Dear Colleagues
Welcome to the second Nestl Professional AOA Quarterly
newsletter 2010.
We have reached our goals for the first half of 2010. Our
RIG and OG stand at all time highs and I hope we will be
able to carry on this performance into the second half of
2010. Also, the profitability is in line with expectations.
In this issue, you will find some interesting work done in
different markets in AOA which can inspire us for the coming
months. If you come across good ideas, please speak to
your colleagues to use the knowledge to accelerate growth in the next months. In 2009, we
were able to get back on our growth path after a difficult start. Therefore, I feel that the second
half of 2010 will be more challenging and we have to put our focus on 2011. Continued growth
and acceleration are needed to succeed in today's competitive world. NP AOA will have to
continue to deliver high growth with continued improvement of EBIT.
This year, we signed a regional agreement with ISS and just recently, we established business
relationship with Nandos, a South African chain restaurant, to be the Global Strategic Coffee
Solution provider. This is a very exciting regional opportunity and many people, from the Global
team and Beverage Centre with the NP AOA Regional and market teams, were involved. I
would like to express my gratitude to them and let us successfully build the Nandos partnership
across AOA. Certainly, this will help us find more opportunities to work with customers across
our vast and diverse geographic region.
I hope you will continue to enjoy reading our newsletter. If you have any suggestions on how
to make it more appealing or inspirational, please advise me or Ai-Khuan, who has been a
great support to me in publishing this document quarterly.
The next issue is planned for end September 2010. Thank you for your continued support and
new successful stories to build our next newsletter.
Thank you also for the great results for the first two quarters in 2010 and for the tremendous
work you and your teams have put in to deliver them.
Good luck and every success to all NP AOA staff.
With Warm Regards

Nestl Professional achieves business milestone in debut partnership with Nando's


Nestl Professional has received the "go ahead" to implement the Nescaf Milano Caf Style Beverages
Solution and its Beverage Acceleration Programme (BAP) as the Global Strategic Coffee Solution of Choice at
Nando's restaurants.
Nando's is a fast-casual and quick-service restaurant
(QSR) group originating in South Africa (SA), with over
1,100 outlets in 34 countries. It is home to the
Legendary Flame Grilled Peri Peri Chicken. The
agreement to implement the Nescaf Milano Solution
began on 1 June 2010, with a 90-day test in 20 high
volume sites across SA, to prove the concept. In addition,
the Nescaf Milano Caf Style Beverages Solution will
also be implemented in 55 stores in countries throughout
the AOA region.
Should the 90-day trial prove successful, an additional
250 stores will be implemented in SA and the
solution will be introduced into remaining stores in various countries across the AOA region. Lastly, the
concept will be introduced as from Quarter 4, 2010, in the key markets of Oceania (270 stores), the United
Kingdom (225 Stores) and North America (35 Stores), in the context of a 5-year global agreement.

The New Nescaf Milano Solution


Nescaf Milano is a professional
dispensed coffee solution that
delivers a variety of Caf Style
Beverages to Out-of-Home
(OOH) commercial restaurant
customers. The solution was
developed by the R&D team at
the Nestl Professional
Beverage Centre, working
closely with the PTC in Orbe.
Milano leverages Nestls
patented turbo-chamber
dispensing technology to
deliver perfect crema on an
espresso, the perfect milk froth
on a capuccino as well as
beautifully layered lattes. The
solution also leverages our
manufacturing know-how to
produce new mid-yield
extraction soluble coffee,
improving end-cup quality.

AOA Quarterly June 2010

Milano reduces restaurant operational complexity by dispensing high quality caf style beverages consistently,
time and again. It provides operators with the opportunity to customise coffee beverages on the spot. As
a result, restaurateurs are trading up to capture the added value consumers are willing to pay for a premium
cup of coffee.
The solution creates competitive gaps generating two revenue streams: the sale of product and the sale of
an exclusive fully integrated service programme. The Nestl Professional BAP delivers a range of value-added
services with the express aim of enabling customers to capture and accelerate incremental same-store sales
growth.
How it all began
After a brief initial contact with the Nando's senior management in
November 2009, a follow up meeting was arranged at the Nestl
Professional Beverage Centre in February 2010. A team from the Nestl
Professional Beverages Commercial Unit at the Centre, the AOA region
and the SA market decided that even though Nando's was aggressively
seeking roast and ground coffee, the time was right for Nestl Professional
to introduce the new Nescaf Milano Solution and its BAP.
On 6 and 7 April 2010, the team, presented Nando's with Nestl Professional proprietary
industry insights, focusing on unique accelerated growth opportunities in coffee
beverages. This was followed by a compelling pitch on how the Nescaf Milano Solution
and its BAP could deliver against key industry drivers to accelerate Nando's entry
into the premium coffee beverages arena. The group was then invited to experience
a creative coffee beverages menu developed specially for Nando's, addressing their
consumer's specific coffee needs. The comprehensive presentation was attended by
the entire Nando's management team including their Chairman, CEO, their executive
board and senior personnel.
The Nando's team were inspired by the new Nescaf Milano solution and its BAP, quickly understanding its
value, making it their Global Coffee Solution of Choice.
In less than 60 days since receiving the green light, Nestl Professional has worked tirelessly to develop,
refine and implement the new Nescaf Milano and its BAP. The system is now installed, commissioned and
launched at 20 high volume Nando's sites in SA as part of the agreed 90-day test, just in time for the 2010
FIFA World Cup.
Marc Caira, Chief Executive Officer at Nestl Professional said, "This initiative is a truly exciting opportunity
for our business. We have created a lighthouse to guide our markets into the future - a clear example of
what can be accomplished for all to see".
Michiel Kernkamp, Head of Global Branded Beverages at Nestl Professional added, "The Nando's relationship
has enabled us to work hand in hand with a customer to validate the BAP, a premium 10-point fully integrated
service package we sell alongside our products. This now provides our markets with a clear way forward
on their journey to becoming a valued driven service partner".
The first steps - The South African trial
The Nestl Professional team in SA worked to very tight time-lines. In fact, from the day the dispensing
equipment and products arrived in the market, the team had exactly one week to deliver, install, train and
commission the new Nescaf Milano systems at 20 participating Nando's locations in Johannesburg,
3

