5. Description of LSM Groups
WHAT ARE LSM’s AND HOW ARE THEY PUT TOGETHER?
•A LSM (Living Standard Measure) was developed by SAARF in 1988/89 in order to assist users in
identifying target markets, which was better able to distinguish living standards than any single
demographic variable.
•
•In 2001 SAARF decided to introduce a new SAARF Universal LSM to make the LSM’s more useful.
These new Universal LSM’s are based entirely on household variables, which have been expanded to
29 variables.
• In addition to the new 29 variables it was agreed to extend the SAARF LSM groups from 8 to 10
groups.
• Data from 2002 forward is therefore not comparable with previous years.
•Home panel data is analysed by LSM group. Detailed below is a description of the key
characteristics of each LSM group.

MARKETING BRIEF TO PRODUCTION
DATE: 15 JUNE 2008
CATEGORY: PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT LEADER: TERENCE KLEYNHANS
BACKGROUND
The following is a Marketing product supply brief relating to possible products improvement on all
GLAD Refuse products as discussed at the Packaging Overview meeting
Market Conditions [Competitor activity and Clorox opportunity]
One of the fastest growing segments of the market is Food bags as well as refuse bags. Currently
the GLAD offer is being replicated by Private Label competitors as well as opposition brands
launching new products that has a better “cosmetic” appearance and is better identified than the
market leader; GLAD.
The need and opportunity is to not differentiate the GLAD offer any longer but to offer the equivalent
to what is currently in the market.
Due to GLAD refuse bags being “hung on hooks” apposed to the other products in the category all
being bags on a roll merchandised on shelf, all together as a category, we loose “attention” from the
consumer – as she over looks GLAD once she had made her refuse bag decision and the GLAD
product is not merchandised with the rest of the range in the category.
The way forward is to investigate extruding a clear, tight fitting, bottom / top sealed bag with an 8
colour print with out holes to hang.
8. 3D Marketing Brand Plan
BRAND - GLAD
Goal: - To increase our market share for the whole category from 37.7% to 40% by FY’09.
- Total Wraps and bags are growing in volume and value.
- GLAD is seeing growth across Sandwich, Freezer, refuse and multipurpose with a decline in wraps.
- Private Labels are still dominating the Wraps and Bags category.
- Sandwich bag sector is a declining category by 10% we want to increase our share from 36.3% to 41% by FY’09
- Freezer bags sector is a declining category but GLAD is showing growth in the category and ahead of Own Brands we want to
continue our growth from 38.9% to 40% by FY’09
- Cooking bags sector from 32% to 35% by FY ‘09
- Multi purpose bags sector is in a growth cycle and we want to grow from 31.3% to 36% by FY’09
- Disposable Bags sector has the healthiest growth of all sectors and we want to grow from 16.7% to 20% by FY’09
- Wrap is declining ahead of the category we need to grow from 41.7% to 43% by FY’09
- To launch new products as per the Brand plan with follow through in all departments.
- To make al departments e.g. Sales and production aware of the fact that Marketing is the Brand custodian and therefore need to work
together on all aspects of the brand – Forecast, pricing, listings and opportunities.
Consumer Target Who is your target, why is this an opportunity
LSM group 6 to 10, females between the ages of 16 and 70 ( due to the fact that woman stay

22. Dear Promoter
Enclosed a sample of the oppositions freezer bag marked “FREEZER SAMPLE BAG “A” as well as a
sample of a “GLAD FREEZER BAG”, it is also marked.
Merchandise the 2 bags next to one another on the promoters table to show the customer the
difference in quality between the 2 products.
The GLAD Freezer bag is much thicker and will therefore not cause frost bite in the deep freeze and it
will not tear when you put it into the deep freeze and cause all your food to mess all over your deep
freeze.
There are also 2 samples of sandwich bags; the opposition product is marked “SANDWICH BAG
SAMPLE “A” and the “GLAD SAMPLE BAG” is marked accordingly.
Once again, our bag is thicker and made of a better quality plastic – you must stress that to the
customer.
I have also given you a sample of our new GLAD Coloured swing / pedal bin bag.
The swing bin bag is called “Kitchen Tidy” and is a bigger bag than Pedal bin bags.
Pedal bin bags are called “Bedroom / Bathroom Tidy” Pedal bin bags and are smaller than swing bin
bags.

27. PRESS RELEASE VARIETY FREEZING BAGS
Colour code your deep freezer and solve the mystery of Pandora’s Box.
Have you ever opened your deep freezer in anticipation but also in fear of what you might find
hidden in the little cold bags?
Every little frozen ball has a different secret; is it a piece of fish or chicken or maybe with a little luck
a long forgotten lag of lamb.
And as every mysterious frozen ball gets inspected our anxiety grows and feverish we comb
through every bag… in search of, we don’t know what – we are not quiet sure.
O, the confusion, by this time your fingers are as frozen as the little balls and you are still not the
wiser as every bag looks the same and with every bag you touch and move around you find pieces
of frozen peas, beans and carrots, falling between the ice cold unidentified balls, and you think to
yourself that soon you will have to make the time to re-pack the deep freezer but just not today.
The Pandora’s Box all of a sudden becomes a “box of horror” – Sure you know the feeling.
HELP IS AT HAND, DON”T GET MAD, GET GLAD!
GLAD is the undisputed market leader in wraps and bags and they know what is needed to make
your life easier.
Now with GLAD VARIETY FREEZING BAGS you can colour code your deep freeze and turn your
anxiety into pure relief.
This is how easy it is:
3 Different uses
3 Different sizes
3 Different colours with convenient Zip Seals to make the task of opening and closing of bags
easier, reduce odour transfer, prevent contamination and keep food fresh.

