Marketing Kenya in Poland - „Alliance of the Willing”
1. Executive Summary





KPF is a non-profit NGO, set up by Kenyans who studied in Poland to promote bilateral relations
between Kenya and Poland in trade, tourism and investments
Poland’s economy (5.4% GDP growth in 2004) and outbound tourism are booming, but Kenya is not
benefiting from this rapid growth
Today’s low value of bilateral trade ($10mln) and low volumes of Polish tourists (only 2,000 visitors a
year) stem from a poor knowledge of Kenya in Poland
We have designed a comprehensive programme to Market Kenya in Poland – an important new
gateway into the enlarged EU and into Eastern Europe
KPF obtained marketing facilities in Poland at significant discounts allowing for very cost-effective
Marketing of Kenya in Poland

We invite you to join the „Alliance of the Willing” to Market Kenya in Poland

We are asking you to contribute to the Alliance of the Willing.

The contribution we are asking you to make will not adversely impact your business. However, when
aggregated with similar contributions from other Members of the „Alliance” – and when wellcoordinated – it will make a significant impact on Kenya’s positive image in Poland

This positive image would then be enjoyed by your company, by all those who stand to benefit from
increased trade and tourism, and by the Kenyans at large

We believe the market is there to increase the value of bilateral trade to $100mln and the number of
Polish tourists to 20,000 by the year 2007

Because deadlines are tight, please respond by June 30th at the latest

Marketing Kenya in Poland - „Alliance of the Willing”
2. Background

Today’s trade value between Kenya and Poland (USD 10 mln annually) and today’s
number of Polish tourists visiting Kenya (approx. 2,000 a year) are disappointingly low
considering the potential of the Polish and the Kenyan markets

Poland is a large country (39 mln population USD 427 bln GDP) that joined EU on 1 May
2004, with a rapidly growing economy (5.4% GDP growth in 2004) and a booming
outbound long-haul tourism market (50-70% growth in 2004)

We in Kenya do not seem to have taken (as yet) note of the recent changes in Poland
and the opportunities Poland’s EU entry has created for Kenyan businesses

At the same time, Kenya remains relatively unknown in Poland (for the results of a
recently-conducted professional market research by GfK, please refer to our website
www.kenya.com.pl)

We in the Kenyan-Polish Forum (KPF) have set ourselves the following objectives*:

to assist businessmen in growing the value of mutual trade to USD 100 mln by 2007

to assist the Kenyan tourism industry in attracting 20,000 tourists from Poland by 2007
To help achieve those objectives, we have designed a comprehensive programme to
Market Kenya in Poland and are inviting you to join the „Alliance of the Willing”
•For a short description of KPF, please refer to Appendices A and B. For more details please refer to
a presentation dated May 16, 2005 available on our website www.kenya.com.pl

Marketing Kenya in Poland - „Alliance of the Willing”
3. The idea behind the „Alliance”

To address the deficiency of knowledge of Kenya in Poland, we have designed a
comprehensive Programme to Market Kenya in Poland

We recognize that Kenya is still a relatively poor economy with very limited
budgets for marketing itself externally



The idea behind „the Alliance” is that if many Kenyan companies and institutions
each contributes a small amount, the resultant aggregate amount - if well targeted
and coordinated - can make a visible impact
And all the companies/institutions will stand to benefit from Kenya’s improved
image in Poland - an important new gateway to the enlarged EU
Members of the „Alliance” will have also made a contribution to Kenya’s general
development

We are inviting those Kenyan companies/insitutions that will directly benefit from
increased numbers of Polish tourists and/or from increased volumes of bilateral
trade to join the „Alliance”

In keeping to the spirit of the Kenyan-Polish Forum and to increase the impact of
the marketing campaign we are also inviting Polish companies (tour operators,
airlines, etc.) who might have an interest in promoting Kenya on the Polish market
as well as the Polish media to join the „Alliance”