AOA Quarterly June 2010

Durban and Cape Town. The South African team completed the installation with just 4 hours to spare. When
asked to comment on the initiative, Barend Minnaar, Country Business Manager at Nestl Professional SA
said, "The concept is already delivering a strong market presence for the new Nescaf Milano Solution in
major centres across the country. Our team has done a tremendous job and continues to work hard to
ensure we execute promotional plans flawlessly and make the trial a resounding success".
The initial feedback from Nando's and their franchisees has been overwhelmingly positive. Jeff Rakusin,
President of Nando's trading said, "We are delighted to serve your new Nescaf Milano premium caf style
beverages at our restaurants. In fact, this morning, I received a report from one location in Cape Town which
has gone from no coffee sales to 185 cups in the first three days of the programme. We are truly delighted
with the response we are getting from consumers and particularly pleased to have the support
of such a great global partner as Nestl Professional to ensure the projects' success".
Nestl Professional continues to work diligently to ensure that
Nando's expectations at local, regional and global levels are met.
"It is now crucial that we deliver the growth Nando's is expecting
during the trial by leveraging the BAP and executing the plan",
says Friedrich Mahler, Regional Business Head, Nestl Professional
AOA. He also added, "The regional team in Singapore, will now
work closely with markets to implement the entire solution in
13 additional countries across AOA in the next three weeks. I
am looking forward to leveraging the successes of the initiative
to expand the business beyond the Nando's system and into
the business."
A bright future
Once the business is fully implemented in 2011, the new Nescaf Milano Solution will
have been extended to 34 countries, with a presence at more than 1,000 Nando's
restaurants. In addition, the business will deliver integrated accelerated growth as
Nando's is projecting to reach 1,600 stores by the end of 2013.
The business will generate above-average profits from both the sale of products and
the sale of services in the form of a Beverage Acceleration Programme. This initiative
is a prime example of how to create competitive gaps through the rapid implementation
of relevant innovation in commercial channels, while strengthening the Nestl Professional
position as a growth driver at Nestl, through the sale of ingredients, and systems,
and service.

Nestl Professional CWAR: Launch of Nescaf Ginger and


Spice Senegal
-Alain Diop
Nestl Professional and Nescaf Senegal have decided to
be the prime movers in the launch of African coffee in our
Region. Jointly, we have collaborated to successfully bring
Nescaf Ginger&Spice to consumers.
Under the leadership of Alain Diop, NP Manager for Senegal,
100 Nescaf Field Soldiers were recruited.

The response from the


consumers was positive.
This was reflected in the
average sale of 70 cups
per day for each Nescaf
Field Soldier. Moreover,
it is estimated that the
recruitment of an
additional 400 Nescaf
Field Soldiers will be
needed in order to
achieve a total of 1,000
cups by the end of 2010.
A field soldier on his way to his
assigned market.

Based on this initiative,


all other countries in CWAR are developing their launch
plans which will be executed accordingly.

Training for our Nescaf Field Soldiers.

After taking part in a product usage workshop and a teambuilding session sponsored by Senegals Country Manager,
each Field Soldier was presented with a sales kit, comprising:
a Nescaf case
a Nescaf flask
Nescaf paper cups
Nescaf Ginger&Spice
a Nescaf apron
On 9 March 2010, all 100 Nescaf Field Soldiers started
selling Nescaf Ginger&Spice in the assigned markets.

Key learnings: It is critical to develop and implement


a One Brand Plan to ensure success. The benefits
are threefold:
Internally, we were able to reduce costs of developing
POP materials as a result of economies of scale.
Coordination and communication were also made
much easier.
Externally, the impact on customers and consumers was
impressive. When they heard the Nescaf jingle on the
radio or watched the TVC on a billboard, they were able
to buy a cup of our aromatic Nescaf from one of our
Field Soldiers on the street.
Finally, and in line with what Marc and Fritz mentioned
during their visit to CWAR, by leveraging on NiM, with
NP focusing on GD, we will ensure Top Line and
business growth.
Many thanks to Alain Diop and his team in Senegal. We
would also like to acknowledge the support given by
Senegal's Country Manager, Mr Alvaro Labarca and the
Nescaf team in Dakar. At the regional level, the close
collaboration between Erwan Vilfeu, BEM Nescaf, his team
(Setutsi Goka and Amma Yirenkyi) and the Regional NP
CBM (Patrick Stern) and NP Beverage Manager (Richard
Apaloo) also contributed greatly to this success.
All is now set for Nescaf Ginger&Spice to grow.

Our Nescaf Field Soldiers hard at work.

Nestl Professional GCR: Unique Carnation, Diverse Applications


Innovation through Application - NP Culinary competition rejuvenates Nestl Carnation
Filled Evaporated Milk and serves up delicious business opportunities
-Yu Yingjie

The use of milk products in Chinese cuisine is a relatively


new phenomenon and represents an exciting new growth
area for our branded culinary milks business. With the goals
of rejuvenating the Nestl Carnation Filled Evaporated Milk
brand and stimulating increased product usage among
professional chefs, Nestl Professional staged the Unique
Carnation, Diverse Applications national culinary contest
from September to December 2009 in mainland China.

