4.0 Marketing and Sales Strategy
Marketing involves market research, sales, and promotion to boost sales. It will plan
company growth, communication, and sales. Information technology uses microelectronics to
acquire, process, store, and transmit aural, visual, textual, and numerical data. Every
well-planned marketing plan should start with the company's value proposition, which informs
consumers what the brand represents, how it conducts business, and why they should buy it.
This provides a methodology for marketing teams to organize actions for all company products
and services. Crunchy Munchies Sdn Bhd, a tiny firm, sells fashionable chips at low pricing.
Marketing strategies must last longer than individual marketing programmes because
they involve value propositions and other brand elements that endure. Marketing plans detail a
campaign's details, while marketing strategies address wider themes. Sales strategy, which
involves autocratic decision-making and emergent strategy formulation, boosts sales growth. A
good sales plan is a clear roadmap that helps salespeople close deals and meet revenue
targets. To let customers test our chips, Crunchy Munchies gives limited-time complimentary
samples.
15
3. Place: On-the-Go Accessibility and Strategic Distribution
On-Campus Presence: Given its UUM background, Crunchy Munchies utilizes "Place" by
having a strong campus presence. This includes targeted placements at campus canteens,
vending machines, and events. The brand's target demographic of university students may
easily get the snacks on campus.
Crunchy Munchies balances their marketing mix to appeal to its customers. Its tasty
innovation, affordability, strategic accessibility, and engaging marketing make it a dynamic snack
brand. Crunchy Munchies must modify its marketing mix to shifting customer tastes and market
circumstances to succeed in the competitive snack sector.
Crunchy Munchies Sdn Bhd sells stylish, healthful foods. Fat and salt are essential to
our health. They also release dopamine, which regulates the pleasure center. Oily and salty
dishes satisfy and delight. They also come with different flavors and textures to suit different
moods. Traditional, spicy, cheesy, sour, sweet, and unusual chips are provided.
Crunchy Munchies, owned by university students, must use price to gain market share
and brand recognition in the snack sector. To attract price-sensitive students, penetration pricing
starts low. The owners want to build brand loyalty by giving an inexpensive product to their
peers with limited budgets. Strategies promoting the product's quality, originality, and health
advantages support this strategy. As the brand grows, Crunchy Munchies' price may reflect its
worth.
Using bundle pricing to discount several products is another effective Crunchy Munchies
method. Customers are more likely to try new flavors, improving purchasing value and pleasure.
16
Crunchy Munchies boosts sales and gives customers variety and value by offering bundle
packages.
A student discount programme fits the target demographic since the firm is operated by
university students. To appeal to students' budgetary restraints and build camaraderie, Crunchy
Munchies offers exceptional deals. Promoting these discounts at important times strengthens
brand loyalty and positions Crunchy Munchies as a student-focused company. Crunchy
Munchies' pricing approach of penetration pricing, bundle pricing, and student discounts
addresses the different tastes and budgetary concerns of its target demographic in the dynamic
snack sector.
Understanding the digital age, Crunchy Munchies has a strong web presence. The
company's website lets consumers shop, learn about the brand, and make purchases. This
internet platform allows Crunchy Munchies to reach a wider market and build a loyal online
consumer base outside the campus region. Crunchy Munchies strengthens their relationship
with college students and young workers by strategically using Facebook and Instagram. Visual
storytelling, real-time interactions, marketing, and community-building strengthen Crunchy
Munchies' brand presence and flexibility in the snack business on these platforms. These
flexible marketing tactics will help the firm expand and satisfy client demands as it grows.
Crunchy Munchies uses the internet to reach their target audience— college students
and young professionals. The brand builds an immersive online presence via social media,
17
search engine optimisation, and online advertising. Instagram and Facebook posts highlight
Crunchy Munchies' delicious flavors and lifestyle. The brand boosts brand exposure,
engagement, and sales using targeted online advertising, influencers, and interactive content.
The company promotes experientially via university events, local fairs, and pop-up
stores. Customers may taste and engage with the brand via these experiences. Customers may
share their experiences on social media via sampling programmes, sweepstakes, and
interactive displays, forming a Crunchy Munchies community.
Crunchy Munchies' sales strategy is based on the premise that knowing and meeting
client demands is essential to success. We make snacks with quality and dedication.
Community participation and environmental sustainability are our priorities, but consumers are
first. As a campus center location, we seek to attract a varied audience and meet university
community needs.
One of our sales strategies uses scarcity. Limited production gives our treats a sense of
urgency and exclusivity, increasing their value. Scarcity enhances client loyalty and emotional
connection to Crunchy Munchies. Crunchy Munchies uses social media to boost sales and
marketing and increase reach. Contests, countdowns, and sneak peeks generate customer
18
anticipation. This dynamic use of social media boosts sales and public recognition and builds a
brand community, deepening our audience connection.
19

via established shops, increasing exposure and accessibility. In the digital age, Crunchy
Munchies uses its website and online marketplaces to expand its reach nationally and
internationally.This multi-channel sales strategy positions Crunchy Munchies for success by
catering to diverse consumer preferences and making its premium snacks accessible to a wide

programmes let consumers try the distinct flavors before buying. Both retail and local event
programmes build a direct and sensory connection with prospective customers, turning
samplers into pleased customers and brand evangelists. Crunchy Munchies also optimizes their

and special events. This strategy boosts sales by promising limited-time flavors or packaging.

promotions by using these diversified and effective sales strategies.
