Armed with segmentation percentage of sales, we next assess the levels of growth of the different segments after initiating the new and revamped branding and marketing campaign.
Youth & Working Adults segments expected to lead growth
The segments expected to grow the most over the next five years are the youth and working adults segments at 10% and 6% respectively. This is mainly due to the targeted marketing campaign that will change perceptions of Hang Ten as a young, trendy and casual brand for them. The integrated marketing communications will seek to appeal to these segments and thus, improve growth.
Price-conscious & Events-specific segments forecast to grow marginally
On the other hand, the segments expected to grow the least are the price-conscious and events-specific segments at 4% and 2% respectively. As there will be less aggressive marketing pull for the price-conscious individual, we expect growth to slow. We also factor in the possibility of Hang Ten losing some of the segment due to a misalignment between price-conscious expectations and Hang Ten's new image. However, we must also consider the projected organic growth with Singapore's aging population and influx of foreign workers that will still push the segment to experience marginal increase. Event-specific segment is also projected to grow marginally as a result of organic growth in Singapore's population over the next five years.
Hence, using % of sales per segment and respective growth rates, projected sales at the end of the 5th year are estimated at $1.4 million for price-conscious, $800,000 for working adults, $550,000 for youth and $250,000 for events-specific segment.