The competition provided a platform for energising the


Nestl Carnation brand while promoting the creative use of
Nestl Carnation Evaporated Milks in Chinese cuisine. The
participating chefs produced a diverse range of innovative
Nestl Carnation culinary applications in well-established
areas such as soups, curries, dim sum and pastries, while
also creating many new applications such as sauces,
marinades and desserts.

The 3-month contest began in early September 2009 via


contest announcements in East Eat, the most popular
professional chefs magazine in China, and on
www.6eat.com, the chef's website associated with East
Eat.

A media event attended by leading culinary media helped


publicise the contest and the extraordinary potential of
Nestl Carnation Evaporated Milks in Chinese cuisine. In
addition, the Nestl Professional team selected key recipes
from the contest and created attractive recipes booklets both on hot dishes and pastries - which were then sent to
thousands of chefs throughout China, further extending the
influence of the contest. Other chef-focused publicity
activities are also planned, including chef blogs and digital
magazine programmes, to further enhance customer
intimacy.

The contest solicited recipes from two categories: Chinesestyle hot dishes and Chinese-style pastries. Either Nestl
Carnation Filled Evaporated Milk - NP highest-volume SKU
in mainland China - or Nestl Carnation Full Cream
Evaporated Milk were required to be used in all recipes. In
total, more than 1,000 recipes from around 800 chefs were
received from all parts of the country.
Placing a clear priority on innovative recipes that have
practical applications for real life restaurant usage, the panel
of food experts from Nestl Professional and East Eat
selected 20 finalists to compete in a final live cook-off in
Beijing. The finals were held on 16 December 2009 at the
Marriott Courtyard Hotel in Beijing, in close cooperation
with the China Cuisine Association.

Presenting the Special Gold Prize: Mr


Jeroen Pluijmers, Country Business
Manager, Nestl Professional GRC (centre);
Mr. Liu Xiujun, Vice President Of China
Cuisine Association (left).

Judging from the enthusiasm of the participants in the


Unique Carnation, Diverse Applications contest, the Nestl
Professional team expects that many more chefs will be
using Nestl Carnation Evaporated Milks in their dishes and this can only mean delicious, long-term business
opportunities for Nestl Professional.

Evaporated Milk in the award-winning entry
Creamy Beijing-Style Pastries

smooth richness to Chinese pastries.

Yam Noodles With Caviar showcases

Nestl Professional IndoChina (Thailand): Maggi Liquid Seasoning


becomes the icon of Chinese New Year in Thailand
-K Piyamas Wiriya-udomphol

Background of Marketing Campaign


With their long heritage, Thais and Chinese share a mutually
close relationship, creating a harmonised culture and an
integrated pattern of knowledge, beliefs, behaviours,
traditions, including food and special occasions.

As Thai-Chinese consumers reunite and celebrate with their


loved ones over a special dinner, our idea was to combine
the two key points and extend special offers to our loyal
operators during this festive period.
Key Message

Chinese cuisine and special occasions are very important


in representing a harmonised Thai-Chinese culture. Chinese
New Year is the longest and most recognised of all Chinese
special occasions, celebrated by Chinese communities
throughout Thailand. It is the time for families to reunite,
not only to welcome the new lunar year, but also to feast
together and wish each other good fortune.

Primary message: Great Aroma, Delicious and Healthy


from Maggi
Secondary message: Get Lucky! Increase your sales and
be prosperous in the Year of the Tiger
Target Customers: Nationwide operators

Chinese cuisine is central when it comes to celebrating the


Chinese New Year or other special Chinese occasions. It
plays an important role not only for daily consumption, as
evidenced by its extensive availability from local food stalls
to high-end restaurants, but also for special occasions and
celebrations, such as wedding ceremonies.

The campaign was divided into 2 phases.

Integrated Marketing Activites

Maggi Liquid Seasoning has been designated as one of the


key focus areas on which to build our food pillar in Thailand.
NP Thailand took this opportunity to promote Maggi Liquid
Seasoning's unique aroma and taste as the perfect
complement to Chinese cuisine during Chinese New Year.
Main Objectives of the Campaign
To associate Maggi Liquid Seasoning, with its great aroma,
as being part of Chinese cuisine and endorsed by
professional chefs and customers.
To build Maggi Liquid Seasoning as an icon of Chinese
New Year among Thai-Chinese operators in Thailand.
To generate trial and to boost up overall sales of the Maggi
product portfolio during festive occasions.
The Big Idea

The first was to educate users on product knowledge and


usage by providing training to all NP Thailand staff. The
training was conducted by professional chef, Chumpol
Jangprai, Maggi's brand ambassador, who demonstrated
the profile and usage of Maggi Liquid Seasoning with its
signature aroma through various recipes, eg. in steamed
fish, stir-fried fish and Chinese soups.

The idea was generated based on the following key points:


Using Chinese New Year as a celebratory occasion for
Thai-Chinese people to mutually express their sincere
thanks to their beloved ones.
Using the occasion whereby food operators extend best
wishes and present Lucky Angbaos to their family members
and close relatives.

Once the NP Thailand staff were well-trained on product


knowledge, all related activities were kicked-off through
key customer touch points to generate awareness, trial,
purchase, and brand relationship and preference. This was
done through product demonstrations, wet samplings, sales
blitz, promoting brand visibility in high traffic areas, 2nd
shelf displays, and Lucky Angbaos promotion.

AOA Quarterly June 2010

How We Delivered
A special package, comprising all products in the Maggi
range, was offered to our operators and AEs when they
make purchases of at least Baht 1,000 from January to
March 2010. The AEs took on the role of delivering the well
wishes and lucky Angbaos, as well as putting up lanterns
at operators shopfronts in order to build closer relationships.
Campaign in Action
Product Training Session to all NP staff

Building Brand Visibility in High Traffic Areas:


500 Maggi umbrellas were placed in high traffic areas
in order to build brand awareness during campaign.

In-Store Brand Visibility and 2nd Shelf Displays


In-store brand visibility was increased in order to reinforce
brand awareness on customers path to purchase.
Sales Blitz
The sales blitz was carried out across regions in order to
create trial for all products in the Maggi range as well as
to build team unity.
How We Won
Overall sales of the Maggi product portfolio increased by
18% during January to May 2010, compared to last year
sales in the same period. This was derived mainly from
sales of Maggi Liquid Seasoning, which saw an increase
of 60%.

