commitment to nutrition. In the 140 years since then, they have expanded around
the world and developed a range of products designed to suit every taste, need
and cultural preference. Their distinctive seal is recognized everywhere as a
guarantee of quality and healthfulness.
Nutrition, quality and convenience remain the keystones of their products and
even as they confront the new century's challenges, they feel it is their duty to
adapt to the changing needs of consumers. Their responsibility does not simply
lie in perfecting the products they develop at their R&D centers spanning four
continents, but the role their products play in making lives well - both for their
consumers and for communities in the countries they serve.

being marketed in much of Europe.

largely in the form of government contracts. To keep up, Nestlé purchased
several existing factories in the United States. By war's end, the Company had
40 factories, and its world production had more than doubled since 1914.
1918-1938
The end of World War I brought with it a crisis for Nestlé. Government contracts
dried up following the cessation of hostilities, and civilian consumers who had
grown accustomed to condensed and powdered milk during the war switched
back to fresh milk when
it became available again. In 1921, the Company recorded its first loss. Nestlé's
management responded quickly, bringing in Swiss banking expert Louis Dapples
to reorganize the Company.
1938-1944
The effects of the onset of World War II were felt immediately by
Nestlé. Profits dropped from $20 million in 1938 to $6 million in 1939.
Neutral Switzerland became increasingly isolated in a Europe at war,
and the Company transferred many of its executives to offices in
Stamford,
The first truly global conflict ended forever the traditional Company structure. To
overcome distribution problems in Europe and Asia, factories were established in
developing countries, particularly in Latin America.
Ironically, World War II helped speed the introduction of the Company's newest
product, Nescafé. After the United States entered the war, Nescafé became a
staple beverage of American servicemen serving in Europe and Asia. Annual
production levels reached one million cases by 1943.
As in World War I, production and sales rose in the wartime economy: Nestlé's
total sales jumped from $100 million in 1938 to $225 million in 1945. As the end
of the war approached, Nestlé executives found themselves unexpectedly
heading up a worldwide coffee concern, as well a company built upon Nestlé's
more traditional businesses.
1944-1975
The close of World War II marked the beginning of the most dynamic phase of
Nestlé's history. Throughout this period, Nestlé's growth was based on its policy
of diversifying within the food sector to meet the needs of consumers. Dozens of
new products were added as growth within the Company accelerated and
outside companies were acquired.
Philosophy of Nestlé
Nestlé‘s philosophy is summed up in four words:
Good Food, Good Life.
In their quest to become the world's leading health, nutrition and wellness
company, they do everything they can to help people live more fulfilling lives.

customer services tradition. Nestle listens to its customers carefully and try to
rectify the product related problems as soon as possible.
Foresight:
At present, the world faces daunting questions about its ability to provide enough
wholesome food for everyone. Malnutrition and poor eating habits are still
serious problems in many developing countries. By 2100, the world's population
will double. Will it be possible to feed a world with so many inhabitants? At
Nestlé, the big picture is all about feeding the world and providing food and
nutrition for an ever-growing population. Our response to this situation is to
intensify research, strive for innovations and improve quality.
Price
Price is the only revenue generating element among the 4’ ps of marketing. Price
can be defined as:
“The amount of money charged for a product or service or the value exchanged
for the benefits of the product or service”
More broadly, Price is the sum of all the values that customers give up in
order to gain the benefits of having or using a product or service. It’s a very
powerful tool at the disposal of an organization to differentiate its offerings.
Pricing strategy:
Nestle brings its customers with its products through distributors. Though nestle
does not involve itself in retail selling but still it provides its customers with the
free home and office delivery facility, but mostly it only go for the wholesale
selling.
DISCOUNTS
Discount is the:
“A straight reduction in price on purchases during a stated period of time”
The discount rate offered to the employees in very high. The main reason behind
the success of nestle is key consider themselves as a family and then change
the price. The discount they offers to their distributors are like 12+1 offer or buy
5000*24bottles and get free dispenser. The discount they give to the customers
is of JUMBO rewards for these brands that they sold directly JUMBO rewards are
basically the points per bottle earned.
Right now it is limited to the jumbo services. When you earn some points then
you can choose different things that are changed after every six months.
“The customers are very much satisfied with our brand and a product, so we
don’t wast time in thinking of discount offers, we focus to expand our brand”
In October 2005, the biggest natural calamity in our history struck Pakistan.
Thousands died and millions were left homeless after a massive earthquake hit
our mountainous northern areas.
In step with the rest of the nation, Nestlé Pakistan responded immediately,
putting its infrastructure and resources to work in the affected areas.
PLACEMENT
Placement : refers to how the product gets to the customer ; for example,
point of sale placement or retailing. This fourth P has also sometimes been
called Place, referring to the channel by which a product or services is sold (e.g.
online vs. retail), which geographic region or industry, to which segment (young
adults, families, business people), etc. also referring to how the environment in
which the product is sold in can affect sales.
COMPANY NETWORK
Nestle is now the world's largest food company. It is present on all five
continents, has an annual turnover of 74.7 billion Swiss francs, runs 509 factories
in 83 countries and employs about 231,000 people the world over. The Company
owes its current status to the pioneering spirit inherited from its founders which
continues to inspire it, to its concern with quality and to its constant search for
new ways of satisfying man's nutritional needs. Wherever possible, it sets up
factories locally, employs personnel from the country concerned and relies on
indigenous raw materials. Its agricultural services provide assistance to improve
the quality and yield of the raw materials it uses. Much attention is devoted to
professional training and to the integration of the Company in its economic and
social environment
NESTLÉ IN PAKISTAN
Headquarters in Lahore, the company operates five production factories. Two of
its factories in Seikhupura and Kbirwala are multi product factories. One factory
in Islamabad and two in Karachi produce bottled water. Through its effective
marketing and a vast sales and distribution network thought out the country, it
ensures that its products are made available to consumers whenever, wherever
and however
Nestle value delivery network:
The Nestle Group is in principle not directly involved in primary production of raw
materials and other food ingredients. In general nestle use locally available raw
materials and purchase them either directly from producers or through existing
trade channels. In Asia, Nestlé’s strategy has been to acquire local companies in
order to form a group of autonomous regional managers who know more about
the culture of the local markets than Americans or Europeans.
Nestlé’s strong
Cash flow and comfortable debt-equity ratio leave it with ample muscle for
takeovers. Recently, Nestlé acquired Indofood,
Indonesia’s largest noodle producer. Their focus will be primarily on expanding
sales in the Indonesian market, and in time will look to export Indonesian food
products to other countries.
Nestlé has employed a wide-area strategy for Asia that involves producing
different products in each country to supply the region with a given product from
one country. For example, Nestlé produces soy milk in Indonesia, coffee
creamers in Thailand, soybean flour in Singapore, candy in Malaysia, and cereal
in the Philippines, all for regional distribution. Milk plant at Kabirwala is the
Nestlé’s world largest milk processing plant. Nestle pays the local milkmen for
the continuous supply of milk to its plant, since Pakistan is the fifth largest milk
producing country.

