NESTLE PURE LIFE DRINKING WATER

INTRODUCTION TO NESTLE:
Today, Nestle is the world leading Food Company. Nestle headquarters is in Switzerland. Its international R&D network supports the
products made in more than 500 factories in 86 countries. The Nestle factories are operating in the region of:

1. Africa
2. America
3. Asia
4. Europe
5. Oceania

Being a company dedicated to food from the beginning, Nestle remains sensitive to culinary and eating habits, and responds to specific
nutritional problems, whilst also setting and matching new trends such as growing out-of-home consumption and caring about the well being of its
consumers.

EANING OF NESTLE:

Henri Nestlé endowed his company with the symbol derived from his name. His family coat of arms, the nest with a mother bird protecting her young,
became the Company's logo and a symbol of the Company's care and attitude to life-long nutrition. The Nestlé nest represents the nourishment,
security and sense of family that are so essential to life.

BRIEF HISTORY OF NESTLE:

1866 -1905

In the 1860s Henri Nestlé, a pharmacist, developed a food for babies who were unable to breastfeed. His first success was a premature infant who could
not tolerate his mother's milk or any of the usual substitutes. People quickly recognized the value of the new product, after Nestlé's new formula saved
the child's life, and soon, Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé was being sold in much of Europe.

1905-1918

In 1905 Nestlé merged with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. By the early 1900s, the company was operating factories in the United States,
Britain, Germany and Spain. World War I created new demand for dairy products in the form of government contracts. By the end of the war, Nestlé's
production had more than doubled.

1918 -1938

After the war Government contracts dried up and consumers switched back to fresh milk. However, Nestlé's management responded quickly,
streamlining operations and reducing debt. The 1920s saw Nestlé's first expansion into new products, with chocolate the Company's second most
important activity

1938 -1944

Nestlé felt the effects of World War II immediately. Profits dropped from $20 million in 1938 to $6 million in 1939. Factories were established in
developing countries, particularly Latin America. Ironically, the war helped with the introduction of the Company's newest product, Nescafe, which was a
staple drink of the US military. Nestlé's production and sales rose in the wartime economy.

1944 -1975

The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamic phase for Nestlé. Growth accelerated and companies were acquired. In 1947 came the merger
with Magi seasonings and soups. Crosse & Blackwell followed in 1950, as did Findus (1963), Libby's (1971) and Stouffer's (1973). Diversification came
with a shareholding in L'Oréal in 1974.

1975 -1981

Nestlé's growth in the developing world partially offset a slowdown in the Company's traditional markets. Nestlé made its second venture outside the
food industry by acquiring Alcon Laboratories Inc..

1981 -1996

Nestlé divested a number of businesses1980 / 1984. In 1984, Nestlé's improved bottom line allowed the Company to launch a new round of acquisitions,
the most important being American food giant Carnation.

1996+

The first half of the 1990s proved to be favorable for Nestlé: trade barriers crumbled and world markets developed into more or less integrated trading
areas. Since 1996 there have been acquisitions including San Pellegrino (1997), Spillers Pet foods (1998) and Ralston Purina (2002). There were two
major acquisitions in North America, both in 2002: in July, Nestlé merged its U.S. ice cream business into Dreyer's, and in August, a USD 2.6bn
acquisition was announced of Chef America, Inc.

MISSION STATEMENT

“Nestle is dedicated to providing the best foods to people throughout their day, throughout their
lives, throughout the world. With our unique experience of anticipating consumers' needs and
Creating solutions, Nestle contributes to your well-being and enhances your quality of life.”