Product Demonstrations & Wet Samplings


The customised workshop was conducted in the operators
premises in order to create trial and to build credibility
with potential customers. Product demonstrations and
wet samplings in store also were done
in key channels, i.e. at food service
wholesalers and MAKRO to
generate trial and first purchase.

Increased brand awareness of the Maggi product range,


and enhanced customer satisfaction and relationship
between current and new customers.

AOA Quarterly June 2010

Nestl Professional Israel: Winning the Arab sector


in the Israeli market
-Danny Fuchs
Israelis like food, are food connoisseurs and love
to eat. Over the years, they have developed
good taste, adopted influences from the
worlds best cuisines and, in spite of
its small size, Israel has evolved into
a mini culinary power.
Israeli cuisine is characterised by aromas and flavours that
are a blend of East and West, old and new, with mainly
Mediterranean influence stemming from a social fabric made
up of a Jewish population alongside an Arab population.
In the last decade, there have been many changes in the
habits of food consumption in the Israels Arab sector, the
most prominent of which is the gradual shift from the custom
of eating at home to a culture of going out to eat.
At NP Israel, we identified this new trend and followed up
by identifying the special needs of business owners and
chefs. We found that there were hundreds of restaurants
and function halls out there, all in need of direct distribution
of quality products in addition to a fair, competitive price
and top-notch service. Responding with alacrity, we prepared
a customised solution made to fit their needs, covering
variety, service and pricing, all especially tailored to these
businesses.
In order to initiate sales to clients in the Arab sector, in June
2009, we recruited a sales representative who has a strong
command of the Arabic language and is also familiar with
the Arab culture and traditions, and provided him with
appropriate training and tools. This initiative turned out to
be a great success which exceeded everyones expectations.

After
only 9 months
we have reached
already additional
sales of 700,000
NIS per month.

After only 9 months since the beginning


of the project, we have already
reached additional sales of 700,000
NIS per month (versus the original
target of 600,000 NIS), with much
more growth potential still to exploit.
To date, we have recruited 80 new
customers.

The key to our success has been our Osem-Nestl


Professionals very high quality service model based on
promoter, teleselling, direct logistics, advisory chefs and
customer service units. This high quality service, in addition
to our wide and unique strong portfolio of products and
solutions, have
brought a truly
innovative way of
satisfying the fast
changing needs of
the foodservice
customers in the
Arab sector in Israel.

driving growth in the Arab sector.

Nestl Professional Japan:


NP Japan forms Beverage
Business Department to
drive growth
-Jet Cornejo

In line with the strategy to grow the beverage business in


OOH, in particular the office channel, the Beverage Business
Department (NP BBD) was recently formed. This team is
responsible for Marketing and Sales with the purpose of
creating focus on the placement of systems into commercial
channels as well as driving growth of beverages in the office
channel. Japan has over 6 million offices and the objective
is for NP to own the office channel.
A NP BBD kick-off meeting was held and activities were
lined up in order to give the team deeper knowledge about
the world of beverages, new initiatives such as Nescaf
Milano, EZ-care and Sjora, including an introduction to a
simplified coffee profiling test, machine troubleshooting
and team discussions on how to attain strong growth for
the systems business this year. An ongoing programme is
in place to further develop people to drive the business and
obtain long-term sustainable growth in beverages.

Everyone hard at work at the BBD workshop.

Nestl Professioal Japan: Nestl Beauty Bar adds value


to NP Japan customers
-Tomoyuki Kokuhoh
Nestl Beauty Bar was created in 2009 as a new range of
healthy and refreshing beverages specially made for women
who want to feel naturally beautiful from inside out. Nestl
Beauty Bar comes in three varieties: Jasmine & Oolong +
Dietary Fibre, Karin & Yuzu + CoQ10 and Rose Hibiscus +
Collagen.

Nestl Beauty Bar is also available in city hotels and resort


hotels, presented as one of the services only for women,
as beverages in buffets, and as welcome drinks at the lobby.
This concept matches the needs of these hotels as they
focus their attention on attracting more women to their
establishments.

NP Japan was successful in introducing these products to


hotels as well as cafs, amenity catalogues and beauty
salons. So far, 40 machines have been installed and an
average of 40 cups per day are sold.

In addition, we have received requests from hotels to put


the Nestl Beauty Bar brand in their advertisements in
magazines and on the trains, as well as on their websites.
We are pleased that our brand value is increasing and this
in turn adds value to our customers' businesses.

Nestl Professional Korea: Special Agent success story


-JM Ryu
The performance of the machines
was measured regularly and we
continued to improve its efficiency.
In order to enhance the programme,
supportive programmes such as
vehicle branding, sales staff
uniforms, quality assurance trainings
and POP materials were introduced.
With the implementation of this
programme, we witnessed a significant
sales growth and this was contributed
by:
- a widely expanded machine
installation network
- established and stronger loyalty
from customers
- direct management of end
customers
The Special Agent kick-off.

Up till mid 2008, Nestl Professional Korea did not have an


exclusive solution partner, and therefore, we did not have
a pool of loyal users and customers from which to develop.
We also had difficulties controlling our machines.

By the end of the first year since its launch, we expect over
70% sales growth with over 4,200 machines deployed
working with 30 exclusive solution partners.

