Factors affecting food marketing in New Zealand and internationally, and their influence on the development of the food industry including product development and marketing research for effective food marketing.
New Zealand is still critically dependent upon adding value to food products. This paper looks at the business of value added by food marketing. It examines the peculiarities and pitfalls of this ancient and ruthless marketplace. The critical importance of market power structures, category management, the point of sale environment and point of sale communication is thoroughly addressed.
The paper gives students the chance to work with a real client in producing a design that will increase the performance of their product at the point of sale. Tasks include design, communication plan development, full-sale commercial field trials and set-piece commercial presentations.
