29. Grappo Fizz:-
â˘Higher Awareness -> Lower undertake â> Higher Repeat Purchase Intention
Click to go to comparative picture
â˘One of the prominent factor consumers pointed out is that; it is difficult to find a
sync between a grape juice and the presence of fizz in it.
â˘We can follow the âAppy Classic to Appy Fizzâ path.
â˘Familiarize the customer with grape juice and then emphasize on the fizz variant.
â˘How about having a grape juice (May be âGrappoââŚ! ) at Rs. 12/- price
point⌠?

31. Sampling:-
â˘One of the most effective way to increase consumer awareness and product acceptance
among the consumers is to sample our products.
â˘Sampling conducted in well coordinated manner always yields positive results as it was evident
in the sampling done for Hippo Round Round & Saint 100% Juices.
â˘At the same time placement of sampling kiosks inside the store is also very important. Placing
the kiosk near to your product shelf/bay is not always beneficial. (Share the Big Bazaar Experience)

32. Product Differentiation between Hippo & Hippo Round Round:-
Few interesting comments from the customers on Hippo & Hippo Round Round:-
⢠âAre you people inspired from Super Mario & Luiggi ?â
⢠âOn looking at the package it seems that one contains wheat balls, another contain small
chapatis made by wheat balls. â
⢠âIt looks like twins separated at Kumbh Mela.â
⢠âWhy is it looking like Hritik Roshan & Harman Baweja sitting together ?â

33. ⢠Maintaining stocks at crucial point of time is absolutely necessary. For
example:
⢠Total Mall, Mahadevpura, Bangalore â Stocks for Hippo & Saint Juices were not
present for many days.
⢠Big Bazaar, Whitefeild, Bangalore â After getting good response during the
sampling activity, 3 variants of Hippo Round Round were out of stock for one
entire week.
⢠Modern Trade Scenario in Jabalpur for Parle Agro. Give a brief
34. Conclusion:-
⢠Parle Agro is one of the very few FMCG food companies in India whose entire gamut of
products are having a USP of upholding the âPink Healthâ of the consumer. However most of
the modern trade consumers feel that this message is not clearly communicated by Parle Agro.
⢠A good number of modern trade consumers are brand conscious. Maximum of their
purchases inside the store (FMCG in particular) are based on their brand recall value.
During the project tenure, it was good to observe Parle Agroâs recall value on a positive
rank. But somewhere we are lacking in encashing the opportunity by not mentioning
company logo on Hippo & Hippo Round Round.
â˘Most of the modern trade stores have their own web-space where they offer the
convenience of shopping from home or office. We can increase our presence on their
web-space. Although this measure wont increase our revenues significantly, but it will
help us to build up our brand presence and value.
37. â˘In this picture, Bambino cross promoted its
vermicelli with their own brand of Badam Milk
powder.
â˘Here both the products are complementing each
other. Moreover the combi pack is just 2 rupees
cheaper than separate purchases.
⢠Similarly Grappo Fizz can be combined with
Hippo Round Roundâs Punjab Da Pickle & Goan
Butter Garlic as these flavors go well with the fizz
drink.

44. Following were the few points highlighted by Big Bazaar, Jabalpur :-
1) Appy Fizz is very popular here but they were unable to meet the demand due to irregular
supplies.
2) They are not storing Hippo & Hippo Round Round for past SIX MONTHS inspite of having
POs. Neither the local daily kiranawalas have it. Those who have are having very old stock.
3) Big Bazaar has got only one time supply of Saint Juices. It was some 7-8 months ago and
that too close to 65% of the stock was of Orange variant. So at this point of time the local
customers have near about zero awareness about our 100% juices. Whereas Real & XS from
Godrej are doing business of approximately 26 cases a month in each of the modern trade
outlet. (Pictures of their display attached).
4) Even for Frooti they were unhappy about the supplies with lead time of approximately 7
days.
5) Frooti 2ltr pack is generating good business in all the modern stores. However its Slice
500ML which is stealing the show among all PET Bottle Mango FBDs. Slice is shelling out
pretty good discounts on their landing price and was enjoying the most space of all in the
store.

Pros â Negligible competition at this price point, Easier approach to familiarize the consumer, Established line of productCons â May prove costly to launch a new product altogether, itâs a kind of reverse line extension - the image of the product should be handled properly
