POSITION<br />

FROZEN CATEGORY<br />

The frozen food business has been “flat or declining<br />

in terms of growth for the past several years.”One<br />

of the reasons is because people think frozen food is<br />

unhealthy.<br />

The category needs more excitement, innovation,<br />

and more awareness (especially for <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong>).Frozen<br />

food aisles are one of the most difficult aisles to shop<br />

because the products are all behind closed doors and<br />

there are many options to choose from.<br />

TAI PEI<br />

Awareness of <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> is very low: 60.88% of all survey<br />

monkey participants were unfamiliar with this<br />

brand.There is currently a negative attitude towards<br />

<strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> because consumers perceive it as unhealthy<br />

and un- appealing.<br />

The usage of <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> is also very low with 8.57% of all<br />

survey participants having purchased <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> before<br />

and only 1.90% of those that have previously purchased<br />

it, purchase it often.<br />

SWOT ANALYSIS<br />

STRENGTHS<br />

<strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> is a part of the Ajinomoto Winsor family,<br />

which is famous for focusing on innovation<br />

and technology in giving their customers better<br />

lives20-year history of delivering easy, convenient,<br />

and delicious Asian single-serve frozen entree.<br />

Provide exceptional and outstanding choices<br />

as well as flavor at an affordable price.<br />

Clean ingredients.Smart, well-designed, and<br />

convenient packaging. Innovative techniques<br />

that keep the food’s nutrition and favor, such as<br />

flash freezing, which in enables the high quality<br />

of their food.Following the principle of giving<br />

consumers restaurant quality in frozen food<br />

form.<br />

OPPOTUNITIES<br />

Asian frozen food can satisfy currentfood<br />

trends (taste, health, ease, and convenience)<br />

and demands. People like Asian food, especially<br />

Chinese food. (In a survey with 1,899 responses,<br />

80% of respondents said they like Chinese food).<br />

Millennials are looking for varying cultural cuisines,<br />

natural, convenient foods at a reasonable<br />

price, therefore,Millennials fit perfectly into the<br />

<strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong>’s category. In addition, the Millennials<br />

population is increasing.<br />

WEAKNESSES<br />

Limited distribution network.Lack of brand<br />

awareness (60% of people are unfamiliar with <strong>Tai</strong><br />

<strong>Pei</strong>)Lack of attention paid on advertising, as well<br />

as too small of an advertising budget. Lack of<br />

promotional programs.Although <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong>’s goal is<br />

to provide outstanding choices at affordable prices,<br />

they are still struggling between quality and<br />

price.<br />

THREATS<br />

<strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> has Many large, well-established, and<br />

well-known competitors. Chinese restaurants<br />

are also a threat.The category (Asian frozen<br />

food) has high competition, compared to other<br />

frozen food categories. <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> also has poor<br />

nutritional value, it is considered sugary in<br />

flavor and low in quality. People want fresh food<br />

or real Chinese food. They also worry about<br />

MSG.The consumers brand perception is a<br />

threat. Most people claimed that they have never<br />

heard about the brand. People usually have<br />

negative feeling towards new products. Since the<br />

brand is new, people are hesitant to try it.<br />

FROZEN FOOD<br />

LANDSCAPE<br />

Frozen food offers many challenges in today’s ever changing market. With fresh food consumption<br />

at a 30-year high the challenge to shift consumers back into the frozen food aisle for reasons<br />

other than convenience has never been higher. Consumers want fresh and often times health<br />

conscious options. The stigma that surrounds fast food is a large hurdle that needs to be overcome<br />

through advertising. A few key issues of frozen food such as, being unhealthy and of subpar<br />

quality is no longer the case. Being able to offer quality products that rival those of restaurants is<br />

now possible thanks to technique used by <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> such as flash freezing.<br />

Although there was an evident<br />

decline for frozen food<br />

during 2013 and 2014, this<br />

forecast also displays potential<br />

growth for the brand in<br />

more recent years. If our media<br />

plan is well-executed, it<br />

could reverse the downfall<br />

and make the category relevant<br />

to the new target audience.<br />

CONSUMER TREND<br />

According to the Mintel Snacking Motivations and Attitudes – US Report, April 2015, “Snacking<br />

has become nearly universal, with 94% of adults snacking at least once per day.” The lack of freetime<br />

for the average adult is an enormous influence on why snack usage has increased so much.<br />

