KEY WORDS

Marketing, strategy, coffee, sales, customer.

Indonesia is one of the largest coffee producing countries in the world, after Brazil and Columbia. Most of the coffee production goes into export trade whose export destinations include the United States, Germany, Japan and Singapore. Indonesian coffee plantation in 2016 was 1,233,294 ha and Indonesian coffee production was 667,655 tons. Most of the production is robusta coffee. Robusta coffee production reached 492,333 tons (87.1%) of total Indonesian coffee production (Director General of Plantation, 2016).

Coffee is a refreshing drink consumed by some people while relaxing or during breaks at seminars and meetings (as a coffee break). Most people who consume coffee aim to extend the waking time by stimulating the central nervous system. In addition, consuming coffee can increase the power of thought and memory, increase alertness, increase the rate of reading, make the body not easily tired or sleepy and make the body become more passionate. This effect is produced by caffeine compounds in the coffee, (Van Dam and Hu, 2005). In the world of medicine, caffeine is used as a mixture of drugs including the medicine of cold, headache, fever, and stimulant.

In the early stages of starting the business world, prospective entrepreneurs should understand well about the ins and outs of marketing in a comprehensive and systematic way. The company will continue to grow, excel and become larger by taking strategic steps, including put the customer as the key of the company's success in improving extension and competitive advantage so that the product will be accepted and marketable (Barney, 2014). Presenting the quality of service and continuous achievement must be performed to be useful, superior to the customers and can compete with other competitors.

Moreover, the business environment conditions are constantly changing due to the interest rate and the level of competition with other companies in grabbing a tight and highly competitive market share (hypercompetition) (D'aveni, 2010). Efforts in creating demand and marketing the product is one of the key successes of an organization in business matters. Marketing activities can be a source of company failure or it could be a waste if it is not properly planned. Many middle-scale entrepreneurs often have difficulty in formulating a formal marketing program, so that the resulting product is not able to match the expected target market, (Oh and Jeong, 1996).

From the above brief description, it can be concluded that the importance of marketing plans and strategies are mature, detailed and measurable. A good marketing plan and strategy will achieve the marketing objectives so that there is a balance between the product and the target market. Products, to be sold to the market, show an increase in sales volume, provide customer satisfaction, and achieve optimal profitability based on the expectations of the company.

As a manufacturing company of effervescent tablet coffee Kopita, it requires the right marketing strategy to get into the target market. To ensure the proper implementation of marketing strategies in marketing products owned by PT. Four Jafe Indonesia, marketing framework or the process of preparing marketing plan and strategy must first be made. The process of developing such marketing plans and strategies relates to the analysis of the business environment. The implementation process of marketing strategy of PT.

Figure 2 - Market Research inside and outside the Company

Before the company penetrates and implements marketing strategy, the company initially analyzes the market situation by mapping the market area, market potential and market picture. Then, the company analyzes the market attractiveness and ultimately conducts a competitive analysis to find out the market share and competitor's strength. PT Four Jaffe Indonesia must know and understand the marketing environment of the products offered by ensuring that the products are acceptable to the market (customers). The marketing environment consists of two factors of force: the internal force factor of the company (the instant coffee business) and the external force factor of the company (powers outside marketing) that affect the marketing management's ability to develop and sustain successful transactions on its target customers.

The most important thing in determining the right and strategic marketing strategy for PT Four Jaffe Indonesia is an analysis of market attractiveness and analysis of competitive advantage. This strategic marketing strategy will be the main thing before the company chooses the right marketing activity. Therefore, it can be more focused and targeted in maximizing marketing activities to the customers.

There are three dimensions that affect the attractiveness of the market forces, competitive intensity, and market access (Best, 2005). Analysis of market attractiveness is useful to see how attractive the market that will be targeted by PT Four Jaffe Indonesia. The

following is the analysis of the three dimensions that affect the market attractiveness of manufacturing industry effervescent coffee Kopita.

