Sales Strategy
6.1 Product
By the name of “The King of confectionery”, Kinh Do has introduced many
product lines to serve the diverse needs of Vietnamese consumers with the
best quality such as bread, cakes, mooncakes, cookie, salty biscuits, sweet
biscuits, etc.
Among of them, the two of the products made the reputation of Kinh Do are
the two brands: COSY and exclusive mooncakes product line.
For the COSY product line, it has many choices namely COSY Marie
Biscuits, COSY Cream Sandwich Biscuits, COSY Coconut Butter Biscuits,
etc. They are very crisp cakes, soft and sweet taste to satisfy a large number
of consumers in Ho Chi Minh in particular and Vietnam in general.
Notably, in 2015, Kinh Do will focus on a new product line, which is instant
noodles and cooking oil.
6.2 Pricing
Developing and managing the right pricing strategy is a vital condition to
ensure business operations are highly effective. Kinh Do is always able to set
13
Sales Strategy
1. Time-based pricing:
2. Bundle pricing:
Kinh do still maintains strategy that does not cut the price directly in
promotion programs because it can lead customers to negative sentiments
when the price rises again. Instead, making product packs from different
cakes with attractive prices, or carrying out the strategy “Buy 2 get 3”, “Buy
2 get 1“ in order to stimulate purchasing power and increase revenue. This
project will be applied to all products.
3. Personalized pricing:
Kinh Do is considering the project that more creative in shaping of birth cakes, no
longer use the samples in the catalog. Allowing customers to print their images
onto the birth cakes or following the customers’ requirements. The flavors are also
replaced with more diverse savors like corn, mango or green tea, and should
substitute entire traditional sponge cakes for ice-creams. Obviously, depending
upon the season and the level of difficulty, or be easy and much, or less
customers’ requests, the price will be high or low.
6.3 Place
Kinh Do’s products are sold at almost convenient locations of districts in HCMC.
Kinh Do not only sells directly to customers but also distributors or sales teams. A
14
Sales Strategy
Kinh Do also introduces products in supermarkets (markets), and PGs always help
shoppers to choose the appropriate products. Displaying eye-catching products and
advertising near the counters, or at gate of supermarkets (markets) and allowing
consumers to sample. This leads to stimulate purchasing power, and at once, the
brand will be widely promoted thanks to the customers who tried the product and
narrate their relatives or friends.
6.4 Promotion
Promotion is an instrumental factor for any corporation to create excitement
for customers, to assert the quality and unique flavor of the product.
Additionally, the purpose of promotion is to let more customers know and
maintain brand and stores.
It can be said that Kinh Do has done quite good in marketing of products on
channels like television, TV commercials, newspapers, websites, Facebook.
15
Sales Strategy
Kinh Do also has charity funds and campaigns to offer their products that
help the poor and underprivileged children, families in hospitals, orphanages,
etc. This is a fully-humane plan with the aim of creating a great consumers’
sympathy for Kinh Do’s brand.
Last but not least, offering products for sale with preferential prices and good
services to boarding-schools, companies, conferences or events is a task
which is implementing due to its large and stable source of profits will brings
to store.

ADVERTISING $103,200

TRANSPORTING $50,000
PACKAGING $50,000
TOTAL $518,200
Because two products are newly launched to the market so our team is unable to
predict all the components needed in sales forecast. We just can estimate the total
sales and expense. The amount of both products is quite low because it is new and
hard to compete with other popular cooking oil brands in Viet Nam such as Tuong
An, Meizan, Neptune, Simply, Marvela, Cai Lan. The graph below demonstrates
the proportion of consumers used cooking oil brands in Hanoi and HCMC.
18
Sales Strategy
9 COMMUNICATION PLAN
Training sale team the differences between our products and others brands
about price, the quality of products thereby they will persuade the retailers.
19
Sales Strategy
Training them to build trust and maintain long-term good rapport with both
customers and retailers.
-With customers, sale team should make a call to ask he/she about their
satisfactory to our service and products, they also text sms, email marketing for
consumers when having promotional programs as well as frequently visit them.
It’s a good way to caring for customers.
-With retailers, sale team ask them about which products get high/low revenue;
customers’ feedback on products, service.
