 This launch plan has been made after extensive research, competitor analysis and consumer connect processes to browse the behavior of consumers and competitors
The vision of the brand is very clear from the start and that is to dominate the bread industry and sustain the brand through continuous innovation and quality offers A full-fledged trade marketing plan has been made which includes the major decisions regarding the distribution and availability of the product

 A complete 360-degree communication plan has been made to create the awareness and communicate the positioning of the brand. The advertising would be very intense in order to grow aggressively
The main focus is to work aggressively like the team did for Olpers Milk and Omore All the aspects of the brand launch have been covered so that the brand become successful not only in the short-term but also sustain its growth in the long-run

Engro Foods Limited was officially launched as a fully owned subsidiary of Engro in 2004. Using dairy as a stepping stone to enter into the food business, the Company has established state-of-the-art processing units in Sukkur and Sahiwal, along with an ice cream production facility in Sahiwal. Top quality brands like Olpers, Olwell, Tarang, Omore and Owsum have been successfully launched under the helm of Companys dairy products. To support these brands and their highest standards of quality, Engro Foods has invested heavily in milk processing and milk collection infrastructure. After the success of our dairy products, to which our customers testify, Engro Foods now plans to venture beyond the dairy sector. 2011 will also see the beginning of sales from its own rice processing plant. With an acquisition of Al Safa a fast growing and established Halal meat brand Engro Foods is now venturing into North American market starting from Halal Foods category. The new organization, Engro Foods Canada Ltd. with a subsidiary Engro Foods USA, LLC, intends to aggressively grow the business in this market. With the vision of Elevating Consumer Delight Worldwide, Companys signifcant focus will be towards the global operations in the years to come.

Engro foods top brands are Olpers, Tarang,

Olwell, Omore and Owsum and they all

belong to its diary product line. Other than these diary products, Engro has not given much attention to other FMCG

products. With the launch of Olpers Bread

Engro Foods will enter a new category with an established brand name.

Category Profile
Bread is one of those products which are bought and consumed on daily basis. It is

consumed in a such a quantity that it is a part of an average individuals daily diet.

Although the quality, taste and prices of bread products vary a lot on the basis of availability and competition yet it is fairly affordable all over. The products included in the bread category involves:

White Bread
Sandwich Slices Milk Bread Burger Buns Bread Rolls Garlic Bread Fruit Bun

White Bread
It is the simplest form of all bread products and among all it is the one which is most consumed. It is mostly consumed during the breakfast time along with egg, butter or else. In Pakistan simple bread is mostly consumed in the form of Packaged Slices of different brands or even if a local bakery is producing it by itself

then it is also consumed at a good consumption rate as

the middle class people are more concerned about less price of FMCG products and a local bakery comparatively sells its own made FMCG products at a lower rate. The most common size of bread which is mostly consumed in Pakistani Sliced Bread market is approximately of 400grams.

Sandwich Slices
Sandwich slices are also made up of flour as the other bread products are made up of but the main purpose that it serves is the sole use of it in sandwiches, because Sandwich requires a different kind of bread design and taste. In Pakistan most of the population accounts for the rural areas where fast

food does not have any importance. People do care much about their regular
routine meals and going out with family in those rural areas is far away from ones thoughts. Secondly due to agriculture and lack of industrialization there is not any concept of light Supper meal during work. So this type of bread is restricted to cities only. It is mostly consumed by the fast food restaurants. Where as an average house hold uses white bread as its substitute.

Milk Bread
This type of bread contains some amount of milk in it and sometimes also some amount of butter. Milk

and butter are added in it to make the bread

healthier. This type of bread is not consumed much as it has the issue of getting dry and spoiled. Due to less rate of consumption this bread is not even produced on large scale as there is a threat of great loss if it is not sold on time. According to a research made a couple of years back the retailers are paid only for the units of bread they sale and rest are returned. And among those returned having a loss of 30 to 35% is normal

Burger Bun
Burger Buns have a different structure with round shape. They serve the purpose of making burgers. Like sandwich slices, Burger Buns are also mostly consumed by the restaurants in large quantities. There is a clear cut difference in Burger Bun and Sandwich Slices which is that a Burger Bun can not be substituted by normal 400 grams bread where as Sandwich can be made with it. Even then the sales of Burger Buns is not as desired. The reason is again less concentration over fast food in rural areas. These Burger Buns sometimes are not sold for 2 to 3 weeks and the retailer has to bear the loss specially in rural areas.

Bread Roll
Although Bread rolls are not offered by all the brands of Bread yet it holds a good importance when it comes to demand to these Bread Rolls. They are almost always served with Chicken Items in fast food restaurants and are mostly consumed in this regard. A bread roll is a piece of bread which usually small and round. It is commonly considered a side dish. Bread rolls are often used in the same way as sandwiches are; they are cut transversely with fillings placed between the two halves. And they are also mostly consumed by fast food restaurants.

