With Different Segments
Brand Essence "Spread the Smile"
36. DIVERSIFICATION
Indian rural and agri. market is 70% to other resources in India ,but only 30 %
of GDP is from agriculture sector . ITC realized it that their cigarette business
has a limit future which they wont be able to tap profit and their expansion
plans. So diversification was needed in any case, to build a foothold in Indian
market.
FMCG being the fourth largest sector in the field which is expanding at a
very fast pace and it has huge potential , along with the benefit that it can
be accrued by organizing the existing fragmented market accrued by
market leading to concept of „one stop shop‟.
Further India being one of the largest economies with the benefit of its vast
market ,it attracted ITC to the expand its operation in various areas of
hospitality, FMCG ,Greeting cards Branded Apparels etc.
37. PRICING STRATEGY
There is Two method of Pricing
1. Low Margin
2. Two-Pronged Strategy
Essentially, Parle plays a high volume, low margin game.
But Sunfeast look at a two-pronged strategy, High margins in cream variants
and volumes from the Marie and Glucose segments. For instance, cream biscuits
from both Sunfeast cost Rs10 for 100 grams.
Parle, however, only charges Rs 5 for its cream variants.
Except for Hide & Seek, all of Parle 'products lie in the price range between Rs 4
and Rs 6for 100 gram packs.
38. BRAND PRAMOTION
In August 2003, a month after Sunfeast launch, the company
undertook a major sampling exercise to promote the product. For two
years then, the brand did all the usual rounds -- riding behind
buses, blocking television spots, booking that corner space in your
favorite newspaper and soon.
The company says the brand is now available in nearly 1.8million outlets, Well
differentiated advertisements, some which showed a complete cream world with
cream rivers, cream mountains and cream trees, were targeted at kids watching
cartoon channels. In April 2005, Sunfeast launched its major campaign. It signed
on Hindi film actor, Shahrukh Khan as its brand ambassador
39. SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
• Sun feast has to give attention towards Advertisement.
• Sun feast has to maintain its status by providing more and more
facilities.
• Sun feast has to develop more variety of biscuit so that the customer
could not return in case of lack of choice.
• The company should also give emphasis on other gift scheme
