I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Objective: * To increase market share by 11% at the end of the strategic year.

History of Selecta

Selecta’s humble beginnings can be traced to the Arce family’s ice cream parlor in Manila in 1948. Its ice cream was well-known for its creaminess, authentic flavors, and unique gold can packaging—qualities that remained throughout the years.

In 1990, RFM Corporation bought Selecta from the Arce family to form Selecta Dairy Products, Inc. Known for its sharp entrepreneurship, RFM catapulted the rise of Selecta as a serious contender in the ice cream market—always ahead in product innovations by creating new and exciting flavors like Cookies and Cream, Halo Halo, Ube Macapuno, and Chocolate Almond Fudge, and supported by heart-warming media campaigns that depict Selecta as an ice cream that creates family bonding moments. In 1997, Selecta became the market leader in the Philippine capital, which accounted for 60% of the nation’s ice cream consumption.

In 1999, to complement its frozen novelties category and strengthen itself for competition, RFM teamed up with Unilever, the largest ice cream company in the world to form Selecta Walls Incorporated. The joint-venture proved to be a success and in 2000, Selecta defeats competition to become the national ice cream leader.

And that has been the story since—with its passion for exceeding the expectations of consumers, unwavering dedication to quality, and unrelenting quest to improve itself through its innovations, Selecta or Unilever RFM Ice Cream, Inc., sees itself winning stomachs and hearts to be become the world’s preferred pleasure food.

    The standard market was made of single serve and juice products. Earlier, local ice cream producers did not try to build brand awareness. Later foreign firms entered the market via joint ventures. They had a strong devotion toward building brand names. These foreign joint ventures were able to secure 80% of the standard ice cream market over a few years. The foreign joint ventures were able to capture the majority of the market share by using freezer loan programs. The residential freezer owners accounted for 15% of the households. The joint venture firms would loan freezers to retailers to store the ice cream in return retailers were supposed to stock only the products of the joint venture firms.

    Firstly, the crisis in 1998 had greatly reduced the consumption ability of ice cream market and increased the imported ingredients for producers. Secondly, Centralize planning system that is used in Russia caused the Russian managers to have little knowledge and experience on channels. Therefore, they had to heavily depend on distributors to reach the end customers. Together with distributor’s strong ability to integrate upward, this endowed the distributor strong bargaining power. Thirdly, consumer had very little switching cost since the whole market’s revenue generated from spontaneous, impulsive purchases. Fourthly, there are so many substitute in the market; such as beer, soft drink and confectionary product was grabbing ice cream’s market by heavily investing on advertisement. Lastly, there were almost no entry barriers, new regional producers rushed into the industry.

    There is good opportunity for ICEDELIGHTS and the franchisees who want to take on the venture. The first opportunity is the fact that all the franchisees are at an optimal time in their lives to start a new venture. They are in grad school, all have investment experience, and are not currently committed to jobs or spouses. This is the perfect time for them to get involved in a business.

    "Our phenomenal story began with a 10 cent sale of a then unnamed product on August 4, 1938, in Kankakee, Illinois. A father and son in the mix plant business in Green River, Illinois, had been experimenting with a soft frozen dairy product for some time. They contacted Sherb Noble, a good friend and customer, who agreed to run the "all you can eat" trial sale at his walk-in ice cream store. Within two hours, he dished out more than 1,600 servings of the new dessert. Back then, food franchising was all but unheard of, but the new product's potential made it a natural for such a system. When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, there were less than 10 Dairy Queen stores. However shortly after the war, the system took off at a pace virtually unrivaled before or since. With only 100 stores in 1947, it grew to 1,446 in 1950 and then to 2,600 in 1955. Today, the Dairy Queen system is one of the largest fast food systems in the world with more than 5,900 restaurants in the United States, Canada and 20 foreign countries" (Dairy Queen, 2007).…