Fruit Bun
Fruit buns are a typed of baked bread roll, muffin or loaf made with fruit, fruit

peel, spices and sometimes nuts. The

fruit pieces are added into normal bread in order to give it a sweet taste. They are mostly consumed along with tea in Pakistani culture.

Garlic Bread
Garlic bread is a crisp form of bread. It is

spread with Garlic butter or cheese. It is

French or Italian Bread recipe. In Pakistan Garlic bread is mostly used as a diet or as a starter before meals.

Dawn Bread

Olpers Bread Brand Vision:

 Key Market Trends: TRENDS

Bread is a central component of everyday nutrition in Pakistan, to the extent that it is usually used as a substitute for a fork or spoon while eating. However, instead of baking chapattis (traditional Pakistani bread made of flour and water) consumers now tend to buy readymade bread. Previously, women tended to make bread at home, but, as a result of the increased presence of females in the workplace, many no longer have the time required to do this and instead serve store-bought bread with meals.

 COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Artisanal products accounted for a 76% share of baked goods retail value sales in Pakistan in 2009. The share of sales accounted for by artisanal products saw a two percentage point decline over the review period. Outside artisanal products, Campden & Chorleywood Food Research Association Group accounted for a leading 6% share of retail value sales, followed by Vita Pakistan Plants Ltd with a 5% sales share. Campden & Chorleywood saw the largest gain in retail value sales share of one percentage point in 2009.

 PROSPECTS
Both retail volume and value sales are expected to see CAGRs of 7% over the forecast period. Sales growth will be driven by the expansion of the countrys middle class, which will increasingly migrate away from homemade to storebought baked goods, due to the convenience which they offer.

Trends
With the growing industry and overall economy each year, larger amounts of people are employed in professional careers. Increasing urbanisation dictates a faster pace of life, thus leaving less time for meal preparation at home, particularly when young families live separately from their parents. This impacts their increasing preference to dine outside which saves a lot of time as well as offering families the chance to relax and eat together.

Competitive Landscape
The foodservice channel remains underdeveloped in Pakistan.

 Prospects
Foodservice will see ongoing growth as the economic slowdown will not change consumers convenience and time-saving trends significantly. Generally, the target customers for foodservice are comprised of the highest earners so their quality of life is far beyond the expenses of dining daily at foodservice outlets.

Trends
Despite the changing lifestyles of young consumers, they continued to live with their families and therefore tended to be looked after with regards to nutrition. However, with the economy boost and increasing urbanisation, they sometimes need to move to cities for educational or work purposes, thus making them more responsible for their own meals: impulse snacking is therefore driven by this trend. Traditionally, Pakistanis are used to seeing a great amount of snacks being sold on streets and are used to snacking on their way to work. However, this has changed somewhat and consumers with higher incomes prefer quality and hygienic food, thus packaged snacks are becoming more popular.

 Domain: The brand will compete for growth in the bread market only, with Olpers White bread as the core brand and subsequently expanding within the market.
Objective: Role: Grow aggressively Challenge the major player i.e Dawn bread (55% market share) Keep an increasing trend in the market share 35% to 40% by the end of 5 years Improve perceived quality among target consumers Communicate Olpers Bread differentiating factors extensively To extend Olpers Bread category with new variants.

 Consumer: Those consumers who are conscious and concerned about the nutrition they take-in. Need: Most white breads are not preferred by diet-conscious, health-concerned consumers but the alternative bread types can be tasteless and dry, Olpers Bread , a new bread with the taste and soft texture of white bread but with the fibre of 100% whole wheat bread will meet the needs of these people.

Positioning

1. ROOT STRENGTH Olpers Bread root strength will be a more nutritional, healthy & fresh bread. 2. Competitive Environment: Olpers Bread will operate in the baked goods retail environment, competing with artisanal products as well.
However Olpers Bread will have few major competitors: Dawn Bread: Currently the market leader with a 55% market share, due to Large Distribution Network providing Nation-wide coverage and effective on time delivery and round the clock customer service.

 Bake Parlor: Will be the second big competitor that

Olpers bread will have to face. Bake Parlor roughly has a 29% share of the market, the positioning revolves around a healthy loaf of bread to perform routine duties.

Wonder Bread: is a very small competitor with

12% market share

DAWN. The former is not considered a threat by dawn bread because it only concentrates on a specific niche of the market; and only supplies bread to milk shops and local bakery stores. Controls 4% of the market share

Through our market research we found out that the expectations of people from Olpers are very high because they have complete assurance of its taste and quality. In other words we can say that it is positioned very well in the minds of the consumers 93% of the people said that they are the regular consumers of bread which means that we have a very broad market The key elements that people look for in the bread is freshness and quality which leverage the entry barriers for Olpers because both the freshness and quality of the existing brands are very average

People still look for longer period of freshness for the bread and this insight can be catered by introducing a bread which remains extensively fresh Based on the existing image of Olpers, people are willing to buy its bread instead of any other brand because of their quality association with it So the idea of launching a bread would not be profitable only in the short-term but also in the long-run
