Case Study

Cold Stone Creamery is a relatively new ice cream company that faces stiff competition in the marketplace from such established brands as Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen-Dazs. The first store was established in Saffron Walden, Essex in 2001. Since then the company has expanded to more than 20 stores (franchises) nationwide. Its market niche is that customers can personalise their serving by choosing a base flavour and then mixing it with a number of toppings. Employees do the mixing by hand on a frozen granite stone (hence the company name).

The challenge of course is to generate more store revenue and to increase market share. Research shows that the typical Cold Stone Creamery customer is a woman between the ages of 25 and 35, but that she also brings her friends and other family members with her.

The company has decided to do an integrated communications programme for the next year that would involve Public Relations, advertising and in-store marketing promotions for new products.
