2MARKETING STRATEGY AND PLAN
Activity 1
The non-profit organisations remain dedicated to social cause and not for deriving only profit
in business. FareShare is a non-profit organisation that prevents food wastage and feed every people who
suffer from poverty. The surplus food is stored in the charity kitchen and then the meals are distributed to
the hungry people. The exchange of food for honesty and positive mindsets among people is taking place.
The company does not seek for monetary benefits, rather has aimed at feeding the hungry people through
marketing techniques for managing acquisition of food partners, charity partners and raised funds
(Tedlow and Jones 2014). This promotes values and maintains consistency while communicating the
brand across the network.
The Billabong website contains relevant information about the products too including jackets,
boardshorts, shirts, tees, etc. By providing the customers with information about the surfing, skiing and
skating industries, the company has made the consumers aware of the products that they need to purchase
for carrying out the skating, surfing and skiing activities properly (au.billabong.com 2018).
Activity 2
By accessing the Australian website of Nestle, it has been found that there is introduction of
new products and services and the promotional campaigns have further exposed those to the customers,
thereby influencing their buying behaviours. Nestle’s “Good Food Good Life” promotional campaign
enables promoting nutritious choices and good quality products that can be healthy for the consumers. The
company has sold Peters Ice Cream and managed its business with Pacific Equity Partners (nestle.com.au
2018). The latest news include beginning of the next Aussie Gold Rush, Nestles approach to resolve
recycling issues and confusion among the clients and the new coffee launch named Nescafe Gold

(Mulhern 2013). The demographic segments include products for the younger children and psychographic
include the customers who want the product readymade without wasting any time. Yes, this will be
successful, because it can draw in more clients and influence their buying behaviours.
Activity 3
In case a company wants to distribute its income in the Northern territory, then firstly, a good
socio-economic status should be maintained and measurement of wealth is essential. The data sources
including the occupation and qualifications could identify the economic scopes and opportunities;
furthermore produce a higher proportion of households with lower income though considering the large
capital wealth hold by the people who have retired. The management of income by done by allocating the
payment to pay for the major priority items including the necessity for food, housing, clothing, education
and medical care (Baker 2014). Their expenses are identified and necessary adjustments are made for
managing proper distribution of income.
Activity 4
Unilever has undertaken the market segmentation approach for obtaining information from
the websites and data regarding the product, price, place and promotions. The heterogeneous market is
divided into smaller segments considering the use of variables such as geographic, demographic,
psychographic and behavioural. P&G followed the digital marketing for delivering messages to people on
a mass scale and thus more people are influenced to make purchases for generating higher revenue and
gaining competitive advantage. Pepsi follows the mass marketing to differentiate the products through
targeting of market segments and increase its sales revenue (Tedlow and Jones 2014). The targeting
strategies have been beneficial and by understanding the needs of people in different market segments, the
segmentation would be perfect. Ranking based on market segmentation:

The demographic transition has been reduced to a large extent and this has allowed the
developing countries to increase the possibility of working age populations in the future days to come. The
demographic trends include supply trends, demand trends and external factors that can also affect the
international marketing. For the demand trends, more customers are coming every time, which has increased
the demands for global products and services and thus the demographics have been shifted in the world
(Mulhern 2013). The digital consumer have gone global and thus the modernisation has resulted in managing
the global marketing techniques with much ease and effective for facilitate the global business management
and expansion.
