Subject: Product launch
Mr Bonnefoy,
Following our previous phone discussion I am writing to you to have written confirmation the date for launching “MagicMint” in the starting thirty sales points we previously decided is March 10, 20XX
Given the tight schedule, I am asking you to answer in a timely fashion, better if by the end of the day. As it has been all already set it should not be a hard task.
Best regards,
A. Kirkland

Subject. Re: Product launch
Mr Kirkland,
As I believe to have already told you in our last phone call, to have MagicMint in all the thirty sales points on March 10 is going to be highly unlikely. The transport company serving us is currently experiencing a quite unexpected increase of cargo for a sudden and unforeseen increase in demands in our chocolate muffins, Rainbow Unicorn.
Therefore, we will likely not be able to distribute MagicMint for another week.
Best regards

Subject: Re: Re: Product launch
With all due respect, delaying the launch of a week would surely damage the sales and overall the company results. I remind you the date had been decided together in our last joined meeting after an attentive discussion and research, during which all the presents were in agreement.
Consequently, you are required to respect our previous plans.
Kind regards,

Subject: Re: Re: Re: Product launch
Mr Kirkland,
I too remember our last meeting - though I recall there had actually been some doubts on behalf of our sales department - the new popularity of Rainbow Unicorn was absolutely unexpected. Not something we could have previewed two months ago.
Furthermore, I should not be the one to remind you how Rainbow Unicorn has been a hard-core favourite in Wish Delights production since its launch and how not exploiting the increase in interest would be a loss opportunity for our company.
Still, I will talk with logistics to see what I can arrange. I will be back to you by this evening.

Mr Kirkland
I came back to you after having discussed the logistics. They said for them it makes no difference which product transport.
Yet, I once again have to remind you what poor decision this would be for the whole company. If your concern is the possible loss because of the delayed launch of MintMagic I am confident the new boost of sales of Rainbow Unicorn will cover it.

Subject: Re: Update product launch
Mr Bonnefoy,
Aside from the fact that the profit increases from the sales boost you mentioned is only supposed, a friendly reminder that we decided to launch MagicMint to tap into a new market niche. This niche is less likely to remain untapped each passing days. Delaying the launch will highly expose us to our competitors, as we know are already working on a similar product.
After a brief discussion here, we decided to reduce the sales point from the 30 aforementioned to the 15 in the attached list. I am asking you to check the logistic and refer back to me if you believe other sales points would be better.

I read the list and added some suggestions I believe would benefit the sales. You find them all in the attached documents.
Moreover, it may be interesting and helpful to link the sales of MagicMint to Rainbow Unicorn with a promotion.
I happen to already have a couple ideas, which I took the liberty to attach.

Subject: Sales performance
Mr Bonnefoy,
After an attentive reading of the sales report concerning the last trimester, I must inform you we are deeply displeased and concerned with the result. While we accounted for a possible performance below our foreseen model, this is worse than previewed and given our previsions it seems unlikely to improve in the next trimester
In addition, we are concerned for the lateness with which this piece of information has been provided. It has always been part of the company culture to act swiftly and promptly.
In order to limit the loss and the damage that would hit the company a new marketing survey is needed the sooner possible. Certainly, before the end of the next trimester.
Bests.

Subject: Re: Sales performance
Mr Kirkland,
If I am not mistaken we actually attempted to warn you on how MagicMint did not seem to be as popular as expected with the customers. To which, correct me if I am wrong, you answered it was normal for a new product to experience an initial flexion, to wait and I quote “to not fret over it”.

Subject: Re: Re: Sales performance
Your warning was merely a personal opinion that was not sustained by enough physical evidence to sustain a change in production during the first month since the launch already.
Plus, our target seemed to appreciate MagicMint when we did the testing.
Unless the research you did was not actually a representation of the current market situation.

Subject: Re: Re: Re: Sales performance
The pre-launch survey, in case you happen to have forgotten, showed already that our target would be only slightly likely inclined to buy the new product and you decided to act nonetheless, since you believed in the product.
In any case, even without carrying out a new survey, I can already say the sales would greatly benefits if MagicMint had a bit more sugar in its mixture. As they are now, these biscuits can barely be defined as such. They are also excessively dry to be palatable.

To add more sugar would defy the purpose of a dietary biscuit,
For the dryness, as I have said plenty of times already, it is a product meant to be eaten with a hot beverage at breakfast. Tea would be of course best, but I suppose coffee would do too, accounting for local culture and preference.

Subject: Survey update
Mr Kirkland,
While we are still conducting the campaign, but I thought you may be interested in knowing some discoveries as they are emerging. One is particularly interesting, though I would not say unexpected. Despite MagicMint being thought for a target of 20-40, it is actually way more known and popular with middle-aged people.
Which make me wonder if we should not think about a repositioning.
F. Bonnefoy
P.S. My previous point on how MagicMint need more sugar remains.

Mr Bonnefoy,
In collaboration with the in situ marketing department I am revising the document you sent of your last conducted market survey.
It appears there are points that need to be discussed with a more thorough approach. To begin with, however, I can anticipate the impossibility to change the target audience. Unless we want to re do all the advertising, which would result in a loss for our company.
Further discussion and development are delayed to a meeting on a date that will be shortly communicated.