Nestl Professional introduced the Special Agent


programme in mid 2008 to resolve these issues and to
expand our Solution business.
These Special Agents work as Nestls exclusive solution
distribution partners.
We focused on newly growing channels with our Solution
programme, by promoting EZ-care and Kalina in PC Bang
(internet caf) and leisure channels as well as FD mini
vending in the office channel.
We provided machines to agents with the Free-on-Loan
scheme, although collateral was received in exchange
so that attention will be paid to managing the machines
effectively and properly.

Nestl Professional Korea: Cold beverage success in local


caf chains
-GH Jo

Davinci and Tom N Toms outlets which are popular with the locals.

Caf chains are one of the biggest and growing channels


in Korea. There are 1,400 cafes from the top 10 chains.
While there are limited opportunities in coffee, opportunities
abound in the cold beverages segment. However, over the
last few years, NP Korea has been facing difficulties in
penetrating this segment.
This is so as global chains like Starbucks and Coffee Bean
& Tea Leaf are using only globally sourced ingredients and
approval from their headquarters is needed for all of the
items on their menus.
As such, since 2009, our sales have been focusing on local
caf chains which have the authority to make their own
decisions quickly pertaining to menu items and ingredients.
We started with the Angel-in-Us chain which already has
235 outlets and is still growing fast. For the iced tea item
at this chain, all Lipton products were replaced with Nestea.
The expected sales is 61.5 MM per year.
The second success story, which took more than 5 months
of negotiation, came from the Davinci chain which has
105 outlets. Expected sales is 97.5 MM KRW per year.

12

This summer, on top of Nestea & Nestl Lemonade, we also


started selling Sjora in Tom N Toms (166 outlets) and
Sleepless in Seattles(70 outlets). The expected sales
volume is 152.8 MM KRW per year.
The most difficult hurdle was their perception of and brand
loyalty towards the Lipton brand, which is a market leader
in Korea, and is perceived as the tea specialist with a wide
range of leaf teas, iced teas and RTD. However, through a
blind tasting test with their staff and consumer tests at their
outlets, they could see the results for themselves and finally
accepted Nestea & Nestl Lemonade.
The key to success:
(1) Continuous and relentless approach with purchasing
team
(2) Blind tasting with R&D & marketing
(3) Consumer tests at limited stores (where possible)
(4) Annual contract price proposals
And, of course, this success of this cold beverage is only
possible because of our endless fire & passion.

Nestl Professional MAGHREB: Nescaf spoiling football fans


in coffee shops in Tunisia
-Fethi Rejeb
during the most important matches and they will then receive
an immediate gift (a Nescaf branded pen) and stand to
win a more important gift (a Nescaf premium set) by
participating in a lottery held at the end of the first half.
This event was organised by the NP team in Tunisia with
the assistance of an operational Marketing Agency. Infact,
a dynamic duo, a hostess and a supervisor, was placed in
each coffee shop with a clear mission: to welcome
consumers and encourage them to order a Nescaf (instead
of R&G coffee or other beverages) before and during the
match.
Key objectives of this
promotion were:
To increase Nescaf
consumption in the coffee shop
channel, one of the key channels for
the NP Business Development in
Tunisia.
To develop the relationship with the
main influencers in the coffee shops we
work with (owners & managers, barmen
& waiters and consumers).
The promotional poster.

During the African Football Cup held in Angola from 10 to


31 January 2010, Nestl Professional in Tunisia launched
a big promotion in more than 50 selected coffee shops in
the biggest cities of the country (Tunis, Bizerte, Sousse,
Monastir and Sfax). The objectives were either to increase
market share (inside the coffee shop) or to improve
penetration and brand awareness in this channel.
This operation was codenamed Live the Best Football
Moments with Nescaf. The concept was to invite the
consumers in these coffee shops to order a cup of Nescaf

Customers placing their orders.

13

Results are very encouraging. Nescaf turnover in these


coffee shops increased by almost 80% and this was very
much appreciated by the coffee shop owners and managers.
Sales have also increased by 60% in the targeted coffee
shops. The event created much excitement in several

Nestl Professional MYSG: Launch of Maggi Hainanese


Chicken Rice - Malaysia's favourite dish
-Wan Alleena Faiza Abdullah

The newly-launched Maggi


Hainanese Chicken Rice Paste
in a signature yellow tub.

Chicken rice is
undoubtedly Malaysias
most popular dish. The
dish is popularly served
with either steamed or
roast chicken, piping hot
chicken broth, fiery chilli
sauce and fresh
cucumber. Affordable,
filling and mouthwatering, Hainanese
chicken rice is often the
best selling dish in the
fast growing out-of-home
sector such as full service
restaurants, hawker stalls
and food courts.

In February 2010, Nestl Professional Malaysia launched


Maggi Hainanese Chicken Rice Paste. The paste is
conveniently packed in a compact and recognisable yellow
Maggi tub. Once opened, the paste exudes the fresh aroma
of ginger and garlic, guaranteed to amaze any chicken rice
chef or connoisseur. In line with Nestl's commitment to
nutrition, health and wellness, Maggi Hainanese Chicken
Rice Paste has no added MSG. The traditional method in
rice preparation involves cooking the rice in stock that has
been simmering for several hours with chicken meat and
carcass. Maggi is now offering value and providing a handy
one step solution for food operators.

Nestl Professional MYSG: Sjora launch in Singapore


-Jazzy Javier
The new Nestl Sjora was officially launched in Singapore
on 15 January 2010 at Park Hotel. The internal launch to
the NPSG sales team was held the year before on 3
December and the January event was to launch to
the distributors.

3) Marketing Activation
The last phase was all about broadening the top end of
the brand funnel - generating awareness and trial. The
most cost-efficient manner was to work with specific
customers and develop bundle meal programmes.