Consumers currently desire convenient and quick offerings. Now, roughly 60% of consumers eat at<br />

least two snacks per day.<br />

However, more and more consumers want to eat fresh foods as well. <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> has the capacity to fulfill<br />

both roles of being a convenient yet authentic meal.<br />

FROZEN SNACK PURCHASE FACTORS, BY PRESENCE OF CHILDREN IN HOUSEHOLD, JANUARY 10<br />

Although freshness is what more<br />

and more consumers are searching<br />

for in frozen food products, the original<br />

traits of this food category are<br />

what draws consumers to the frozen<br />

food aisle. Both the innovative<br />

packaging and the affordable pricing<br />

makes <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> a suitable meal for individuals<br />

who are constantly on the<br />

move, whether it’s at school or work.<br />

COMPETITORS<br />

brands’ ad spendings last 12 months<br />

Compared to the majority of <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong>s competitors, they are lagging behind substantially in total spent<br />

on advertisement, as well as in total sales. We believe this is due primarily to how they are currently<br />

spending their advertising budget. For instance, Stouffers spent $23765.2 (000) during the previous<br />

12-month period with sales totaling $678,326,400. <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> on the other hand spent, $17(000) with sales<br />

totaling $80,000,000. <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> received excellent returns on their sales, however they can and will do<br />

much better under our plan, by diversify where they spend their advertising dollars, as well as focusing<br />

in on the key market of millennials.<br />

COMPETITORS<br />

competition’s recapitulation<br />

<strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> is lagging behind the competition in a few key areas that include diverse advertising<br />

strategies, social media engagement, product portions and brand recognition.<strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> is able<br />

to differentiate themselves by offering more variety within the Asian food category. their<br />

packaging is reminiscent of Chinese take-out, which is eye grabbing and differentiates themselves<br />

from the common bag and box others traditionally use.<br />

In order to increase their share of the market we would recommend expanding advertising<br />

and following through with their commitment to healthy meals, while keeping the variety<br />

and unique packaging.<br />

SUMMARY<br />

Currently, the frozen food category has the potential to increase exponentially as we shift our target<br />

audience from women in their early thirties to millennials. We also plan on changing the consumer’s<br />

perspective of frozen food into a positive one as well as increasing the brand awareness of<br />

<strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> itself. Although <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> has many well-known and well-established competitors, we have<br />

quick, quality meals that match current eating trends such as snacking. By increasing and diversifying<br />

<strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong>’s advertising strategy and social media interaction it will become more relevant to<br />

millennials and inevitably increase the brand loyalty as well. Next, we’ll show you our tactics that<br />

will transform <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> into a noteworthy and appealing brand to our “on-the-go” consumers.<br />

TARGET AUDIENCE<br />

Millennials, individuals that are between the ages of 18 and 24 years old, currently make up<br />

almost ten percent of the United States population, and are expected to surpass the baby boomer<br />

generation in the coming decades. With this knowledge it is vital that marketing and advertising<br />

starts to not only encompass millennials within their campaigns, but shift some of their focus<br />

towards them. Thankfully some of the techniques used with baby boomers are also effective with<br />

millennials, such as their ability to never settle and always achieve more.<br />

Many people think of Millennials as lazy, this could not be any further from the truth. Millennials<br />

may not show motivation and dedication in the same way as other generations because of<br />

their entrepreneurial spirit.<br />

Millennials can be described as explorers with their values consisting of not only adventure, discovery,<br />

living boldly, but life experiences as well. They can be described as the generation of discovery.<br />

With being adventurous comes a lack of time, because of this, the convenience of frozen<br />

food should be alluring to them. Currently their health is also of the utmost importance, so that<br />

they are able to keep up with their busy lifestyles. With their health in mind, millennials are not<br />

frequent visitors to the frozen food aisle because of the stigmas that frozen foods currently have.<br />