4. Marketing of Kenya Programme
(1/3)



We have designed a comprehensive programme for Marketing Kenya in Poland during
2005/2006
Consistent with MSK’s Brand Kenya Initiative, we want to market Kenya as an alluring tourist
destination, as an open, dynamic country with investment potential, as an ecologically-friendly
agricultural producer and as a free, independent, democratic African country with a respected
heritage.
Our Marketing Kenya programme consists of the following components:
1.
Billboards advertising - KPF has secured free billboard advertising space (Euro 35 covers the actual cost
of printing the ads+glueing them onto the billboards) during their slow time i.e. July/August 2005 and also
January/February 2006. We would like to place a series of Kenyan pictures portraying Kenyan beaches,
safari, culture, tea plantations, modern infrastructure, etc.) on upto 2,000 full-sized billboards all around
Poland during the above-mentioned „slow periods”
2.
„Passport to Kenya” booklets - last year we printed and distributed 30,000 copies. This year we would like
to print 100,000 copies which will contain country information (tourism, trade, culture, investment
opportunities, etc.) as well as company advertising. To be distributed at all events of the 2nd Kenyan
Week (September 16-27, 2005) as well as on the direct charter flights due to start in January 2006
3.
„Win a trip to Kenya” competitions - we plan to organize 36-40 competitions at all the events making up
the 2nd Kenyan Week in Poland (see below)
4.
2nd Kenya Week in Poland* - following the success of the 1st week (October 2004) we plan the following
events as part of the 2nd Kenya Week (Sept 16-27, 2005): participation of Kenyan runners at the Warsaw
Marathon, participation at TT Warsaw (a tourism trade fair), investment conference, Lech Walesa/Wangari
Maathai meeting, Kenya solo country trade exhibition, Kenyan Food Week, Kenya Cultural Weekend, curio
village, photo exhibitions, Kenyan Week in the Polish media, etc. As part of the Kenya Week, we also plan
to fly-in a group of 6 Kenyan acrobats to perform at all of the above-mentioned functions, and also live on
Polish TV
* For a chart of activities under the 2nd Kenya Week, please refer to Appendix D

Marketing Kenya in Poland - „Alliance of the Willing”
4. Marketing of Kenya Programme
(2/3)
5.
Wangari Maathai/Lech Walesa meeting - a debate is planned between the two Nobel Peace Prize laureates
on democracy, development, environment and sustainability. This event is likely to attract significant
media coverage and will underline the many things (including Nobel Peace Prize Laureates) that Kenya
and Poland have in common.
6.
„Karibu Kenya” 2006 Package for Poles - we are encouraging the GoK to take a bold innovative step to
lead the way to open up a new market for Kenya’s tourism industry. This special 2006 package (part of the
2006 - The Visit Kenya Year in Poland) is meant to send a strong signal that Kenya wants to attract more
Poles to visit our beautiful country. During only 2006 Poles should receive discounted park entry fees,
reduced visa fees, rebates for incentive groups and the Polish charter airlines discounts on landing and
navigational charges as well as airport passenger taxes to entice them to visit Kenya in large numbers.
On return to Poland, these tourists will become Kenya’s greatest (and most trusted) advocates. These
discounts - contrary to first impressions - would actually generate more revenue to GoK due to (a) larger
volumes of tourists from Poland, (b) increased revenues from indirect taxation (eg. VAT and excise duty
on the additional consumpiton of - amongst others - beer and liquors)
7.
Warsaw Zoo project - initially to start with a permanent photo exhibition, regular lectures and an
exhibition on Kenya’s wildlife conservancy efforts by KWS. This will demonstrate that we Kenyans have
also valuable contributions to make to the world. In 2007, the project will lead to the construction of a
permanent mini-Bomas of Kenya with Luo, Giriama, Masaai and Kikuyu, etc. huts in the „Kingdom of
Simba” part of the Warsaw Zoo grounds.
8.
Warsaw Marathon - this event (in its 27th year) had not previously attracted Kenyan entrants. Courtesy of
Athletics Kenya, Kenyan runners will participate this year and KPF will play African music, dance, serve
Kenyan tea and coffee, etc at the finish line. The flowers given to the winners should be supplied by the
Kenya Flower Council. The presence of Kenyan runners will also attract media attention.

