This company focuses on maintaining high quality hygiene and technology supported manufacturing process. Therefore, it targets the group which is more concern with the standards and do not compromise with the quality even if the cost is high (Chello Dairy Products (Pvt) Ltd.-Chello Yogurt, 2019). This way the focused customers are the upper class customers for whom cost is not the concern but brand name is. |

In order to capture maximum market Fonterra position its products by promising that they are environmental sustainable, which are concern for community and delivering the healthiest dairy yogurt possible (Foneterra our markets, 2019). The other way through which this brand has position itself is through designing attracting advertisements very carefully. |
This brand position its product as an elegant brand product which is made using best technology and is free from any kind of unethical practice. It markets its products by highlighting the production process which is followed at the sites and ensures that no adjustments are done with the product quality. |
Differentiation

The medium of marketing used by this organisation is Facebook and local newspaper. To justify the aspect of differentiation, management of this organisation focused over promotion of product by mentioning that available in two types drinking and set yoghurt. So, it justifies the requirement of every kind of consumers. Secondly, focused over the description of the features and different varieties available in both products. Drinking Yoghurt comes in 6 different flavours. This will help the active and busy people in satisfaction of their nutritional needs and taste preferences. Set Yoghurt is made from 100% cow’s milk which containing the goodness of natural dairy nutrition along with creamy texture flavour. The aspect of differentiation is totally justified as proper information is provided in respect to qualitative features along with various variants.  |
The medium used by this organisation for promotion of their new offering is YouTube. The new product introduced by this organisation named as New Anchor Newdale Mango Blast Yoghurts. The promotional campaign in respect to this product on YouTube justifies the concept of differentiation. As specifically information is provided in context of the availability of flavoured yoghurt which is good in taste and have less added sugar (Richlife Dairies Sri Lanka, Â 2019). So, this presents their product different from the competitors in organisation. Â |
The medium used in respect to the promotion is same with Fonterra i.e. YouTube. The marking campaign of this organisation specifically provides the information that they have two varieties of Yoghurts such as set and drinking. Â This depicts that no one in market can be disappointed with the offerings. Also, featured in the campaign that in context to the both variants number of flavours are available. Set yoghurt is available in 2 different flavours and number of sizes i.e. Jelly fruit and Kithulpeni. While, considering about the drinking yoghurt 5 different flavours are present i.e. Vanila, Mango, Strawberry etc. So, the aspect of differentiation is totally justified from their marketing campaign as all necessary information is gathered in respect to their offerings. |
Customer Driven StrategyÂ

The medium of marketing is used by this organisation is Facebook and newspapers. On the basis of the accessibility, these has huge scope in market (Fonterra, 2019). Facebook easily help to get in touch with the customers which are technology friendly and specially those which are young in age. On the hand, newspaper help to build connection with consumers that doesn't have much connection with technology i.e. old in age and working over households. So, determined that this organisation has good ability to build connection with each type of consumers present in market. The information provided in respect to the product like Yoghurt is complete in nature i.e. all information regarding feature and variant is available. |
The medium used by this organisation is YouTube. The contribution of this promotional medium has significant coverage over the consumers but less than the Facebook and newspapers. This is so because the market of consumers who get the information about the product offline is more against to the online (Fonterra - Anchor newdale yoghurt, 2019). The promotion of Yoghurt over YouTube helps to build easy connection with the consumers which are technology friendly. On the basis of the product information including features, organisation done good. |
The medium used is YouTube. The accessibility of this is only over to the consumers which are active users of internet and digital platforms. Not effective in nature to provide information to the large segment of consumers that focused over offline advertisements to know about the offerings of the organisation (Chello Dairy Products (Pvt) Ltd. 2019). In respect to the information about the features of product, organisation is done good and able to provide all effective information. |
Conlusion
It has been concluded from the above analysis that all the organisations are doing good in market. The approach used for marketing by the Richlife is more competent in nature as covers the both online and offline segment. This will improve the reach and help in satisfaction of each and every concept of marketing. Otherwise, the two organisations use YouTube that limits their scope to the technology friendly consumers. Still, able to justify many aspects of the marketing. Apart from this it is also found that how by positioning and segmenting differently the different organisations are able to cover maximum market share. It shows that to achieve the competitive advantage the market tactics should be well planned and decided after doing complete analysis of the business environment.