Nestle is not only Switzerland's largest industrial company, but it is also the World's Largest Food Company. The mission statement
emphasizes on the fact that Nestle products are available in nearly every country around the world. Wherever one may live, only Nestle can provide the
best and most reliable food and beverage products to meet his/her needs throughout the day, throughout the life. Especially, people on the move want
to be able to find good food wherever they are, whatever the time of day. They are often reassured that they will find well-known brands out of home.
This statement also reflects the image of high quality products that Nestle offers. Nestle has the advantage that it offers caterers, fast food
chains and other restaurants a complete range of high quality ingredients, base products and meal components, as well as leading consumer brands
such as Nescafe. Quality is the cornerstone of the success of the Nestle Company. Every day, millions of people all over the world
show their trust in the company by choosing Nestle products. This trust comes from a quality image that has been built up for over a century. Therefore,
the quality of the products ultimately enhances the quality of the consumer’s life.
In addition, the mission statement declares that Nestle has the ability to anticipate “…consumer’s needs and create solutions….” Nestle has
proven this ability a number of times by introducing new products that were required by consumers. Especially, the launch of Nestle Pure Life in
Pakistan proves the accuracy of this fact. In Pakistan, there was a need for safe and healthy drinking water and Nestle responded to this consumer
need by introducing Nestle Pure Life.

 Finally, it is quite evident that the organization has actually implemented its mission statement in the business practices that it carries out.
Also, the mission statement has been an important guideline for any SBU that the firm has started and this is portrayed by the success that each SBU of
Nestle enjoys.

in which they place their trust and that without its consumers the Company would not exist.
• Nestlé believes that, as a general rule, legislation is the most effective safeguard of responsible conduct, although in certain areas, additional
guidance to staff in the form of voluntary business principles is beneficial in order to ensure that the highest standards are met throughout the
organization.
• Nestlé is conscious of the fact that the success of a corporation is a reflection of the professionalism, conduct and the responsible attitude of
its management and employees. Therefore recruitment of the right people and ongoing training and development are crucial.

STARS: The two Sbu’s, Mineral water and Confectioneries fall into this category of the BCG. These SBU’s have high market share and high industry
growth rate. These Sub’s are requiring lots of investment to compete in the growing market. For example, lots of money is being spent and aggressive
marketing strategies have been implemented for the Mineral water to build and maintain market share. Nestle Pure Life has captured 50 % of the
bottled-water market in Pakistan since it was introduced in 1998. Its approximate sales for 1999 are RS. 70, 401000. This sales figure is quite
impressive as the sales rose quite high in only one year. It is predicted that there will be additional growth in the mineral water category in coming years.
The sales of the confectioneries rose to RS. 106,559 000 from RS. 87,758 000. The huge increase of RS. 18, 801 000 puts this SBU in the stars
category and shows its increasing market share. There is a growing market for the products in confectioneries for example Kitkat (eventhough it’s
imported), Polo Smarties etc. This can be proven from the fact that Nestle keeps introducing new products in this category for example Allen’s Soothers
were launched during the last quarter of 1998.

CASHCOWS: Milk products, Coffee and Dietetic and Infant food have a high market share and are doing business in mature industries. Since the
customers of this product category are loyal, the marketing costs of these SBU’s is quite low and as a result a large amount of cash can be generated.
Customer Loyalty is a must for these Cashcows to maintain their market share. The sales of the Milk products have increased to RS. 108,430000 from
RS. 87,758000. This huge increase in sales reflects the high market share of this SBU. However, its growth rate is low because in general this category
is in its maturity stage – that is – a number of milk products have been launched by Nestle, most of which are quite old. An innovation has not really
been made in this category. The same conclusion can be made about Coffee. There is an already existing market for Coffee which is not increasing
further by a large amount. The sales of Coffee were Rs. 46,89 000 in 1999 and Rs. 392,00 000 in 1998. This huge difference shows that a great
amount of cash is being generated from this SBU. Sales of Dietetic and Infant food rose to Rs. 60,935 000 from Rs. 52,655 000. The infant foods unit
of Nestle is operating in a mature industry. Like the milk products, the infant foods have been around for a long time without barely any new product line
being started in this category.

QUESTION MARKS: Included in this section is the culinary products of the organization. The products such as Maggi 2-minute Noodles and Maggi cold
sauces have a low market share and a high growth rate. These products especially the cold sauces are operating in a highly competitive market. The
approximate sales were Rs. 79,919 000 in 1999 and Rs. 60,818 000 in 1998. This figure represents a great potential for growth in future. However, in
contrast, the market share of the products in this category is not very high currently. A reason for this is that Nestle just recently introduced cold sauces
such as “Emily sauce” etc. However the enthusiasm with which the customers received the different flavors of sauces, portrays a very high potential for
future growth. The firm needs to focus on differentiating its products in the competitive market to gain customers.

