What Is A Category Value Driver?

A consumer or shopper-led motivator for


consumption or purchase that will be responsible
for a step-change in category growth
These will be derived from grouping Big Ideas and Opportunities
together which have a similar or common thread.

18

Category Value Drivers


Category Value Drivers:
A Category Value Driver is not a Driver unless it meets either New
or Existing Needs better than today
Otherwise it is a Quick Win

Therefore a Category Value Driver is a relatively long term initiative


A Category Value Driver is Quantified and reflected in the Category
Vision and Objectives
Likely to drive an increase in:

Penetration

Consumer trends
Experiential society:

Anything goes:

I want to enrich my life with


experiences - to replace the
mundane with excitement and
luxury, and to escape from the
daily pressures. Help me get the
most out of life.

As the boundaries of identity,


lifestage and family structure
continue to shift, Im free to do
and behave as I want without the
constraints of my age or gender.

Solutions for Individuals:

Health and wellness:

Im special and different give


me custom- made solutions that
let me express my identity.

Getting connected:
In a fragmenting society, I still
need to belong. I want new, fast,
convenient and trendy ways of
connecting to my real and virtual
worlds.

Freedom from illness is no longer


enough. I want physical,
emotional, and spiritual wellbeing
for me and my family. Help me
take control of my health (but still
indulge occasionally in things that
are bad for me!).

Securing a better world:


I care about my world, my society,
my environment I worry about
my safety, security and privacy.

Instant availability:

Trading up, trading down:

As my life gets more complex, I


want ways to make the most of
my time to pack more into my
day, and to spend time on the
things I want to do, now.

Spending less on undifferentiated


products and services so that I
can spend more on those that
excite me - but no compromise on
quality.

Clear net/incremental source of value growth or decline wheres the value coming
from?
Objective takes the Category view, not Unilevers view

Nod value - Retailers would recognize it intuitively

Consistent with Unilevers global/regional Value Drivers, as a starting point

& no more than 7 per category!

What Is A Vision?

A long awkward sentence that


management's inability to think clearly.

demonstrates

The first step in developing a Vision Statement is to lock


the managers in a room and have them debate what is
meant by a "Vision Statement" and exactly how it differs
from a "Mission Statement" or a "Business Plan" or
"Objectives".
The debate over the definition of "vision" will end as soon
as the participants become too tired and cranky to enjoy
belittling each other's intelligence. At that point someone
will start suggesting various visions just to get the
meeting over with
(Scott Adams - The Dilbert Principle)
63

Why do we develop a National Category Vision?


Whats its purpose?

Encapsulates a Vision for the category that is mutually


motivating for Unilever and our retail partners

Inspires us to develop the category aggressively, and

helps inspire our retail partners to prioritise working with


us to make the Vision come to life

Creating A Category Vision Should Start With


Inspirational Thinking - Drivers
Inspiration

Anticipation

Past

Today

Future

65

So A Category Vision Has Two Components


1.Category Vision Statement:
Typically a sentence or two of impactful text on how
the category will change for the next three years
2.Category Vision of Growth (Quantification):
Gives the big picture context, providing a natural leadin to the presentation of the Value Driver
The quantified size of prize for the Category, from the
Category Drivers
Implicitly plays to Unilevers competitive advantages
brands, technology, insight etc

66

Vision: Tea-Based Beverages USA

Tea becomes the Biggest, Brightest Growth Category in both Hot and Cold Beverages
with its unmatched ability to combine the inherent natural health benefits of tea,
with limitless possibilities to deliver on great-taste and great experience

We will unlock $XXX dollar Growth comes from all 3 key areas
Increased Usage by existing drinkers taking a greater share of throat as they come to appreciate the real
health benefits
Increase in New Users attracted by the health and taste benefits delivered in relevant formats in
particular a younger generation
Uptrading of Consumers to added value propositions in all segments in the category

With an essential enabler being an instore tea experience that attracts consumers to try and buy more tea .

