Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Malaysia has been known as the place for various kind of delicious food. Thus, the
food industry in this country prospers along the way since before independence. As
time evolves, influence from various parts of the world began to take place in this
region, creating a myriad of delicacies enjoyed by Malaysian.
One of the western deserts being cherished by Malaysians is soft ice cream. For the
purpose of this project, we chose a Malaysian company which sells soft ice cream
along side with its foreign competitors. The said company is MyBoss Enterprise,
which is selling MingoMingo brand soft ice cream.
With price as low as RM1 per cone, customers could enjoy delicious yet not too sweet
soft ice cream. Currently, the brand is offering catering services at events especially
wedding receptions and school’s canteen day. MingoMingo adds another variety of
soft ice cream competitor in Malaysia market.
MingoMingo is targeting low to middle income customer with its affordable price per
cone. Since everyone could enjoy the soft ice cream, the company decides not to set
any age limit for its target customers. The opportunity lies for this brand to fill up the
deserts corner in restaurant, food courts and malls. The brand owner sees Wafi Soft
Ice Cream as the closest competitor since it has similar modus of operation and almost
same product. He also sees McDonald’s sundae as a reliable benchmark.
The current brand owner is Mohd Syakir Bin Sa’adon, the Manager of MyBoss
Enterprise (SA0084267-U). He started as a distributor for Mingo-Mingo brand during
his undergraduate in year 2010. Later in early 2013, he bought over the brandname
when the previous owner decided to give up the business.
The brand is expecting 50-100% increment of sales turn over next year, given that
additional soft ice cream dispenser are acquired. For 2014, the projected sales amount
is RM650,000 (50% increase compared to 2013) and there will be additional 1

machine. Meanwhile for 2015, the projected sales is RM1,200,000.00 (85% increase
compared to 2014) and there will an additional 2 machines and a lorry.

2.0 PROBLEM STATEMENT
In general, the main concern that we need to address is how the product preposition
would enhance the customers’ awareness towards the MingoMingo brand. As public
knows the earlier company who sold the MingoMingo ice-cream was declared
bankrupt. Another concern is how the proposed marketing strategy able to expand the
market growth for the MingoMingo.
On the operation point of view, MingoMingo is looking forward to increase its profit
as it acquires more units of distribution equipments like the ice cream dispenser and
van. Along the way, the brand is also looking to have more staffs to handle the
business operation.
The opportunity which emerges in the journey of achieving the ideals for the brand is
to get more financial support from government bodies and banks. The procedure
which has been set up by those bodies requires tedious documentation, which is costly
to enterprise company.
In response to this problem, our group proposes to investigate several options for
making the brand more profitable. We plan to investigate the options for increasing
the brand sales while keeping the cost low. We will also find ways for the brand to
gain financial assistance in acquiring its fixed assets as it expands the business.

4.0 COMPANY BACKGROUND
4.1 Introduction
Kasturi Klasik (M) Berhad was established on 26th February 2007. The
establishment aimed to market MingoMingo ice cream brand. The company
was lead by Mr. Ramli Bin Mazlan. At the peak of its success, the company
owned more than 100 outlets and 500 soft ice-cream dispenser nationwide.
The company receives good support from the government and financial
institutions.
4.2 Company History
Mr. Ramli began to sell soft ice cream in 2006 in a small kiosk at a
supermarket in Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur. Due to overwhelming
response from the public especially during public holiday and festive season,
Kasturi Klasik (M) Sdn Bhd (763766-H) was formed and the soft ice-cream
has been registered as MingoMingo brand. Not long after that, the company
has been upgraded to Kasturi Klasik (M) Bhd.
The company aimed to produce its own soft ice cream by using technology
from USA and receive massive limelight during Buy Malaysia Campaign on
the next consecutive year.
In early 2009, the company expanded its business to Indonesia.
4.3 The Founder
Mr. Ramli Bin Mazlan is the founder and Managing Director of Kasturi Klasik
(M) Sdn Bhd. His passion for ice cream has led him to dream of a soft ice-
cream empire of his own, and he is pretty sure that he would achieve the
dream. Forking out a paid-up capital of RM2,000,000, he established and

