Appendix 1 – Scenario
XYZ Pty Ltd trading as ZEEMH was founded by husband and wife John Cluber and Marla Bennet. The
couple decided to start an online business in 2013 to allow more
flexibility in their family life. ZEEMH was an instant success, and it has
grown progressively in its years of operation.

Website: https://projectdipem.wixsite.com/zeemh .

Starting as an online retailer of exclusive coffee brands for home-


consumption, the company changed its business model by launching into
the production of its own brand of coffee and serving a market of both B2B and B2C customers.

ZEEMH (pronounced Zeem –H) is an innovative Australian online retailer for premium coffee. ZEEMH:

 produces creative and high-quality coffee blends, roasting coffee in its own facilities,
 sources coffee beans from around the world, searching for the best quality coffee,
 is an online retailer of its very own coffee brand: 100% Australian owned and operated,
 delivers its products within Australia (nationwide),
 focuses on a niche B2B and B2C target market.

ZEEMH coffee is:

 quality and innovation-driven,


 a champion for sustainability,
 delivered fast,
 Fair Trade approved,
 customisable.

Since 2013, the organisation has grown and expanded, moving from the spared room of a house in
Surrey Hills, Victoria, to a comfortable 2 level office in Port Melbourne, where they also have the

coffee roasting and packaging plant (same building). Warehouse operations are outsourced to MCW
Logistics (MCW looks after the importing operations relate to importing coffee beans in Australia and
the inventory management – for raw and refined products). MCW logistics is located close to the
ZEEMH headquarter.

So, fare their market has only focused on the Australian market.

company is owned by founders John Cluber (40%) and Marla Bennet (40%). Steven Yun, an investor,
owns 20% of the company, and he is also part of the Board of Directors as an executive director.  
They have recruited experienced and highly skilled board members.

Key to Success
ZEEMH has identified four keys that are instrumental to its success:

 develop a niche product that aims to reach a market of boutique coffee lovers,

 deliver exceptional customer service in all aspects of the business cycle,

BSBPMG522 Undertake Project Work V2 2020 Page 29


RTO Provider: 91153 - CRICOS Code: 02672K
greenwichcollege.edu.au
 attract and retain quality staff,

 creativity, innovation and quality are the pillars the company is founded on.

About the Product


Coffee beans are sourced from selected producers around the world, and they must meet the
following characteristics:

 organics and Fair Trade approved,

 be produced on small to medium farms,

 pass the quality control standards of ZEEMH coffee roaster's experts.

The product:

 is roasted daily – an efficient inventory process is key to allow for the product to be shipped
and re-stocked fast,

 has won several quality awards from Australian coffee associations,

 delivered free of charge for orders over $ 80.00,

 is packaged using earthbags products (

gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5K3_zNai3QIViGkqCh2mgQX2EAQYBCABEgIjhvD_BwE ).

Target Market
ZEEMH has identified three distinct customer segments:

 B2B – start-up independent coffee shops that aim to establish themselves as a boutique coffee
shop,

 B2B – established independent coffee shops that aim to differentiate their offering from their
competition,

 B2C – coffee drinkers that enjoy making good quality coffee at home (speciality coffee
drinkers). These buyers buy the beans whole to grind the coffee themselves, for the freshest
cup possible. ZEEMH has made a strategic decision not to sell ground coffee (this would
increase the cost of production).

Objectives
ZEEMH's objectives are:

 to make ZEEMH an icon brand for speciality coffee drinkers,

BSBPMG522 Undertake Project Work V2 2020 Page 30


RTO Provider: 91153 - CRICOS Code: 02672K
greenwichcollege.edu.au
 to develop an effective, well-placed e-commerce site for sales of coffee blends direct to the
public,

 to expand their market (to increase sales) without giving up on the exclusivity of the brand,

 to maintain and improve infrastructure for the fulfilment of Web-based sales.

Vision
ZEEMH's vision is to be the leader in the innovative and creative production and distribution of
superior coffee blends for true coffee lovers.

Mission
ZEEMH's mission is to provide the finest in coffee blends using the Internet to lower the cost to
consumer's.  ZEEMH exists to attract and maintain customers who love quality and boutique coffee. 
ZEEMH's services are designed and delivered to exceed the expectations of its customers.  

Values
ZEEMH:

 strongly values its people,

 promotes quality in every part of the business,

 champions innovation in our approach to business growth,

 supports creativity in our product offering,

 is committed to sustainability in everything we do,

 displays integrity in the way we do business,

 shows care and respect for our customers.

Strategic Direction
ZEEMH's strategy is based on capturing the higher end of the coffee lovers' market.

Also, ZEEMH aims to create a premium brand so that they can eventually capture market share across
broader geographic lines.

ZEEMH's competitive edge is:

 quality coffee,

 easy-to-use website,

 superior customer service,

 coffee blends customisation for clients.

The strategic objectives identified by the board of directors are:

BSBPMG522 Undertake Project Work V2 2020 Page 31


RTO Provider: 91153 - CRICOS Code: 02672K
greenwichcollege.edu.au
 increase brand awareness among B2C and B2B customers,

 increase market share among B2C clients by 20% in the next five years,

 expand to international markets,

 increase market share among B2B clients by 3% in the next three years,

 expand the product line to coffee equipment and Zeemh merchandise,

 identify strategic alliances to expand the company's footprint nationally and internationally,

 consider a HR strategic plan to attract and retain talent in the company,

 improve quality management practices to decrease production and logistic costs and establish
the brand as synonymous of quality first,

 improve customer retention and loyalty.

An integrated digital marketing campaign is recommended by the board. However, the board has
highlighted how a more traditional form of marketing, such as direct marketing, should be integrated
in the overall strategy. ZEEMH's clients like a personal approach to sales and interaction with the
company.

The board has committed to:

 $ 210,000 in marketing expenditure for the next financial year

 $ 450,000 in recruitment and improvement of HR practices (including professional


development for staff)

 $ 190,000 to quality improvement (including improvements to the roasting facilities in Port


Melbourne)