Checklist for an excellent Category Vision

Simple, clear statement of how the category will change over next 3 years
Defines the role the category will play in consumers and shoppers lives
Defines the role the category will play for retailers
Gives the big picture context, providing a natural lead-in to the

Jobs-to-be-Done

A Job-to-be-Done is:

The thing we want to change about the


attitudes or behaviour of consumers,
shoppers & customers.

72

The structure of behaviour led Jobs

Get who to do what


(expressed in consumer language)

Eg. Get users of shampoo to also use Conditioner

Plus the addition of by overcoming barrier x


only if there is an obvious specific barrier to overcome
(ie. not appropriate if several elements make up the barrier
and / or the barrier may change within the timeframe of the document)

Eg. Get Pragmatic Mums to buy Pot Noodle by overcoming their negative
perception of the product
73

JtbD Examples of Jobs based on behaviour

Get consumers to use BS as an all over body spray, not just for
underarms
Get users of fabric conditioner dilutes to convert to concentrates
Get current soap users to uptrade to handwash for
washing hands
Get makers of key homemade dishes (soup, rice, pasta, etc) to use
a cooking aid when they cook

To reduce confusion with Measurable Objectives, language should be used to describe what
the consumer does, rather than the terminology of the measure (eg. penetration, frequency of
purchase)
74

JtbD Examples of Jobs based on 6Ps

Price:
Make low price user upgrade to mass premium products
Place:
Significantly improve branded impact at point of sale
Product / Proposition:
Attract lapsed / non-users into X by leveraging the health
credentials of the product

75

Good or Bad Job?


1.

Relaunch LIT Light to make it more available


as a G4Y no-sugar alternative in the core

An activity & not


clear

2.

Get current X brand users to also try X


concentrate

A single-minded
behaviour

3.

Increase penetration & average weight of


purchase of Shampoo with 18-35 year old
women

Not singleminded

4.

Define & implement a portfolio strategy for the


Knorr masterbrand

5.

Launch new Taste variant to appeal to older

76

Achieving The Drivers


Jobs To Be Done: Behaviour Changes
A category driver is an identified source of additional value
So for that value to be realized, things must happen differently, for
example:
a Consumer to learn & understand the benefits of different variants
a Shopper to spend more time learning about different products and
learning the benefits @ POP
a Consumer to consume more on each occasion
a Customer to give increased space & better location to a segment

For each category driver therefore it is important to:


Identify what the behavior changes should be
This helps further validate that our driver is robust
This gives us focus on what we are really trying to achieve before we jump to
strategic options

Generate potential implications (strategic options) for final selection to


achieve each category driver and the behaviour changes required

The Point Of Purchase Vision

Definition:
Complete clarity on how you want your
brand(s) represented to the shoppers at any
Point of Purchase, set within the context of
the category.

Evidence:
We have a clear vision of the ideal POP
environment across all Trade Channels based
on detailed research.
This vision describes the best use of
Assortment, Merchandising, Price and
Promotion to maximise our and total category
sales.

The More We
Influence The
Point Of

Purchase The
More We Sell

This vision is then communicated throughout

If POP is so important.

HOW do we
influence it?
97

Shopper Understanding is Crucial to


Excellence at the POP
The Psychology Of Shopping Is Complex:
On average, shoppers pass only 30% of a supermarkets total stock
Some areas of the store are visited by less than 10% of all shoppers
On average, shoppers spend one minute in each aisle
Given 60 SKUs per category and four categories per aisle, each SKU
has 0.25 seconds of the shoppers time

Too many SKUs often leads to confusion and brain closure


A tighter range often leads shoppers to believe the Choice has
increased

Source: ID Magasin
98

POP Excellence Requires An


Understanding Of The Psychology Of Shoppers
Modern stores are big and complex whilst convenience stores condense
the complexity and are sometimes anything but!
The weekly shop is hard: locate, pay for and pack 100 items in less than
1 hour!