4. Marketing of Kenya Programme
(3/3)
9.
Give-aways and sampling - we would like Kenyan tea, coffee, cashewnuts, etc to be served at the different
events (2nd Kenyan Week, Warsaw Zoo, Warsaw Marathon, etc). In addition, Kenyan beer and wild game
meat should be served at the Kenyan Food Week as well as at the gala banquet, the Kenya Night.
10. Demand-side market studies - to better understand the Polish market structure and opportunities,
professional studies should be commissioned to facilitate market entry. In addition to providing an overall
view of the Polish market, general trading conditions, etc. , the studies should cover tea, coffee,
pyrethrum, horticulture and other sectoral market segments.
11. Investment opportunities study - the aim of this study would be to identify Kenya’s priority areas for
investment as well as Poland’s key strengths so as to find the best potential matches. The study should
also produce a Polish-language „Investments in Kenya” brochure tailored to Polish requirements
12. Articles on Kenya - KPF has already developed a strong network of contacts within the Polish press (both
general but also specialist trade and tourism industry publications). This network will be leveraged to
place articles on Kenya’s attractions (tourist, cultural, but also trade and investment). The simplest way of
going about it, would be for existing suitable articles to be sent to KPF for translation into Polish
language.
13. Free advertising space - newspapers, airline inflight magazines, specialist media, etc. will be approached
to donate some free advertising space to promote Kenya in Poland, to promote Poland in Kenya, and to
promote the various initiatives undertaken by the Kenyan-Polish Forum.

The target audience of the above activities would be businessmen, potential investors, people
with income levels allowing foreign holidaymaking, but also the Polish public at large (through
our TV and media presence)
8
Marketing Kenya in Poland - „Alliance of the Willing”
5. Role of KPF

We designed the campaign to Market Kenya in Poland

We have leveraged our network of contacts in Poland to obtain the following:

free use of 400 sqm of exhibition space at Wola Park, the second-largest shopping mall in Warsaw during
the 1st Kenya Week, October 4-10, 2004. This space was used by KPF in conjunction with KTB and EPC
last year and will also be available for this year’s event

a free of charge professional market research study on the image of Kenya in Poland (conducted by GfK
Polonia in January 2005 and available on our website www.kenya.com.pl)

free of charge use of billboard space for outdoor advertising of Kenya

free access to the Polish state-owned TVP and to other media

These assets are now available for Kenyan companies/institutions to use to market Kenya in
Poland in a cost-effective manner

However, despite the very favourable terms obtained by KPF, marketing Kenya will not come
completely free. Advertising materials must be printed, prizes for winners of competitions
financed, exhibition villages built and assembled, Kenyan acrobats and chefs flow-in, etc.


We realize that at this early stage of Kenya’s entry onto the Polish market, none of the Kenyan
companies has the local presence to justify large investments in marketing Kenya in Poland
Hence we in KPF have undertaken the role of:
a)
recruiting members of the „Alliance of the Willing”
b)
coordinating the activities to pursue synergies and ensure maximum impact of the programme for
Marketing Kenya in Poland programme

Marketing Kenya in Poland - „Alliance of the Willing”
6. What we expect from you

We would like you to join the „Alliance of the Willing” to Market Kenya in
Poland As a Member of the „Alliance” you would be expected to contribute
the following:
- Please refer to the table on the next slide

We are convinced that the above contribution will not significantly impact
your bottom-line or budgets On the other hand, the aggregation of your
contribution with similar contributions from other Kenyan companies and
institutions will make a big difference to the Marketing Kenya in Poland
programme

This will exemplify the pure spirit of Harambee. The Market Kenya in Poland
programme is very similar to those Harambees held to build a road to join the
village to the outside markets. All Members of the „Alliance” will stand to
benefit from Kenya’s enhanced image

For a summary schedule of other Kenyan + Polish companies/institutions we
are inviting to join the „Alliance of the Willing” see the table on the next slide.


What is the Kenyan-Polish Forum? (2/5)
Why and how
Why do we want to do it?
1. Knowing and understanding both countries we see huge unexploited potential
in co-operation between our countries
2. If there is no co-ordinated effort on both sides, it would take years before this
co-operation hits any reasonable levels
3. KPF, as an NGO, is well positioned to play a catalyst role

Methods
1. Organizing series of selected high-profile events to promote Kenya in Poland
as well as events to promote Poland in Kenya
2. Incorporating KPF events into high-hype events in both countries
3. Maintenance of an active Trade and Investment Information Centre
4. Smart marketing activities building proper perception of both countries

Due to limited resources on both sides we want to achieve this the smart
way
