The industry volume of Tea whiteners is 10,000 tons every annum while 29% of
the aggregate milk powder industry is milk whiteners
Tetra Pak gauges that drinking milk with tea represents 32% of aggregate milk of
total milk consumption in Pakistan, making this an extremely important focus
area for milk processing companies. Tea whiteners are less costly to produce
compared to packaged milk as it contains vegetable fats instead of animal fat
because of its affordability.

the target market which can relate with Urdu. The Urdu word ( Tarang) is
a depiction of happiness, joy, festivity and a cheerful state of mind.

shows that the target market of Tarang is lower middle class.
Discounts and credit terms are offered to important partners such as key
accounts (Metro, Cosmo etc.) and major distributors. Retailer are not given
any discount even if they take it in bulk quantity.
The pricing strategy employed is value based pricing which is about charging
just the right combination of quality and good service at a fair price.

PLACEMENT:
Engro Foods rely on its distributors for the supply of its products to end
consumers. Tarang reaches the shelves of stores through value delivery
network comprising of distributors, retailers and consumers. For placement of
Tarang, Engro Foods prefer Numeric Distribution over Weighted Distribution.
The distribution strategy is designed in a way to take two things into account:
Maximum Retail Presence & Minimum OOS (Out of Stocks).
Tarang comes under the category of FMCGs, hence its timely supply is very
important.
EFL has divided Pakistan into five regions for this purpose:
Lahore
Karachi
Islamabad
Peshawar
Multan
EFL has outsourced the logistics function. It is carried out by third party that
specializes in supply chain management and provides integrated warehousing
and transportation services throughout Pakistan.

DEMOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION
AGE: 23 years
GENDER: Mostly males
INCOME: lower middle class to lower class(almost 95% of users with
approx. Rs. 25000 monthly income according to our primary research)
EMPLOYEMENT: Blue collar employees
LOCATION: Suburbs
II.
PSYCHOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION
Tarang is focused on towards the work class of Pakistan that buckles down
amid the day and needs to keep their nicotine levels high. They consume a lot
of tea and as they don't earn much, Tarang offers them a low priced in
comparison to different options for milk. This is the class that consumes tea
mostly form the local dhabas and visits the nearby local film houses. Tarang
positions itself for this martket and that why it is the perfect tea whitener.
III.
BEHAVIORAL SEGMENTATION
Tea is matter of daily utilization for Tarang's target market - they are
substantial clients. As per statistical surveying we did for the brand, there were
an expected 74% of such overwhelming clients who drink 2 or more cups of
tea every day out of all tea consumers in karachi, who abide in the edges of
the metropolitan urban communities, and towns. They look to keep their
nicotine levels high to help them get past the day so they are searching for a
whitener that does not make the tea mellow. The target market is not an
exceptionally loyal and can't be depended upon for proceeded with
continuous utilization; they will pursue whatever is shoddy.
4Cs MODEL
I.
COST
Tarang when compared to other is cheap so the one-time cost incurred is quite
low. Also it is the perishable item so it carries the concept of use and throw.
This also means no repeat costs. Earlier described that it is one of the cheapest
liquid tea whiteners available so thats the opportunity cost to the consumer is
minimal. While its availability at all almost general store saves both consumer
efforts and money as they dont have to look for it other nearby stores.
II.
CONVENIENCE
Tarang prime objective is targeting low income earners which it did and is still
doing by making it available at the general (convenient) stores which they are
likely to visit. Other this prices are also set due to the lower disposable income
of the market. Most of its consumers are found in KPK Province, so the supply
of product is very high. Shortages are unlikely to take place. To aware
consumer regarding the availability, prices of the product huge sums are spent
on the flashy advertisements.
III.

COMMUNICATION
Consumers always wants low priced, highly nutritious and easily available
products. This demand is served by tarang as it carries all that a consumer
wants. Tarang is healthy as its ingredients are vegetable fat, milk-solids nonfats and low fats. All of the features portrayed in the advertisements which are
done by its brand ambassador who are highly known and have good
convincing power.
IV.
CONSUMER SOLUTION
One of the steps that Tarang took was setting a forum TALUQ helpline, for
consumers to express their queries, feedbacks and complaints. Also mailing
addresses and website sere that purpose too. Tarang reaches out to its
customers by way of surveys, interviews with distributers and questionnaires.
While frequent advertisement are carried with the special focus on the target
market.
4. SITUATION ANALYSIS
Situation analysis refers to a collection of methods that managers use
to analyze an organization's internal and external environment to understand the
organization's capabilities, customers, and business environment. It includes:
The food processing industry is very large and aggressive: it is not uncommon
for firms inside the industry to do well.
Subsequently, numerous companies enter into market every year trying to
pick up an extent of the profitable market. Fortunately for ENGRO, the
organization has been around in Pakistan for quite a long time and brags a long
history of quality items and customer fulfillment, which has permitted the
organization to acquire a significant share of the market.
It has indicated quickened investment activity in late years through the
dispatch of quality items which shows a long haul commitment to PAKISTAN
and construction of high-tech processing plant to take care of the increasing
consumer demand.
Therefore, new entrants into the industry must endeavor to grab a segment of
Engros piece of the pie to survive. Basically, Engro is continually a target, thus
the risk of new participants is generally low.

