3. In the add they have shown a mother who gets angry when his son is addicted to noodles and again have the noodles leaving his daily nutrious meal.
4. So she runs behind her son to stop him to have noodles and doen not allow her son to have it.
5. Similarly the same thing is shown in case of other moms and their children too.
6. Through which we come to now that majority of the mummy’s do not want their son to be addicted to noodles and rerain them from having it.
7. When these moms prohibits their son in having the noodles suddenly there is a huge earth quake and new packed foodles(the product enters) pops out.
8. And then the features of the product has been explained i.e its healthy and nutritious too and the contents it has in it.
9. Mummy is also happy now and has no problem in his children having foodles since its nutritious.
10. And then in the end the regular foodles packet along with the four grain packet is shown for its customers to have a perfect view of how the product looks and must have no problem or doubt while purchasing it.
14. # STRENGTH:- Legacy of Horlicks in wellness, large distribution network# WEAKNESS : Lack of experience in the segment, lesser traction in North and West# OPPORTUNITY : Market growing in double digits, instant noodles widely accepted as snack food# THREAT: Category hinges on subjective taste, market monopolised by Nestlé’s Maggi, Hindustan Unilever wants a slice of the pie.
16. Being totally new product in the market under a strong parent brand horlicks the marketing has been carried out in full swing and is also going on.
17. Before launching the product in the market , GSK tested Foodles first in the South and East where Horlicks is strong. Here horlicks have also have good image so introducing foodles will make aware of its progress in the other market.
18. The brand name, Foodles seems to be an attempt to distance themselves from the regular noodles (read, Maggi) category. It has the ring of a 'new category'. And the positioning is on the lines of 'Noodles Plus'. The products including a 4-grain variant are aimed at cueing health. Interestingly, Maggi too went on this 'Taste bhi, Health bhi' platform recently. Interesting times ahead for the f(noodles) market.
19. Instant noodles were not usually considered healthy. It found that mothers felt need for something more nutritional than serving instant noodles of maida to children because maida is not as healthy as atta or wholegram wheat. As a result, mothers fortified the noodles with vegetables and eggs. This was a vital clue for GSK before it got started. “The fact that the category is so lopsided presents a bigger opportunity than usual to position oneself differently and get heard. Even though instant noodles right now have their centre of gravity in taste, we can afford to offer one with nutrition because we are good at understanding what makes for nutrition.
20. To drum in the fact that Foodles stands for nutrition, they are now working on a tactical insight from its test launch: It found the need to tag the packs with the respective flavours and ingredients more clearly. It has also ensured that it gives out clues of the noodles being tasty and healthy on the pack itself. “The key lies in increasing the visibility,”
21. GSK sure knows the market. To begin with, Foodles ,will talk to urban consumers, unlike Maggi which has gone rural and deep into urban markets with its small Rs-5 pack. “We were present with only single-pack sizes which account for 28-29 per cent of the market. The larger family packs of eight and four strips are being rolled out now. It is also priced at a premium, in line with the mid-premium image of its mother brand Horlicks. Its multigrain variant costs Rs 15 for 80 gm compared to Maggi’s Rs 10 for 80 gm.
25. Since a man who is always wearing casuals will not accept the change in him easily and start wearing formals..
26. Similarly people today have become brand loyal to maggi noodles and will not change their preference so easily.
27. But the fact that foodles have introduced themselves under the parent brand horlicks which have a good brand image in the market so people can experience it for the first time, and that’s the strategy what foodles are targeting for.
28. Maggi is no doubt a monopoly. Even now there are lots of trusted brand lovers,but horlicks foodles is a solution for both mother n her kid because its taste n multi grain combination fulfill their needs...its awesome just try it once...it already proved its effectiveness by capturing 5% market share in 6 month at south market n now creating buzz at west, north n east market.
30. So according to us we say that this product foodles will do well in the market but the growth of this product will be substantial as there is a good market of magi noodles and it will take a long period of time to create a good a brand image of this new product in the market., but continuous marketing and effective promotion plans will reduce the gap.
