PRODUCT

Product

“Product means the goods-and-services combination the company offers to the target market.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 53) As Tastys trail mix  the only product we offer is simply trail mix . We would eventually expand into more products such as other related snack products like flavored chips and candy , etc. But for now it is essential to build a strong brand and following before expanding. It can cause a brand major problems to expand too quickly. “It holds that the four Ps concept takes the seller’s view of the market, not the buyer’s view.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 54) This is something we as a brand plan to embody to further expand our brand and to make this be known as a quality brand to our consumers. 

DISTURBUTION

   Distribution or “Place” is a huge part of getting this Tastys brand out there. “Place includes company activities that make the product available to target consumers.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 53) For Tatsys I think we would strictly keep this to just chile and Las Vegas. I think these are definitely two markets that would be a good starting point and we have roots in both places. Las Vegas is already huge in the food industry so it would be a good place to start out here. I definitely think we would be held In grocery stores such as Smiths  and be carried in many gas stations. Since we are in Vegas we could use the food scene to our advantage and get them to use some of our products even if we have to give it to them for free to start.”The issue is not whether there should be four, six, or ten Ps so much as what framework is most helpful in designing integrated marketing programs.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg.54) When identifying these 4 P’s we have covered all our bases for Tatsys trail mix to get it off the ground. Each plays an important role such as distribution. 

IMPLEMENTATIUON EVALUATION CONTROL

   “Marketing implementation the process that turns marketing strategies and plans into marketing actions in order to accomplish strategic marketing objectives.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 57) This is the make or break part for Tatsys.Simply put you can have the greatest marketing strategy in the world but it all comes down to how you implement it that depends on it being successful or not. “In an increasingly connected world, people at all levels of the marketing system must work together to implement marketing strategies and plans.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 57) TheTastys brand will do this by constantly meeting with all departments to make sure we are all on the same page working towards the same goal. It starts with the CEO and goes all the way down to the distributors to even the stores we are being carried in. This is the part of the business in which team work is vital to our success and Tasty will work to make sure daily we are all on the same page. 

SWOT ANALYSIS

“Managing the marketing function begins with a complete analysis of the company’s situation.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 54) At Tastys we know this is an important part of building a successful brand. For us we feel the strengths of our company are the fact that we are made in the U.S. and are a small brand that doesn't manufacture tons of products. However at the same time the size of our company could prove to be a weakness later on down the road in terms of manufacture pricing and distribution. These are only internal factors there are also external factors such as: “Opportunities are favorable factors or trends in the external environment that the company may be able to exploit to its advantage.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 54) I think this is very favorable for our company because the trend now a days is most people just want value. A quality product they can get and not have to break the bank which is what Tasty does. The threats to our company are definitely just the other competitors with a price point close to ours. It’s hard to stand out on a shelf next to so many other choices. 

OBLECTIVES

An objective is defined as dealing with facts without allowing personal feelings to confuse them. “The company needs to turn its mission into detailed supporting objectives for each level of management.” (Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 40)  Tastys mission is simple and so our objectives should be too. From a business standpoint it’s easy to say we have to set sales objectives but to our brand it’s more than just having sales. Instead our objective is simply to create a brand people stand by and trust. A brand made in America that people can be proud to buy. “These goals then become the company’s current marketing objectives.” (Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 42) This all ties to the fact that at Tastysa our objectives can’t be put into terms of money because we don’t seek to make tons of profits as our main objective. Our objective is to be a a reliable brand to people.
