The story of NESTL coffee begins in Vevey, a small town in Switzerland, where a pharmacist named Henri Nestl was searching for a healthy, economical alternative to breastfeeding for mothers who could not feed their infants at the breast. In 1866, his solution was ready. He called it Farine Lactee Henri Nestl, and it soon became popular in much of Europe. It was the birth of one of the worlds favorite food brands. The NESTL company soon expanded into chocolate and other food products, but it wasnt until 1930 that they put their expertise into coffee.
Soluble coffee
Brazilian coffee meets Swiss science. Thats how NESCAF was born. It all started in 1930, when the Brazilian government asked the NESTL company to create coffee cubes. The Brazilians goal was to use their large coffee surplus. Eight years of research resulted in a coffee that could be made by simply adding water but which retained the coffee's natural flavors. Soluble coffee was introduced to the world on April 1, 1938. The new product was named NESCAF a combination of NESTL and caf. Nes means Miracle cafcoffee; miracle with coffee During World War II, it became the staple beverage of the US armed forces and, from then on, its popularity really took off. NESCAF has become the favorite coffee of many generations all over the world. NESCAF has over 70 years of expertise in selecting the best beans, blending, roasting and extracting the flavor of coffee. Our commitment to quality is tested millions of times every day by millions of coffee lovers around the world
The fact is that soluble coffee only became a product worth drinking with the launch of NESCAF in 1938, after eight years of dedicated work in Switzerland.
Continuous quality improvements have gone hand in hand with the growth of their popularity. Technical developments have helped retain the coffee aroma. Packaging was also improved during the 1960s and 70s with the move from tins to jars. In 1965 NESCAF pioneered premium freeze dried coffee in Europe with NESCAF GOLD and one year later decaffeinated NESCAF was launched. NESCAF coffees are now available to suit all tastes and in a wide range of packaging. Each country has a slightly different taste in coffee which is reflected in the local varieties of NESCAF products. Wherever you are, you can trust that stringent quality standards and diligent coffee masters ensure that every cup is a delicious part of your day.

NESCAF logotype
NESCAF a combination of NESTL and caf. Nes means Miracle cafcoffee; miracle with coffee . NESCAF in capitals with a line going from the top of the N to the accent on the E. Another well-known brand element is the mug, with its energetic red color. Yet none of these branding elements would be so successful if the quality of our product didnt contribute to create extraordinary moments and inspire the simple joys of life.
Nescafe Logo
Brand Perception
Nescaf logotype was always the same since its origin. The logotype borrowed the same Nestl format, and the word Nescaf is a combination of the first three letters of Nestl and caf, which is coffee in Portuguese. The semantics of the brand name basically describe the product, and also the phonetics are smooth for most languages. Basically the logotype improvements followed the same improvements made on the Nestle logotype. The symbol added to convey the brand meaning was the red mug. Most commercials scenes show someone holding the red mug with the Nescaf logotype written in the vertical position. Probably the red color of the mug was chosen to emphasize the energy of the drink, since coffee is a stimulating drink and red is perfect to describe this state of mind. Therefore, the semiotics triangle would display on the sign side, the red mug, on the object side, the granulated instant coffee, or the product itself, and on the interpretant side, the wellness state of a good cup of coffee.
NESCAF Formats

Coffee Blends
What do you get when you take two or more types of coffee beans and put them together? A coffee blend! By combining different types of beans as well as adding flavors, a coffee professional can give coffee a more complex or balanced taste.
Coffee beans, whether Arabica or Robusta, can have very different tastes if they are from different regions. Some beans may have a good level of acidity but lack aroma, body or color. A blend may be made of up of two or ten different types of beans in varying quantities in order to get a good balanced blend. Roasting is also part of blending, as beans can be heavily roasted to have a strong flavor or lightly roasted for a milder taste
NESCAF milestones
1938: NESCAF introduced in Switzerland 1965: NESCAF achieved an important breakthrough with the launch of the first freeze-dried coffee in Europe - NESCAF GOLD. 1980: NESCAF launches the first gourmet soluble coffees NESCAF President in Japan, NESCAF ALTA RICA and NESCAF CAP COLOMBIE in France. 1984: NESCAF launched trendy coffee products such as coffee mixes, coffee mixtures, ready-to-drink coffee and flavored soluble coffees. Instead of asking Would you like a coffee? the question became which coffee would you like?
Nescafe in India
The coffee with life in it. Made in just 5 seconds. Thats how Nescafe announced its entry into India, in 1963. Before the ad campaign hit billboards across the country, Indian coffee lovers were stuck with the idea that coffee is something that takes minute attention to prepare and cannot be instant.
