 I have chosen the brand RADHUNI which is a brand of SQUARE Consumer Products Ltd. And this brand has a wide variety of products. These are – RADHUNI powdered spice, RADHUNI Kheer Mix, RADHUNI Halim Mix, RADHUNI Meat Curry Mix, RADHUNI Kabab Masala, RADHUNI Fish Curry
Masala, RADHUNI Chatpati Masala and so on. All these products have already become very popular in the market.


RADHUNI’s mind share, heart share, and market share are in the highest position in its industry. ”RADHUNI” has successfully made awareness build up. Almost everyone mentioned the name of “RADHUNI” when are asked to name a brand of this kind. “RADHUNI” has just finished its introduction stage in the product life cycle (PLC) and it is now at the beginning of the growth stage in PLC.




As RADHUNI is leader in the market, it has a high growth rate and its relative market share is also high.  Have a look on the table where Radhuni brand stands. 


About the buying habit of consumers those who buy ‘powdered spice’  usually tend to buy “RADHUNI” with a few exceptions. Though people usually buy “RADHUNI” the exception happens due to unavailability of the products in the shop. Few retailers, who keep other brands, try to influence its customers to buy that whatever have in their shops. “RADHUNI” has acquired a strong position in the market, its market share currently reached to 55%. “RADHUNI” is the market leader in its industry. I can see the approximate market share from the pie chart given below;



Figure- Market Share of RADHUNI
 

 


“RADHUNI” is leading the market with a variety of products. “RADHUNI” has almost every items of cooking starting from turmeric powder to spicy mixed powder for meat, fish, chotpoty,halim, kheer, and even pachforon.
Though the market has already got some competitors, “RADHUNI” is doing quite fine in the market. This has been possible through its strong reputation for quality and trust. But the situation has challenged the new entrants while the existing firms are having hardship to increase or grab market share. Many companies are not getting the market share because of their poor distribution coverage, advertising, sales promotion and so on. Competitors pricing are relatively low compare to “RADHUNI.
VIPS:

Visibility
To stop the reader has started with the headline which reads “Kano Radhuni KHATI”? Then have shown the illustration in a big shape, sequentially have given the text in the last.  Have neither used extreme of texts nor said anything. Tried to put few relevant lines so that our audiences do not get bored. To make it more visible to the audiences have tried to show the brand name of Radhuni as whenever possible. To draw attention are also very much selective in media space.

                          
Identity
Have not only showed the logo of Radhuni but also showed the packet of Radhuni to make the audiences clear about whom  are, what  are advertising for, at the bottom of the ad  have mentioned the company name of our brand

Promise
The ad is organized in a way that it will make the audience curious to read and watch the entire ad using of its “KANO” in the headline. It will make the audience to be sloth.




Simplicity
Have tried to be casual and keep things simple. Everywhere, from headline to the body copy, have used simple words.  Have avoided giving unnecessary information rather have given very specific information with regard to our products. Have tried to stick with one selling idea which is “PURITY”. Our headline says “Kano Radhuni KHATI”?  Have analyzed this question from the very first line of the body copy.
Have finished with a summary statement…………………………………………………………

Sale Promotion:
Sales promotion is crucial in attracting consumer. It can be of directly or via the intermediaries. Sales promotion is important to increase the sales. It is important to give incentives to intermediaries to make them satisfied. Otherwise it will switch the brand. “RADHUNI” is giving retailers and wholesalers various type of sales promotion like – give various types of incentives.
Adding and giving more benefits to consumers is a way of delighting them and make them to be loyal to the brand in terms of competition. It suggests that they care for our consumers and other concern stakeholders as well.
The reason why they have ranked TV first is it because it is more important for us to reach their target market at the same time to fulfill their objective. As their target market is large and may be newspaper is not going to be an effective media to reach them. So they have decided to make Radhuni's target consumer informed about any kind of change, gift, and discount. They will let them know by sales promotion comes later because at first they have to reach Radhuni's target market then to make them satisfied and to retain them they must use sales promotion.
The Advertising along is not always enough to move their products off store shelves and in the hand of consumers. Company should also use sales promotion methods targeted at both consumer and wholesalers and retailers that distribute their products to stimulate demand. To be successful integrated marketing communication programs must include consumer and take promotion that coordinate with advertising, direct marketing and public relation camping’s as well as sales force efforts. The way it is important to give reason to buy through advertisement, it is also important to give incentives to by the products and that is why sales promotion is important in promotion mix. 

Targeting :

Initially for target the market will go for women who are living in urban areas. In this case followed geographic segmentation and the demographic segmentation as well. can be either housewives or service holders. The causes behind of targeting urban women are -
First-The price of the product, as the price of this product is a bit high which is only affordable by the urban people. Because RADHUNI know that the people of urban are relatively rich then the rural people.
Second-Use of quality product, in this case urban people is more quality conscious then the rural people.
Third-In urban areas generally people are busy with various activities. So are very much unwilling to buy raw spice and get bored of doing a manual process. In this situation ready mix spice is like a magic for them.
Fourth-The people of urban areas are not getting pure and quality powdered spice in the market. So RADHUNI are assuring the people of urban that are giving them pure and quality products. In this situation it will be a great way for the urban people of getting fresh and pure powdered spice without any harassment.
Fifth - The service holder women are very busy with their jobs and other activities have limited time for cooking. So at this moment ready mix spice will be very much attractive and convenient for them.
Sixth -Women can easily avoid their physical blending process by using this powdered spice. This will save their energy and time.

Problems
After analyzing the market their ad agency found some lacking of RADHUNI brand which is creating barriers to grab a substantial market share for this brand. These problems are -
§   People of our country still think that this type of ready mix spice will not give them that taste what could have from the powdered spice which make manually.
     §    The Consumers are exposed to ads given by some other companies

SOLUTION                                                     
§ In resolving this problem RADHUNI need to develop a creative and effective ad which should be focusing on the attitude of the consumers and change it accordingly by assuring more benefit from that of traditional VANGANO MASALA. If  RADHUNII can build an ad which contains a massage, through that people can understand this product will meet their demand and this brand will give them more than what  can get from the traditional VANGANO MASALA.
§   RADHUNI have to make an ad which must be more creative and more effective then the competitors. In this way RADHUNI can attract our target consumers and make them aware about Radhuni brand.

  1. Yes I agree that people of our country have negative points of view in ready made spice. That's why still a lot of people don't buy powder spice. So they need to do some creative communication.
