8. INTRODUCTION
FMCG
FMCG refers to Fast Moving Consumer Goods, requirement for daily or frequent use.
Typically, a consumer buys these goods at least once a month.
The sector covers a wide gamut of products such as detergents, toilet soaps, toothpastes
shampoos, creams, powders, food products, confectioneries, beverages, cigarettes.
Typical characteristics of FMCG products.
Individual items are of small value. But all FMCG products put together account for a
significant part of the consumer’s budget.
The consumer keeps limited inventory of these products and prefers to purchase them
frequently, as and when required. Many of these products are perishable.
The consumer spends little time on the purchase decision. Rarely does he/she look for
technical specification (in contrast to industrial goods). Brand loyalties or recommendations
of reliable retailer/dealer drive purchase decisions.
8
9. Trail of a new products i.e. brand switching is often induced by heavy advertisement,
recommendation of the retailer or neighbours/friends.
These products cater to necessities, comforts as well as luxuries. They meet the demands of
the entire cross section of population. Price and income elasticity of demand varies across
products and consumers.

11. HUL - BRIEF HISTORY
The company was incorporated on 17th October, 1933 under the name of Lever
Brothers (India) Pvt. Ltd. (LBIL). It set up its manufacturing units in Bombay and
Calcutta an associated company viz., Hindustan Vanaspati Mfg. Co. Pvt. Ltd. (HVM),
was earlier incorporated on 27th November 1931 which set up a vanaspati factory in
Bombay. Both LBILK and HVM were wholly owned subsidiaries of Unilever Ltd.,
London, U.K. HVM later acquired three more vanaspati factories at Shamnagar
(West Bengal), Tirchirapalli (Tamil Nadu) and Ghaziabad (U.P) In order to market the
toilet preparations manufactured by LBIL or imported from Unilever companies, a
marketing company under the name United Traders Pvt. Ltd. (UTL) was incorporated
on 11th may, 1935 as a wholly owned subsidiary of LBIL. In 1944, the management
of LBIL and HVM was integrated. In November 1956, HVM and two small associated
companies viz. William Gossage & Sons (India) Pvt. Ltd and Joseph Crossfield &
Sons (India) Pvt. Ltd., which were wholly owned subsidiaries of Unilever Ltd., were
amalgamated with LBIL and the name was changed to Hindustan Lever Ltd. From
23rd October, 1956 activities of UTL were taken over by its holding Company LBIL.
With the amalgamation of business under one company, Indian capital was
introduced in this integrated business in 1956. HUL has been growing very rapidly,
especially in 1996 the growth was 88.6% HUL became the second private company
in India after Reliance Industries to cross the Rs 10000 crore mark in 1998. At
present it’s valued at Rs. 11764.31 crore. 1 Its rapid growth has given HUL place in
the top 5companies regularly in annual BT-500 survey. This huge success has come
due to:-
11
12. Merger with Ponds India Limited
Launch of 40 new products
Doubling of rural distribution network from 50,000 to one lakh villages
n present situation to address the "The soprano problem", advertisers resort to
shadow advertisement where the products become endemic to the setting of the
show. Where the products are shown being consumed or brand name is exhibited in
the background.
In India, the first shadow advertisement was used in movie "Bobby" where
motorcycle "Rajdoot" was advertised. Recently, there was shadow advertisement of
Coca-Cola in Hindi blockbuster "Kaho Na pyar hai". But the problem with shadow
advertisement is that positioning message of the product can't be conveyed to
consumers. Hence, the concept of shadow advertisement can be extended further
so that the theme of the advertising would become endemic to entertaining show.
This would be no more exclusive advertising. Rather, advertising will be a part of the
entertainment. But this has to be done in a delicate manner so that the information
about the product is passed on to the viewers without disturbing the entertaining
element of the show. If this succeeds, that would be a great break-through for
advertisement.

60. PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION
Product differentiation is apart of marketing tools so it is very common in FMCG sector also.
Differentiation means variation of product by means of form, feature, style and many more.
The product differentiation which occur in soap industries are as follows:
• FORM: Some soap are oval some are rectangular and some are almond
shape some also have the shape of animals, some found in 75 gms, and some are 125
gms and are found 150 gms.
• FEATURE: Some soaps are herbal, some are non alkaline and alkaline.
• PERFORMANCE: Some soap melt less in water and some melt quickly.
• PACKAGING: Little soap is wrapped in paper pack and little soap is
found in visible plastic pack.

61. ADVERTISEMENT EXPENDITURE
Advertisement plays a vital role in marketing of products. Few years’ back the ratio between
advertisement and sales promotion was 70:30 but this ratio changed dramatically. Now the
ratio between advertisement and sales is 40:60. It is believed that sales promotion is effective
if it is backed by advertisement. All the manufacturer of FMCG product spent huge money
in advertisement.
Advertisement Expenditure of HUL
Advertising spends increased by 5 percent in CY 2004 unlike popular market perception that
HUL had cut back ad spend. However, the company is now focusing attention on
rationalizing its brand portfolio from 110 to 30.

advertisement and promotion.
Colgate – Palmolive, Nirma, HENKEL-Spic Ltd., VVF Limited, the other player in Indian
soap market are not behind too much in spending for advertisement and promotion.

63. FINDINGS OF STUDIES
After the research of my study I found that
• Lower class people use Nirma & Lifebuoy because it cost price is very less and they
can afford to buy it.
• Middle class people uses Lux, Cinthol & Liril because these are economical soaps.
• Upper class people use Camay, Pears & Dove these soaps tell of high society.
• Most people like HUL products because it has got varieties of products.
• Lux & Breeze are favorites of women.
• Johnson & Johnson have targeted the children and they have achieved it.
• People say that price of Dove & Pears should be economical to all categories.
• People demands for Nirma soaps mostly because it is economical.
63
64. SUGGESTION AND RECOMMENDATION
On the basis of my studies I want to suggest that P&G has to make out the more products
varieties according with different product segmentations same as the HUL did to grasp the
market shares.
Because any company stands in the competitive market should have lot of varieties of
products to overtake the entire market. The P&G has to check out there pricing strategy
because the price of the HUL is much lesser than P&G and other companies.
The sales and promotional activities of HUL is very effective than other competitive
companies. The HUL invest more money on advertisement and it also emphasize on the
dealer network distribution with the help of there talented marketing executives.
Therefore, I suggest to other related companies that they should emphasis on there sales and
promotional activities and should make there proper marketing strategy.
Last but not least the channel of distribution, packaging, segmentation and moreover only
after the proper marketing research they should launch their new products in the market to
grasp the entire market and increase their market shares.

65. CONCLUSION
Heat and dust are integral part of Indian climate. This makes Indian as one of the ideal
market for soaps and other cleaning products. As we know that the consumer keeps limited
inventory of soap products and prefers to purchase them frequently, as and when required.
Many of these products are perishable. The penetration of bathing soaps is 98% of all
households. The research study shows that the per capita consumption of bathing soap is
513gm. So there is a very big market for soap in India. The total turnover of soap or market
in India is 54 lakhs tone per annum and is increasing at the rate of 5% per annum. In which
HUL is the market leader with 59% of share followed by godrej. Other major players are
Nirma Ltd., Colgate-Palmolive Ltd., Henkel-Spic India Ltd. The soap market is not only
segmented on the basis of price and benefits but even a range of emotions within that
outlining frame work.
Therefore according to research done on the soap industries I have reached to the following
conclusions-
• The frequent used soap was Lux (28%) then Nirma (14% the second position.
• The appealing factors are soaps were price which was followed by size then the
medicinal qualities and so on.
• The person ‘self’ was having the highest percent in decision making for buying soaps.
• 58% were male respondents and 42% were female.
• The age group of the respondents was highest between 20 – 30 years in the sample
design.
