E N D
Product 1 OOPS
Objectives • Profit maximization for the firm over the period of the game • Grow sales and market share • Success in making profit all 9 years and average annual growth of retail sales of 9.44%
Strategy • Initially our strategy was to increase product attributes and price to appeal to creators and managers • After over differentiation of our product we decided to make a product that had a broad appeal
Performance • Average annual retail sales growth of 9.44% • Industry wide average annual retail sales growth of 13.65% • Average annual net contribution growth of 26% • Average annual net profit margin of 13%
Success and Failures • Our firms biggest problem was declining dealer push and brand recognition
Future Strategy • To be successful in the future we need to grow “dealer push” by sales promotion and dealer satisfaction while keeping a product that is appealing across many market segments
Product 2 Zapem
Objectives • Our primary objective in introducing the second product was to increase net contribution for the firm, we also wanted to be the DVC market leader • Highly successful – 40% of total net contribution over last 5 years and 60% of total net contribution over last 3 years
Strategies • Originally we introduced the DVC as cheaply as possible to both have our foot in the market and to steal sales from any other firm that entered the market • As time progressed we developed Zapem to be a major money maker by increasing advertising and product attributes
Performance • Average annual retail sales growth of 104.88% • Average annual retail sales growth of Getem (only competitor) was 70.09% • Average annual net profit margin of 16% • Average market share ($ sales) of 76%
Success and Failures • Our key to success with our DVC brand, Zapem, was our early entry into the market • High brand recognition and willingness to make large production orders also contributed to the success of Zapem
Future Strategy • To ensure future success in the DVC market we should strive to create a broadly appealing product with a markup of 45% - 50% while increasing sales promotion
Combined OOPS and Zapem
Performance • Average combined annual retail sales growth of 14.05% • Industry wide average combined annual retail sales growth of 17.54% • Average annual net contribution growth of 41% • Average annual net profit margin of 14%
