El problema:
Un producto (ATV Explorer) del que se estimaba vender 1 millón de unidades por 12$, no se puede sacar al mercado por menos de 18,5$ pvp. ¿Se mantendrá la demanda? ¿Cuántos fabricar si es que se fabrica? La política de la empresa ha sido históricamente vender juguetes de menos de 5$ aunque desde hace años tienen varios ejemplos de productos de 10-14$ que han tenido éxito. Rechazo de la "vieja guardia".

Empresa y entorno competitivo:

- Fisher-Price (FP) tiene en 1970 aproximadamente el 2,0 % de un mercado de unos 1,5$ billones (Ventas=$30Mill, Mercado=$1.500Mill (estimando el mercado “al por mayor” en la mitad de $3.000Mill que es el limite superior en el cálculo de 1968)
- El mercado está bastante segmentado pues las 8 primeras empresas son apenas el 35% del mercado. Esto implica que hay espacio suficiente para crecer.
- FP tiene mucha notoriedad (75%) como marca y además el 82,7% de los encuestados afirman que es la marca que más compran de juguetes de preescolar.
- En cuanto a los juguetes de "Monta" que son el 22% del mercado, FP tiene un 0,09% de cuota con el Creative Coster 332.000 $ en ventas en 1968).
- Este producto ha ido subiendo su PVP de 6,95$ a 10$ en 7 años. Esto ha hecho que, aunque han subido las ventas, su peso en el mix haya descendido del 1,6% al 0,6%. Esto puede ser por elasticidad al precio o por desgaste después de 7 años en el mercado.
- El nuevo Producto puede sustituir al Creative Coaster por lo que puede estimarse unas ventas por lo menos de igual volumen (332 mil unidades).
- El principal competidor es PlaySchool que tiene 6 modelos de este tipo, aunque recientemente está perdiendo cuota frente a fabricantes pequeños que ofrecen productos mucho más baratos pero de peor calidad.
- La demanda de juguetes en general está previsto que aumente debido al crecimiento de la población y de los nuevos nacimientos.
- Presupuesto de Mkting en crecimiento, orientado a TV y con posibilidad de

    The Guillermo Furniture Store success can be credited for the focus on quality and the handcrafted furniture manufactured sold at a premium. In the late 1990s, Guillermo’s business model started to change when two new events brought change to Guillermo’s business environment. The first event came in the form of a competitor from overseas. The new competition brought a high-tech approach to making furniture that used exact specifications and produce products that resulted in rock bottom pricing. The second event that took place resulted from development in the area that brought an influx of people and jobs. This created a rise in labor costs that resulted in a decrease in profit margins for Guillermo Furniture Store. As the new competition took sales away Guillermo’s profits fell and cost started to rise quickly. Guillermo has to choose among alternatives to compete in this new business environment. Choosing the right alternative will return profit levels to optimum levels.…

    The main problem facing Jack Asthalter, Fisher-Price’s marketing vice president is whether or not to move forward with the production of a new ATV Explorer toy. The extensive market research that Fisher-Price performed with children and their parents was very positive in favor of producing the ATV Explorer. Unfortunately, the production costs were going to exceed initial estimates of $12.00 retail and instead require a wholesale price of $9.20 per unit and retail price of $18.50. Typical Fisher-Price toys were under $5 retail and similar competitor products to the ATV Explorer were in the $12 retail range. Retailers and consumers may not support the higher priced product.…

    Fisher-Price, a toy company that was founded in 1930, was known for its durable, safe, high-quality, and fun products sold at low to moderate prices, and had established itself as a leading producer of toys over the years. In fact, 82.7% of participants in a Redbook study named Fisher-Price the brand of pre-school toys that they buy the most often. In the summer of 1970, marketing vice president Jack Asthalter found himself confronted with a difficult decision: whether to produce a new ATV Explorer toy. Ashalter’s production staff had just informed him that the ATV Explorer could no longer be profitably distributed at the preconceived price of $12, and would need to be sold at a price of $18.50 after markups. Asthalter was unsure whether there would be sufficient demand for the ATV at this new price, as all concept tests and market research sessions had been conducted with the idea that the ATV Explorer would be sold at a retail price of $12. Additionally, because most of Fisher-Price’s toys were priced below $5, internal opposition would need to be overcome in order to manufacture the toy. Ashalter had several options: produce the ATV Explorer and sell it at $18.50; lower the price by removing a part but in the process sacrifice quality, going against traditional company policy; market and advertise the ATV Explorer as a single item rather than as part of a line of toys; milk the ATV Explorer and increase the price by $.50 or a $1 and use the added profits to support increased promotion; or simply not produce the ATV Explorer at all.…