There are a few brands that have started to take note of what millennials crave, and <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> is at<br />

the forefront of this. With their bold flavors, authentic recipes and health conscious entrees and<br />

snacks, millennials can enjoy quality, health conscious food to keep up with their adventurous<br />

lifestyle. The unique flavors of <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> feed their need for discovery and their new and improved<br />

health conscious recipes are not only bursting with flavor, but they are healthy and filling as well<br />

enabling them to explore all that life has to offer. The convenience factor and health conscious<br />

nature of <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> is the perfect complement to the Millennials need for adventure, discovery and<br />

a life lived boldly.<br />

13


TARGET AUDIENCE<br />

Our new Target audience is Millennials who<br />

are between the ages of 18 to 24. We segmented<br />

them into three groups: male, female, and college<br />

students. Some of the common desires they share<br />

include their desire for convenience, good flavor,<br />

and affordable prices. However, their personal values<br />

include a craving for discovery, balance, and new<br />

experiences.<br />

MALE<br />

Meet Mike, he likes food that keeps him full. He hates feeling hungry after<br />

eating. He has people to meet and places to be. He likes to live life to the<br />

fullest and enjoys a good dose of adventure. He doesn’t cook and can no<br />

longer just go to his parents for food. Between adventures he finds himself<br />

eating the easy to make yet filling <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong>.<br />

female<br />

Meet Teresa, she values food that has beneficial ingredients and natural content. She<br />

wants to experience life to its fullest and diskies the blandness of constant routine.<br />

When she ventures out of routine to something new and exciting, she doesn’t alwways<br />

have time to prepare a meal but she still needs to fuel up so she ops for the<br />

filling, portable, and flavourful <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong>.<br />

Meet Amy and Danny, they go to college and are<br />

constantly trying to balance their grades, social life,<br />

and work. They like to spend time with friends and<br />

break out of the school and work zone. They don’t<br />

always have time to have a meal in a restaurant and<br />

many times eat as they work or do school works. They<br />

reach for tai <strong>Pei</strong> to keep them fueld up for the work<br />

that is ahead and the fun that waits.<br />

SEASONALITY<br />

Sales are up during the summer<br />

months (June and July)<br />

The rest of the months are<br />

steady but are dependent on<br />

weather<br />

Colder weather causes people<br />

to eat at home instead of eating<br />

out. This leads to more people<br />

making frozen food an option.<br />

Match is National Frozen food<br />

month and is included in the<br />

summer months as a time of<br />

high sales.<br />

Based on survey monkey consumers usually eat frozen food for dinner or for lunch. This<br />

means that they are eating it either at their place of work or once they get home from work.<br />

Some consumers have it as an evening snack; few have it as breakfast or a late night snack.<br />

This means that it may be best to try to reach them at their place of work or school right<br />

before the lunch cravings as well as on their drive home from their place of work since they<br />

are probably thinking about what they want to eat and may be too tired to make dinner.<br />

SEASONALITY<br />

campgain<br />

april - march<br />

The frozen food department tends to show some seasonality during the summer months and also<br />

in March focused around National Frozen Food Month. The winter months are not top months<br />

for frozen food but some variations can be found depending on the temperature. Warm winters<br />

affect consumer demand for frozen foods negatively. Areas with warmer winters experience a<br />

decline in sales. With a mild winter in much of the country, shoppers were more likely to eat out.<br />

The overall sales are very close to consistent; they don’t drop or rise sharply in any particular<br />

time. Although it is consistent, the reason of purchase can change based on season and temperature.<br />

In the winter cold is good because people are encouraged to stay in instead of eating out.<br />

In the summer people are out and ads need to go where the people are. This led us to create a<br />

seasonal plan that is tailored to where people spend their time based on the season.<br />

16


SEASONALITY<br />

We will kick off our every day adventures campaign in April, because the summer<br />

months are good months for frozen food we cant have a slow kickoff. Magazines,<br />

cable television, social media, out-door ads, and music media would be used.<br />

This momentum would push us into the back to school phase where we focus on school<br />

events and supplement with smaller doses of all our other ads. Outdoor ads will decrease<br />

since these are primarily used in summer. Once winter arrives our focus shifts more towards<br />

ads that are mainly in home or in shopping places. This includes Social media, music media,<br />

cable commercials, magazine ads and poster size ads in shopping places. We would also partner<br />

with coffee shop near shopping areas since warm coffee is popular during winter seasons. We<br />

would then end with a bang in the frozen food Isle as we reach frozen food month in March. We<br />

would mainly used our owned media and set up guerillas near the frozen food isle.<br />

