Status
• Status of Business in 2003 Stagnant, no growth for last 2
years
• Customer Profile Mostly illiterate
Low purchasing power
Interested to buy qualityproduct but easily influenced byretailer
![Page 10: Mart Implementation Team (Dellhi based Rural Marketing Research & Consulting Firm)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/54629c17af7959ba618b4db5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Brand Communication Strategy 2003 (before MART involvement)
• Use of Static Media Wall and Shop Painting
Limitation: exposure only when customer visits shop and difficult to communicate brand benefits to illiterates
• Interactive one on one media Audio-visual communication on mobile van
Limitation: Male decision maker at work
![Page 11: Mart Implementation Team (Dellhi based Rural Marketing Research & Consulting Firm)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/54629c17af7959ba618b4db5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MART recommended promotion at weekly markets
• Why weekly markets Visitors are mostly rural poor (R3 + R4), so target group is addressed
Large turnout of 5,000 people from 20 – 25 villages
Visitors are in buying mode
Over 45,000 such markets in most parts of India
![Page 12: Mart Implementation Team (Dellhi based Rural Marketing Research & Consulting Firm)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081801/54629c17af7959ba618b4db5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Impact of Campaign
• Participated in 5,000 markets in 17 states, 250 districts over 4 years. Four million potential customers exposed to brand
50,000 potential consumers surveyed
30 percent growth in sales at retail outlets

the favor.

Rural Promotion : Marico
Parachute: Fighting Loose Coconut Oil in Haats
Problem: Rural markets in Maharastra sold loose coconut oil and
lookalikes of Parachute. Price Rs 6 vs Rs 10 per 100 gms
Solution Recommended: To counter competition from loose oil, MART
suggested promoting Parachute pouch packing of 6ml, 20ml, 50ml and
100ml in haats.
Action: MART piloted promotion in 4 haats in 2 districts in Maharastra.
Participation strategy was 3 consecutive outings
1st week for awareness generation
2nd for sales promotion and
3rd for sales linkages with haat sellers
Result: Parachute sale jumped from Rs 500 per haat to Rs 3000 over
three weeks

• LPG is only clean fuel in rural but limited
availability
•Major cooking fuel is biomass
•But biomass generates smoke causing health
problems
• food varies and also the size of utensils
•Different types of cooking stoves used for
cooking…
• wide variety of food
• many sizes of utensils depending on family
•single burner in one state & double in other
• Need for a low
smoke emitting