exceptionally friendly and most cooperative. The decision or we can say the
managerial style of Nestle’ is decentralized, it means that every employee can be
a part of the every decision they take.
SALES STRATEGIES
Real need is required for selling. Nestle products were a real need for the
citizens of Pakistan. The increasing number of diseases because of consumption
of substandard eatables was the time for Nestle to think of its customer’s health.
Government supported the company in launching of Nestle products. It became
easy for Nestle to market its goods.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
Nestle uses indirect distribution channels to bring its products to the
customers Producers→ Distributors→ Retailers→ Consumers. Nestle does
not involve wholesalers in its distribution channel. Nestle products are distributed
to the customers mostly through distributors. They buy the distribution on
contractual bases. Nestle usually do not go for retail selling. Home delivery
service is also provided by Nestle Pure Life. You can buy Nestle Pure Life from
any shop in any area. Nestle uses vertical marketing system. Nestle distributes
its products through the strong supply chain management strategies and efficient
marketing logistics.
Nestle reasons for indirect selling methods:
• Distribution channels already established.
• Nestle uses its capital for further production.
• Too many consumers in a large area; difficult to reach.
• Direct on-selling advantages.
Reasons for bypassing wholesalers:
As stated earlier nestle does not involve wholesalers in its distribution channel,
the reasons are given below:
• Limited storage facilities in Pakistan, since it’s a third world country
here the wholesalers are not well versed to handle products from such a
huge company.
• Retailers' preferences
• Wholesaler cannot promote products successfully
• Nestle’s desire for closer market contact
• Position of power
• Cost of wholesalers' services
• Price stabilisation
• Need for rapid distribution
• Make more money
Nestle has following distribution objectives:
1. To reach the customer and better availability of the product to the
customer
2. To capture more market shares as compare to the competitors.
3. Satisfying the changing needs of market.
NATURE OF PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION
DISTRIBUTION CENTRE
A large highly automated ware house is designed to receive goods from plants
and suppliers, take orders, fill them efficiently and deliver goods to customers as
quickly as possible. Nestle has its distribution centers in Sheikhupura, Karachi,
Lahore and Islamabad. The increasing number of customers is forcing Nestle
Pure Life to increase its distribution centers.
.INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventory management plays an important role in the satisfaction of the
customers. Here Nestle should maintain the delicate balance between carrying to
little inventory and carrying too much. Nestle Pure Life is running successfully
and its difficult for it to maintain its inventory.
TRANSPORTATION
Nestle uses all types of transportation. Usually Shehzore is used for
transportation. Home delivery service is also provided with the same
transportation. Tracks are used for long transportation to minimize the cost.
Triwheelers are used to transport precious water to backward areas.
DISTRIBUTION AND TERMS OF CONTRACT
The distribution is mostly done through the distributors and the agreement is on
contractual bases. The terms and conditions changes with the passage of time
and the amount submitted as the security.
Retail and wholesale selling:
Nestle brings its customers with its products through distributors. Though nestle
does not involve itself in retail selling but still it provides its customers with the
free home and office delivery facility as direct marketing channel. Nestle products
are sold at all types of retail stores which are
1) specialty store
2) department store
3) supermarket
4) convenience store
5) Super store.
6) Chain stores.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Though nestle is an industry giant and doing a successful business around the
world, but still certain measures it should take in Pakistani market are
recommended below:
1) It should sell better quality products in Pakistani market also just
like it sells in first world countries because consumer in Pakistan is much
aware today than it was a decade ago. It would help to rectify the feelings
of discontent that prevail among the Pakistani consumers against nestle.
2) Nestle should bring other flavors in breakfast cereals like fruit and
nuts corn flakes to Pakistan since consumers are becoming more
demanding day by day. Moreover Kellogs is offering a wide range of
breakfast cereals with far better quality.
3) Nestle should introduce its other chocolates like lion and butter
finger in Pakistan, moreover it should also introduce libbys ketchup brand
in Pakistan since ketchup brands available in Pakistan are not of good
quality.
4) Nestle should increase the promotional campaigns magnitude since
strong competitors are takingover the industry especially in dairy products.
5) Nestle should introduce its LC-1 probiotic yoghurt in Pakistan since
people are becoming more health conscious.
