blunder.
Now Amul is all set to launch bottled water “NARMADA
NEER”.
33. SEGMENTATION
• Wide range of product categories caters to consumers across all
market segments. For example, Amul Kool is targeted at
children, while teenagers prefer Kool Café, as it has a cool
imagery associated with it.
• Segmentation is not as easy in curd and low fat products, due to
mixed audiences, various culinary applications , eg. ghee,
butter and cheese.
“In India, the most used spread is ghee, then butter, cheese, low
fat butter, margarine, cheese spread and mozzarella cheese.

consumers total brand experience

country, which contributed 3% to the brand’s total turnover last
year.

campuses of Infosys, Wipro, IIM-A, IIT-B, Temples, Metro rail
and railway stations in Gujarat.
35. PROMOTION
• Given this wide product portfolio, Amul’s approach is to
promote its brands in a rotational cycle of two to three years.
• After ice-creams were launched in 1996, the category was re-
visited in 1999, in order to improve availability of the product
and make it affordable.
• Below-the-line activity has grown too — such as the Amul food
festival, which has been held for the last four year between
October and December in about 50,000 retail outlets.

recipes using as many Amul products as possible, and is
conducted at city, state and national level

1967.
• The first Topical ad came out in 1969 at the beginning of the Hare Rama
Hare Krishna movement.
• One of the most conservative FMCG entities — GCMMF — spends a mere
1% of its turnover on promotions.
• Amul butter girl is one of the longest run ad campaigns in the country for
43 years.
• Entered in the Guinness Book Of World Records for being the longest
running campaign ever.
