They have this strategy that in order to maintain quality, they are not mass producing their ice cream. They just produce ice cream when it is ordered by their distributors. And maybe, the disadvantage is that their distribution system is limited because they are not up to quantity. Yes, maintaining the quality is really the best way to compete, but quality and quantity should be equally valued. More produced ice creams made with quality could possibly bring more customers. They should also expand the range of their distributions to be more competitive among other ice cream companies. 4.
Promotions They promote their product by giving away some G’s (gift certificates), freebies and rooms so customers can avail different ice cream flavors. They also have their own TV advertisement but not viewed nationwide. Maybe, their promotions effort is good but not enough. They still not have sufficient promotions or advertisements to make their product more competitive among other ice cream companies. They should invest in increasing their promotion efforts in television and other advertisements. They should target more customers and expand the range of their distributions, local and in abroad to increased their market potential.
