#Brands | Jadé J’ADORE JADÉ The tobacco market is influenced by multiple changes. In such conditions it is important as never before to meet all expectations and needs of customers, offering them a modern high-quality product at a reasonable price. U sing this policy, Jadé works in the market of Russia and Central Asia. With positioning as a feminine brand for connoisseuses of slim cigarettes and following the right pricing strategy, in March we managed to overturn the key annual indicator and achieve 0.54% market share. To maintain an image of a real female brand, in the end of 2017 we held My Bright Day Contest. Beautiful women from eight Russian cities won an all-girl party for themselves and their friends. Girls visited a beauty parlor, passed by the city in a limousine and had a dinner in a restaurant in the evening. To maintain sales, in March and April we held a motivational program in the region with the highest potential for increase in the SSL segment – in the South. Sales teams of Megapolis and ITG, wholesalers and retail customers took part in the program. Thanks to joint teamwork, we managed to increase our sales by 35 % compared to the plan! Of course, it is important to monitor trends and go along with them. Due to changes in customer preferences and significant decrease in demand for menthol cigarettes, the La Menthe product line was excluded from the Jadé portfolio. Now, stock of this product is being sold, and new berry-flavored Jadé Les Clipse is prepared for launch. We believe that this product will help the brand to break new ground, and our customers will duly appreciate it! NEW BERRY-FLAVORED JADÉ LES CLIPSE IS 0.54 % PREPARED FOR LAUNCH. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CUSTOMERS WILL DULY APPRECIATE IT! JADÉ MARKET SHARE The Империалист |  | 16
