EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AllStar brand is one of the leading manufacturers of packaged goods throughout the world. In our North American over-the-counter pharmaceutical division the product AllRound has proven to be a successful market leader in the cold, cough, allergy, and flu market. This marketing plan highlights the current success, competition, and strategy for AllRound to gain a larger market share in the OTC market. AllRound is the ideal product on which to focus our marketing attention because of its recent growth and success.
In consumer surveys the AllRound brand name is widely recognized and loyalty is notably related to the effectiveness of the product. Much of AllRound’s success is due to its efficiency in its ability to treat multiple symptoms. Though the price qualifies it as a more expensive OTC medication, it is unique because it provides maximum strength multi-symptom relief. The strong multi-symptom relief formula has given us a competitive edge against our competitors.
There are a large number of competitors within the over-the-counter cold, cough, allergy and flu market. Many products are provided with a variety of formulas within the FDA regulations. AllRound holds a large share specifically in the cold

    Furthermore, by period 8, total advertising spending was up $28.2 million while promotional spending increased $10.6 million. Additionally, we introduced Allright in the fifth period because there was an increasing need for an allergy sector, which was lacking before. Advertising for Allright focused primarily on relieving allergy symptoms since this was something not promoted for Allround or Allround+. Not to mention, we believed that being the first to introduce this new product would have a significant impact on the company. The line extension was not generating income despite increased investments in advertising and promotions. Therefore, we decided to remove Allright in period 6 because we felt that it was not a valuable line extension to the Allstar brands and it would do more harm than good in the long…

    Allstar Brands' Allround product holds a strong position in the over-the-counter cold and allergy remedy market by being the market share leader, but there is no guarantee this trend will continue.

Allround competes in one of four product categories in the OTC market with no emphasis in the cough, allergy, or nasal categories. We will be better enabled to meet the desires and needs wanted most by consumers by enhancing the current Allround product line.…

    To take advantage of this opportunity the company should target current aspirin users since that market share is 90% and not target current Tylenol users since they are already converts and therefore, perceive no value in changing to Datril. The aspirin market is dominated by 3 main players and Bristol-Myers’ has two of the brands. Attracting current aspirin user will no doubt also benefit Tylenol, while at the same cannibalize Bristol-Myers own aspirin brands. A vertical brand extension using Datril as the…

    The marketing of medication has a long history. The sale of miracle cures, many with little real potency, has always been common. Marketing of legitimate non-prescription medications, such as pain relievers, haematinics or allergy medicine, has also long been practiced. Mass marketing of prescription only medications is not allowed by law. Marketing of prescription only medications would involve ads in professional journals and visits by Medical Representatives to doctor’s offices and hospitals. Over the years, consumption of haematinics in Ghana has increased significantly and records one of the highest sales figures in the Pharmaceutical industries. In the 1980’s and early 1990’s, the haematinics of choice were the normal fersolate, FAC syrup, Galfer etc. But the trend has significantly changed from the mid 1990’s to date.
