Task 1: Management Communication

From: Debi Townsend
Subject: Sparkit Product Launch
Hi Team,
, I am so excited to be working with all of you on the launch of Sparkit! I
wanted to share some key talking points to address some of the advantages
and disadvantages of Sparkit and what we are doing to mitigate those as we
head to market.
Advantages of Sparkit:
1. Compatibility: To ensure Sparkit works with as many different types
of vehicles as possible, we partnered with a large automobile
manufacturer. We estimate that 50% of cars on the road today can
be retrofitted with Sparkit! This gives us a large target market to
work in and an opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint of the
automobile industry.
2.Cost-effective: Sparkit gives consumers the ability to be more
environmentally friendly without having to spend thousands of
dollars to purchase an entirely new vehicle. Additionally, biofuels
are more affordable than traditional gasoline.
Disadvantages of Sparkit:
1. Incorrect installation: Incorrect installation is a result of customers
in installing Sparkit themselves instead of having a professional
complete the project which can result in reduced performance or
engine malfunction.
2.Supply chain disruptions: Our current supplier of a critical filter,
Autojor has been affected by a natural disaster. As a result, the
supply of filters critical for Sparkit has been reduced by about 25%,
slowing production,
Mitigation strategies:
1. Professional installation partnership: We are working to
establish a partnership with automotive professionals to offer
installation at a reduced price. Our marketing campaign will
also emphasize the importance of professional installation.
2.Additional suppliers: We are currently sourcing additional
suppliers of our filter component. Expanding to two suppliers,
will allow us to increase production to match market demand.
Thank you for all your hard work to make Sparkit a success. Let’s continue
to work together to change the automotive industry forever.
Sincerely,
Debi
