5. Product Lifecycle

There are four stages of product life cycle. In the particular business sector, every

company has faced the product life cycle (introduction, growth, maturity, and decline

Stages). That are to manage the life cycle in the particular product.

Figure 1

Introduction Stage:

In this stage, the company has launched new product in the market. The product is going to

introduction phrase. The Product is new, market is new and the consumer is going to test the

new product. That means sales are low, although the product will be increasing. The company

will spend more and more budget in research and development. In the contest of DNPL,

Laldantmanjan (product of DNPL) is in introduction phrase.

Growth Stage:

In this stage, because company start to get the benefit, from the economic scale of production.

Getting per unit cost of production low. So that profit margin is high. If maintain the level of profit

margin is constrained, company to invest a lot of money in promotional activities. Dabur fruit

juice and Dabur glucose are the growth stage product of DNPL.

7
Maturity Stage:

During this period, the product is established and market share built up in the potential market

area. In this stage, company maintain the market share of the product it needs more budget to

undertake market share from the competitors. And they need to product improvements and

modifications of the production process which give the competitive advantage. Dabur honey is

the maturity stage product.

share decline. In the market, a lot of substitute product will be available. Consumer are

searching for a different type of product and profit is decline too. In that Condition, Company will

make less expensive production method. Daburhosmola Candy is decline stage product of

DNPL (Rodrigue, J Dr., 2015).

6. Market segmentation

Market segmentation is the process of dividing the broad market into small subgroup on the

basis of age, gender, demography and so on. Market segmentation focuses on the common

need and wants of people. Market segmentation is the major issues of marketing strategy, but it

directly depends upon human perception, feelings about goods. Now we are in 21st century, it is

the age of globalization. A Market becomes complicated and every organization faces

competition to establish in the market. Dabur Nepal Pvt Ltd also try to segment their market very

well. There are many competitors of Dabur Nepal in Nepal like Chaudhary Group, Khetan group

who produce the same product.Dabur Nepal divided their market into different subtitles they are

basically focused on the large amount of people who lives in Tarai belt of Nepal. Dabur Nepal

8
Pvt Ltd also tries to separate their market into the different aspect.Generally there are four types

of market segmentation (marketingflexibility.com)

Geographic segmentation

Geographic segmentation is one of the types of market segmentation which separates the

market in different geographical boundaries. In Nepal, there are different zones and district as

well as Himalaya, Mountain and Tarai areas. Dabur Nepal divided their market area into

different zones and District in Nepal. Himalaya zone is very cold and they are demand

Chabanparas so Dabur group focus on Himalaya area for the different product which helps

people save from cold. Moreover, Tarai belt is very hot areas of Nepal people demand the large

amount of cold drinks and juice. Dabur Nepal Pvt Ltd separated Tarai area for real juice

(Dabur.com/nepal)

Demographic segmentation

Market divided into different sub-target group on the basis of the population including age,

gender, sex and income. Dabur Nepal Ltd produce different product giving Emphasis on age,

sex, gender and various income level of people.AS examples they focus on Horlicks and

Chawanparash for old and child people as well as give priority to Adult make real juice.They

normally segment the market on the basis of demography (Dabur.com/nepal).

Psychographic segmentation

Psychographic segmentation is another type of market segment on the basis of people lifestyle,

belief, and norms. Dabur Nepal Pvt Ltd practically involve this segmentation of the market.

People prefer these goods which give different looks and attitude and they only accept those

goods which improve their lifestyle so DNPL give high priority to this goods and segment the

market very well (Dabur.com/nepal)

9
Behavioral segmentation

This market segmentation separates the market by the consumers behavior which means that

market divided on the basis of buying and shopping behavior of customers.DNPL provided the

different option like online shopping, direct shopping from the store. Costumers of DNPL

product of food and beverage prefer buying these goods directly from the whole seller so DNPL

focus on whole selling activities(Dabur.com/nepal)

7.Marketing mix (4ps of Dabur Nepal Pvt. Ltd)

The marketing mix is the most important part of marketing. It is the combination of product,

place, price and promotion.Marketing mix is like the plan and makes a proper ways how

organization sell their product.Marketing mix is the best terms of marketing. The company went

to lunch the product and selling this in the high range. First of all, the company produce one

product and make a plan where to sell, how much cost will be better for this product and what is

the best option for promotion (Marketingteacher.com).

DNPL also create their own marketing mix and try to generate their own price, proper area for

sell, the feature of the goods and adverting media for promotion. Food and beverage product of

DNPL are real juice, Horlicks, Chabenparash, Dabur honey and glucose biscuits has their own

price, typical product, the market area and having different advertising. Furthermore, the

marketing mix of DNBL describe as follow

10
Product:

Dabur Nepal Pvt Ltd want to grab the opportunities of the huge markets and produce the

different product.They can produce hajmola in the pouch and small pack for easy to bring

everywhere.

Price:

DNPL has their own price and they are very careful about the price. People of Nepal is not

prefer the high amount for a single product so Dabur Nepal establish the reasonable price for

the product. There are many competitors in the market of food and beverage so that price is

becoming the serious matter for the company.

Place:

The Place is the important component of the marketing mix which makes sure where to sell the

product. DNBL create the strategy for the place. Nepal is the landlocked country so there are

three major areas in Nepal Himalaya range, Mountainous area, and Tarai zone.DNPL different

area

Promotion:

An effective advertisement makes easy to sell the product .promotion is also the most important

factors of marketing.DNPL use television, newspaper and hoarding board .when people watch

the advertize then they are ready to buy the product. DNPL use the actors to make their

advertiser effective. People ready to buy the product if they watch the advertize it hit in their

mind directly.

food beverage, herbal and health care product. Competition is the important factor while the

company decided product pricing. If the company does not aspect any competition from the

try to give the product in cheaper price to costumers. Similarly, Unilever and Coca-Cola is

another competitor. DNPL get the threats and challenges from competitors and also try to avoid

threats from competitors. SWAT analysis is the main techniques to solve the competition

problems.

forwarding to the sales agent then after goods are supplied to the number of stockiest, or

wholesaler. From wholesalers or distributors finally goods supply to the number of retailers. A
