History of biba
( indianretailer.com)
In 1986, Meena Bindra started the company from her home in New Delhi. She took 8000 rupees loan to start a small business. [4][5]
Some years later, Bindra allowed her sons, Sanjay and Siddharth, to help her to manage the business. In 2010, Sanjay left Biba and started his own apparel business,
Seven East.[citation needed]
Biba opened its first standalone store in Mumbai in 2004.[6] Kishore Biyani’s Future Group acquired a 6.5% stake in Biba in 2007.[7]Future group divested from Biba
Apparels in 2013.[8] In 2014, Biba Apparels acquired a minority stake in the designer label Anju Modi. [9]
Biba, in October 2014, launched its own e-commerce portal biba.in, to leverage the country's fast growing e-commerce space.[10] In order to tap the value segment
market and the youth segment of tier 2 and 3 cities, a new line of Indian wear under brand Rangriti was launched by Biba in 2014.[11]

In the start after 2007,30 crores and300crores by 2012
And by 2013 estimated to be 500 crores
Risks and Challenges
Biba has been careful in choosing locations for its stores. Its rental costs are less than 10 percent of sales, and only nine of its stores have shut
down so far, mostly owing to the closure of malls. Maintaining this rent-to-sales ratio will be crucial for the Bindras. “Sub-standard locations
or high-priced leases don’t work,” says Warburg’s Mahadevia.
But Biba is ready to tackle these challenges. Its journey from a house-company in Delhi to a pan-Indian fashion brand is testimony to the
spirit and determination of its founders.

Currently, BIBA earns 15-17% sales from online channel including marketplaces and from their own site. However, from its own site, the
sales percentage is between 4-5% (https://retail.economictimes.indiatimes.com/ )
New Delhi: Indian ethnic wear brand BIBA aims to achieve a sales target of Rs 900-1000 crore by financial year 2017-2018.
“As a company we are growing at a rate of 30-35% CAGR in the last 7-8 years and we are targeting sales of 900-1000 cr for financial year 2017-2018,”
said Siddharth Bindra, managing director, BIBA.
Currently, BIBA earns 15-17% sales from online channel including marketplaces and from their own site. However, from its own site, the sales
percentage is between 4-5%.
The ethnic wear industry worth closely around Rs 70,000 crore although 70% of the market is still dominated by the unorganized players and the
segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% to reach Rs 1,26,210 crore in 2019.
Currently BIBA holds 1% or 1 ½ % of the market share and as per Bindra, the focus is to achieve 5% of the market share in next 3-4 years.
“We are expecting a lot of developments in the branded apparel section in next 4-5 years and hope the implementation of GST will accelerate it further.
But we have no plans to venture into western wear segment,” he clarified.
Keeping a focus on its core category, BIBA said, the brand plans to open 10-12 stores in the coming 6-12 months under BIBA Girls’ brand which
exclusively caters to young girls aging between 2-15 years.

Classmate is an Indian brand of student stationery products. ITC Limited (formerly Indian Tobacco Company) launched its Classmate brand in 2003
with the notebooks category. Subsequently, Classmate added pens, pencils, mechanical pencils and geometry boxes to its portfolio. Classmate products include
notebooks, pens, pencils, mechanical pencils, diaries, mathematical drawing instruments, scholastics, erasers, sharpeners and scales and art stationery products.
As part of ITC’s centenary initiative, Classmate launched the largest student contact program- Ideas for India challenge. It provided a platform for Indian youth to brainstorm and
address the issues and challenges which our nation faces and help in developing the nation. ITC also launches a lot of digital campaigns to ensure maximum participation.
Classmate did its promotions through classmate cover hunt contest where many people came along and gave their suggestions for the cover page. This contest helped build the
brands facebook fanpage of about 1484 contestants and 179 contestants on twitter
Classmate brand, has clocked revenues of Rs 1,000 crore in terms of consumer spends.
"When the company got into the stationery business way back in 2003, there was a lot of scepticism, but today we are market leaders in the
branded notebooks category," says Chand Das, chief executive, education and stationery products business at ITC.
The company's rise to the Rs 1,000-crore mark took a little over 10 years, which according to Das is the fastest in the history of the stationery
business in India.
