Identifying prospective distributors in Russia for two products
|
| Completion: |
2009 - 09 |
| Target markets: |
RU |
| Objective: |
A U.S. marketing services firm was looking to export two different lines of products to Russia - non-alcoholic beer and dried fruits. The company's manager was travelling to Russia to participate in the World Food show in Moscow on September 15-18, 2009 and prior to the show, she requested our help in identifying distributors for both product lines. |
| Results: |
We pre-selected and profiled 17 and 16 entities in the beer and dried fruits segments respectively. The initial overview was not qualified in terms of companies' interest in a new supplier. In our report, we strongly recommended the client to use our follow-up services to approach the selected companies and screen and profile them further, since business communication in Russia is complex and requires local language command. Initial approach has to be done by phone, and getting answers and achieving correct evaluation of companies' interest requires good knowledge of the local business customs and environment. Approaching companies via email-only does not work in Russia! If a company requests receiving an e-mail initially, a phone call must always follow to confirm the e-mail was received by the appropriate manager, and later another call has to be made to obtain feedback. |

Exploring opportunities for a bagel specialist in the Czech market
|
| Completion: |
2006 - 08 |
| Target markets: |
CZ |
| Objective: |
Our U.S. client wished to explore opportunities and conditions of exporting bagel producing know-how, frozen bagels and/or cream cheese into the Czech Republic, specifically looking at the operator of Bohemia Bagel stores in Prague as a prospective partner and customer. EasyLink was requested to identify tariffs and duties, calculate landed cost for client's products and provide information on documentation used. We were also asked to screen and carry out interviews with distributors and representatives as well as due diligence. |
| Results: |
The consultant met with the prospective partner and customer to discuss the bagel business, pricing structures, procurement of bagels and specific opportunities for partnership. The client was provided with meeting notes as well as summary of perceived potential. Further, the consultant communicated with shipping companies to obtain their quotes to be able to calculate the landed cost for sea (20-foot refrigerated container) and air shipment. The client was also provided with import duties and VAT. The landed cost we calculated (purchasing cost for local distributor/industrial buyer) was actually higher than even the top end of the current range of retail prices, and the client was informed that unless their ex-work price can be significantly reduced, business potential is probably rather limited for direct exports. Therefore, we recommended exploring other alternatives of cooperation, such as sale or lease of know-how, i.e. local production under a license agreement or providing a professional training package on commercial basis to help local firms improve their own production quality. |

| Target markets: |
CZ |
| Objective: |
EasyLink was commissioned to carry out a series of tasks (market research, distributor assessment, matchmaking, focus group and additional "smaller" market studies) to assist the client in entering the Czech market. |
| Results: |
Our almost 50-page report provided a very detailed description of the Czech juice market (which had been the fastest growing food product category in hypermarkets, supermarkets and independent retail stores, as the consumption of juices and nectars doubled from mid-1990s to mid-2000s, reaching 260 litters per capita in 2004). This report addressed for instance behaviour of Czech customers, juice market structure and trends, competitive analysis of brands, product assortment (in the Czech Republic, orange juices enjoy more popularity than apple juices, whereas most EU countries show a more balanced relationship between these two types), packaging and price positioning, distribution structure including price structure along the distribution chain, and marketing activities. Moreover, we prepared detailed profiles of the top seven suppliers. During the work on this project EasyLink's consulting team carried out a number of thorough checks in selected stores to analyse placement and extent of promotion of juices and to analyse prices and product packaging and their size. As another step in the market assistance process we run a focus group where selected juices were tasted and evaluated by respondents. In addition, we prepared two shorter, yet detailed studies, of the mineral water and canned vegetable products and ketchups markets (addressing e.g. leading brands, shelf display structure space, packaging types and volumes). The studies were followed by selection of prospective distribution partners and preparation of a distributor scorecard that ranked the leading 6 prospects according to preset criteria (compatible product portfolio, interest in partnership with the client, presence in the HORECA sector, and market power). |

Additionally, EasyLink also approached a number of independent wholesalers and distributors for the horeca sector and independent food stores to further develop nationwide distribution coverage. |

Preparing an overview of the Czech and Slovak food retail sectors
|
| Completion: |
2004 - |
| Target markets: |
CZ |
| Objective: |
Our repeat-business client requested an overview of the food retail sector that could be used as promotional material for SIAL Paris, the biggest food industry trade fair in Europe in 2004. |
| Results: |
Our analysis highlighted that the structure of the Czech and Slovak food retail market has changed dramatically since mid -1990's (in 1996, there were only two hypermarkets in the Czech Republic!), small and independent stores have lost their market shares, and the market had become dominated by international hypermarket chains that offer lower prices, wider selection, longer hours of operation etc. In 2003, hypermarkets were the main shopping place for FMCG for 37% of Czech shoppers (compared to Hungary - 29% of shoppers, Poland - 15% and Slovakia - 14%). In 2004, shoppers in Slovakia were still more likely to shop for groceries at their local store with 1 or 2 cash registers or supermarket (29% and 28% of shoppers respectively) rather than a hypermarket (14%) due to the lack of larger stores in many parts of the country. |