Experienced shoppers have developed shopping routines to deal with


the complexity of this task
These routines are called Schemata (or Scripts in psychology)

They make shopping easier and the shopper uses less mental energy to
achieve their goals
Males typically dont have shopping routines in supermarkets and often use
up large amounts of mental energy by looking at everything

99

Schemata
Schemata are automatic shopping reactions stimulated by imagery:
See image
Possible Shopper Schematic Reactions:
Ignore, Recognition, Recall, Selection

Subconsciously, shoppers can see everything but automatically deselect


irrelevant imagery
The relevance of imagery is directed by their shopping task

Siting

Powder acts as beacon to the Homecare Aisle. Location in back quartile of store
adjacent to other specialist fabric cleaning and care products

Macro Space

Space allocation and forward is in-line with market.


Premium brands should be allocated greater space versus rate of sale to drive visibility

Segmentation

Segmented Auto then Handwash to align to CDT. Brand Block to act as beacon, as
majority of brand choice made before store.
Flow Premium to Economy with each segment.
DOB acting as a natural buffer between the two (and meeting retailer
Need of situation next to market leader).

Visibility

Category visibility is strong, driven by bold brand blocks which aligns with how the
Shopper shops the category.

Signage

Strength of brand loyalty and brand blocks allow shoppers to easily locate their
favourite brands. Opportunity to enhance brand block and simplify selection with
clear segmentation signage and get Shopper to browse the entire run.

Equipment

Aisle flags, headers & base. Shelf Stripping. Shelf extensions

SA Fabric Cleaning Building Plan

RANGE
Channel Consideration

Total Market

Referred to Concentrate Driver, Concentrate will have more market


coverage. This is due to less number of SKUs compared to Regular
Detergent.
Due to small number of SKUs in FC category, Supermarket and
Hypermarket in UPC and BKK will have relatively similar market coverage,
as shopper demand is not that differentiated.
For Premium products i.e. Liquid, Supermarket with more target shoppers
will carry even more product variety than Hypermarket.
Convenience Store, and Open Trade can carry only limited number of SKUs
due to nature of the store and space limitation.

RANGE
SEGMENT Consideration

Total Market

Regular Detergent
Ensure that each variant has their own unique selling point (brandblock is preferred), and own target group.
Concentrate Detergent
Once this segment is widely established, there is an opportunity to
launch more packsizes of concentrate, may be both bigger and inbetween packsizes.
Fabric Conditioner
Aiming to replace Green with new variant, Sun Fresh in May 03.
Plan to upgrade by launching Fabric softener Concentrate in Q303.

Ease by clear segment of products


Low traffic on body lotion and facial foam
shelf, especially for non user because it is
easy for shopper to locate that it is BL,FF
section

Recommendation

Current

Layout need to create more traffic and attention


toward BL,FF section, which are Low volume
section

Option 1

Option 2

Objective
Create more traffic
Create more attention on shelf

Option 3

Layout Option1
Body

Moist

Body
Wash
Bar
Soap

Evaluation

Create more traffic for BL,FF shelf because


sandwich shelf of BW and soap inside
Not create attention to BL,FF shelf. It is still
on the back

Facial
Foam

Recommendation

Option 1

Some shopper preferred FM and FF to be more


close, because they considered it is a linkage
between facial wash and facial moist

Some shopper consider it lower grade of facial


foam to put it close to bar soap, it would look
upper grade when closed to facial moist??

Shoppers nature is to locate product and go to


shelf, not pay attention on shelf at the back

Layout Option2
Evaluation
Facial
Foam
Facial
Moist

Body
Lotion
Body
Wash
Bar
Soap

Create more traffic because it forced


shopper to walk pass every shelf
Not ease, hard for shopper to locate each
product section
Shopper need to pay more attention on shelf
in order to locate the product

Recommendation

Option 2

Once shopper able to locate product e.g. bar


soap, they would not pay attention to other shelf
and might walk pass without noticing anything

Walk pass shelf able to remind customer product


need e.g. non user glance of any new items,
user buy more variants e.g. hand and nail

Product package itself able to create attention


on shelf e.g. Neutrogena paper pack on FF

Layout Option3
Evaluation

Body
Lotion

Body Body
Wash Wash

Facial
Moist

Facial Bar
Foam Soap

Create more traffic for FF, in front of FM


But, BL shelf traffic still doubt because BW is
outside
Ease for shopper to locate product section
Ease for attention on BL,FF shelf because it is
on the main traffic which forced shopper to
see any communication on shelf