4.5 Apprentice Entrepreneur Program
This is the strategy, which has been implemented by Kasturi Klasik (M) Bhd
to attract investors to invest in their company.
Investor will buy the ice-cream dispenser machine and they need to manage
the business on their own, with training provided by the company beforehand.
However, if the investors decided not to manage the business, they could rent
the soft ice-cream vending machine to Kasturi Klasik (M) Bhd and receive
fixed amount of rental monthly. The rented soft ice-cream vending machine
then will be lend to unfortunate young people who cannot afford to buy the
soft ice-cream vending machine. These unfortunate youngsters will receive
commission based on their ice cream sales.
This strategy is found to relieve company from the burden of buying the soft
ice-cream vending machine all by the company money. Instead, the company
could get the investors to do the job for them. In order to utilize the machine
and increase their product stock flow, the company could benefit from the
unfortunate youngsters effort to sell their ice cream. At the same time, the
company could be seen by the public as performing a good deed to the society
by providing job to the unfortunate youngsters.

4.6 New Brand of MingoMingo
On January 2013, Kasturi Klasik (M) Berhad has been declared bankrupt. The
MingoMingo brand then was taken over by one of its distributor, Mr. Mohd
Syakir Bin Sa’adon.
Back in 2010, Mr. Mohd Syakir Bin Sa’adon purchased the Intan Package
worth RM30,000 to become a part-time distributor for MingoMingo soft ice
cream. He was 27 years old back then, a Polymer Engineering student in
Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam. The opportunity that he
encountered during the business is the location provided by the university for
him to sell MingoMingo soft ice cream is not strategic. Besides, the fixed
rental for the business location need to be paid in advance monthly, regardless
during the semester break or not.
Mr. Mohd Syakir Bin Sa’adon decided not to open his business for franchise
due to complexity of managing the franchisee especially ensuring the same
quality of product and services.
4.7 The Company’s Current 4’Ps
Currently, the company’s target market covers the age range of 2 years old
toddlers till the senior citizens.
a) Place
The soft ice cream will be distributed based on invitation only. The location of
the distribution purely depending on the location of the event. Normally, the
soft ice cream will be distributed in wedding reception and school canteen
day.
b) Price
The price of the soft ice cream is RM1 per cone.
8
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
c) Product
The cost for each cone of the ice cream is 50% of the selling price. In other
words, the cost for each cone of ice cream is 50 cents. The soft ice cream is
available in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and combination of any two of the
flavors. The pleasant taste of the soft ice cream is loved by everyone,
including those who do not prefer overly sweet ice cream.
The Point of Difference (POD) of the product is the ice cream mixture is not
injected with air, resulting a richer, milkier taste. At the same time, the cone is
tasty as it is made of the ingredients used to make biscuit, compared to the
other cone, which is tasteless.
d) Promotion
Currently, MingoMingo is being promoted via word-of-mouth. Clients can
also place their order via e-mail to the address [email protected].
Besides that, MingoMingo has been invited to be interviewed by local
television channels TV1 and TV2. However, the offer has been turned down
by Mr. Mohd Syakir Bin Sa’adon since he is afraid that he cannot cater the
demand to be received after the publicity.
Currently, the company has 1 lorry, 1 part time staff and the recipe of
MingoMingo ice cream. The company is currently trying to get financial
support from TEKUN and SME Bank. The fund will be used to buy fixed
assets required in order to expand the company operation.
Once the fixed asset is acquired, the company is looking forward to offer these
packages for those who are interested in the business:
i) Self-Managed
The distributor just buy the soft ice cream dispenser, not using
MingoMingo brand and the rest of the equipment need to be purchased
separately from other companies.
9
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
ii) Self-Managed but still under MingoMingo
Bounded by terms and conditions set by MingoMingo
Given that that the company has enough fund, it is planning to acquire at least
another 2 soft ice cream dispensers, which costs RM15,000 each. The
company also planning to buy a bigger lorry which could accommodate 4 soft
ice cream dispensers and also a generator to support the cooling function of
the soft ice cream dispensers. The company is looking at Wafi Soft Ice Cream
as its main competitor, since the company is selling at the price of 50% less
than MingoMingo during its promotional period.

