From our own observation, most people of our target market like to watch these TV shows:

2.3.3 Competitors

In Indonesia market, we have no direct competitor because Mi-C is a new product. Mi- C is the only one brand for mineral water. But we can consider milk and energy water as our competitor because they have several things in common. We have same benefit as milk, and the same characteristic as energy water. So our competitors are:

- Milk: Indomilk, Susu Bendera, Dancow, Ultra.

- Energy Water: Mizone, Vitazone.



3. ANALYSIS

  1. Because 73,3% of our target market watch TV at night (7 p.m. to 9p.m.), so we decide to put more TV advertisements in those hours. In the media schedule, we put more advertisements in the peak time.

  1. We place the advertisements in target market’s most favorite TV programs. They are Extravaganza Special Weekend (Trans TV, every Saturday at 7-9 p.m.), Empat Mata (Trans 7, every Friday at 9.30-10.30 p.m.), and American Idol 2007 (Global TV, every Sunday at 7-8.30 p.m.). Empat Mata show with its famous host, Tukul, has been a phenomenon in Indonesia’s TV scene.

  1. When they watch a TV commercial, 63,3% of our respondents pay the most attention to the story or the plot of the advertisement. So we make the plot of our TV commercial interesting and unique. The summary of the plot is: We send the message of how unpractical powder milk can be, so the model takes a long time to make it, until a ghost come and give her a bottle of Mi-C.

  1. Most of our respondents (36,6%) choose horror movie as a kind of movie they have been watched lately. So we choose horror as a supporting theme in our TV commercial. We present a ghost as an extra model, so it would get more attention from the audience.

Our decision to use a ghost as a model also supported by the facts that horror movies are really popular nowadays. Most of the movies that are played in theatre in late 2006 until early 2007 are horrors.

  1. 76,6% of our respondents are busy people. They spend only 30 to sixty minutes of their time from waking up until starting their daily activities to prepare themselves. So, we create Mi-C as a perfect solution for those people. They don’t have to take a long time to make milk for their breakfast.

  1. a. 73,3% of our respondents like to drink milk.

- Most of the people who like to drink milk choose powder milk (50%) and liquid/ready to drink milk (50%). For those who drink powder milk, we can offer them Mi-C so they don’t have to waste their time and energy only for making their milk. Mi-C is so practical, you don’t need to add any water like if you make milk from powder, and you also can carry it everywhere. For those who choose ready-to drink milk, we provide a new option for them. It means that they are a practical person, and they will be suitable for the product’s characteristic.

- 50% of our respondents who like to drink milk spend three to five thousand rupiahs to buy their milk. One bottle of Mi-C will cost Five Thousand rupiahs, so they would just spend the same amount of money to buy it as if they buy the usual milk.

b. There are 26,6% of our respondents who dislike milk.

- Most of the people who don’t like to drink milk (75%) don’t consume calcium supplement to fulfill their bodies’ needs of calcium. It creates an opportunity for Mi-C to help them get their daily need of calcium without drinking any milk.

- 37,7% of the respondents don’t like to drink milk because of its taste, while the other 37,7% feared that milk will make them gain weight, we create Mi-C in a form of a mineral water, and also has two flavors; orange and strawberry. It also has low calories and fat, so they don’t have to worry about gaining weight after drinking the product.

  1. Most people (80%) will be attracted to try a new product which is calcium water. So there is a hope that people will try the new product.

  1. Most of people choose orange and strawberry as their favorite flavors. So we decide to make Mi-C in those two flavors.

  1. 93,3% of our respondents are interested in logo below:

So, we decide it to use it as the product’s logo. We use bright colors to attract our target audience, and cow patterns to represent its calcium content, which usually we get from milk.

  1. Through our own observation, we found that Jalan Sudirman is one of the busiest streets in Jakarta. So we decided to put two of our billboard in the area. First billboard is located near Plaza Semanggi. The second billboard also can be seen from busway’s crossing bridge, where a lot of people walk pass it everyday.

  1. Mi-C has several indirect competitors: -Milk: Indomilk, Susu Bendera, Dancow, Ultra.

-Energy Water: Mizone, Vitazone

We create different advertisement from our competitors