Recommendation

Option 3

Although, it has high link between FM and FF,


some consumer still confuse differences package
between FM and FF of same brand. It need to be
careful when promote regime usage

There Are 6 Key Areas To Consider When Considering The


Merchandising Element Of The Point Of Purchase Vision

A Statement or set of Targets for our plans against each of the following
criteria forms the backbone of the External Merchandising Point of Purchase
Vision

Merchandising Vision 6 Key Areas


Siting

Is the category located in the right place in the outlet? Primary &
secondary locations

Macro Space

Does the category need more space?

Segmentation

Does the flow and layout help the shopper / purchaser?

Visibility

Do all the drive segments and products have the right share of
space / are they clearly visible i.e. vertical blocking?

Signage

Are the drive segments clearly signed?

Equipment

Are the Shelf Profiles / Cold equipment / Fonts etc up to standard

169

Best Practice Suggests To Block By Segment


Then By Brandwhat Is Right For Your Category?

Should shoppers be able to see


similar products grouped together:
Eg premium / flavours?

Often only relevant part of offer is being noticed

Routine purchases takes less than seconds. Grab


and go!

Over ranging will lead to edited choice: consumers


will shop only a few brands in the section.
strip out extraneous brands:
Claim to consider 5 or more brands but most only
consider 1 or 2.

Is your brand seen


Unseen is unsold
High correlation between how quickly a brand is
seen and likelihood of purchase

Source: ID Magasin

177

Reading the shelf


Shoppers likely to begin at near eye level with beacon
brand or one that contrasts most dramatically with
others on the shelf.
Creating a consistent brand block is more impactful
than colour coding the product by variety, product form,
etc
From the starting point shopper is most likely to move
from right or down in the manner that they read
Hence brands on left of beacon brand more likely to be missed

178

Shelf position
Important for purposive shoppers (grab and go)
Eye level shelf position optimal
Less important when shopper engaged to browse
Will browse vertically down to floor level
Top shelf position most likely to be missed
Shelf position irrelevant if category difficult to shop

179

Horizontal block merchandising slows the


shopping process

180

Vertical block merchandising speeds the


shopping process

181

Most categories have a diamond hotspot (usually


around centre of fixture/signpost brand)

182

Source : ID Magasin collected knowledge

our brands & our communication need to


be at eye level in the diamond

Magical Moments Versus the Gondola


For many categories, mass presentation at retail creates a
disconnect with deeply rooted, emotional associations with
the category and the brands within it
eg chocolate (pleasure, reward, indulgence)
Skin-care (pampering, luxury, etc)
Bulk presentation diminishes the sensory triggers and
prompts purposive behaviour and a reluctance to browse

217

To engage the shopper - fixture should link to


category values

Presentation

Well organised, tidy and clean

Functional, though difficult to orientate

Assortment

Wide range

All brands

No O.O.S. problem

BUT

Not very stimulating or inviting. Looks pretty boring really


Just feelI should grab and go...

Guidelines

Siting

Powder acts as beacon to the Homecare Aisle. Location in back quartile of store
adjacent to other specialist fabric cleaning and care products

Macro Space

Space allocation and forward is in-line with market.


Premium brands should be allocated greater space versus rate of sale to drive visibility

Segmentation

Segmented Auto then Handwash to align to CDT. Brand Block to act as beacon, as
majority of brand choice made before store.
Flow Premium to Economy with each segment.
DOB acting as a natural buffer between the two (and meeting retailer
Need of situation next to market leader).

Visibility

Category visibility is strong, driven by bold brand blocks which aligns with how the
Shopper shops the category.

Signage

Strength of brand loyalty and brand blocks allow shoppers to easily locate their
favourite brands. Opportunity to enhance brand block and simplify selection with
clear segmentation signage and get Shopper to browse the entire run.

Equipment

Aisle flags, headers & base. Shelf Stripping. Shelf extensions
