Parle Products company was founded in 1929 in British India. It was owned by the Chauhan family of Vile Parle, Mumbai.
Parle began manufacturing biscuits in 1939. In 1947, when India became independent, the company launched an ad campaign, showcasing its Gluco biscuits as an Indian alternative to the British biscuits.
The Parle brand became well known in India following the success of products such as the Parle-G biscuits and the Thumbs Up soft drink.

During the Pujas it is very easy to reach the target audience because more and more people are generally on the streets hopping pandals. Hence, the exposure of the advertisements can be increased through OOH(Out of Home) i.e. hoardings, billboards, and etc.
Therefore Parle used these such strategies to reach the target audience.

PARLE is a multinational company of biscuits and confectioneries. Its advertising plan is intact but still great things have loopholes. So in this project we have plucked out the insignificant loopholes and tried to cover it up with “IDEAS”.

Make the audience buy the product.
Promote the products during puja.

Create a “TOMA” effect.

Strength - Advertisements (hoardings, billboards) were given throughout the city during the puja to create a “TOMA” effect. No other advertisement were as widespread as PARLE was during the pujas. Moreover Parle was renowned and multinational company.
Limitations – OOH advertisements were only given in urban areas of Bengal during the pujas. No special television ad was forecasted during the pujas. Print ad was used but it was less.

Opportunity – As Parle products target audience was heterogeneous, puja was the perfect time to get their exposure. During the pujas it was a piece of cake for Parle to reach their desired audience and they did it marvelously specially through OOH.
Threat – There was obviously threat from the competitors but their immediate threat was ignorance of the audience about their product’s ad.

A strict policy was followed by Parle which was to advertise through ATL activities.
Their main objective was to create “TOMA”.
They wanted to promote both their BDI and as well as CDI through the advertisements.
Radio broadcast of Parle ads were not given during the pujas.