Companies such as Navneet, for instance, despite being around since 1956, have a turnover of less than Rs 1,000 crore.
Das, who was moved from the company's packaging business to run this business way in 2002, has played a major role in getting consumers
to think brands while buying a commoditised category like notebooks.
The organized market for notebooks is around Rs 4,000 crore, where ITC's Classmate is the market leader with a 20 per cent share. The other
national brand, Navneet, is a distant second with 7 per cent share. The rest of the market is controlled by a host of regional brands.
Das is now set for the next round of market expansion. He is currently testing brand Saathi, which would be a notebook brand targeted at
what he calls "less prosperous markets". Brand Saathi would be priced 15 per cent lower than Classmate, whose average price is around Rs
25. "The idea is to ladder the portfolio," says Das.
He also plans to launch a premium offering called Classmate Pulse. This, he says, will be strong on design elements and would have features
such as dividers and pockets. But how many Indian consumers are actually brand conscious when it comes to buying a notebook? Das says
that in the last decade, he has succeeded in capturing the mindshare of the students by actively investing in various school contact
programmes. "Our target audience, both consumers and the trade, understand brands," he says.
Almost 85 per cent of the company's revenue comes from notebook sales, while the rest is from other stationery products such as pens and art
stationery. This ratio will change to 70:30 in favour of notebooks in the next five years, says Das.

Anthony T. Rossi[edit]
Anthony T. Rossi (1900–1993) was born in Italy on the island of Sicily. He had the equivalent of a high school education and
immigrated to the United States when he was 21 years old. He drove a taxi, was a grocer in New York, farmed in Virginia,
and then moved to Florida in 1940 where he farmed and was a restaurateur. His first involvement with
the Florida citrus industry was fresh fruit gift boxes sold by Macy's and Gimbels department stores in New York City, New
York.[1]
In 1947, Rossi settled in Palmetto, Florida and began packing fruit gift boxes and jars of sectioned fruit for salads under the
name Manatee River Packing Company. As the fruit segment business grew, the company moved to a larger location in
east Bradenton, Florida and changed its name to Fruit Industries. [1] The ingredients for the fresh fruit salads on the menu of
New York’s famed Waldorf-Astoria Hotel were supplied by Fruit Industries. [2] At the east Bradenton location, Rossi began
producing frozen concentrate orange juice as a natural extension of the fruit section business.
Strong credibility: Tropicana is a 60-year-old brand and has successfully expanded around the
world. It has been able to garner credibility around the world and has created a strong customer
base for itself.
Global Presence: Tropicana, being a PepsiCo product drives on its global presence and is currently
present in over 60 countries around the world and is continuously on the lookout
for geographic expansion.
Healthy options: The identity of Tropicana is health oriented and is a healthier alternative to
aerated drinks. The number of health conscious people around the world is increasing and thus it is
an advantage for Tropicana.
Strong distribution: Tropicana, as a product requires special attention during distribution. This is
where PepsiCo helps Tropicana tremendously. Since the tome Tropicana has been acquired by
PepsiCo, the distribution has improved tremendously.
Weaknesses in the SWOT Analysis of Tropicana :
Considered Costly: Tropicana is considered to be costly as compared to local products or aerated
drink, in the same quantity. This reduces market share and limits customer base.
Reduced Quantity: Instead of increasing price of products, Tropicana resorted to reducing quantity
of product to about 8-10%. This also creates an image of a costly brand.
Low Rural Penetration: Packaged Juices are difficult to distribute and are more dependent on
higher margins than mass sales. This resists Tropicana to penetrate more in rural.
Focus on low-calorie drinks: flavorsTropicana has introduced No Pulp as a product with 50% less
sugar. Tropicana should focus more on low-calorie products by including flavours and increasing
penetration.
More variants: Tropicana has many variants under its arsenal but most of them are common from
the competitors. Tropicana should look to bring out more fruit flavors which are not easily available.
Tie-ups with Hotels and restaurants: Tropicana can look for tying up with large chains of hotels
and restaurants which will help increase its awareness and revenues.
