A: Good morning, I'm A, the director of marketing. Thanks for coming to the
meeting today.
B: Hello A, I'm B, the production manager. It's nice to meet you.
A: Nice to meet you too. So let's get straight to the topic today. Recently, the
company has seen a significant drop in profits since the number of sales didn't
seem to be positive in the last 6 months. You've probably known it, right?
B: Yes, I did know about it. After some careful research, I've concluded some
main reasons. First of all, we don't offer a very wide range of flavors and our
packaging is not very exciting. Therefore, we ought to make more new, exciting,
and health-conscious products. What is more, it's the lack of customer access. This
means that we should expand the outlets to sell our products.
A: I completely agree. We should also take a look at our equipment. It needs
upgrading, especially the fleet of trucks. Besides, our prices are beginning to look
rather high.
B: I agree with you, and we should consider environmental issues too. It
would be great to do more for the environment. For example, recycle our
containers, take the fat out of our waste products then give pure water to local
communities.
A: Okay I think that's enough. Let's move to the next part. Now we have to
pick out the most efficient investment plan. The cost must be limited to 3$ million
and our goal is to solve our current problems and enable Dino Conti to become a
competitive international business.
B: I would recommend buying out our biggest competitor, Tutti Frutti Ice
Cream. After the buyout, we will be the biggest ice cream company in the
Californian market, and number two in the US as a whole. With the buyout, we can
enter the Chinese market. Tutti Frutti already manufacturers in China. We will move
most of our production to -Tutti Frutti 's factories in the US and China. Their
equipment is more modern than ours. This corresponds to our main objective: to
become a competitive international business. What do you think?
A: That's amazing. I'm thinking about the next step. Increase our advertising
budget. Following the buyout, we will advertise all our products in most markets
under the Dino Conti brand. A big campaign will increase awareness of our products
in parts of the US where we are not well-known. In Asia, we will sell under the Tutti
Frutti brand, as consumers know this brand there. Bill Kingsley will choose a new
advertising agency in time for new campaigns to begin after the buyout is
complete.
B: The total cost of the two plans is about $2,5M. That's well fit our budget.
A: That's awesome. I think that's all for today. We'll set another day to discuss
the plans in more detail. Thank you so much. See you soon.
B: Yes thank you.
