商务对话实战之营销策略篇
英:In this conversation, Tanya Nichols, the owner of an ice cream manufacturing company, is talking with her marketing manager, Carla Hutchison, about the marketing strategy for a new product. Tanya: So, Carla, do you have a marketing plan for our new ice-cream sandwich?Carla: Yes I do. After going through our S.W.O.T. process, I think we’re in good shape. One of our main strengths is the quality of our ice-cream, and there’s is a good market opportunity for the novelty of a choice of flavors. Since our company already has a good image,I don’t see many weaknesses. No other company sellsice-cream sandwiches with a choice of 5 flavors, so there’s no threat to speak of, either.Tanya: I assume we don’t need to worry about creating a need, with summer almost here.Carla: Right. As for the marketing mix, we’ll package it in gold foil with dark brown lettering to simulate chocolate, and price it 20% higher than our chocolate-covered ice-cream bar. It’ll be introduced in selected places across the country starting next month. The main promotion will be through advertising, using a ‘pull’ strategy, of course. We haven’t finalized our ads yet, so I’ll have to let you know. Can we meet again the beginning of next week?Tanya: Sure can. Let me check ... how about Tuesday morning at 10:30?Carla: Uh, let’s see ... okay with me.中:在这一对话中,Tanya Nichols是一家冰淇淋制造公司的业主,她正在和他的营销经理Carla Hutchison谈论一种新产品的营销策略。Tanya: Carla,你对我们新的冰激凌三明治有什么营销计划吗?Carla: 是的我有。经过SWOT分析,我认为我们的经营状况很好。我们的主要优势之一是我们产品的质量,并且创新口味的产品在市场上有很大商机。因为我们公司已有一个好的形象,我并不认为有很多不利因素。没有其他公司有5种口味的冰淇淋三明治,所以对我们来说谈不上有什么威胁。Tanya: 我想夏季就要来临,我们不用再为创造需求而担心。Carla:对。至于说营销组合,我们要用像巧克力一样的深褐色字母的金箔纸来包装它,仿照巧克力,并且定价比我们的巧克力脆皮冰激凌贵20%。下个月将要在全国有选择地投放市场。主要通过 广告促销,当然是运用“拉”的策略。我们还没有最终决定我们的广告,因此我还得要通知你 。我们下周初能再碰一下面吗?Tanya: 当然可以。让我看一下……星期二早上10:30怎么样?Carla: 呃,我看看……我没问题。Tanya: 好,干得好,Carla.下周见。 |
