia.

They also rely on the outside suppliers for packaging materials. But we think that, they can establish their coffee processing plant and packaging materials industry in Bangladesh because of cheap labor price in Bangladesh and Nestle Bangladesh ltd also get good support from the parent company. * Introducing premium brand to the premium restaurant across the cities of Bangladesh Nescafe basically distribute their all premium brand in some specific area where consumer’s living standard and life style is very rich.

However, if Nescafe can introduce their premium brand to the different popular restaurant as well as famous fast-food chain in the urban area such as Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet, Nescafe will retain huge number of consumer. As a result, the consumption rate of the premium brand will rise. ————————————————- References * http://www. nescafe. com/worldwide/en/Pages/Home. aspxy * http://nestle. bdjobs-server. com/bd. htm * http://www. scribd. com/doc/23372208/COMPETITIVE-ANALYSES-OF-NESTLE’S-NESCAFE ————————————————-
