Soy milk meets real men, Vietnam Asia

Healthy soy milk for men, Vietnam Asia. This new performance based proposition soy milk from Vinasoy launched in December 2015 targets men for a category that has traditionally had a strong female association and user franchise.

Soymen clearly seeks to expand the category to men and win share of throat from other heath, nutrition and performance beverages.  The Soymen proposition adds green tea and promotes essential amino acids as a reason to believe muscle build and health.  The carton pack design of the soy milk successfully moves associations of carton packs away from children and females.  Bold colour cues (black and green) with a bevel edged tetra pak denote more masculine grip reinforce masculinity. Advertising visuals use sports and gym environments to add further connotations of masculinit and performancey.  The 250ml pack will again be a deliberate male portion sizing along with a wider retractable straw support the proposition. At a retail price of 8,400d versus Vinasoy’s own Fami soy at 4,500d for a 200ml pack, the price point may prove a barrier at launch.

Mobile app growth SE Asia

Mobile app growth soars in Asia

App Annie has reported mobile app download growth soared by 60% in Vietnam, 50% in India and 40% in Indonesia in 2015.  The challenge is in generating revenue from a mobile app in SE Asia where most e-commerce remains cash on delivery. Consumer use of credit cards in these emerging markets in Asia is low, the banked population being largely limited to salary transaction accounts.

Consumers in these Asian economies may well leapfrog credit cards and move directly to mobile payment services but the regulatory and infrastructure development in nascent today. Mobile apps in these markets have limited opportunities to monetise (for example from yet niche mobile advertising spend). This in turn stifles local development and investment. Consumers are smart phone armed and ready to engage on mobile today.  When the financial infrastructure and consumer willingness to engage in mobile payments will enable this to be profitable, remains to be seen.

​TOP coffee – nostalgia in a coffee cup Indonesia, Asia

TOP Coffee is one of the newest coffee brands in Indonesia. It is a brand from Wings Food, which launched in 2012. It is a mix of Arabica and Robusta coffee.

TOP Coffee marketing focuses on brand ambassador, Iwan Fals. A famous Indonesian singer in late 80s to 90s. His songs are known have strong characteristic about Indonesia and have the one of the biggest fan bases across Indonesia, called OI (‘Orang Indonesia’ or Indonesian). In TOP Coffee’s latest TVC, TOP Coffee Susu Kental Manis or TOP Coffee Sweetened Condensed Milk (SCM), Iwan Fals gathers with young people when one offers him a coffee with SCM. After that, Iwan challenges them, “Can you make a cup of coffee plus SCM as good as in my era?”

In the past, consumers had to mix the coffee and the SCM with the right dose to get the perfect taste we want. TOP Coffee delivers a convenient instant coffee with just the right mix of SCM in a sachet.   A novelty to urban young adults but a blast form the past for older adults.  TOP Coffee is being different in a competitive landscape of instant coffee by bringing back a traditional authentic coffee taste with convenience.  With luck it will remind many consumers of that sense of community and sharing enjoyed over coffee at stalls (warung kopi) in days past.
