A. INTRODUCTION
This article addresses the media plan and marketing strategy for the healthy food product
range offered by Acecook.
B. BODY
Task 1: Marketing plan
I. Executive Summary
Acecook Vietnam opened in 1995. Acecook Vietnam is recognized as the premier quick food
company in Vietnam by agencies, the media, and customers (Anon, 2019). The vision of
Acecook aspires to be Vietnam's best food maker with globalization-ready management.
Acecook Vietnam's 51.5% market share is the result of its long-standing market presence
and product diversification strategy (VnExpress, 2019). Acecook's mission in the Vietnamese
instant noodle sector is to provide health-safety-peace of mind. Acecook opened 11 new
factories in Vietnam utilizing Japanese technology.
Acecook develops a range of low-calorie and low-fat noodles that appeal to the majority of
city people' preferences as their knowledge of healthy eating grows. The Marketing
department of Acecook developed a promotion strategy to ensure that the product marketing
goes according to schedule. The plan comprises an analysis of the retail market for healthy
noodle products as well as the identification of its strengths and potential in order to develop
the most effective marketing approach. In addition, the plan contains the action plan, budget,
and control measures for Acecook (Acecook, 2021).
fried, decreasing calories and fat and making them acceptable for consumers who must use
healthy product lines.
3. Macro environment
3.1 Political factor
Vietnam's political stability and growth policies provide investors with an overview of the
market and stimulate firm output (cite). This is a huge advantage for manufacturers such as
Acecook, allowing them to increase production and business and increase their market
share for new noodle products.
4. Market analysis
Vietnam is the nation with the third highest demand for instant noodles in the world,
according to the World Instant Noodles Association (WINA). According to a report conducted
by market research company Nielsen Vietnam, Vietnam's overall consumption of instant
noodles would exceed 7 billion packets in 2020, a 67% rise. The onset of the Covid-19
disease has kept individuals confined to their homes, thus they prefer to stockpile dry food
for an extended period of time.
5. Competitors
The instant noodle industry is the most dynamic and competitive among FMCG markets.
There are over 50 firms now making instant noodles, including local and international
businesses (Vietdata, 2021). Acecook's primary rivals on the market are Masan and Asia
Food; together, these three companies account for 80% of the instant noodle industry.
(Đông, 2021)
6. Acecook Company
products has the same price range from 4,000 to 11,000, suitable for the income of many
people. (Chien, 2021)
2. Weakness
In the era of information technology advancement, customers' buying preferences are
progressively migrating to e-commerce sites like Shopee, Lazada, and... However, Acecook
has only supplied via stores and not directly on exchanges. On this internet selling platform,
rivals such as Vifon have a direct distribution route. Another issue of Acecook is that the
company's product packaging remains unchanged for many years. This is damaging to the
firm, since noodles brands such as Masan and Asia Food are steadily encouraging the
creation of customer-attractive product packaging. (Nien, 2018)
3. Opportunity
People often buy in convenience supermarkets and stores. Acecook has a chance if its
products are widely sold. Instant noodle consumption in Vietnam is huge. Vietnam has 50
instant noodle enterprises with a 20 to 25% growth rate and 7 billion packets produced. At
the same time, people began to prioritize their health. Acecook may advertise new baked
noodle products to consumers since they are reduced in calories and fat, in line with
consumer expectations.
4. Threat
In order to increase market share, competitors often use novel advertising strategies. There
is intense rivalry as an increasing number of businesses join the industry. Furthermore,
Vietnam is a prospective market for instant noodle manufacturing and trade, therefore many
enterprises want to join it. This makes the instant noodle industry more competitive than
ever.
2. Marketing objectives
Objective 1: Increased the number of people visiting Ace cook’s manufacture to 1000
within 2 months, from 01/07/2022 to 01/09/2022
Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-bond
2. Targeting
Concentrated marketing targets a certain market segment (Kotler and Armstrong, 2017).
Acecook will concentrate on promoting organic vegetable noodles in Vietnam's large cities
for two reasons. First, city dwellers are often too busy to cook meals. Their monthly salary is
about 15,000,000 VND, enough to dine out often. Organic instant noodles fulfill convenience
and health standards. Second, urban inhabitants are 30% more worried about their daily
food consumption than rural residents (Boya et al., 2012).
Acecook can realize its goal and purpose with a focused marketing plan.
3. Positioning map
Acecook aspires to supply clients with culinary items of superior quality that promote their
health, safety, and tranquility. The newly introduced healthy noodle product range is
designed for health-conscious consumers. All of Acecook's rivals produce noodle products
that are suited for clients that prioritize health and safety. Masan is expensive and of good
quality, but Vifon and Miliket are inexpensive and of comparable quality. Acecook offers
inexpensive, high-quality products.
4. Marketing Mix
4.1 Product
Because the noodles are baked rather than fried, the new product will be considered a
healthier alternative. The new noodle product will be consistent with the brand's values and
positioning, while catering to health-conscious consumers. Vitamins B1, B2, and B6 are
abundant in a packet of noodles that contains this nutrient-rich product. The net weight per
package of the product is 75 grams. The product's design is simple, yet it is nevertheless
eye-catching and consistent with the Acecook brand. The products are wrapped in
biodegradable and environmentally friendly paper bags.
4.2 Price
With the newly introduced product range, Acecook adopts a cost-plus pricing strategy that
focuses only on the cost of production. The price of a 75g box of noodles produced by the
company is 3,000 VND, and the company desires a 3,000 VND profit. Therefore, the firm will
charge 6,000 VND for one package of noodles with a net weight of 75 grams.
4.3 Place
The new noodle product is a consumer product for the food and beverage business, thus
attention must be paid to the national marketing and distribution system. First, Acecook must
implement a new noodle distribution plan for big supermarkets like Aeon Mall and Mega
Market, as well as smaller supermarkets and convenience shops like Winmart and Circle K.
Important for marketing Acecook's image and new noodle products to customers are shops.
In addition, Acecook may launch new noodle products through e-commerce platforms such
Shopee, Lazada, and... This is a possible future distribution method for long-term growth.
4.4 Promotion
Acecook must design and produce banners to market the new noodle product in strongly
crowded areas. Billboards at the city's hub. Acecook must also market the new product with
a promotional video. It's shown on VTV1, VTV3, HTV7, and HTV9 and promoted on Youtube
and TikTok. Acecook engages KOLs in the food field who are popular with young people to
sell the new noodle product to improve brand awareness.
4.5 People
Acecook selects workers who are extremely adept of assessing market tactics and
consumer preferences, and who are able to develop effective marketing plans. Acecook
should teach staff in areas with tight ties to one another, such as marketing and sales.
