Market Analysis
Among the customers who use clarifiers, approx. 50% maintained
their own pools, Rest of them were taking services of pool
contractors. No. of pool contractors = 40,000 to 50,000
Most of the players are selling through wholesalers and retailers;
some of them also bypassed these channels and sold through WalMart or DIY retailers directly
Concerns of the residential pool owners
Aesthetics and Perceived cleanliness as opposed to commercial market who
were more concerned about waterborne diseases and swimmers safety
Price analysis
As per table 1, Annual cost of Coracle is $39.06 which is less than
competitors providing clarifier in liquid form.
Per Gallon price of Coracle ($50) is lower than Purity ($60) and much
higher than ClearBlu ($15)
Yearly savings of customers will be $13.42 reducing effective annual
cost to 39.06 13.42 = $ 25.64.
If target marketing and promotional campaigns are done, Consumers
can perceive the additional value realized by Coracle; So pricing of
$25 is correct.
Recommendations
Distribution
Increase distributor margin to 35% but keep final price of $25 same.
As 50% of the market is served by Pool contractors, Identify pool contractors with large customer
base and supply them directly at lesser prices. Supply cost will increase but margin sharing with
distributors and retailers will get eliminated.
Packaging
Purity is available in .25 gallon container whereas Coracle is available in 0.5 gallon container.
Provide minimum size container of .25 gallon as well at $12.5.
Positioning/Promotion
Increase marketing and promotional effort as Market size for residential pool clarifiers is more
than double of commercial pool clarifiers.
Positioning should be focused on aesthetics and cleanliness as residential pool users are more
concerned about these aspects.