To help the organization of PT Four Jaffe Indonesia (PT.FJI) to study the key stakeholders and the market domains, the authors add an analysis of 6 market models (Six Market Domain Analysis) taken from the literature (Lindgreen, 2004). It mentions that if an organization wants to grow and survive, it must maintain its relationship with the internal and external environment. Through analysis of all 6 markets, the managers may prefer critical markets and opportunities in every market. To visualize and understand the interests of each market, Payne and Holt (2001) provide 6 market models: Customer Markets, Influence Markets, Referral Markets, Supplier Markets, Recruitment Markets, and internal Markets.

Figure 4 - The Six Market Domains (Source: Payne and Holt, 2001)

Marketing Strategy. In order to optimize the sales of effervescent coffee Kopita, to grow and meet the company's target, PT Four Jaffe Indonesia must implement an appropriate and good marketing strategy in the expectation of optimizing its marketing resources in order to achieve sales according to the established growth and target and to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

Figure 6 - Stages of Marketing Strategy

For the next step, the marketing strategy is segmentation, targeting, and positioning the product in the position based on the company's preference (positioning). Product positioning step is very important as the act of designing the offer and the image of the company in order to reach a special and unique place in the mind of the target market. Thus, it is expected to be a sustainable competitive advantage over competitors who eventually became market leader of instant coffee. After that, it performes a marketing tactic based on Marketing Mix (Marketing Mix) which is applied with Networking, Interaction, Common Interest, Experience (NICE Marketing). PT Four Jaffe implements 30% of Business to Business (B2B) market

share and 70% on Business to Customer (B2C) market share. So, the application of marketing mix will be applied with NICE marketing tactics (Networking, Interaction, Common, Interest, Experience). The next marketing strategy is building marketing relationship that focuses on customer relations management (CRM) as a way of customer marketing that enhances the company's long-term growth and is an approach that emphasizes the effort of attracting and retaining customers through enhanced company relationships with its customers.

Figure 7: Marketing Strategy of PT FJI

Market segmentation is an attempt to segregate markets in heterogeneous purchasing groups in terms of interests, purchasing power, geography, buying behavior and lifestyles (Kotler, 2007). In addition, market segmentation, according to Kotler, Bowen & Makens (1999) should meet criteria that can be measurable, accessible, large enough (substantial), differentiable and actionable. Market segmentation can be intended as a heterogeneous market division into homogeneous market groups, where each group can be targeted to market a product according to the needs, desires, or characteristics of consumers in the market. The target market is the business market so that segmentation is done using the criteria of business market segmentation. Business market segmentation is divided into five variables: demographic variables, operating variables, purchasing approaches, situational factors and personal characteristics (Kotler & Keller, 2003). Business market segmentation criteria which are selected by PT Four Jaffe Indonesia use demographic variables, operating variables, purchasing approaches, situational factors and personal characteristics.

Targeting is the process of evaluating and selecting one or more of the most appealing market segments to be served with a company-specific marketing program. According to Kotler & Armstrong (1997), targeting is a group of buyers who have the same needs or characteristics of the sales objectives. Targeting is a very important process because it will determine who will buy the product from the company. Targeting is to target the selected market in market segmentation analysis. PT FJI plans short-term sales targets (1st year to 3rd year) by estimating sales according to the initial forecast of 188,400 bottles per month or IDR 3,768,000 000 in rupiah and will be increased according to the expected growth (Table of Sales Plan of Tablet Coffee Kopita).

Therefore, effervescent tablet coffee Kopita products can compete and be accepted by the market by the determination of segmentation, target, and measurable and achievable product position, and certainly profitable for the company (Profit Oriented) according to the mission and vision of the Company.

Marketing tactics based on the marketing mix will be implemented with Networking, Interaction, Common Interest, Experience (NICE Marketing) stages. PT Four Jaffe implements 30% of Business to Business (B2B) market share and 70% on Business to Customer (B2C) market share. Thus, the application of marketing mix will be applied with NICE marketing tactics (Networking, Interaction, Common, Interest, Experience). The next marketing strategy will build marketing relationship that focuses on customer relations management (CRM) as a customer marketing effort which will enhance the company's long-term growth and is an approach that emphasizes the effort to attract and retain customers through enhanced company relationships with its customers.

