Company Introduction

Super Crisp comes under the umbrella of Tripple-em private limited, a pioneer company dealing in Snack

foods. The word Tripple-Em denotes the names of its owners Mr. M. Muhammad Aslam and his sons

Mr. M. Muhammad Shahid, Mr. M. Muhammad Rashid.

In 1986, Tripple-em private limited started commercialization of snacks in potato chips range with

“Super Crisp” as a brand in early 90s. After its launch Super Crisp had established an overwhelming

consumer acceptance. Super Crisp was the first premium quality brand for potato chips produced brand

with international quality of crisps being produced in Pakistan. Super crisp was the prime product of the

company as it led to diversification. In 1995 company diversified its products in snacks by extending

their product line into Nimko mix, Peanuts and other corn-potato snacks. Tripple-em is selling 22 brands

of various snacks with 22 varieties.

Super Crisp is a brand of potato chips that are still incredibly popular in Pakistan. They gained instant

popularity, without huge investments on promotion. There objective was to produce competitive, cost

effective quality products, conforming to the customer’s requirements. Super Crisp was considered as

good quality product at reasonable price but the competition now is increasing and their market share is

decreasing as new brands are coming in like Lays and Kolson products.

Background to the Problem

Super Crisps at one point in time was very popular and had a large market share of the packaged chips

market however, with time its market share decreased due to many reasons including fierce

competition from brands like Lays, Kurleez, Kryzo, etc and today it still does not generate sales as it did

many years back.

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this research was to conduct a conclusive research in order to identify the existing

problems with Super Crisp in terms of its market share and marketing mix. I hope that the findings from

this research will help Super Crisp to solve the following problems:

Management Problem: To re-attract old customers, retain existing customers and attract new

customers.

Marketing Research Problem: Why are other packaged chips brands preferred over super crisps?

What are the basic factors that customers consider when choosing packaged chips? How can super crisp

reposition itself based on these findings to regain its lost market share?

Approach to the Problem

quality, price, shape, packaging, brand name, distribution, promotion, etc.

Determine the importance of each of the above listed attributes and rate super crisp on each of

them.

Determine the consumption pattern of chips for example on a daily or weekly basis, etc.

Evaluate the reactions of customers towards the new packaging of super crisp.

Super Crisp was the most preferred choice a few years back, but strong competitors are a threat for

Super Crisp today and thus to solve the major problem stated initially recommend the following steps to

be taken on the basis of this analysis:

Super Crisp has scored the lowest on its flavors, packaging, advertisement and shape.

Super Crisp first of all should improve its distribution so that it is available in most of the areas of the

country.

Many customers also feel that the quality of Super Crisp was much better than what it is now. They

are soggier now and less in quantity in the packet which Super Crisp should try and improve.

Super Crisp should try to come up with original and innovative packaging and should not copy what

its competitors are doing.

Super Crisp should also come up with new flavors specially barbecue as this is the most preferred

choice of the customers.

Brand promotion is very important to create awareness about your current and new offerings and

thus, Super Crisp should allot a specific amount towards advertisements. It’s not just about the

quantity of ads that matter but also the quality.

Today, Pakistan has the highest percentage of youth who are the target customers of Super Crisp giving

it a great opportunity to capitalize on and increase its market share.
