11. EXPANSION TO FOREIGN
SHORES
 GCMMF had signed an agreement with Wal-Mart to stock its
shelves with products under its Amul brand name. Amul
processed cheese, pure ghee, Shrikhand, Nutramul, Amul's
Mithaee Gulab Jamuns are few of the products marketed in the
US markets.
 50 per cent of Americans being medically obese, and if Amul is
really looking to capture the hearts of the second- and third-
generation Indians, offering low-fat versions of its brands, would
make a lot of commercial sense.
 Hence targeting the large Indian community in the US markets
with its niche products like mithai, packaged ready to eat foods
market it can definitely expand its market to a large extent.

12. Defense Strategy
 Moving consumers from loose milk to
packaged milk and gradually move them up the
value chain (tetra pack to beverages)
 Being exposed to a brand, it is natural for a
customer to try more products

13. Segmentation
 Wide range of product categories caters to
consumers across all market segments.
For example, Amul Kool is targeted at
children, while teenagers prefer Kool
Café, as it has a cool imagery associated
with it.

14. Targeting

 Striking out on its own, with Amul Outlets or
parlours to deliver consumers total brand
experience
 Launched in 2002, there are now over 4700
Amul parlours across the country, which
contributed 3% to the brand’s total turnover in
year 2009.

15. Promotion
 Given this wide product portfolio, Amul’s
approach is to promote its brands in a rotational
cycle of two to three years.
 After ice-creams were launched in 1996, the
category was re-visited in 1999, in order to
improve availability of the product and make it
affordable.
 The focus shifted to cheese in 2001, Amul Masti
Chaas in 2004-05 (sales of Masti dahi grew by