After implementing the marketing strategy through Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning stages, the next step is to perform a more specific step; marketing mx. Marketing mix is a set of operational decisions regarding product decisions, price decisions, promotional decisions, and place decisions. According to Philip Kotler, marketing mix is a marketing tip that companies use to achieve marketing goals in the target market. PT Four Jaffe Indonesia, which has the largest market share in B2B, marketing tactics of 4P will be synergized with NICE marketing tactics: Networking (Place), Interaction (Promotion), Common Interest (Price), and Experience (Product). PT Four Jaffe Indonesia emphasizes the gradual growth achievement in line with the increasing demand of each marketing area of 3rd year sales by 15%, 4th year sales by 20% and 5th year by 25%. With average growth, it is expected to achieve a minimum value of 20% each year which requires effective and appropriate marketing tactics for marketing management.

The application of NICE's marketing tactics focuses on building good relationships with customers based on networking (place) strategy in which marketing strategy builds marketing network with customers, for example creating customer data base to facilitate companies in the distribution of Kopita.

Interaction strategy (promotion) is to conduct product promotion activities to customers by using promotion tools that are able to influence customer loyalty and also promote product brand so that the end users will be curious to find the sales place of Kopita effervescent product. The common interest (price) strategy is having competition and cheaper pricing than other competitors so that there is mutual benefits between suppliers and customers. In addition, experience strategy (product) is to offer effervescent coffee products practically in the serving, the sensation of good taste due to the influence of acid base from the effervescent so that customer loyalty is maintained and customer satisfaction is created. PT Four Jaffe Indonesia Marketing Mix strategy is needed in maintaining cooperation with stakeholders that support the sales and is in accordance with the target company that is determined the achievement of product targets (determination of the right product), price (product pricing), promotion (promoting activity to the right market target) and place (distribution system that supports market segmentation). Penetration market of PT Four Jaffe Indonesia was conducted in 2 segments; that is market penetration for direct sales to outlets (modern market store, Alfamart, Infomart) called Business to Customer (B2C) and market penetration by establishing partnership for product distribution and wholesalers who have

their own sales force called Business to Business (B2B). The components of marketing mix strategy for business to customer are 4P (product, price, place, promotion). PT Four Jaffe Indonesia with the largest B2B market share, its 4P marketing tactics will be combined with NICE's marketing tactics of Networking (Place), Interaction (Promotion), Common Interest (Price), and Experience (product).

CRM is a process of acquiring, maintaining and improving profitable customers. The marketing approach, by building relationships with customers, has the potential to affect the customer's feelings toward the company's products and also in doing business with the company. In managing true customer relationships, PT FJI requires long-term strategies and processes that create long-lasting customer satisfaction, not solely because of low cost and low price, but because customers feel more comfortable in doing business with the company and also feel comfortable about the product the company. CRM aims to create customer value so that customers feel satisfied and can maximize profits for the company.

The implementation of CRM that is made by marketing management to business market customers through continuity marketing, one to one marketing and partnering (co-marketing) can be seen in building a solid long-term relationship with customers which requires a concentrated effort from all employees and management to find out what satisfies customers and customers value.

Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM) performed by PT FJI focuses on customer relations, product orientation, high emphasis on service, high commitment from customers to the products offered by the company, and the attention of management and all employees on the quality of instant coffee products in satisfying the desires of the customers. Transaction relationships between wholesalers, sub-distributors, distributors and customers are sustainable and do not end once the sale is completed. In other words, it is a long-term partnership with customers and on an ongoing basis so it is expected to make a repeat business.

With a hyper competition and ever-changing business competition and an ever-expanding marketing strategy, PT FJI requires determining the right marketing strategies in the face of rapidly changing business competition.

The key to success in placing products in target markets is the ability to maintain quality and product leadership in accordance with customer expectations.

Important points that need to be owned by sales people in sales activity of effervescent tablet coffee Kopita is first the assertiveness; the characteristic that enables sales people to move the

sales situation forward without offending or frustrating the customer. This position of assertiveness can be passive in terms of patient service and aggressive in terms of encouraging customers to have an interest in being a loyal customer.

To achieve the sales target, marketing management seeks 5% market share in the first year (Y0) and seeks to increase market share every year. It is to support the company's sales growth. Sales targets created by the company will generate a margin of revenue (profitability) of 25% of total net sales. In achieving company results at PT FJI, the company's management will build a firm and strong sales team so that they are able to compete with competitors.