5.0 SITUATION ANALYSIS
5.1 Market Summary
a) TRENDS
Despite rising health concern among consumers in Malaysia in 2012,
consumers still show interest in non-health and wellness ice cream as a
personal treat. Furthermore, consumers in Malaysia still perceive sugar-
free or low-fat healthy ice cream products as tasting differently to more
traditional products. In addition, health and wellness ice cream is also
more expensive than regular offerings, which limits demand among
consumers who are relatively sensitive to price.
b) COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Unilever (M) Holdings Sdn Bhd led ice cream in 2011 and 2012 with a
36% value share. Factors contributing to the dynamic performance of the
company were mainly its large selection of brands, for example, Wall’s
Selection, Magnum and Cornetto. Furthermore, Unilever, being a giant in
chilled ice cream producer also ensures that the company constantly
conducts marketing activities and promotions to increase brand awareness
within Malaysia.
11
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
c) PROSPECTS
Ice cream is projected to show an increase in constant value terms over the
forecast period with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2%.
With improvements to the economic situation in Malaysia, consumers are
more willing to spend on indulgence products to reward themselves.
Furthermore, a new product range and new flavors of ice cream are
constantly being launched in Malaysia. This is expected to stimulate
purchases of ice cream among consumers. Lastly, more healthy ice cream
products, such as sugar-free ranges, are expected to be introduced over the
forecast period due to rising health awareness among Malaysians.
5.2 Market Needs
a) PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
Easy to purchase soft ice cream, currently when the customers want to buy
this Soft Ice Cream, they need to get from kiosk and mobile unit like van.
These outlets normally located inside Shopping Complex and
hypermarket. As we can see from the chart above, the ice cream market
penetration is quite high for Malaysia. As such MingoMingo need to be
more visible.
The machine from USA and Europe will be more expensive compare to
China machine. In China, there are many factories or producers that
12
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
making the ice cream machine, suggest buy the machine with using the
imported part, meaning that the main compressor, valves and few more
critical components are good quality type imported from other country.
Ingredients will determine ice cream quality. There are two common types
of premix ingredients in local market, in powder or liquid form. Good and
tasty ice cream is made from good quality ingredients.
5.3 Variety of Product Flavors
Currently, MingoMingo only sell Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry flavor to
the customers. Additional flavors will give option to the current customers and
bring in new customers.
5.4 Competitor Analysis
The chart above shows the current availability of the soft ice cream outlets in
Selangor. MingoMingo and Wafi soft ice cream outlet is limited to the static
outlet they are at the moment, either one or two. However for McDonalds they
have more than 30 outlets in Selangor itself.
MingoMingo and Wafi soft ice cream is available for customers event at their
place. Both provide and attractive package for the ice cream desert for their
guest.
13
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
The current pricing structure is quite competitive because of the ice cream
sizing and their flavors availability offered to the customers. McDonald sells
the most expensive soft ice cream.
5.5 SWOT Analysis
a) Strength
MingoMingo has been established for quite some time already. During that
time, the initial company manages to bring many franchises to join the
company.
Existing and royalty customers still available and they are looking forward
to enjoy MingoMingo soft ice cream every time they could.
Less time is needed to prepare the ice cream compare to chilled ice cream
to sell. This is because the ingredients are available and need to add into
the soft Ice cream dispenser. Minimum times spend to train staff and it
does ensure the consistency of the ice cream flavor.
Next, MingoMingo do sell the ice cream at customer within Klang Valley
on a mobile van. This ensures the customers can find the products not only
at the shopping complex. Attending customers’ event like weddings and
company events do help to promote MingoMingo to potential customers.
14
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
b) Weakness
Production for the MingoMingo on the mobile van is quite limited. At the
moment the production of MingoMingo ice cream depend on the single
soft ice cream machine. As a result, MingoMingo is not able to fulfill
customers request on the same day if she already commit to an event.
Next, MingoMingo too depend on event sales at the customer side. The
current static kiosk in Shah Alam is not located strategically to the
potential customers. To find another location normally need MingoMingo
to spend capital for outlet rent 12 months tenancy in advance.
c) Opportunity
The current increasing customers’ ice cream consumption trend in
Malaysia and Selangor specifically shows a very good sign to the business.
Production for ice cream in Malaysia shows CAGR of 2%. As a result this
good trending do benefits MingoMingo to provide what the customers
want.
Beside, MingoMingo do receive requests from customers to open the
outlets in their area in the near future. This is because they are not able to
find the replacement for MingoMingo ice cream flavors. The product’s
POD is incomparable.
d) Threat
Potential cost increase for the raw materials cost due to new GST structure
to be implemented in 2014. This is because some of the materials direct or
indirectly are being affected by this initiative.
Next, challenges from the direct competitors like Wafi and other soft ice
cream vendors in Malaysia. Everyone will see this opportunity and try to
15
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
grab the market share. As such price war could happen to lure the
customers to buy their product.
MingoMingo also face threat from the previous investor who are not
successful in their mentor-mentee program. As such this will give wrong
perception to the customers when MingoMingo doing the business.
16
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
6.0 DETERMINING THE MARKET SEGMENTATION & TARGET MARKET
MingoMingo takes every customer as target and potential who is ice cream lover. All
age groups including children, teens, young adults, middle age and elderly are being
targeted but the most Mingo Mingo potential customers are from;
a) Higher Income background
b) Middle Class background
c) Lower Class background
The companies like Baskin Robbins and Tutti Fruti are classified as higher end and
middle end products and they are costly as compared to MingoMingo. The companies
like Walls and Nestle Ice Cream are middle end brands. They provide low prices and
they are for price conscious people who belong to middle class and lower class of the
society. Meanwhile for MingoMingo, it targets the three major classes of the
Malaysian society. Price ranging from RM 1 to RM1.30 is affordable for every class
of Malaysian society.
In order to penetrate the market of three major classes of the Malaysian society,
MingoMingo has being doing business in the various events such as birthday party,
weddings and also family day. Other than that, the places like ‘Desert Corner’ which
can be found at cinemas, shopping complexes and theme parks also being explored to
reach the target market. MingoMingo also prefers to focus on the customers in Klang
Valley, because most of the population in Klang Valley belongs to middle class &
lower class which are highly potential customer.
17