Conducting a separate launch for the distributor sales team


allowed for a more detailed briefing as well as a workshop
to ensure the distributor teams have a very good grasp of
the product. In addition, it also helped motivate them further,
as they truly felt part of Team Sjora SG.

This strategy proved very effective because the results


have shown that once Sjora was bundled, there was very
little swapping-out, i.e. consumers were happy to take
Sjora as the default drink and did not see the need to
ask that it be changed to CSD or iced tea. The cuppage
per day was also very encouraging; on some days, as
much as100 cups were shifted.

The journey of Sjora in Singapore to date has undergone


3 major phases:
1) Market Assessment
Research was done on the needs of consumers as well
as operators prior to the launch to fully ascertain the
opportunities available. A Consumer Acceptance Test, a
central-location testing quant study, was conducted first,
and overall, acceptance results indicated 78% Top 2 Box
scores. The team then approached selected key accounts
to validate the emerging NutriRefresh opportunity - and
the feedback was likewise positive - customers did think
that there was a growing need for beverages that are
both good for you, but still taste great.

Sell-in really began in earnest in February and within about


two months, the total NPS was already S$121,000 (CHF
93,000) and distribution points hit 100. Penetration will
continue in Q2, and we will be moving into MOP and
Education channels.
To sustain the momentum, the brand will move into the 4th
Phase of the journey: Consumer Engagement. Team Sjora
SG is working with some agencies for simple guerilla
marketing initiatives, so consumers can really get up close
to the brand and this serves to plant the seeds of affinity.
So watch this space for more updates!

2) Sales and Distributor Launch


Armed with positive consumer research and operator
feedback, two launches were then conducted. It was
decided that it would be best to separate the NP Sales
Team and Distributor Sales Team launches as each caters
to a different audience. The former was more strategic,
covering points such as consumption patterns and
NutriRefresh. The latter was simpler, more to ensure the
product proposition could be clearly explained.

Nestl Professional Oceania: A TAG conference to kick off


our six growth platforms
-Editha Del Carmen and Sally Brennan

The 2010 Nestl Professional Oceania Team at Manly Pacific.

The 2010 Conference was one of the biggest gatherings of


sales and marketing teams across all of the businesses and
the key to motivating everyone to grow the business further.

These growth platforms were presented via an interactive


trade expo - adding a much appreciated visual stimulus to
the conference. It provided extra enthusiasm to an already
high level of excitement.

Held at the Manly Pacific in Sydney, it went for two and half
days and unlike previous conferences, there was
representation not only from the Catering Team but from
the Beverage Solutions, CDS Gourmet Foods and New
Zealand teams.

And while growth was the ultimate goal, we realised that to


reach that goal, it was imperative that we also talked about
behaviours and attitudes, like teamwork, a sense of urgency
and passion, to achieve the growth we really wanted.

We introduced the theme TAG - Teamwork, Acceleration,


Growth - a theme that we reinforced in various ways
throughout the conference.

The 2010 conference was a huge success with motivated,


enthusiastic people leaving the next day to take our TAG
message back to their teams and in their day-to-day work.

One of the most important items on the agenda was the

4) Bakery Solutions

Nestle Professional Oceania: Nescaf LiquiFresh continues


to win new businesses
-Kerryn Holmes

LiquiFresh Liquid Coffee Machines are fantastic. They


deliver a great cup of coffee; theyre efficient, easy to use,
they save our staff time, us labour costs and because there
is little wastage, the overall savings to our sites is impressive.
- Kim B. Chilcott, Food & Beverage Manager, Twin Towns
Services Club
Twin Towns is the largest Services Club in Australia,
occupying almost five square kilometres of property spread
across four sites, straddling Coolangatta on the Queensland
border and Tweed Heads in New South Wales.
For 20 years, the Twin Towns Group had been supplied by
Amore Coffee, a local coffee company based in the Gold
Coast. However, in late 2008, with the help of Wally Carstens,
Beverage Operations Manager for Queensland/Northern
Territories, we secured the trial of two of our LiquiFresh
Liquid Coffee Machines in the Outrigger Twin Towns Resort
"Signatures" Restaurant.
These machines replaced the DE liquid coffee equipment
at back of house. For the staff, they were simple to use and
meant that they no longer had to run back and forth to the
kitchen trying to keep the jugs of coffee up with demand.
For the management, they freed staff up for other tasks,
reducing the cost of overtime and as there was minimal
wastage, saved the site money.
The Food & Beverage Manager was so impressed with the
trial results that we achieved placement of two more
LiquiFresh Machines, one in Flame, a busy
caf where a free-flow of coffee is included
in the breakfast offer, and the other in
their Stars auditorium.

The fantastic LiquiFresh


Machine.

We were now on a roll. Every


few months we successfully
gained placements on site
of more machines. We
installed two machines in
Breezes, a busy bar area
on the Gaming Floor where
around 500 hot beverages
are offered to patrons every
morning free of charge.
Two more LiquiFresh
machines went into the Twin
Towns Club Banora and a
soluble machine into the
Twin Towns Juniors Leagues
Club. We also now have
machines in the Services
Clubs dedicated Food
Court area and two portable
LiquiFresh machines have
been set up on a cart to be
moved around the site.

To date, in total there are 11 LiquiFresh machines installed


throughout the Twin Towns Services Club & Resort. And
the story is always the same: great coffee, easy to use,
more time, minimal wastage and saves money. We continue
to look at more opportunities as other contracts come up
for review.
It is great to work in partnership with major clients who
recognise the benefits of the service and solutions we
provide.

Nestl Professional Philippines: Relaunch of Nescaf


in BPO and offices
-Alex De Col and Carla Carballo
Channel Focus

The Opportunity

In the Philippines, the biggest coffee sales volume (Nescaf


and Coffee-Mate combined) is from the Business and
Industry channel. This includes the vending solution business
wherein we have been partnering with the No. 1 vending
operator for the past 15 years, Philippine Vending
Corporation.

