COMPETITOR ANALYSIS

Müllerlight is currently locates in the yoghurt market and compete with all the dairy firms who provide yoghurt products.

Based on primary research, Müllerlight’s biggest competitor is Onken which share a similar brand image and target groups with Müllerlight, but Onken has not owned many innovative flavours but put their main focus on fruit.

On the other hand, Onken's relatively high content of sugar had moved them to an unhealthy side. Using the fat free vanilla taste yoghurt as an example, the sugar content for Müllerlight is around 6.7% while that in Onken is approximately 13%. This would be a big competence for Müllerlight because of growing desire for low-sugar food.

However, their attractive official site combined some dynamic lifestyle photos with their products which expressed their brand image more vividly. Yeo Vally and Light & Free have done the same thing as well. So, enrich the website would be a core issue for Müllerlight to improve in the future.

Also, the yoghurt substitutes such as cereal, ice cream and other snack brands would be their secondary competitors. To survive in these markets, the frequent content update to social media and advertising would be important to enhance the brand states among people.

SWOT ANALYSIS - Müllerlight is the leader in UK’s yoghurt market and owns a great market share.

- Good product quality with natural ingredients.

- Successful advertisement and innovation - (Just-food.com, 2010, “MostPromoted food brand”) - Local dairy factory provides competitive cost than importing from other places.

- Various types of products with low calories and sugar content.

- Powerful sponsored campaign and ambassadors.

Weaknesses:

- Relatively weak pot design.

- Unattractive website design.

- Lack of utilization of their social media.

- Can not effectively deliver their brand essence through communication tools.

- Hard to lay out all their flavours in certain supermarket due to the limited yoghurt shelves.

- Increasing the updating rate through social channels.

- Innovate the new range of yoghurt with layers.

- New regulation of cutting sugar by 20% in yoghurt market could increase the need of their “0% Added Sugar range” - Increase household penetration.

Threats:

9

Strengths:

Opportunities:

- Possible rising cost of imported inputs would influence the final product price.

(Müller company review, 2012) - Similar flavours range among all the yoghurt brands would force Müllerlight to provide risk-taking new tastes.

- Need further investment to do more promotion activities in this price-driven market.

SWOT ANALYSIS Müllerlight’s good reputation and outstanding product quality have built a strong basis for it to do their next step’s adjustment and development.

By comparison, the most obvious weakness of Müllerlight is their ineffectiveness communication channels.

The monotonous homepage infrequent update of social channels did not express its “pleasure” brand equity convinciingly.

There are still many opportunities for the brand to improve in the next few years.

The result from Mintel states that 34% of their respondent had interested in triple-layer yoghurts. Furthermore, the yoghurt’s dessert association could be the next innovation point for Müllerlight as well ( Yo g h u r t a n d Yo g h u r t Drinks, 2016) From the previous competitor

analysis, Yeo Vally and Activia had promoted the Breakfast pot which combined the yoghurt with cereal clusters.

Lastly, Müllerlight should pay attention to the possible threats especially on the financial part. The low price would play a key role in 42% people’s decision making process.

(Yoghurt and Yoghurt Drinks, 2016) If they want to maintain the current price or provide extra promotion, the pressure from the increasing costs of producing process will make it hard to balance the cost of current product quality.

10

COMPETENCIES Porter's Five Forces Threat of New Entry: (High) The raising concern of healthy yoghurt has brought a strong competencies to Müllerlight, plus the government policy of cutting sugar content has made adevelopment of low-fat yoghurt market. Currently, Müllerlight has not owned a strong brand loyalty in the fierce competition due to the limited flavor choice.

Industry rivalry: (Mid) Müllerlight now locates as the leader among low-fat yoghurt brands. It saw further volume growth in 2016/17, continuing a trend since 2014. (Mintel, Yoghurt and Yoghurt Market, 2017) Also, Müller was called as the “most promotional brand” in 2016 because of its large investment in advertising site for brand awareness building.

Threat of Substitution: (Mid) The main substitute of Müllerlight is not only the yoghurt market but also the soft drink and dessert market. However, yoghurt still provides people a sense of guilt-free sweet treat (56% from Mintel Research). With the brand effect of Müller, Müllerlight remain its status among all other dessert range.

Bargaining power of buyers: (High) The increasing demand for low-sugar yoghurt promotes the yoghurt brand’s updating rate of this type. Customers today can find more various types of yoghurt products with lower sugar content than before so the price comparison plays a key role in people’s purchasing behavior.

Bargaining power of suppliers: (Low) Müllerlight has fewer worries on this site due to its mature partnership with domestic farmers. The reasonable and transparency contract provides over 1900 UK farmers to support the brand develop its market more efficiency and keep Müllerlight away from the importing forces.

PEST ANALYSIS POLITICAL

FIG.17

“European regulation demands that health food companies come up with the scientific evidence to back their labelling.

The regulation extends to a vast range of products - from multi-vitamins and slimming pills to margarine and yoghurt.” Neil Bowdler Health reporter, (2010) BBC News For Müllerlight, the regulation on product labeling would bring a challenge for its product audit and ingredient monitoring. The brand should always set high demands on its production team. Maintain the quality is important especially when they plan to do product development.

