Graph 1: Showing Observation in Kirana Stores

Analysis and Interpretation
As per the observations in Kirana Stores, they sell maximum 2 brands i.e., Maggi and Yuppie noodles. Maggi sale is higher than yuppie because of brand equity. We found both the brands are promoting their brands in Kirana stores. There are limited flavors available and distribution of Maggi is better than Yuppie distribution. Distribution is done through sales man, weekly they come and fulfill the orders of stores. Rs.10 packs are highly preferred and fast moving in Kirana stores and family pack is not preferred because the consumer who comes to these stores are daily customers. According to Sri Ganesha Store’s manager “promotion of Yuppie had an impact on Maggi sales. He also states that Maggi has a specialty that

    Maggi Brand in India

    • 265 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Maggi Comes to India – teething troubles Maggi noodles was launched in India in theearly1980s. Carlo M. Donati, the present Chairman and Managing Director of Nestle India Ltd, brought the instant noodle brand to India during his short stint here in the early eighties. At that time, there was no direct competition. The first competition came from the ready-to-eat snack segment which included snacks like samosas, biscuits or maybe peanuts, that were usually ‘the bought out’ type. The second competition came from the home made snacks like pakodas or sandwiches. So there were no specific buy and make snack! Moreover both competitors had certain drawbacks in comparison. Snacks like samosas are usually bought out, and outside food is generally considered unhygienic and unhealthy. The other competitor, ‘homemade’ snacks overcame both these problems but had the disadvantage of extended preparation time at home. Maggi was positioned as the only hygienic homemade snack! Despite this, Nestlé faced difficulties with their sales after the initial phase. The reason being, the positioning of the product with the wrong target group. Nestle had positioned Maggi as a convenience food product aimed at the target group of working women who hardly found any time for cooking. Unfortunately this could not hold the product for very long. In the course of many market researches and surveys, the firm found that children were the biggest consumers of Maggi noodles. Quickly they repositioned it towards the kids segment with various tools of sales promotion like colour pencils, sketchpens, fun books, Maggi clubs which worked wonders for the…

    When nestle launched Maggi, the biggest obstacle in the brand’s success was not competition or substitution but it was the psyche of the very customers that the brand was targeted at. The initial marketing strategy positioned Maggi as a pre-cooked food which can be prepared fast and easy. This was targeted at working women who did not had much time to cook for them or their husbands or were very tired by the evening to prepare a meal. The general psyche of Indians made Maggi look as a unhealthy brand as it was made from refined flour or Maida. Initially the market was not very accepting of the brand or even the product category as a whole. After the initial troubles with the sale not picking up, the researchers showed that the product was very popular among children because of the taste and the shape of the product. Realising this, Nestle repositioned the brand towards the kids using sales promotions and smart advertising. Now Indians are the largest eaters of Maggi Noodles in the world. Maggi Noodles is a…

    The performance measures used to evaluate retail operations will depend on the level of the organization where the resources the manager controls and the decision the manager is making. There are many factors that to be considered before a retailer evaluates the overall performance of a store. Thus, it is very difficult to use one single measure to evaluate the performance of a store. For example, a store manager could easily increase sales and inventory turnover by lowering prices, but the gross profit margin would be affected as a result. Thus, managers must aware how their actions would affect multiple performance measures.…