Last March 2010, Philippines launched the new Nescaf


Burgundy framework to support its fundamental objective:
To increase coffee consumption by uplifting the perception
of Nescaf out-of-home from simply free coffee to coffee
consumers will be willing to pay for.
The first step was to improve the most vended white cup

Currently, the largest contributor in this channel


comes from the growing Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) companies wherein
penetration is at 95% of current moving universe
or 206,900 seats (390 accounts). The second
largest is Offices with 647 accounts and where
we see a big potential for growth. To date, we
have deployed 2,212 hot coffee machines in
these two sub channels. The nature of this
channel is that hot coffee is a standard employee
benefit usually given for free or subsidised by
the HR department for all employees.

Validated through
consumer research and
actual vended cup
readings in 2009,
Filipinos prefer to drink
a hot creamy and sweet
coffee cup. They mainly
drink coffee to perk-up
but the average coffee
cup consumed per
capita is still below 1 cup
per day. One of the
reasons of low
consumption is the bitter
taste of coffee. A
consumer test was also
conducted to test the
current most vended
white coffee cup and
results showed room for
taste improvement.

recipe leveraging on Nestle in the market with its new ICEQ


technology for Nescaf. This new preferred recipe
spearheaded the launch of the new burgundy designs and
hot coffee machines. A shift from ingredient-focused to
more descriptive and coffee shop-like machine selections
were also introduced, such as Creamy and Sweet Coffee
Brew as the new most vended white cup. Another addition
to the selections was the new Espresso shot which was
made specifically for stronger coffee drinkers who can drink
it as it is or add to any of the other machine selections if
desired. Initially, the launch took place internally in Makati
Nestl Centre and NBS-AOA as a dry run for roll-out to
BPO's and offices nationwide this year.
Our Next Step
All the hot coffee machines in BPOs and offices will be
transitioned to the new Nescaf Burgundy framework within
the year.
Also within mid 2010, the new Nescaf Burgundy framework
will support a new channel venture: launch of coffee in the
commercial segment through convenience stores. This will
include a locally developed new product, Nescaf Caramel
Macchiato, which will be tested for preference versus the
well-known Starbucks version.

Nestl Professional Philippines: Nestl Professional joins 1st


Creating Shared Value Forum in the Philippines
-Misha Rabat and Sunny Yu
On 23 April 2010, Nestl Philippines, in partnership with
the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), the
Asian Institute of Management, RVR Center for Corporate
Social Responsibility and the Asian Development Bank
(ADB), held the first Creating Shared Value Forum in the
AOA region. The theme for the forum was Creating Shared
Value: Beyond CSR. About 260 people from governmental
and non-governmental organisations, business institutions,
the Academe, media, businesses, bilateral and multilateral
aid agencies, and a number of Nestl employees actively
participated in this forum.
The Philippine CSV Forum aimed to engage a diverse group
of stakeholders - governmental and non-governmental
organizations and the private sector - in a pubic discussion
of the evolving concept of Creating Shared Value or CSV.
The forum was also a platform for the diverse group to hear
an experts focused discussion on our country's problems,
pertaining to Nutrition, Water and Rural Development.
Mr John Martin Miller, Chairman and CEO of Nestle
Philippines, opened the forum, encouraging the business
community and other sectors of society to form an era of
collaboration and to reinforce the
increasing role of the private sector,
particularly the multinationals
in development.

Mr Arjun Thapan, Special Senior Advisor to the President
on Infrastructure and Water from the Asian Development
Bank, then spoke on the topic of water. In his speech, he
mentioned that Managing our waters future is very much
a function of the choices we make today.
Rounding off the event was Mr Tony Meloto, Chairman of
Gawad Kalinga, who spoke on the topic of Rural and
Community Development. He said, I am happy that we
talk now about creating shared value because that is lasting...
CSV must help Filipinos end poverty in the Philippines,
Asians end poverty in Asia. It goes beyond profit and selfinterest. Some call it enlightened self-interest; Bill Gates
calls it Creative Capitalism. I just call it patriotism as a
Filipino.
The event was moderated by Ms Gang Badoy, Executive
Director of Rock Ed Philippines. In closing, Gang said, I
realised the Philippines is actually this room. We have
educators, people in business who have consciences,
people who prioritise social impact, sometimes over profit
but for the most part, a balance of it, this is the Philippines.
Thank you very much and please, I beg you, continue
creating shared value.

Professor Mark Kramer, Senior Fellow at


Harvard Universitys Kennedy School of
Government, who in collaboration with
Mr Michael Porter, also a Senior Fellow
at Harvard, coined the term CSV, was the
key note speaker for this event. Mr. Kramer
explained the need for transition from
Corporate Social Responsibility to CSV.
He emphasised the importance of
strengthening collaborative ties with
different sectors of society. He mentioned
the importance of providing competitive
success and at the same time really
making a material difference.
Following Professor Kramers lecture, Dr
Mario Capanzana, Director of the Food
and Nutrition Research Institute discussed
the topic of Nutrition. He emphasised the
need for promoting affordable but healthy

Nestl Professional Philippines: Nestl Professional visits


SOS Childrens Village
-Sunny Yu and Zander Taningco
On 15 February 2010, in keeping with NPIs commitment
to CSV, the entire Nestl Professional Mancom visited the
SOS Childrens Village Philippines. The group was
accompanied by David Laurel and Patricia Rabat of
Corporate Affairs.
SOS Childrens Village Philippines, founded by Dr George
Winternitz and his wife Susie in 1964, is a private, nonpolitical, non-denominational organisation providing longterm family-based care and education to children in need.
SOS aims to provide a home and family for orphaned,
abandoned and neglected children in extreme difficult
circumstances. Here, competent and responsible
SOS Mothers and co-workers provide
unconditional love, inspiration, support and
encouragement for these children to take
their place in society, enriched with their
God-given talents and contribute
their share to the progress of
the human family.
The key to the
success of SOS
Childrens Village is the SOS Mother. The SOS
mother builds a close relationship with every child entrusted
to her, and provides the security, love, and stability that
each child needs. As a child care professional, she lives
together with her children, guides their development, and
runs her household independently. She recognises and
respects each childs family background, cultural roots, and
religion. To run the household, each SOS mother is provided
a monthly allowance to purchase food and other items for
the household.

