35. What more can Amul do?
To improve further Amul can try out the following
ideas:
I) Amul can venture out on new products like Toned
milk, Condensed milk that can be used for sweets,
Baby food products,
II) There are certain product like Amul basundi, gulab
jamoon, choclates etc which are not as popular as
Amul ice cream. Amul must try to understand the
cause of this through thorough market research and
work on improving these products
III) Though Amul’s hoardings are a huge success, it
can penetrate even better in the rural areas by
advertising through the media viz cable channels and
newspapers. Sponsoring shows in TV, sports events
can be of great help.