Economical: "Total yoghurt market value is predicted to rise by 8.5% to reach £2 billion by 2021 and volumes t o remain largely static, standing at 648 million litres by 2021." Mintel, 2016, Yoghur t and Yoghurt Drinks FIG.18

The booming market environment has bought a healthy competition to Müllerlight. However, yoghurt is not existing as an essential product, so that customers would pay a limited range of money on yoghurt and it is hard to gain brand loyalty even they have a stronger purchasing power. In this situation, how to bring the brand with more values and make it stands out would be another challenge.

13

Social: Health and weight management drive healthy food habits but obesity levels still increasing that 63% of adults in England were classified as overweight or obese in 2015, according to the Health Sur vey for England (HSE) – (Mintel, 2017, Managing a healthy lifestyle) FIG.19

The increasing need for healthy and low-sugar food would provide opportunities for Müllerlight to gain more target groups. The should keep highlighting their “fat free” characteristic in their TV advertisement and labeled it on their packaging; they were all powerful and effective to catch people’s eyes.

TECHNOLOGICAL

FIG.20

“Discounts are the number one draw for using QR codes Boding well for the future uptake of QR codes, only a minority of consumers were not interested in any of the additional content which could be accessed using this technology." (Mintel, 2016, Food Packaging Trend) There are many design ideas for Müllerlight to improve their packaging design. Mintel mentioned the development of QR codes utilization on packaging. Also, 41.18% people from the primary research want to build a communication with brand through their yoghurt pots. How to utilize the QR code to do acommunication with customers need to be considered in their strategy plan.

MACRO TREND 1: Despite Economy uncertainty, consumers set to maintain a focus on health and wellness. – (Euromonitor, 2017, Health and Wellness in the United Kingdom) 2: Millennial are committed to eating right and exercising more than other generations, and are spending big dollars ensuring their children are living lives grounded in health and wellness as well; Millennial are interest of making homemade, healthy food for their children – (Forbes, 2017, The Business Of Feeding HealthConscious Gen Z And Alpha Children) 4: Consumer demand is forcing manufacturers to reduce sugar content and develop natural alternatives to artificial sweeteners (such as stevia blends) in their products. – Euromonitor, 2014, The Sugar Backlash and its Effects on Global Consumer Markets) 5: Energy is a key component of contemporary health and wellness lifestyles across all consumer age groups. (Forbes, 2015, Consumer Trends in Health and Wellness)

The macro environment has presented people’s growing concern on personal health management. There are several opportunities for Müllerlight to cater to these trends: Firstly, for Millennial group, it is crucial to introduce their products’ function and food suggestion effectively. The reason is the potential target group here could be a family contains both adult and children, so it would be a good c o m m u n i c a tio n strategy to illustrate their healthy ingredient and advice them to make homemade food with their products through their

FIG.21

advertisement or label on packaging.

Furthermore, the need for sugar content has become less and less due to the growing rate of obesity in the society.

Regarding this, Müllerlight could keep development on their “0%added sugar” range to more flavors and pot size.

To p r o v i d e m o r e v a l u e s f o r t h e i r products, social media could be a great platforms to show more product information such as their raw materials, making process and ingredient introduction. The photos and videos there can be viewed all time and also receive comments which are better than TV advertisement.

STRATEGIC CHALLENGES Based on the Market Trends

Ageing population would bring difficulty for spoonable yoghurt market. (Yoghurt and Yoghurt Market, 2017, Mintel)

Müller light enjoys high consumer trust but little loyalty. (Yoghurt and Yoghurt Market, 2017, Mintel)

The main target group of Müllerlight is people between 18 to 45 year old.

In this situation, how to maintain the current age group customers and attract people over 45 could be one challenge for them. The increasing mention of its healthy ingredient could be one strategy.

Müllerlight provides a wider range of taste than Activia or other lowfat yoghurt brands. It both helps and hinders Müllerlight to provide a sense of healthy. How to balance its healthy brand image with reasonable flavor types is a considerable question for them.

58% people choose a yoghurt brand based on its healthy ingredient and interest in less sugar content.(Yoghur t and Yoghurt Market, 2017, Mintel) The increasing need for low sugar yoghurt prompt the market to provide low-fat yoghurt. The wider choices on shelves bring more competitors to Müllerlight than before.

FIG.22

The rising concer n for animal welfare in yoghur t market.(Yoghurt and Yoghurt Market, 2017, Mintel) There are 48% people would stop buying the brand that did not ensure the animal welfare. It brings a challenge for Müllerlight to provide ethical products and demonstrate good credentials on animal welfare.

BACKGROUD: “This year in Shanghai, VS gave the Chinese model One Wang a stunning debut. As one of the contestants on “Road to the Runway,” a Top Model–style search for the next Victoria’s Secret star, Wang competed against a house full of beauties to snag her spot.” – (Vogue, 2017, How an Unknown Model Made Her Debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show) FIG.31

INTRODUCTION The Chinese reality show “Road to the Runway” has earned a larger number of audience for Victoria’s Secret this year, because the winner of this show would be on the 2017 VS show and everyone could be the witness. Obviously, this TV program had achieved great success as well as their collaborative partner - Pepsi Zero. Pepsi had gained a deeper impression of low-calories and awareness among people through the embedded advertisement inside.