18
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
8.0 RECOMMENDED MARKETING STRATEGIES
Based on the study done for MingoMingo in specific and ice cream or deserts (food)
industry, taking considerations on its current financial status, we have decided to
focus on product and promotion as the marketing strategies. We believe with the
implementation of this, customers will get to know and aware of the existing of
MingoMingo brand. Once the customers are aware of the brand, it will helps to
increase the market growth as well which indirectly will boost the sales target which
indirectly translates to a higher income.
8.1 PRODUCTS
As for the products, first of all, MingoMingo needs to provide more choices in
terms of flavors and toppings such as local fruits flavors like jackfruit, durian,
sweet corn, lemonade and Tropicana.
MingoMingo also should offers more varieties of product such as ice cream,
yogurt drink and smoothies drink in their deserts corner. Basically we have
suggested that instead of operating via events, MingoMingo can also open up
a deserts corner in malls that offers a lot of indoor activities. For example,
those who loves to spend their time watching movies or playing bowling, can
have their plenty of choices from MingoMingo Deserts Corner after the
movies or bowling. As a beginning, we will start to open at 1 or 2 malls first.
In addition, MingoMingo also should provide varieties of packaging and sizes
in order to accommodate different needs and demands. The current serving
that MingoMingo has cones. Moving forward, we would suggest MingoMingo
to provide in cup, or in container and in varieties of sizes.
8.2 PROMOTION
Current promotion is tied up with events such as wedding’s reception or ‘Hari
Kantin’ organized by school. However, we will expand further on the varieties
19
Marketing Management (GSM5200)PROPOSING A MARKETING PLAN FOR MINGOMINGO SOFT ICE CREAM
of events such as Family Days (individual or corporate sector), any other
events which supply the coupon as a medium of transaction. Others event that
we look into, such :- Festivals like Hari Raya 1 Malaysia.
There are few marketing communications that MingoMingo could explore
such as :-
i) Sales Promotion – With a certain number of guaranteed order, we will
give a certain rebates, especially those orders associated with the
events. Hence, sales promotion we could also tied up with events.
Since now we will aggressively focusing on varieties types of event,
hopefully it will boost the sales target.
ii) Using the internet as the mass marketing communication such as :-
MingoMingo should grab the opportunity to do mass marketing
communication via the free social network such as Facebook, Twitter
and Google+. For the website, customers would want to experience
more interactive marketing while browsing the website. We would
suggest MingoMingo to add the attractive column such ‘recipe of the
week’ which suggest or provides recipe of what is good to go along
with certain flavor for example. In addition of this, MingoMingo also
could send the mass email to clients on the updates or promotions that
we have. Joint promotion with groups such as Groupon and
Booking.com.
iii) Advertising – advertisement such as posters, insertion in magazines
such as magazine ‘Rasa’, ‘Saji’.

10.0 CONCLUSION
MyBoss Enterprise which is holding MingoMingo brand is having a financial
difficulty. Immediate action in getting financial assistance need to be taken if the
company is, in the first instance, going to survive competititon from Wafi soft ice
cream and benefit from the opportunities that the company has been giving up to, then
grow. The key area of reform is product and promotion. Management must address
these areas simultaneously if the company is to overcome its present unfortunate
situation.