Quetta
Consumer income sensitive
Engro Foods has only one dairy farm located in Sukkur; insufficient to meet
the requirements
Relatively less experience in FMCGs as compared to strong competitors
that have been in the industry for decades
No viable plant to produce powdered milk to capture the gap in the
powdered milk sector
The packaging, with its yellow color attracts bees during the summer that
leaves a bad impression on the packaging, making it look dirty. This puts off
the potential new customers
The formula of Tarang has an internal flaw where by it cannot sustain itself
at temperatures higher than 45C and expires. As a result, the company has
to take a lot of expiry return during the summer season
OPPORTUNITIES
Increase penetration into urban cities
Health consciousness of people
Growing dissatisfaction with loose milk and increasing awareness about
Exploit the huge youth niche in the market by portraying a cooler image
of itself
Works closely with rural communities to promote integrated farming and
livestock development as an effort for poverty alleviation and corporate
social responsibility
Rising price of livestock feed causes loose milk to become more expensive
and may lead to increased demand for Tarang
IV.
THREATS
Health consciousness amongst people can take a toll as Trans fats present
in tea whiteners are health damaging
Preference for fresh milk
Strong competitors
Presence of an inflationary economy Due to high return prospects in the
tea whitener industry, new players might enter into the market.
Presence of an inflationary economy
Low purchasing power of people
Customers too much price sensitive and readily switch in case of higher
prices.

PRODUCT
In comparing Tarang with its competitors like Everyday, Teamax and Haleeb
we can conclude that Tarangs brand name and packaging has justified its
meaning of festivity and joy. The main product concept of Tarang has been to
provide taste along with quality and affordability and it has so far been
successful in doing so.
One thing which has to be noted is that Tarang has an edge over its
competitors in price and taste but it just lacks behind a little when it comes to
quality especially in comparison with fresh milk, which usually gives Tarang a
tough time in the market.
Moreover, if we consider the Stock keeping Units (SKUs) so tarang starts off
with 125 ml whereas its major competitors like Everyday starts at 200 ml but
recently Everyday has introduced its sachets which are priced as low as Rs.8
and to Rs.18. This taken was specially taken by Everyday in order to give
Tarang a tough time in the market and to attract its lower and middle income
groups.
II.
PRICE
Since, Tarang targets the lower and middle income groups so it operates in a
price sensitive market. According to statistics collected in 2014 it has been
seen that 95% of Tarang users have monthly income of less than Rs.25000.
Under such market conditions it is quite clear that Tarang has maintained price
levels for its SKUs with the lowest being priced at Rs.10 (125ml) and we can
deduce that the strategy of value based pricing has indeed worked for tarang
in keeping its target market intact despite competition from new and existing
competitors.
When it comes to pricing Tarang faces major competition from Fresh milk but
it has successfully managed to tackle the competition. This is because; there is
very little price difference between a cup of tea made from Tarang and that
made from fresh milk. A consumer believes that he/she gets a similar product
packed safely but priced a little high under the name of Engro Foods when
compared with just open fresh milk.

PROMOTION
As per our surveys we have found that the promotional strategy of this
product is up to the mark and almost every person we ask knew about this
product. 14 out of 15 people came to know about this product through its T.V
advertisements.
Along with T.V advertisements, Tarang sponsors different TV shows like Hero
Bannay ki Tarang and Tarang houseful movies. While Tarang depicts festivity
and joy in its colourful and extravagant TVCs, it is successful to draw the
attention of its target audience. But due to new entrants in the industry and
constant competition from competitiors like Everyday, Tarang needs to alter
its promotional strategy especially the TVCs.
IV.
PLACE
Tarang relies on its distributors and retailers for its delivery to its potential
consumer. From our survey we came to know that Tarang is heavily demanded
in some areas and often the distribution process is slow which makes some of
its SKUs unavailable when demanded.
From this we can deduce that Tarang can be at a possible disadvantage in
comparison to its competitors when it comes to prompt availability. Being a
FMCG it is very important for Tarang to keep a strong check over its
distribution process which is outsourced and done by a third party.
Though the distribution network of Tarang is strong but many retailers
complained that both 125ml and 1litre pack are short in supply and sometime
due to this they dont even turn up for months.

6. CONCLUSION
Tarang, as a fluid tea whitener, confronts extreme direct and indirect
competition. It is, however doing admirably in the growing tea whitener
industry of Pakistan. Its targeting and positioning are the aftereffect of
painstaking market research and corporate technique, which is to a great
extent successful.
Large portions of the outside strengths impacting the tea whitener industry
have suggestions for Tarang, in the form of both threats and opportunities.