Müllerlight could use it as an example to collaborate with British’s Next Top Model to booming the brand image of pleasure and healthy.

21

FIG.32

HOW WILL THEY GET THERE

23

BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS Currently, Müllerlight has engaged 1900 UK dairy farmers to be their suppliers.The honest relationship of business cooperation is built based on the clear contract, compelling milk price as well as the professional communication and support from Müller company.

Suppliers’ strong and steady support has been a support for Müllerlight to explore more yoghurt possibilities.

Müller’s chief marketing officer said: “We're going to keep innovating and leveraging the Müller brand in areas where the business doesn't have a presence.” (Just-food.com, 2017)

FIG.36

As a result, in 2015, Müller has completed the acquisition of Dairy Crest and promoted a new milk supply contract to their suppliers.

FIG.37

As the Müllerlight officer said, anything that you eat instead of yoghurt could be the brand's competitor. So Müllerlight could keep exploring new yoghurt types by combining their products with the secondary competitors, the desert brand such as cereal or ice cream could be taken into account.

There is a possibility to build a business corporation with cereal brand and launch a breakfast pot combined the yoghurt with cereal. Mintel states that, 77% people think cereals are good value for breakfast choice and 57% people prefer less sweet cereal.

So it could be a good entry point for Müllerlight to join in the breakfast product range to gain more market share. The brand image of low calories could allay consumer ’s concern of cereal’s high-sugar content and achieve a win-win result.

To gain a wider product portfolio, Müller will also build a collaboration with Mondelez to develop its range of Cadbury products and gain a new segment of the dessert sector.

FIG.38

24

BUSINESS-TO-CUSTOMER

Based on the collaboration with fitness app Sworkit, Müllerlight could launch a campaign to have a deeper communicate with customers.

The possible name for the campaign is “Light Yourself” which is not only highlight the low-fat ingredient of its yoghurt products, but also engage people to improve their self-confidence by doing exercise.

Their primary communication channel should be social media because of their young target group: 18-45 years old people who take care of their health. So the communication activity has to be fresh and attractive. For example, Müllerlight could develop a topic of “Light yourself” by using the hashtag to encourage a discussion online. In order to boost the attention, some celebrities, especially fashion models such as Taylor Hill, Rosie Huntington could be invited to this topic to share their fitness tips and their opinion on Müllerlight. Their optimistic attitude

25

and slender shape is perfectly fit the campaign’s theme of “Light yourself by having a heathy lifestyle with Müllerlight and Sworkit” and could make a desire for customers to imitate their healthy lifestyle.

After they have accumulated amount of attention, they should engage consumers to join in the topic by uploading their ideas of Müllerlight meal and healthy tips, yoghurt vouchers would be the prize to attract participant.

The new TV advertising would be launched at the same time to gain attention from 30 to 45 housewife and mum; it is the most vivid and effective way to introduce this campaign in a short time, this advertisement would mention their online activity at last to integrate different channels.

A new packaging would be the last tool to ensure all their customers know this activity. The primary research states that 44% people want to build a connection with the brand through their packaging.

So the attractive design of “Light Yourself” yoghurt pot could grab customers’ eye from the yoghurt shelves and transmit the information directly.

ONE-YEAR TACTICAL PLAN

FIG.48

31

Focus on network building and spread new brand image of “energetic”.

The first whole year communication plan would proceed to start with the launching of the “Light Yourself” campaign.

In this first half year, Müllerlight should do allocate a team to manage its social media channels. This team would help Müllerlight to choose customer’s uploading pictures to their official site and will update daily to remain the hot topic.

In the second half year, Müllerlight should shift the focus to the connection from offline to the online site. At this point, Müllerlight could use the yoghurt pot as a tool to connect offline to online. For example, they could print various optimistic adjectives such as independent, motivated or brave outside the box and engage people to tell the brand their adjectives through social channels. The word they uploaded could appear in the yoghurt pot very soon. People would match themselves to their adjectives, and that could increase the yoghurt selling. At the same time, the online communication would be improved when they give their ideas and customers would have a sense of brand ownership during this process.

CONCLUSION There is a raising concern of eating healthy now which has brought a fierce competition to the yoghurt market.

Müllerlight has owned a high brand awareness and a certain amount of customer loyalty. but they are not enough for the brand to stand in the environment. They should adjust their attention to trend catching and transmit more possibilities to their customers.

At this point, strong communication with customers plays a key role to support their plan. So the first year plan aims to improve their online channels and generate public attention by doing a campaign and social activities.

Therefore, the previous brand image of pleasure will be reinforced, at the same time, the fresh brand personality of “energetic” will be delivered after this year and attract some new customers.

The emotional connection would be improved as well and that would bring more competencies to support Müllerlight to implement their plan.
