Rawlinson’s dilemma
Rawlinson believes Quartz will become a mainstream product, but sales force and
managers considers it to be a niche product
Available Options
Targeting the customers:
◦ Directly through advertisements trough hoardings and TV ads
◦ High risk, high reward strategy
Targeting Do-It-Yourselfers:
◦ Electric showers are their leading product and if premiums can be offered for the Quartz then
this product can work in this market
◦ In addition, if Aqualisa could get its partners like B&Q to help push the product the need for
expensive consumer advertising can be totally avoided
Targeting Developers:
◦ Focus more rigorously as they can sell lot of showers and familiarize the plumbers also about
the product
◦ May not work as the developers look for inexpensive products and demand high discount rates
◦ The company does not feel like offering high discount rates for this break-through product
Available Options
Targeting trade shops:
◦ By promoting their product, its benefits and give them lucrative offers
◦ This will encourage them to sell their product to the plumbers (who are their customers) and thereby
increase sales of the Quartz
Targeting showrooms: We can get displays around the country and everyone can view its
benefits through demonstration
Targeting plumbers:
◦ Make them aware about the product
◦ To new or other plumbers on the fitting of Quartz
