First, Allround needs to increase its sales force, with emphasis on increasing mass merchandiser based on the marketshare news. We planned to increase drugstores, and grocery stores by 3.5% and mass merchandisers by 12%. We based the volume discount on the budget. Allround needs to remove “ reduces chest congestion, dries up runny nose” from the list of benefits. Customers don’t perceive Allround to be effective at curing those symptoms. Allround should drop alcohol and appeal to families, and include “won’t cause drowsiness.” As the product becomes mature, the “reminder” percentage should be increased.

We chose Dryup as the comparison because it has the best brand perception for effectiveness. We increased the Point of Purchase to attract customers, so we decreased Newspaper Coupons. We created a logo and advertisement for Allround, and chose Facebook and Twitter for the Special section. The stock price increased to $13.40 in the second period. Based on the comments, Customers prefer Besthelp over Allround. Allround’s MSRP was decreased by $.10 to appeal to customers. With more customer awareness, we decreased Advertising Budget, Point of Purchase, Newspaper Coupon, and Promotional Allowance. To compete against Besthelp, we changed our comparison from Dryup to Besthelp. Besthelp has an advantage of not including alcohol. We added “won’t cause drowsiness” and unchecked “helps you rest.” In the Special section, we added “drop
There are multi-factorial scenarios, which have an impact on the marketing strategies for a brand. In case of off-brands, it becomes critical for the organization to closely monitor the market environment and develop a marketing strategy that helps the off-brand to compete with established national and international brands.

The CNS Company is already a successful company due to the achievements of its breathing right strips. In my analysis we learned that they already do a lot of things right.

There is an increasing pressure within pharmaceutical markets to reduce prices in line with medical budgets, as well as maintaining patent expirations. Being a global brand means disturbance in the operations when the market fluctuates. There is an internal weakness in the pharmaceutical industry, which includes theft and counterfeiting of drugs, and therefore is a weakness of Johnson & Johnson.
