United Tobacco Company launch WINSTON cigarettes in South Africa
The South African cigarette market
South Africa is the largest market for manufactured cigarettes on the African continent with annual sales in excess of thirty billion cigarettes.
BAT holds a share of over 17% in this market, supplied mainly by local manufacture through United Tobacco Company, and also through imports from the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe. Although BAT's share had been declining over recent years it has generally stabilized in the past two years through progressive brands such as ALBANY and BENSON & HEDGES SPECIAL MILD.
The international blended segment
The international blended segment in South Africa sold an average monthly volume of 278 million cigarettes in 1982, representing 10% of the total market. This segment is growing at the rate of 20% per annum and is more progressive than any other segment. U. T. Co had no suitable locally-manufactured contender in this segment. R. J. Reynolds' WINSTON had been imported and marketed in South Africa through agents for a number of years as a premium priced brand with low volume sales and no advertising or promotional support. Research into a suitable contender for the locally manufactured blended segment now showed WINSTON to be the brand most likely to succeed of all the brands examined. This led to the negotiation of an agreement with Reynolds whereby U. T. Co could manufacture WINSTON under license in South Africa.
Specifications for the brand are 79mm x 24. 75mm with an 18mm acetate tow filter plug. Deliveries are 20mg 'tar' and 1.8mg nicotine. The cigarettes are packed in a 20's hinge lid box and retail at a popular price.
Target consumers are young adult males in the A, B and C income groups and mainly urban.
The launch strategy for WINSTON ensured that the brand was positioned to "offer the full flavored taste of America as a result of its unique American blend and heritage".
Advertising strategy
Creative - the approach majored on "scenarios of typical, contemporary, American life style reflecting the self assuredness, independence, freedom of behavior and lack of formality of American men". These aspects are most effectively conveyed by the jingle and lyrics in the radio and cinema campaign, these being the prime media used. Press ads and outdoor hoardings supported the launch to ensure immediate pack recognition and increase awareness and coverage in the target market. There was also a merchandising program covering in-store display, promotions and consumer-contact work.
The launch
WINSTON was launched nationally in August 1982, and the Sales Force worked hard to fill the pipeline quickly and efficiently. This was particularly important as the main competitor, Rembrandt, launched L&M Filters, in a red and white pack, two days after the WINSTON launch. L&M's campaign also centred on an American theme.
The advertising for WINSTON proved very effective, and created a high level of awareness in a short period of time. This was particularly true of the film which uses various macho, sporting scenes in the U. S. A. and which generated a positive consumer reaction.
Despite the launch of 3 similar brands by competitor companies, WINSTON has progressed well and by January 1983 was holding 1% share of the international blended segment.
