Marketing Case Study |
| The client company manufactured plastics and rubber products primarily to the footwear industry. They were market leaders in the products they manufactured. Considerable investment had taken place in the past in both plant and training of technical staff. As the footwear industry in the UK was in decline and production was moving overseas to India and the Far East, manufacturing utilization at the client company also declined. With vast experience of the industry a Business Adviser was able to look at he business in-depth, and determined that the technical skills and capability was already present at the client. A Marketing Plan was developed to utilize these skills to enter other industrial markets such as extrusions and hose moulding, fabric proofing and adhesives. Sales into these markets were grown from zero to over £400,000 in 2 years. Export sales were also developed in Europe and Australia by recruiting local distributors. |

Strategic Planning Case Study |
| The client was a member of a diversified industrial group of companies. There was a Divisional structure in place, with businesses manufacturing products, complimentary to the footwear manufacturing industry. The client company manufactured rubber and plastics moulding compounds used in soles and heels. Also within that Division were companies manufacturing soling sheeting in rubber and leather, together with plastics heels. Within other Divisions companies were manufacturing adhesives and coated fabrics used in footwear, as well as other industries worldwide. To develop an enhanced corporate image, and brand, to large footwear manufacturers world-wide, and India and Asia in particular, one of the team of Perrite Business Advisers brought these companies together, from different divisions, to market themselves as a large group able to supply all the materials required by worldwide footwear manufacturers. A new corporate image, and brand, for this grouping was developed and a marketing plan produced, which included advertising in worldwide journals and exhibiting as a group, whilst still maintaining the individual identities of the individual companies, at major exhibitions in Hong Kong and Europe. This produced a major synergistic benefit for the combined group, and as well as growing sales for the individual companies directly, sales distributors were appointed to develop new export sales for the combined grouping. |
