Rural marketing involves developing, pricing, promoting, and distributing rural-specific products and services to facilitate exchanges between rural and urban markets that satisfy consumer demand and organizational objectives. For Bisleri, this includes small unit packaging, branding, competitive pricing ranging from Rs. 8, and establishing a distribution network through hubs and spokes to retailers in rural areas using methods like local language advertising, wall paintings, and promotions at fairs and weddings. The goal is to make Bisleri's mineral water widely available and raise awareness of its benefits in rural India.
