Core strategy

Product

The benefits of low-fat milk will be elementally positioned as a tasty, attractive and competitively priced alternative to high-fat whole milk (Turning Point, 2003). On the other hand whole grain carbohydrates will be positioned as nutritional, satisfying, more energy giving, and competitively priced than refined carbohydrates. 

Price

Low-fat milk and whole grain carbohydrates were made available at comparatively low prices than their counterparts in order to encourage the target audience to buy them. This pricing strategy was elementally aimed at discouraging target consumers who form the bulk of the sales of whole milk and refined carbohydrates to buy these alternatives.

Place

Through qualitative research carried on the target audience groups it was established that the low-fat milk and whole grain carbohydrates would make more gains if they were positioned in more outlets than their counterparts, which were traditionally positioned primarily in retail outlet. Hence, the distribution framework consisted of critical whole sale points from which retailers get their supplies, establishment of more manufacturing units to cater for the clientele group, and retail centers for ease of access by the final consumer, which is the target audience. Some of the retail centers will effectively include school/college/university canteens, hospital canteens near post-natal/ante-natal units, supermarket, and small retail shops or snack bars.

Promotion

First, the interest groups or audiences will be effectively targeted in a hierarchical manner with an aim of impacting positive behavior change at critical stages. This is primarily because effective public health action ordinarily requires the organization of interest groups and not just assessing the problem and formulating a line of action (Novick and Morrow, 2007). Secondly, media campaigns will be conducted via television and radio shows carried in a co-hosting manner within the existing programs especially focusing on programs having more viewers and listeners. Thirdly, promotional events will established in elementary school, colleges, and university settings by featuring famous local artist groups and sports personalities to appeal to these groups. This will also comprehensively cater for entertainment perspectives. Lastly, feasible advocacy strategies will be used focusing on positive voting behaviors, direct lobbying, electioneering, grassroots lobbying, media advocacy, and internet usage (Galer-Unti, Tappe, & Lachenmayr, 2004).

Moreover, policy initiatives will be required to stipulate better nutritional standards for vulnerable populations who may include children between 2 and 12 years, students in education institutional settings, and senior adults