Nestle changed that thinking forever as it did elsewhere in the world much earlier in 1938 which is evident from the fact that more than 4,600 cups of Nescafe, the worlds first commercial instant coffee, are being consumed every second.
Year 2013 is an important milestone for Nescafe in India as it completes 50 years in a country which took time to warm up to the idea of instant coffee.

Consumer Values
This study already shown the history the changes of Nescafs along the years. During this period, the values related to the consumer also have developed. During the 50s and 60s, the brand values were more family oriented. Advertisements usually shown family reunions, special around the table during the time of the meals. Initial campaigns created awareness of hot instant coffee, its invigorating qualities, and the easy and fast way of making it. The period between the 60s and the70s was more youth oriented. The brand was more focused on the young people, specially groups who had relation with the music. Hippies and rock fans were targeted with specific advertisements. The youth oriented values followed the 80s and 90s, but as the Nescaf product array broaden, different values were added, such as sophistication (with the Gold Blend) and differentiation (with cappuccinos and mochas). The brand has built tradition for being such a longtime in the market. In addition, when the head of marketing for beverages at Nescafe in Australia, Tanya Marled, talks about the instant coffee taking over the green tea market, she says that the brand "has a focus on health and wellness and it is really moving to meet a consumer need. So nowadays, this wellness concept, which is based on a healthy lifestyle, is the main value that bond Nescaf to consumers

Communication
NESCAFE CLASSIC
Channels used: TVC, Print Media Other advertising channels: Product placement in movies, soaps etc. Sampling TVC 1: One of the very first commercials of Nescafe classic in India. The TVC hits on every front very clearly regarding the target statement
Message: Throughout the advertisement it can be seen that the characters in the ad are sipping coffee at the start of a day or work, which caters to the most common usage space of coffee in India ,at the morning. The advertisement starts with a recording studio starting the recording with a sip of coffee, a book store being opened with a coffee, an employee rushing through the traffic, photographer clicking pictures, a painter etc. In the background a tone keeps on playing constantly, "I just need, need to get started and I will be on my way , symbolizing the start of the day. Nescaf has a very peculiar tune Pa PaRaPa Pa Ra Ra, many brands use such strategies to market their brand. For example Kingfishers Oo la la la oo le lo or Britannia. The idea is to make the tones o catchy that people hum it unconsciously, or in the very recent, use it as ringtones, marketing the brand to others without knowing. Also the brand recall becomes high as the person is able to recognize the brand just by the tune used in the ad.
Target Segment: The advertisement clearly features the following characters A composer2. A book store owner3. A corporate rushing for a meeting4. A girl waking up to a coffee5. A photographer6. A Painter Thus it clearly defines its target segment as the urban youth
Positioning: Morning drink for the spirited soul, The ad very clearly depicts the usage and the timeof usage for the product. And very successfully was able to do so. One very noticeable thing about the ad is that most of the jingle in the background is in English, thus ruling out the rural sector consumers totally. Slogan: 100% Pure", an age-old tactic of claiming that their product is pure or safe. This is done normally to remove any shadow of doubt from the minds of the consumer when they go to purchase coffee from a local kirana store.
TVC 2: A slight change in the positioning from the previous advertisement. Nescafe released three slightly different advertisements following the same theme.
Message: After the successful campaign of inculcating the use of Nescafe as a daily schedule. They tried to appeal to a different side of the consumer, rather than more of a rational appeal which was visible in the previous advertisement it was more of an emotional connect. To break free from the clutter of the daily camaraderie and enjoy in the moment. The advertisement shows a couple enjoying the moment in the rain, a group of friends chatting while enjoying coffee. Thus successful in communicating the correct use of the product, To break free. and enjoy the moment, like a person does when he drinks coffee by taking a break during his office hours. Even the background score says, Come alive to great moments", emphasizing our previous viewpoint that this advert was positioned to appeal to the emotional consumer. Target Segment: The target segment remains the same, Urban youth. The characters portrayed in the advertisement. A couple, and a group of friends both of them falling under the youth segment. Positioning: Beverage for any moment", this advertisement can also be seen as persuasion to increase the usage of the product. Since the market usage as a morning beverage might have become stagnant, they tried to position it in the moments of a day. Slogan: Coffee at its best", they do not let go of the 100% pure coffee slogan as the slogan is showing the TVC in the middle of the advertisement.
