I. BRAND INTRODUCTION
Established in 1857, SEB Group is admired for
being one of the top three global giants in the
home appliances business, the business even
stands at the highest position in global market
share, surpassing two competing brands, Dyson
and Philips. The organization is owning 31
different brands, offer variety of products. With
such a large category, the company now boasts an
impressive record: 1 product being sold for every
12 seconds.
Tefal stands out among the 31 brands thanks to its
popularity for creating the first non-stick pan ever
in 1956. After 60 years of growth and
development, the brand is now considered as the
world's leading cookware manufacturer, with
products sold in more than 120 countries.

According to the brand’s investigation, most consumers will judge the durability of a pan by
their looks. If the pan has a robust, stoned-like look, people will eventually reckon it would
last longer. The reason for this is because consumers are not professions, even if we show
them the material or impressive scientific datsa, they simply just don’t know enough to make
a decision. With customers that pay more attention the the material, they wold prefer
aluminium (60%) and cast-aluminum (40%).
That’s why Unlimited Pan is made of cast aluminim, not only it has a longer lifespan than
common aluminium, it also can be coated with other layers for better safety and durability
without worrying about the aluminium layer worn off over time. There are few extraneous
features, from colour to shape, and the design is sturdy and minimalist. Furthermore, the
distinctive titanium coating makes the pan appear more solid than traditional items.
II.2.2. Accessibility:
Tefla Unlimited Pan has deep shape, which is a trend in cooking community because of its
convenience in cooking many different recipes. A deep shape pan can sometime acts as a pot,
moreover, it prevents food from gushing out of the pan.
With the special coating technology, Unlimited Pan can be washed & cleaned with ease, this
coating also proved 100% safe, containing no harmful chemicals.
About the sizes, the product comes with options: 20cm, 24cm and 28cm width.
Thermo-spot is another proud of Unilimited Pan, this exclusive feature is a rounded shape
red spot in the middle of the pan that turns color when the pan’s surface temperature hot
enough for food to be cooked properly. This feature makes it easy for individuals to track
cooking times for ingredients.
Last but not least, the thermo-fusion base is the technology that will spread the direct heat
evenly applied to the whole pan’s surface, allowing food to be cooked faster and more
evenly.
rise in the kitchenware business has been the expansion of Vietnam's middle class (people with
daily spending of 10-100 USD). More people can afford to spend on cookware with greater costs
in exchange for better quality, which is a huge opportunity for businesses like Tefal.
III.2. Players
Domestic Brands
Take over 80% of market share (Report, 2021), native household goods brands are still top
priorities of Vietnamese people thanks to cheap price tags and long bondings with the brands.
Currently, the market is dominated by big names like Sunhouse or Kangaroo, but minor and
younger names keep on appear, boosting market competition. Customers of Vietnam brands are
mostly middle-class or lower-income; they want pans that aren't too expensive and can be used
for 3-5 years. Local firms also benefit from the fact that consumers in countryside regions are
now switching to Vietnamese-branded products rather than non-brand cooking utensils like
before.
Foreign Brands
Responsible for the rest 20%, there are variety of brands from different countries trying to
penetrate Vietnamese market. These are usually world-renowned enterprises with years of
expertise in industry, rich in resources, and create superior culinary appliances. With that being
said, Vietnamese premium clients that are not only wealthy but also high demanding in
choosing their culinary gear are target customers of foreign companies. Another reason is
because of the lack of local firm that offers cookware in high sectors. International firms that
somewhat successfully secured a position and gain their expected customers in Vietnam are:
- Lock&Lock (Korea)
- Philips (Netherland)
- Panasonic (Japan)
- Sharp (Japan)
“Gian bếp chính là nơi giữ lửa cho gia đình và tạo ra những bữa ăn sum vầy, bổ dưỡng cho cả n
hà. Vì vậy, mình lựa chọn những thiết bị nhà bếp khá đắt khoảng 3-10 triệu/sản phẩm. Tuy vậy,
mình thấy rất xứng đáng với số tiền mà mình bỏ ra.”
- Ms. Đinh Mai Phương (35yrs, Hanoi) -
“Đầu tư cho đồ nhà bếp là lựa chọn đúng đắn nhất của mình bởi vì mình thấy khi nồi chảo có
đẹp, có an toàn, có chống dính, cách nhiệt tốt thì mới khơi dậy niềm vui vào bếp được. Từ khi
có đồ xịn, mình hay nấu ăn ở nhà hơn, chồng con cũng khen những món ăn ngon hơn nhiều. V
à điều đó làm mình thấy vui và hạnh phúc.”

Those are some confessions of Vietnamese housewifes about their spending on cookware (Cúc, 2
022). From that, we can see insights of premium audiences about cookware, that is If the
product can creates long-term reliability in health and quality, customers always willing to
buy it.
+ The most effective platform in attract users to make purchase from the ads: 67% users
feel encouraged to buy on Tiktok eventhough they didn’t plan to do so (News, 2023)
+ On average, advertising on Tiktok increases a brand's following by three times.
+ Tiktok Shop is built inside the application to make product introductions simpler.
+ Very long using time => more chances for promoting
- Assessment: Perhaps the most influential social media platform for starting a marketing
campaign or building brand's images is Tiktok. Although exact statistics regarding the
age group most drawn to Tiktok commercials is lacking, Tefal can undoubtedly view
Tiktok as a key component of their communication efforts.
Youtube
- Users: 63 million
- Objective Users: 73.5% of 68 million adults in Vietnam use YouTube
- Benefit:
+ Variety in Ads duration (5s, 10s, 15s, unskippable, etc.).
+ Since Youtube is a part of Google, business rating on Youtube can boosts reliability on
Google system as well.
- Assessment: Tefal may expand their TA base by creating cooking-related films on
YouTube, as Vietnamese women are particularly interested in this kind of material.
Additionally, Tefal can effectively raise consumer awareness of the launch campaign by
using Youtube Ads.
Official Website
If above social medias are tools for Tefal to promote & interact with the customers, then
the website is a perfect place to introduce the firm, products, its heritage and quality.
Since they usually purchase all cookwares in the same brand, Vietnamese consumers are
beginning to pay more attention to brands’ quality these days. Tefal should create
websites that emphasise values that are significant to users, like product conveniences,
shipping, guarantee, return policies, international certifications, etc. Moreover, website
should acts as an ultimate sale platform with highest reliability and discounts for buyers.
E-Commerce
The popularity of online shopping has grown dramatically in recent years, and companies
are being forced to increase their investment in these platforms due to consumers'
growing desire to make purchases online. As digital touchpoints, websites like Shopee,
Lazada or Tiki should acts as distributor of Tefal’s products that can reach more online
shoppers.

The results of post-campaign analysis and study will indicate whether or not all of the goals can
be achieved. Taking the market, goals, and budget into account. The firm can anticipate a slight
surge in sales and an increase in Tefal's brand awareness in the first month following the
campaign's launch. Detailed figures will be provided after the completion of the specified stages.
