11. The 3rd P: Place
GSLL and R&C were multi-product giants whereas
KAPL was a newcomer with a single product. Hence
the former companies (before launching vaporizers)
already had well established distribution networks.
The only P in which KAPL was behind its major
competitors was “Place”.
Of the 9 lacs outlets across the country that sold
repellants, KAPL was available in only 18% (120
distributors)
12. The 4th P: Promotion
The ads of All Out were unique and immediately caught
the imagination of the masses.
The ad had high mind recall.
Since KAPL themselves handled the account the
advertisement cost was quite low.
Other strategies:
1. Hindi Movie Video Cassettes
2. FM Radio
3. News Program Sponsors
4. Movie Song/Dance/Fight Sequence sponsoring on
satellite TV Channels.

The all out is at it maturity stage.

As the competitors are increasing and there is a stiff
competition.
Good knight having 43% and all out 42% in july 2011.
however in MAT all out still has the highest market
share of 45% and good night of 39%.
So we can say that the product cycle has reached a
maturity stage..