Promotion of healthy products may affect PepsiCo’s other products: PepsiCo’s major products
are its aerated drinks brand which include Pepsi, Mountain Dew and 7Up etc. Promoting
consumption of healthy products may backfire in the sales of its major products.
Intense competition: Tropicana faces intense competition from many competitors around the world.
Its major competitors are Minute Maid, Saints, Del Monte Juices and Real Juice etc. High
competition enforces pricing wars and limits market share.
MARKET SHARE:
We’ll aim to make Tropicana available across 250,000 retail outlets, 2.5 times of 100,000 now by the end of
this year. From less than 100 towns, Tropicana will be made available across 300 towns.
For Tropicana, the company has appointed Hindi film actor Katrina Kaif as brand ambassador. Kaif has been
endorsing its mango drink brand Slice for some years. Slice was launched in India in 1993 as a mango drink
and rebranded as Tropicana Slice in 2014.
In the 100% juice segment, Tropicana had a 41.5% market share (retail volume) in 2016, up from 40% in 2015
Marketing Mix of Tropicana analyses the brand/company which covers 4Ps (Product, Price, Place,
Promotion) and explains the Tropicana marketing strategy. The article elaborates the pricing, advertising & distribution strategies used
by the company.
Let us start the Tropicana Marketing Mix:
Product:
The product strategy and mix in Tropicana marketing strategy can be explained as follows:
Tropicana mainly specializes in orange juice but it also has a number of other flavors like apple, grape, mango, guava, and cranberry. It
has a total of 70 different juice kinds and also offers smoothie products in its marketing mix. Some of its well-known products are
Tropicana Farmstand which is a 100% juice blend with fruits and vegetables, Trop50 which is orange juice with 50% less sugar and
calories, Probiotics which is a 100% juice blend containing 1 billion probiotics per 8 ounce with no added sugar or artificial flavors,
Tropicana Pure Premium which is a 100% orange juice with no added sugar, water or preservatives and the Premium Lemonades and
Drinks. Tropicana selects the best fruit to manufacture the best quality juices, develop innovative processes and explores new markets for
its products. Tropicana aims at helping the consumers maintain a healthy lifestyle by ensuring that its products are naturally nutritious
and provide the daily benefits that one needs. Freshness is the guiding principle of the brand and it positions itself as a breakfast
beverage.
PricING:
Below is the pricing strategy in Tropicana marketing strategy:
Tropicana adopts a value based pricing strategy. Its products are costlier compared to similar products offered by other fruit
juice brands, because, it uses the best quality fruits, and manufactures high quality juices with innovative processes. However,
the price of Tropicana products is not too expensive and they can be consumed by middle-income group families on a daily basis.
The 200 ml tetra pack is priced at Rs.30 whereas the 1000 ml tetra pack is priced at Rs. 120. It also offers value packs which are
a combination of 3 different flavors in 1000 ml tetra packs each priced at Rs.360. In the recent years, Tropicana sales have been
increasing, as more and more people have become health conscious and prefer consuming healthy fruit juices instead of
carbonated drinks.
Its commercials that encourage people to have Tropicana every morning is a clear picture that
everyone and anyone can take the juice. And though it has its headquarters in Chicago, the
company has spread throughout the six continents where it has an impressive market share
and customer base.
Tropicana is a very successful brand as it has managed to penetrate and maintain a formidable
market share. Its success is greatly attributed to its market strategy. There are few companies that
have invested in TV commercials the way Tropicana has. In fact, during its primary years, Tropicana
was dominant in TV commercials in all the markets that it has already managed to penetrate.
And its commercials themselves were impressive, no wonder within no time, customers were
flocking to their shelves so that they can get a taste of the products. For instance, its “Have a
Tropicana Morning,” which is a more recent TV commercial has made many to start using the
product every morning.
The company has not given the print media a back as many companies have done. Newspapers
and magazines and other forms of print and electronic media are channels Tropicana is advertising
its products through. Tropicana also sponsors concerts, games and sporting events.
Tropicana’s St. Petersburg Florida Field Stadium that has a 45360 seat capacity and hosts baseball
has done the company a lot of good as far as marketing is concerned. But it is its message about
natural, freshness, health-oriented and 100% juice taste emphasis that boosts the confidence of this
health conscious population the morE