TVC-3: This advertisement is a continuation of the TVC-2 described in this report, as it follows the same background score throughout. Message: If the market is stagnant there are three ways in which you can increase your sales. Increase usage of the product amongst the current users Convert non users to users Convert the competitors consumers to your own consumer.
Nescafe achieved the first step with TVC -2; the second step was achieved by this advert. Who were the non users? People belonging to lower half of the pyramid who cannot afford a Nescafe pack of 250 gm.2. People who are not willing to purchase a 250 gm bottle to try out Nescafe as a product. This objective of this advertisement was to generate awareness about a 1 rupee sachet of Nescafe being available. Target segment: As mentioned previously, the target segment will be mainly Sec B consumers or thelower half of the pyramid. Also, people who occasionally drink coffee, and are reluctant to purchase the bigger pack. Slogan: Behtereen Coffee, Behtereen Daam, which means excellent coffee at excellent price. Also notice that this slogan is in Hindi compared to the previous adverts, thus again emphasizing on our viewpoints on the target segment for the product. Other information: The sachet also helped Nescafe in sales promotion by distributing samples of the product or by giving it free with other products.
TVC-4: After six advertisements they finally signed a celebrity to endorse their brand. DeepikaPadukone was signed to endorse the brand. The advertisement was released in three parts each stage in continuation to keep up the curiosity quotient of the consumer.
Message: Nescafe started the know your neighbors campaign and signed Deepika Padukone for the advertisement. Unlike other advertisements which use big stars to just recommend the usage of product plainly. This advertisement involved the celebrity very cleverly within the advertisement. The ad was featured as a series of three ads each in continuation with a to be continued displayed at the end of the first two advertisements. This was to generate curiosity amongst the consumers. The message was very plain and simple. The ad shows a young teenager who is pondering over whether to approach a celebrity who has come to live as his next door neighbor. The first ad shows Deepika pondering over the same fact whether she should ask his next door neighbor for a game of badminton or not. The product is shown as being an ice-breaker or a conversation-starter, for the two characters.
The final ad shows the two characters talking when the second celebrity enters, Karan Johar.Initially, the common teenager Purab feels low on confidence as the two celebrities engage in conversation. He feels outcast amongst the two big names. Then enters our product, Nescafe. The character takes a sip while in the background a voice recites the slogan Switch on the best in you. And the character regains his confidence. This advertisement is on a different track in comparison to the previous advertisements. The advertisement has a humorous touch to it. Positioning: The advertisement positioned the product as the drink that gives strength for any challenge. The coffee that instills confidence in you. Slogan: Switch on the best in you", daring one to take on challenges and discover ones new self
Point of purchase
Nescafe products are mainly sold in the following points. Nescafe Classic being the most commonly used Nescafe coffee line extension. Kirana Store : The most common and the most widespread form of sales point in India. Modern Retail: Present mostly in cities are increasingly becoming the most important points of purchase. There are many factors that may influence the consumers decision at the last moment of purchase. Most important of which area. Visibility: Whether the product is at eye-level or not impacts the number of SKUs sold. Accessibility: Where the SKU stack is located in comparison to the entrance of the mall matters as most of the SKUs sold today are impulsive purchases, so if the SKU stack is located near the entrance and is visible, it will impact the sales'. Vending Machines: Nescafe has its own vending machines installed at various locations namely College canteens, Offices, restaurants etc. This is a very efficient form of OOH marketing too. Other forms of Promotion: One very important and usually overlooked form of Nescafe's marketing is that wherever Nescafes vending machines are present they supply coffee in special Nescaf paper cups only. Also Nescafe has special cups
The plan brings together responsible coffee farming, production and consumption practices throughout the value chain
Responsible farming
Our aim is that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We plan to double the amount of NESCAF coffee bought directly from farmers and their associations, purchasing 180,000 tonnes of coffee from around 170,000 famers. With the support of Rainforest Alliance and 4C, all directly purchased green coffee will be compliant with the internationally recognized 4C sustainability standards by 2015. In addition, 90,000 tonnes of NESCAF coffee will be sourced according to Rainforest Alliance (SAN) principles by 2020. We will expand our technical assistance programmes for farmers, providing advice on farming and post-harvest practices to over ten thousand coffee farmers per year. We will also set up new microfinance schemes for coffee farmers and increase the number of community projects focused on education, public health and water supply. We will distribute 220 million high-yielding, disease-resistant coffee plantlets to farmers by 2020, through partnerships with public and private institutions in countries such as Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, where we have already distributed over 16 million coffee plantlets in the past ten years. New propagation centres will open in coffee producing countries, starting with Mexico.
