Expected product should cover- Boosting immunity and health benefits as it is one of the primary
promises of the product
Augmented Product: Here you could cover tasty, tangy, palatable, as usually most healthy
products are not associated with taste
Potential Product: By making it a chutney paste- you are changing the complete format- that is a
line extension (will be taught to you); The potential product could be a chyawanprash that is
created for different diseases, etc.
Slide 4- Price
Should have given prices of competitors as well- to clearly show the competitive pricing
Slide 7- Place
Not done in detail at all; just the jargon taught in class was pasted back here.
Examples of each type (or pictures) are not given
What type of specialty stores are you talking about?
It is not available in bakeries as far I know. Please check and give an example
The pictures put are examples of promotion strategies, its not the place
Slide 8- Promotion
No details of an ad was covered, what message is trying to be conveyed through their
communication
Billboards/Hoardings hold true for all brands- show pictures,
Details of Swasthya Chetna Abhiya should have been covered
Very vaguely and poorly done- could hold true for any brand; please ensure you go through the
promotion- ads, etc in greater detail
