Marketing MixProduct
The product is hokey pokey ice cream. The point of differentiation for this ice cream is its super premium quality which stands out over other economy and standard quality ice creams in India. The quality is primarily defined by the amount of air trapped in ice cream during production (overrun) and the fat range of that ice cream. The hokey pokey ice cream has an average fat level of 15-18 and overrun range of 25-40 % which gives it, its super premium focus ( (Advani & Shrivastava, 2015). Price
The pricing for this product will not be kept too high. In the Indian ice cream industry, pricing tends to be variable over a range of spectrum. At one end, there are unorganized and unbranded varieties selling at cheap prices due to their average quality and on the other end there are reputable chains like Baskin Robbins selling at 55 rupees on average. Place

Marketing MixProduct
The product is hokey pokey ice cream. The point of
differentiation for this ice cream is its super premium quality
which stands out over other economy and standard quality ice
creams in India. The quality is primarily defined by the amount
of air trapped in ice cream during production (overrun) and the
3. fat range of that ice cream. The hokey pokey ice cream has an
average fat level of 15-18 and overrun range of 25-40 % which
gives it, its super premium focus ( (Advani & Shrivastava,
2015). Price
The pricing for this product will not be kept too high. In the
Indian ice cream industry, pricing tends to be variable over a
range of spectrum. At one end, there are unorganized and
unbranded varieties selling at cheap prices due to their average
quality and on the other end there are reputable chains like
Baskin Robbins selling at 55 rupees on average. Place
India is a viable market place since the Indian food and
Beverage industry is a lucrative one. The industry revenues
amount to a staggering 4.66 trillion dollars out of which the ice
cream sector comprises of a huge chunk. The ice cream industry
enjoys revenues worth 22 billion dollars and is steadily rising
since 2001 at the rate of 12%. People
The primary target market for Hokey Pokey ice creams is the
middle class consumer. The demand is set to increase as India’s
middle class population is swiftly on the rise. Spending power
and incomes are also steadily rising for the middle class
consumer. Branding
The brand name will be based off the international brand
“Hokey Pokey” since it’s recognized globally for its high
quality ice creams (Pokey, 2016). The name also seems to suit
its product category which is based on ice creams and desserts.
The brand strategy will be based on communicating through
brand name and through the super-premium quality of the
product which will be its USP. This will deliver the message
that the brand is magically unique and presents itself in a
distinct way than what has been traditionally served in the
Indian market till now. This brand message will be
communicated to the Indian target consumer market. The brand
will be further strengthened through signs, symbols, music,
strong USP and ESP and through the establishment of
international chains throughout the country (Chamikutty, 2013).
Emotional attachment generates a lot of brand loyalty and
4. repeat purchase so the brand hopes to associate happiness and
likeable qualities with the brand. Bollywood stars will also be
used to endorse the brand in order to strengthen its viability and
credibility in the market since majority of the middle class is an
avid consumer of television movies and soap operas. Company
