Case Study
ABC Ltd. is an Ahmedabad based soaps and detergent company. It has a broad product portfolio, with salt and soda ash to soaps and detergent manufacturing and marketing. The company was established in 1975 and its early operations were small. It adopted a strategy of low pricing and low margins to beat Multinational giants in the same sector. It benefited by operating in small scale sector and thus saved enormously on excise duty that multinationals had to pay for every kilogram of soap/ detergent they produced. It also concentrated on widening its distribution network. Initially, sales pushed mainly through word of mouth and latter on as the products became popular, sales agents/distributors across the country associated with the company and operated on the tiny margins offered by the company, owing to volumes.
The company intelligently uses television as a medium to promote its brands and push sales. In 2007-08, the company’s net sales grew to Rs 3206 crores, 13.5% higher than 2006-07. Its net profit during the same period was Rs. 446 crores, up by 18% from 2006-07. The debt servicing burden was also decreased by 21% to about 36 crore during 2007-08.
The company saves much on its various expenditure heads like staff cost, power and fuel through better operational efficiency and re-engineering. It has already created a brand associated with cheap products. The company also faces intense competition from hundreds of small scale soap makers. Currently, in 2009-10 the company employs a workforce of 14000 and a turnover of around Rs. 3600 crores. Over the years the company has increased its sales volumes through better product mix, focus on R&D, and proper advertising.
