Case Analysis

Lay’s had $800 million in sales within the $2.7 billion U.S. potato chip market. But, it had no product to compete directly with Procter & Gamble's Pringles, which had a 60% share of the "pre-formed, stacked, potato-chip-in-a-can" market segment.

In August 2003, Frito-Lay launched its Lay’s STAX potato crisps, which are stacked in a portable, resealable, crush-resistant container.

Frito-Lay identified premium snack consumers in the United States who were young adults as their target market. Frito-Lay's STAX promotional objectives were two-fold:

1. Create awareness.
2. Achieve sales by reaching both retailers, and ultimately, consumers.

Frito-Lay developed a major IMC effort directed at its retailers to encourage and support them in their decision to stock and sell the new line of Frito-Lay’s STAX potato crisps. At product launch, there were four flavors. However, by early 2010, there were six flavors sold in the United States. In 2017, there are 13 flavors of STAX chips. As the product moves through the product life cycle, the goals (inform, persuade, remind and connect) should change as well as the the integrated marketing campaign.

Part 2

Based upon the synthesis of your research, please develop an IMC program for the Frito-Lay STAX potato crisps that addresses where the product currently is on the Product Life Cycle. Using the following matrix as a guide, be sure to describe in detail your "BIG IDEA" and recommendations for specific actions (e.g., advertisements, coupons, POP displays, etc.) and why you believe these actions will help you reach your IMC objectice. Be sure to explain how these work as part of an IMC program and not as stand-alone elements. What is the cohesive message you are trying to portray?

Stanley’s typists use 770 reams of paper per month, at a cost of $10 per ream. He pays a fixed cost of $28 each time he orders paper. The carrying cost (per ream per year) is 35% of the purchase price. Stanley is currently ordering paper each month, with the number of reams used per month as the order quantity. How much would Stanley save each year, if he used the EOQ?
