Today, a lot of customers are starting to become more health conscious and now Frito Lays may be lacking in their ‘power sellers’ such as Doritos however they are continuing to enhance Frito Lays sales by buying Sunchips instead. The alternative to the issue would be to create a new flavor to existing products. This could have been done by making Doritos a whole new line instead of creating a different chip with a different title. This would not be as effective because customers already have a sense of what the original product should taste like, and if the new chip wasn’t similar in taste by making it multi-grain the new product flavor would not get the sales it would prefer to see. The case states that they only placed this new product in a small town for a test market.
Economically CP and Tyson are extremely accomplished, efficiently mass producing an abundance of chicken. For example, Tyson is one of the largest chicken producers in the United States (Bourgarel, 2005). The
Saxonville Sausage Company is experiencing a decline in revenue and in order to rise to a national category leader that has products in every major grocery account in the US they need a strong and feasible positioning plan. In order to develop a national Italian sausage brand they should continue with the Vivo brand name to help establish brand equity. The Family Connection theme and concept offered in Exhibit 8 will reinforce the family aspect the company is striving for. Exhibit 2, The Vivo 2005 Sales Performance sheet, shows that the Mild and Hot 24.41 oz links out sell all other flavors and sizes making almost 75% of the sales volume. I think they should cut the Vivio Italian Hot Sausage Ground 14 oz and Vivio Italian Pepper Sausage Link 14.9 oz since the sales volume for both is considerably lower than the other flavors/sizes and introduce other flavor varieties such as those mentioned in Exhibit 10.
Current Situation: Saxonville sausage is a 70 year old privately held company with revenue of $1.5 billion. The company produced pork sausage products, the main products being bratwurst and breakfast sausage which accounted for 70% and 20% of the revenue respectively. An Italian sausage named Vivio is also a product, which accounted for 5% of the revenue of the company. Since, 2004 sales of both bratwurst and breakfast category across all companies had been flat. In Saxonville, bratwurst revenues had been constant but there was fall in revenue of breakfast sausage.
(Laudon C Kenneth, 2012) Domino’s Strategy to Improve Customer Service Domino's, is the recognized world leader in pizza delivery operating a network of company-owned and franchise-owned stores in the United States and international markets. “Domino's started out small – with just one store in 1960.

The law proposed by France in making the fast-food companies to either advertise with healthy food messages or be taxed by 1.5% on their ad budget was a bold but a very reasonable move. This can eventually make the food companies be more aware and cautious on their products that could lead a way in creating more sensible contents not only in advertising but also in their product developments. A more sensible and vigilant McDonald’s was a result of this proposition. As it turned out, McDonald’s developed and created healthier food choices for their
Use the Boston consulting group matrix to analyze fast eater product portfolio ii) Both burger roles and fried potatoes are in decline, this means that they either need be remarketed in order to keep their market share higher and prevent the decline, also called an extension strategy or they can be left to become dogs. Because of the rapidly falling profitability of the fried potatoes they would be regarded as being closer to dog than Burger rolls. Toasted bacon sandwich provides a constant flow of capital to Fast eaters, and shows no signs of declining, It is a cash cow and the capital it generates can be used to try and save dogs, or more likely used to inject capital into stars or problem children. Cheese and tomato pizza and chicken roles seem to have been ill-advised ventures, with little demand for either of them and almost no sign of growth they would be regarded as dogs. 2) Fast Eater should market a new healthy sandwich, with low calories and carbohydrate count.