A Truly Inspiring Experience


During the visit, it was evident that the children in the SOS
Homes we entered were full of confidence and warmth.
During interviews, some children eagerly shared their dreams
and aspirations.
As SOS Childrens Village National Director Bienvenido
Delgado pointed out, we believe the measure of success
is not academic achievement but rather self-sufficiency.
Once the children are in our care, we work to make them
stand on their own two feet. We provide food and clothing.
We provide shelter and schooling. Most importantly, we
provide each child with a mother who will care and nurture
the child to adulthood. What we strive to provide
is a path to independence. We help them today
to make sure they will not need help tomorrow
as they grow to become mature, responsible
adults.
The Heroes
The Archbishop of Manila, Gaudencio B. Cardinal
Rosales, attested to the brilliance of the SOS model.
In a moving letter addressed to would-be supporters,
he said The genius in the SOS Childrens Village philosophy
is to place kindness, respect and trust, as it were nestling,
in the house mother, at many times assisted by an auntie,
in order that through and from them the children imbibe the
rest of the virtues. In this regard, the SOS Mothers, who
are single women volunteers who go through a rigorous
screening process and intensive 2-year training programme,
are the real heroes.
NP & SOS: Winning Lives together
What are the plans of NP in achieving CSV together with
SOS? As a start, NP will be focusing on Rural Development
of the CSV framework.

One of the key strategies for NP is to strengthen the routeto-market programme called Business On Wheels (BOW)
for the Out-of-Home Street Channel. A key element is to
have a steady supply of BOWers. In partnering with SOS,
NP can offer the BOWer programme as a livelihood
opportunity to SOS family members who have graduated
from the SOS Programme, providing them with a positive

path towards their journey to self-sufficiency. This can


also complement SOS Family Strengthening
Programme where livelihood opportunities are offered
to families outside the SOS village and in areas which
SOS supports.
For NP, this will be an excellent source/pool of potential
BOWers and even Business Development Officers as
we accelerate our expansion nationwide, helping fellow
Filipinos improve their lives in the process.

Nestl Professional ZAR: Nestl Professional sponsors the South


African Chef's Village at Hostex in Cape Town
-Tracey Felicidade Jones

Spectators look on while chefs demonstrate the latest culinary products.

Hostex took place in Cape Town from 8 to 10 March 2010


at the Cape Town International Conference Centre. It is the
largest and longest running exhibition of its kind in Africa,
and the only one endorsed by the South African Chefs
Association.
There were over 220 exhibitors and the South African Chefs
Village was once again the highlight of the 3-day show.
Hostex Cape Town was ideally timed to assist the industry
in meeting the demands of tourists, giving visitors a onestop destination from which to source the products and
services to meet the demands for the FIFA 2010 World Cup.
Nestl Professional was the proud naming rights sponsors
of the South African Chefs village and used this opportunity
to launch the new range of Maggi Premium sauces, as well
as to create product awareness for Sjora and Milo cold
beverages. Sampling in the past has always proven to be
successful in this product category as it allows the customers
to sample at their leisure. This same methodology was
employed at the event and it was a success!

The South African Chefs Village was filled with activity, with
demonstrations on the latest culinary products and trends,
competitions, and of course, the much anticipated launch
of the Maggi Premium sauces.
The Liven Up Your Menu campaign showed the 4 new
Maggi sauces in various applications with top chefs Martin
Kobald (Nestl Professional Corporate Executive Chef) and
Stephen Billingham (President of South African Chefs
Association) battling it out to try to present the best tasting
meal to the audience. The new sauces are available in
Wasabi Flavoured Plum, Teriyaki, Zesty Citrus and Spicy
Hot and Sour. Many chefs commented on the originality of
the flavours and the authenticity of the range which would
add excitement and new flavours to menus around the
country.
All in all, it was deemed a huge success and 6,000 visitors
had a chance to interact and experience the start of an
exciting innovation pipeline from Nestl Professional in
2010.

spices. Spicy hot and sour sauce is a true taste sensation
and chefs relish the flavour hit of spicy chilli, coriander,
garlic, capsicum and lemongrass. Wasabi Flavoured Plum
sauce is an essential blend that merges sweet, spicy and
savoury to perfection whilst the Zesty Citrus sauce is a
tangy blend combining the sweetness of citrus with garlic,
soy and ginger.
The sauces were launched in response to the need for
premium authentic tasting products which chefs can use
in their kitchens to create a base to creating innovative
recipes.
The sauces are ready to use and can be used in various
applications from marinating to stir-frying as well as being
used as a dip or dressing. A small amount of Maggi Premium
sauces is all one needs to experience intense flavour and
maximum enjoyment.

are intense in flavour, so only a small amount needs to be
added to any meal.
The best part about the new sauces is that our customers
love them. KFC, current sponsors of the national Protea
cricket team, love the Zesty Citrus sauce so much that they
made a Caribbean burger around the sauce, to show support
for our cricket team while they are playing cricket in the
West Indies. This burger was launched on 5 May and will
run as a promotion until the end of June 2010, promising
a volume of 14.6 tons.
We are confident that we will get great support for this new
sauce range as it brings a new flavour dimension into South
African professional kitchens!
