CHAPTER -1 INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Marketing strategy is a process that can allow an organization to concentrate its resources on the optimal opportunities with the goals of increasing sales and achieving a sustainable competitive advantage. Marketing strategy includes all basic and long-term activities in the field of marketing that deal with the analysis of the strategic initial situation of a company and the formulation, evaluation and selection of market-oriented strategies and therefore contribute to the goals of the company and its marketing objectives.

Developing a marketing strategy

Marketing strategies serve as the fundamental underpinning of marketing plans designed to fill market needs and reach marketing objectives. Plans and objectives are generally tested for measurable results. Commonly, marketing strategies are developed as multi-year plans, with a tactical plan detailing specific actions to be accomplished in the current year. Time horizons covered by the marketing plan vary by company, by industry, and by nation, however, time horizons are becoming shorter as the speed of change in the environment increases. Marketing strategies are dynamic and interactive. They are partially planned and partially unplanned. See strategy dynamics. Marketing strategy involves careful scanning of the internal and external environments. Internal environmental factors include the marketing mix, plus performance analysis and strategic constraints. External environmental factors include customer analysis, competitor analysis, target market analysis, as well as evaluation of any elements of the technological, economic, cultural or political/legal environment likely to impact success. A key component of

marketing strategy is often to keep marketing in line with a company's overarching mission statement. Once a thorough environmental scan is complete, a strategic plan can be constructed to identify business alternatives, establish challenging goals, determine the optimal marketing mix to attain these goals, and detail implementation.

Our History Past
What started as a small town enterprise in India today is a global phenomenon! In the year 1937 Haldirams began as a small shop in Bikaner, the already famed city for its Indian savouries. Later in the year 1982 Haldirams set up a store in New Delhi, the capital of the country and within no time the word of mouth grew the business manifold over the next decade. Now Haldirams products had become a symbol of taste, hygiene & innovation across the world. Having made a mark in the national territory Haldirams spread its wings by diversifying operations in the outer world by setting up its first international market in USA. As the country was home for many Non Resident Indians (NRIs), our savouries found a good market for itself and have today become a part of their everyday life.

Haldirams diversified into the restaurant business to cash in on its brand image. The company established restaurants in Delhi. The restaurant devised an innovative strategy to increase its business: It facilitated people who were traveling by train through station to order food from places where stockists of Haldirams unit were located. The customers could order for lunch/dinner by sending a demand draft (DD) or cheque to the unit or giving the same to specified local distributors belonging to the unit. Along with the DD/cheque, customers had to provide information such as the name of the train, its likely time of arrival at city, their names and coach and seat numbers. Haldirams restaurants in Delhi also used innovative ways to attract customers. The restaurant located at Mathura road had special play area for children. To cater to NRIs and foreign tourists, who hesitated to consume snack foods sold by the roadside vendors since it was not prepared in a hygienic manner, the Haldirams restaurant located in South Delhi used specially purified water to make snack foods including pani puri and chat papri.

We do this through our six strategic R&D laboratories that focus on delivering ground-breaking technologies and our 6 major development centres that develop and implement product innovations. Our strategic research and development laboratories are located in Delhi, Gurgaon, and Noida.

Manufacturing Process
There is a strong emphasis on international standards of manufacturing and quality control. Our products taste like they have arrived fresh out of grannys kitchen; we share the Indian grannys proverbial fetish for hygiene. Our ethos may date back to vintage India, but our outlook is every bit as professional as that of a progressive, modern day Indian company. We have regular laboratory check to ensure that the quality parameters of FDA, USA and Safety Act, UK are met at every level - raw material to finished products. We also have advanced in-house testing facilities for Aflatoxin, Pesticides, Sudan colors and other Microbiological tests. And the laboratory is not all there is. We have a definite environmental policy in place, which lays emphasis on waste management, water and energy conservation. You can have a look at a short video alongwith this page to get idea on our manufacturing process.

Packaging
Packaging was an important aspect of Haldirams product promotion. Since namkeens were impulse purchase items, attractive packaging in different colors influenced purchases. Haldirams used the latest technology (food items were packed in nitrogen filled pouches) to increase the shelf life of its products. While the normal shelf life of similar products was under a week, the shelf life of Haldirams products was about six months. The company projected the shelf life of its products as its unique selling proposition. Posters highlighting the
20

shelf life of its products carried the caption six months on the shelf and six seconds in your mouth. During festival season, Haldirams products were sold in attractive looking special gift packs.

Marketing
Haldirams product promotion had been low key until competition intensified in the snack foods market. Consequently, attractive posters, brochures and mailers were designed to enhance the visibility of the Haldirams brand. Different varieties of posters were designed to appeal to the masses. The punch line for Haldirams products was, Always in good taste. Advertisements depicting the entire range of Haldirams sweets and namkeens were published in the print media (magazines and newspapers). These advertisements had captions such as millions of tongues cant go wrong, What are you waiting for, Diwali? and Keeping your taste buds on their toes. To increase the visibility of the Haldirams brand, the company placed its hoardings in high traffic areas such as train stations and bus stations. Posters were designed for display on public transport vehicles such as buses, and hoardings, focused on individual products were developed. Captions such as yeh corn hain (this is corn), chota samosa big mazaa (small samosa big entertainment), yeh Kashmiri mix khoob jamega (this namkeen item will gel well) and oozing with taste (for Rasgoolas) promoted individual products. For those customers who wanted to know more about Haldirams products, special brochures were designed which described the products and gave information about the ingredients used to make it. Mailers were also sent to loyal customers and important corporate clients as a token of appreciation for their patronage.

CHAPTER -6 FINDINGS, SUGGESTION, CONCLUSION

FINDINGS Consumers have started increasing their consumption of other brand items which is evident from the fact that 29 of the 32 respondents eat Haldirams Namkeens while a close 21 each eat products of Lays and Lehar. However local snacks seem to be losing their hold on the consumers mainly because of their lack of stress on hygiene and quality. Another interesting finding that is that in the absence of the role of the Influencer, the roles of the Decider and User seem to be shared by the same person. One aspect, however, that Haldirams needs to focus on is their price. 41% found it to be High. Haldirams needs to focus on this factor as any reduction in the price cut by its competitors may influence the buyer to drift towards another brand. Overall, Haldirams is undoubtedly the most favored namkeen of the consumers and this is established by one of the findings whereby 91% of the total respondents actually consume Haldirams.

CONCLUSION

The market is clogged with dominant players such as Frito-Lay India, PepsiCos snack foods arm, which has almost brought in a snack-chip revolution in the country. Even the dairy major Mother Dairy has a presence in the category. With the entry of companies such as ITC and HLL into this industry, it is getting tough for companies such as Haldirams who till now have not paid serious attention to its branding activities. Increased media exposure, ever increasing purchasing power of the target audience coupled with their desire to spend more on eating out due to lifestyle changes will fuel the demand for snack food items and only those companies which have a considerable share of voice and space in the market will be able to survive. Haldirams has the capability of meeting these demands and only requires a certain revision in its strategies to be able to do so successfully, which it already has begun to consider.

SUGGESTION Haldirams should aim at constructing a comprehensive media mix. It could venture into corporate tie-ups at its various outlets. Set up mini outlets inside the multinational office complexes. Cash in on the call center wave and have tie-ups with business process outsourcing companies. Undertake catering at get together, wedding and kitty parties for women who form a chunk of its target audience. Conduct road shows on various campuses nationwide.