DOGS: Chocolate and Fruit drinks fall into this category and they possess a low market share and a low growth rate. Chocolate drinks had sales of Rs.
19639000 in 1999, which rose from Rs. 19541000 in 1998. This is quite a small increase considering the rise in the sales of other SBU’s. However, the
chocolate drinks are still profitable so the firm does not have to worry about liquidating or getting rid of this SBU. The sales of Fruit drinks rose to Rs.
40,620 000 in 1999 from Rs. 38,103 000 in 1998. There has been a small amount of increase; however it is not a lot compared to other SBU’s. Firstly,
there is not a huge market for chocolate drinks in Pakistan. People usually tend to buy light juices like apple or orange juice or Pepsi instead of
chocolate drinks. Secondly, regarding the fruit juices, there are not a lot of flavours available currently in this category. Nestle needs to introduce new
flavours such as apple, grape etc. to capture the market that prefer these flavours. This will not only increase the sales of the SBU, but it will also

NESTLE PURE LIFE DRINKING WATER

 increase its market share. At the moment, additional amount of money is not being invested in these SBU’s, as they are not very profitable. Nestle is
currently trying to maximize profits from this category by minimizing expenditures and by differentiating the product to build market share.

Objectives of Nestle Pure Life:

The main objective for the SBU was to be number one selling bottled-mineral water in Pakistan. This objective was hoped to be accomplished by setting
the following further sub-objectives.

i) Safety: To provide the consumers with a safe drinking water: Consumers want reassurance. The Nestle name on the product is an assurance of
quality for the consumer. Also related to safety is the fact that the water is captured in a safety environment and undergoes rigorous treatment to meet
universal quality standards. The water is de-mineralized by distillation. Mineral salts are then added, in accordance with a strict formula developed.
The bottling line is also subject to strict sanitary regulations: an air-controlled room houses the filing machine, and the bottles and caps are sterilized.
Quality is a continual process and is monitored during each production phase - some 200 controls. Packaging also receives special attention. Each
Nestle Pure Life bottle and the 5-litre PET jug have a special cap and tamper-resistant band. This way, the consumer can tell immediately whether the
bottle has come straight from the plant or if it has been tampered with.

2. To offer consumers a healthy product:

Remineralization let Nestle offer consumers a balanced, refreshing and healthy product, the product's second key objective. The formula developed for
Nestle Pure Life contains minerals such as calcium, which is essential for bone development; magnesium, which is recommended for muscles and the
central nervous system; bicarbonates, which are particularly useful for digestion; and sodium, which helps regulate hydration in the human body. Overall
mineralization is light (200 mg per liter) and suitable for the whole family.

iii) To offer an affordable mineral water: As well as being pure, safe, healthy water, Nestle Pure Life is affordable and convenient. No matter what the
format, Nestle Pure Life is sold consistently at popular prices affordable for a large portion of the population. The 1.5-L bottle is offered for Rs. 22 --
cheaper than most of the other water brands of the same size. The 0.5 L bottle was initially offered for Rs. 8 but now is sold for Rs. 12. The increase in
price has been caused mainly due to inflation and competition.

iv) To make the product as convenient as possible: This was the product's fourth objective. Due to its well-balanced mineral content, Nestle Pure
Life can also be used for cooking and to prepare tea or coffee. The brand is available in several formats suited to a variety of consumption patterns (50
cl, 1.5 litre, 5 litre). The idea is clear: to be close to the consumer. In other words, Nestle Pure Life must be available in all sales and restaurants outlets
and anywhere else consumers young and old are likely to buy or drink water.

These objectives can be very well matched with the mission statement of the organization. Consider the following mission statement:
“Nestle is dedicated to providing the best foods to people throughout their day, throughout their lives, throughout the world. With our unique experience
of anticipating consumers' needs and
Creating solutions, Nestle contributes to your well-being and enhances your quality of life.”