TACTICS<br />

$<br />

TV - Cable TV<br />

In-store<br />

What: We will advertise <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> in Wal-Mart<br />

near the electronics, magazines, school supplies,<br />

music, and <strong>book</strong>s sections. We will focus<br />

on major cities within states with high<br />

frozen food consumption. We will divide into<br />

two phases: Kick off (180 stores) and back to<br />

school (153 stores).<br />

Why: Millennials rarely go in the frozen food<br />

aisle. In order to get them there we need to<br />

meet them where they are. Millennials love<br />

Wal-Mart, which is why we are focusing on<br />

Wal-Mart for in-store advertising.<br />

How much: $500,000<br />

How Many: 40 Million*<br />

What: We will place 15 minute ads from midnight<br />

to 1am on Adult Swim, MTV 2, Teen Nick, and<br />

Cartoon Network.<br />

Why: Many Millennials watch Adult Swim and<br />

MTV 2. MTV 2 has an Index of 322 that includes<br />

both genders. Close behind is Adult Swim with an<br />

index of 285. Following those we have Cartoon Network<br />

and Teen Nick. Millennials top time to watch<br />

Cable Television is from 12 midnight to 1 a.m. from<br />

Monday to Sunday. All four channels cover 64.2%<br />

of the target audience’s population.<br />

How Much: $4.5 Million<br />

How Many: 90,000<br />

Magazine<br />

What: We will place a half page, full color ad during<br />

the kickoff.<br />

Events/ Guerilla<br />

Out-of-Home<br />

What: We will use billboards in major cities<br />

within states with medium consumption of<br />

frozen food. This would be during the kickoff<br />

phase and back to school phase.<br />

Why: Billboards give us high impression, and<br />

high awareness at low cost, especially in states<br />

with low or medium consumption of frozen<br />

food. We will use a lot of creative to generate<br />

buzz. Billboards are directional so we will direct<br />

traffic to nearest stores.<br />

How much: $500,000<br />

How Many: 250 Million*<br />

21<br />

EVENTS:<br />

What: We will create or sponsor four nationwide<br />

events during the winter phase with themes related<br />

to “fuel your adventure” such as sport or camping<br />

events.<br />

Why: Winter is a flat season for frozen food. By<br />

having events, we can keep the momentum of the<br />

summer months. Although managing an event<br />

is high cost and low reach, events can help bring<br />

potential target markets and generate buzz among<br />

them.<br />

How much: $700,000<br />

How many: 20 Million*<br />

GUERILLA:<br />

What: Based on the idea of “fuel your adventure,”<br />

boxes other activities to help them to discover<br />

the <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong>’s world. Coupons will also be provided<br />

within a guerilla type ad of a huge <strong>Tai</strong> <strong>Pei</strong> box, so<br />

we can get Millennials to walk over to the frozen<br />

food aisle.<br />

Why: Guerilla draw attentions. Guerilla can also<br />

be filmed for advertising and commercial purposes.<br />

What: We will make Face<strong>book</strong> posts that require<br />

the audience to solve a problem, riddle or anagram.<br />

All of the answers will be part of a scavenger hunt<br />

that requires clues found on the box as well.<br />

Why: Millennials are heavy users of social media<br />

because they like to share their experience. Posts<br />

that require finding an answer engage the audience<br />

and may get more shares and comments than posts<br />

that are just an image.<br />

How much: $400,000<br />

How many: 59 Million<br />

Online Radio Streaming<br />

What: Run 10 seconds ads between playlist. We<br />

will focus on 4 major online radio channels which<br />

are Pandora, iTunes, Spotify, and iHeart.<br />

Why: Millennial score low on the index for radio<br />

even in high quintiles. Most Millennials do not<br />

listen to radio because they usually listen to music<br />

via online radio. Also, traditional radio is local<br />

but internet radio is worldwide, which is the better<br />

choice for national campaign.<br />
