Market Analysis Summary It’s been a turbulent few year for the Kibabii meat industry, especially beef and pork. Droughts and harsh winter temperatures have sent prices for beef cattle soaring. Meanwhile, the pork sector has been pummeled by higher feed costs, and a resulting jump in the price of live pigs. These events in turn put serious pressure on beef and pork processors. In fact, when Kibabii’s last remaining butchery went bankrupt, it said it could no longer pay its bills due to the climbing cost of live animals. It’s no surprise either that the price increases have made themselves felt at the grocery checkout. According to the 2019 University of Nairobi Food Price Report, meat accounted for the biggest food price rise in Kenya last year – up 12.4 per cent compared with 2.8 per cent for food overall. Demand for alternative sources of protein is being driven by Kenya’s changing immigration patterns, and by restaurant chefs on the lookout for different tastes and textures that meats such as bison, rabbit and goat can provide. Large and small processors and retail chains are also making the most of rising consumer interest in how their food is produced to create a variety of “free-from” lines. Kenya Meat Commission, for example, specializes in packaged meats and snacks it positions as “clean and lean” (produced without preservatives, nitrites or GMOs) and sourced primarily from Kenyan animals that have been raised naturally and humanely. “Many of our customers have food allergies, food sensitivities or dietary restrictions,” explains Neilson. “But another segment is looking at where and how the animals were raised. For these customers, it’s important to know that the animals have not been confined in cages or gestation crates and that they’ve been raised without antibiotics.” Market Segmentation Bett’s butchery potential customers are all the Kibabii University students, Restaurants and hotels around Kibabii and families around Kibabii.
Business customers and retail customers will be grown as separate revenue streams, but will reinforce each other. Marketing Strategy The marketing strategy of Bett’s butchery is to establish anticipation of the store's opening in Kibabii so that it can hit the ground running with retail sales immediately upon launch. To that end, the following tactics will be used: a. Direct mail of flyers to a select list of 500 Students. b. Launch of the website in anticipation of opening. After opening, the following tactics will be used going forward: a. Direct mail to additional students and households with higher incomes. b. Search engine marketing via local Google ads. c. Email newsletter describing developments in meat offerings to business customers and certain households. Sales Strategy The sales strategy for the business includes both retail sales and business sales strategies. Customers will be greeted with a standard greeting and served to meet their satisfaction with the greatest care taken to provide quick service to walk-in customers. Retail sales will be based on the marketing of the store and its location, explained in the marketing plan section. At an operational level, orders will be taken in person by clerks working the floor of the store (two on duty at any given time), or by the office clerk over the phone or Internet. Orders for specific cuts will be transmitted from these clerks to the butchers on duty who will prepare the cuts. They will be packaged, priced, and prepared for sale by the floor clerks. The business sales strategy relies on prospecting by Emmanuel Bett and Dalton Langat to establish sales to restaurants. They will research, contact, and present to these businesses, drawing on their past sales experience. As owner of the business, they will work to maximize this revenue stream to increase profits. Sales Forecast Retail sales will be the greatest driver of sales growth and represents the best margins for the business, with a 100% markup over cost. Special orders are more expensive to provide, but will provide a vital line of business that will encourage high-income customers to use the store.
Products sold to businesses will be sold at lower rates, but costs will also be reduced through bulk ordering and the ease of working with businesses in an ongoing way. The cost of sales to businesses will be 65% as well. This category, including restaurant and hotel sales, will also represent a large portion of sales. The presence of the store and the brand name it establishes will allow restaurants and hotels to advertise the fact that they purchase their meats from Bett’s butchery without any fear, as customers will see it as a mark of quality.

Important Assumptions Interest rates and the tax rate reflect the current economic environment that Bett’s butchery will operate within. Projected Profit and Loss Additional direct cost of sales reflects the costs of packaging, M-pesa transaction fees, and other direct costs of the meat preparation and order fulfillment processes. Gross margins are based on the industry markup for butchered meats. Marketing expenses will be higher in the first year to announce the opening of the firm and will drop after that. Most expenses will show small increases each year as the business will remain in the same location over the first three years. Profit will rise sharply over the first three years as sales are spread over these relatively stable expenses and more customer source.