Referring to the first part of the mission statement, Nestle did provide the consumers with the best bottled-mineral water, as it is number one in the
bottled-water market in Pakistan. According to their claim that they provide the best food throughout the world, Nestlé Pure Life is available throughout
Pakistan in a number of outlets because of the intensive distribution strategy of the firm. Secondly, Nestle was very successful in identifying the need for
safe and pure drinking water, and thus came with the wonderful solution of providing the Nestle Pure Life water. Referring to Nestlé Pure Life, it has all
the essential minerals, which a human body needs, as well as, it is pure and safe. Thus it improves one aspect of our lives. By drinking healthy water,
people can escape different fatal diseases like Hepatitis B and C (one of the causes of which being the contaminated water). Ultimately, the quality of
life is enhanced as portrayed by the mission statement.

NESTLE PURE LIFE & ITS COMPETITORS:

There are not too much competitors of nestle pure life in the market because Nestle was the only company who gives the idea o bottled water. Up to
some extent Sparklet and AVA are the competitors of Pure Life Water. But in future Pepsi and Cocal Cola will be their competitors because they are also
launched their drinking water Aquafina.

STRATEGIES FOR COMPETIOTIVE ADVANTAGES:

Every product on the shelf, every service and every customer contact helps to shape this image. A Nestlé brand name on a product is a promise to the
customer that it is safe to consume, that it complies with all regulations and that it meets high standards of quality. Customers expect us to keep this
promise every time.Under no circumstances will we compromise on the safety of a product and every effort must be made to avoid hazards to health.
Likewise, compliance with all relevant laws and regulations is a must and is not negotiable. People, equipment and instruments are made available to
ensure safety and conformity of Nestlé products at all times. The effort is worth it. Companies with huge quality standards make fewer mistakes, waste
less time and money and are more productive. They also make higher profits. Quality is our most successful product. It is the key to our success, today
and tomorrow.

NESTLE PURE LIFE DRINKING WATER

The customer comes first

We want to win and keep customers: distributors, supermarkets, hotels, shopkeepers and the final consumers. They have very different requirements.
Trade customers expect excellent service, correct information and timely delivery. Consumers consider taste, appearance and price when they make
their choice. Our task is to understand what customers want and respond to their expectations rapidly and effectively. We serve various groups of
consumers and there is demand for products at different levels of perceived quality and price. All customers, however, expect value for their money –
good quality at a reasonable price. When offering quality to customers we also mean environmental quality. Nestlé shares society’s concern for the
environment and is committed to environmentally sound business practices throughout the world.
Customers are central to our business and we must always respect their needs and preferences.

Quality is a competitive advantage

We live in a competitive world and must never forget that our customers have a choice. If they are not satisfied with a Nestlé product, they will switch to
another brand. Our goal, therefore, is to provide superior value in every product category and market sector in which we compete.
The pursuit of highest quality at any price is no guarantee for success, nor is a single-minded cost-cutting approach. Lasting competitive advantage is
gained from a balanced search for optimal value to customers, by simultaneous improvement of quality and reduction cost.
Success can never be taken for granted. We must watch and learn from our competitors. If they do something better, we must improve our own
performance. We can achieve competitive advantage through Quality.

Quality is a joint effort

Operating companies are fully responsible for maintaining agreed quality standards. Not only Production units, but also Marketing, Purchasing,
Distribution and Sales have a vital role to play in providing quality to customers. This implies a thorough knowledge of the products and services we offer
Quality units at different levels of the organization provide specific support, promote quality awareness, assume guardianship and audit the system.
Quality departments monitor operations against agreed standards and must intervene in case of non-conformity.
Quality policy and principles, the mandatory standards and the recommended tools for implementation are laid down in the Nestlé Quality System that is
applicable throughout the group. Further directions are given through instructions, norms and guidelines, often specific to a product.
Our business products, such as raw material producers, packaging suppliers, contract manufacturers and distributors are expected to share our concern
for Quality. They too must set up an adequate quality system, so as to meet our requirements consistently.
Every function and department in the company as well as our business partners must share the quality efforts.