28. Media Advisory
Facts about Glad Plastic Wraps and Container
- Countering Confusion –
There have been many misleading “chain” e-mails or articles that incorrectly suggest all plastic
wraps and containers are unsafe for heating foods in the microwave. The articles raise concerns
about the presence of certain chemicals, Di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA), phthalates, dioxins and
Bisphenol A, supposedly found in all wraps and containers. The truth is, GLAD® products do not
contain any of these chemicals or produce them when used to microwave food.
DEHA (Di-(2-ethylhexyl adipate) is a “plasticizer” commonly added to rigid plastic, like poly-vinyl
chloride (PVC), to enhance flexibility. GLAD® Cling Wrap, GLAD® Snap Lock, GLAD® Sandwich
Bags, GLAD® Handi-Covers and GLAD® Zip Slide are made from polyethylene, a more flexible
plastic film, that doesn’t require the use of a plasticizer. GLAD® Steam Lock and GLADWare®
containers also are free of plasticizers, since they are made from polypropylene, not PVC.
It is important to note that GLAD® products do not contain any phthalate plasticizer and are dioxin
free. Dioxins can be formed only when materials containing chlorine are heated to an extremely
high temperature in the presence of organic materials. These high temperatures cannot be
reached using even the most powerful microwave ovens. Furthermore, the plastic used in the
formulation of GLAD® products do not contain chlorine or any chlorine containing substances such
as PVC. Therefore, it would be impossible for dioxins to form when microwaving food using
GLAD® products………………

• We visited some Pick & Pay stores with Prime Media to evaluate our new “Easy
Healthy Easter Cooking” Banner campaign.
•The banner ads were up and is looking very good. ( see photos)
•The Banners are facing the product correctly as per the brief.( see photos). STYLE
Wrap image facing wrap and cooking bags facing the bags section.
•Jiffy definitely has more listings than previously with “better” facings than
previously. ( see photos) in some cases 2 full shelves.
•Interesting too see Jiffy Colour-coded Freezing bags. Selling at R19.79 for 15 bags.
They have red, yellow and blue bags.
•We spoke to consumers and they mentioned too us that they find the new “No
Name” packaging confusing. They feel that they have to pick the product up too read
the description as there is nothing too guide them as too what the products are.
•We even had a guy picking up No Name foil thinking that it was wrap.
•The printing of No Name in-door refuse is VERY BAD as it is rubbing off. (see
photos).

Dear Mrs. Rolleya
RE: WIDTH OF GLAD Wrap
Thank you for being a loyal consumer and for taking the time to inform us about your frustration with GLAD Wrap. GLAD is a superior product as
well as the market leader and it is for this reason that we deemed it necessary to make some changes to our Wrap products.
I am happy to inform you that after intense research we made changes to the width of ALL GLAD Wrap products (including the Refill)
A normal plate is 270mm and consumers complained that they could not cover a plate with one sheet of paper and it is for this reason we made it
30mm wider.
The old GLAD Wrap use to be 300mm ( hence your cutter being able to fit the wrap) and the NEW GLAD Wrap is now 330mm, ( the cutter will not
work as it is made for the 300mm), however the wider length is indeed “making life a little easier” for all our consumers. We unfortunately do not
make the cutter it is done by somebody that is not involved with GLAD, but I belief he will be making the cutters bigger as all other wrap suppliers
are also moving away from 300mm wide wraps.
Consumer satisfaction is most important to us, and we sincerely regret your experience with our product, but I hope that you can now understand
that it was in the interest of the consumer that we had to make this bold change, even though the extra width is only as long as your little toe, it still
makes a big difference when covering a plate.
Yours faithfully

1 Obtain a sample of the GE/Clorox Polyester material on an urgent basis.
Be aware that Nylon on one size is running out and we need to be in a
position to switch one product to Polyester . Samples of the Flexitrade
material is here – has this been run in production to establish if the
switch can be made easily?
Inventory on 250mm is 13286 kgs and on 450mm is 1443 kgs so the
450mm size will convert to Polyester sooner – but will this cause a
production problem insofar as one will be polyester and one nylon?
Got quotes for production from Polypak, Platex and Noel.
Terence to please let me know what he has decided as they keep on
asking me and I don’t have an answer.

Remember to include in the reference guide the Proficient Packaging
batch codes on Nappy and Variety.

3 Planograms – PnP Corporate has requested that Kensington store be
relayed and based on this PnP will agree or ask for changes. There
appears to be a concerted effort in PnP to resolve planograms as we
constantly get requests for our input. Also, discuss with SPAR that we
want to cancel the 1% contribution to Catman as we derive no benefit.
At this stage we will do no further work on Makro
Cluster A has not been signed off. Dwight is seeing Natasha on Thursday

I’m going to update you on our corporate strategy, which is shown on this slide. This is a simplified view of our 2008 strategy for Creating the Right to Win, which you may have seen previously as the strategy “house,” with our strategy choices—the 3Cs and 3Ps—forming the pillars.
While we spend the most time talking about the 3Cs and 3Ps, it’s important to remember that our corporate strategy also includes all of these elements:
Our purpose and mission, which provide the context for all of our strategic decisions.
Our portfolio of leadership brands, which we manage for growth and profit.
Our financial goals, which keep us on track for rewarding our shareholders.