Quality is made by people

Adequate equipment, procedures and systems are needed to make Quality; so are involved and dedicated people. Each and every Nestlé employee
must do his best to provide quality products and services.

Training and teamwork are crucial to the successful implementation of high quality standards. Continuous training ensures that everyone understands
his tasks and has the necessary skills to carry them out. Teamwork allows us to achieve results that are greater than the sum of individual efforts.
We motivate employees by demonstrating management commitment to Quality, by setting challenging goals and by giving them responsibility and
recognition. It is through employee involvement that goals and targets can be achieved in the shortest time. Quality must be a way of life for everyone in
the company.

Quality is action

Quality is the result of deliberate action. It is the responsibility of senior managers to communicate the quality objectives and to provide the resources
necessary for their implementation. It is then up to all employees to make Quality happen throughout the company. Progress is followed by listening to
our customers and by measuring our performance. Shortcomings and mistakes must be analyzed and corrected. Problems must be anticipated and
prevented before they occur. We also must identify and take advantage of opportunities.
To stand still is to fall behind. So we must strive for continuous improvement in every area. It is through many small improvements as well as through
major breakthroughs that we will achieve excellence.

SALES STRATEGY OF NESTLE PURE LIFE WATER:

The sales strategy which Nestle adopted for Pure Life water is Availability & Visibility. To increase sales and gain profit the company has to provide
proper supply of product in the market. All the time company remains busy to make the availability of their product in the market. In departmental stores
and shops the Pure Life Water is so placed that it is visible for the customers.

NESTLE PURE LIFE DRINKING WATER

SALES PROMOTION STRATEGY:

 Personal Selling: A direct Vendor Selling Activity was coordinated and carried out during the summer months of June, July, and August
1999 in Lahore. A team of vendors, clad in branded T-shirts, caps and jackets, sold chilled 0.5 liter bottles to travelling customers on all major
intersections. The brand got great mileage out of this innovative idea of personal selling in terms of brand awareness, paid trial, image as
well as real sales.

 Publicity: Nestle Pure Life was launched on 14 December, 1998 in Karachi with a huge amount of enthusiasm and positive response shown
by the locals. The successful story of its launch was printed in all the local newspapers the next day. This greatly helped in creating
awareness of the brand and gave its introduction a good start.

 Sales Promotion: Specific promotions of Nestle Pure Life were arranged in some of the key outlets of Lahore. Elaborate shelf space was
acquired for product display and specially designed POS material was extensively used to promote sales. On a 12-bottle purchase of 1.5 ml,
one 1.5 ml bottle was offered free to consumers. Similarly on a 6-bottle purchase of 1.5 ml, one 0.5 ml bottle was offered free. Regarding
trade promotion, the retailer was also given an additional discount of 4 % during this sales promotion. Not only did the sales of Nestle Pure
Life grow tremendously during the promotion, these continued at a higher pace even after it was over.
Product sampling and sticker sampling activities were carried out in Murree in summer of 1999. Nestle marketing team has also undertaken a
major education campaign on water use and its importance in daily life. Mothers of school children were sent an invitation to attend a Water Show
demonstrating the benefits of safe water and were asked to fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire refined the team's knowledge of consumer
perceptions. At the end of the show, visitors received a promotional kit offering a chance to sample Nestle Pure Life and opportunity to enter a photo
contest on the theme “Nestle Pure Life and You.” The contest offered 10,000 rupees in prize money. This helped boost the brand's image in the minds
of consumers. Another contest took place in October 2001by the name of “Cricket Hangama.” This contest provided a chance to win a thousand of
tickets, signature posters, VIP Tickets, and a chance to dine with the cricket stars. Besides this, Nestle Pure Life also sponsored the following events: a
high profile, national level hockey match played at Ayub Stadium, Quetta on April 18,2003 and a cycle race on March 9, 2000 in collaboration with the
Baluchistan Cycle Association.
