The major volume growth for branded ice-cream players will come from the take-home-segment
rather than consumption at ice-cream boutiques and parlours. This is the key inference of a survey
conducted by Retail Research India (RRI). The survey attributes this shift in consumer priority to the
fact that ice-cream eating is becoming more of a weekend pastime for families rather than a leisure
activity during outstation trips or picnics.
The consumer perception audit reveals that branded ice-creams as a product category is now being
perceived as a product for the family rather than just as an indulgence during outing exercises
In terms of leveraging brand presence, the branded ice-cream players need to focus more on
innovative retail initiatives like point-of-sale merchandising and danglers to attract consumer
attention. The retail initiatives need to be given priority in comparison to the usual brand promotion
exercise that is carried out in the mass-media.
The ice-cream players have to confront secondary competition in the form of branded chocolates
and biscuits. Along with that they also face competition from unbranded ice-cream players who
operate on mobile cart wheels.It is believed that as a strategy to combat competition from products
across the impulse segment, the need is to have innovative modes of merchandising that can
enhance the display value for ice-cream brands.
Consumers from the impulse market make a consumption choice on the basis of the instant
attention that brands can grab by their innovative display.Further, with clutter in the mass media,
such initiatives at the shop floor level can play the dual role of initiating brand awareness as well as
triggering consumption for the brand.
Chapter: Introduction
With secondary competitors from the branded players segment undertaking mega retail exercises,
branded ice-cream players will start witnessing consumer lapse if they are unable to consolidate
their retail presence
2
5. Baskin Robbins - A Brand Analysis September 2009
Also, in terms of leveraging the brand through ice-cream parlours and vending machines, there is the
need to communicate the propositions through neon posters and vinyl signage, especially at specific
consumer eating spots. It is believed that some of the players may use such communication
exercises outside the parlours. But the need is to strategically evaluate consumer congregation
points.
The retail material should communicate the brand proposition through these materials at
strategically evaluated points since it can capture the consumers’ eye more than the usual exteriors
of retail shops and ice-cream outlets.Even in these avenues there are a host of other products that
are jostling for consumer attention. Hence, the need is to move away from these crowded venues in
parlours and retail shelves and specifically communicate the brand proposition in the spots where
there is less fragmentation yet a lot of consumer activity.
That's why, like Kwality Wall's, Amul too wants to take its frozen and ambient platter on the road
through push carts and smaller outlets. It plans to supply freezers to bakeries and chemists to mom-
and-pop shops and even STD booths. Even HLL has been trying hard to create excitement around its
brands. Its Kwality Wall's Max, for children, was relaunched with offerings, like Rainbow and Twister,
supported by a new look Max lion.
1.2.2 New Segments
Between kids and youth on the streets and adults at home, a large chunk of ice cream sales gets
taken care of. Impulse purchase from youth and kids accounts for 50 per cent of the market. Family
consumption adds another 35 per cent. Fifteen per cent of the market is in-parlour sale — a new
segment that has showed up in the last few years. This is dominated by niche regional players like
Naturals in the West, Nirula’s in the North and premium players like Baskin Robbins and the home
grown Italiano Gelato.
1.2.3 MNC in India:
The reason that the MNCs indicate for their presence in India is “It has the right climate for ice-
cream consumption; the country has a very low per capita consumption, which means large
untapped potential; and our ability to maintain competitive pricing - all these reasons make us want
to be in India.
But MNC weren’t successful in India mainly due to the pricing pressure and margin squeeze. Despite
Chapter: Introduction
being a hot country with a young population, India has never made ice-cream culture its own, unlike
in the West.

1.2.4 Infrastructure worries:
There are genuine problems, too. Since the demand for ice cream is seasonal, and it also requires
specific infrastructure. Any retailer with a tub full of ice can sell soft drinks, but for ice cream he has
to have proper refrigeration. For that, one requires proper power supply, which is erratic in India
Transporting ice cream across India requires massive infrastructure, because of which “supplies over
long distances are irregular”.
1.2.5 Consumption Pattern:
The market for ice-creams in India was estimated at US$265 million in 2006–07, growing at the rate
of 12–14 per cent. However, the per capita consumption of ice-cream in India is relatively low, when
compared to developed countries. Per capita consumption of ice-cream is around 250 mL per annum
as against 22 litres in the US, 18 litres in Australia, 14 litres in Sweden and 5 litres in the UK.The per
capita consumption of ice-creams in India is a paltry 250 ml per annum while the average global
consumption is 2 litres.
1.2.6 Ice Cream Flavours:
Indian Ice Cream market can be segmented in three different ways, namely on the basis of flavours;
on the basis of stock keeping units / packaging and on the basis of consumer segments. On the basis
of flavours the market today has a number of flavours like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, mango,
Chapter: Introduction
butterscotch a number of fruit flavours; dry fruit flavours traditional flavours like Kesar- Pista, Kaju-
Draksh etc. The market is totally dominated by Vanilla, Strawberry and chocolate, which together
account for more than 70% of the market followed by butterscotch and other fruit flavours.

1.2.7 Distribution channel:
Ice cream distribution in India typically involves a distributor, wholesaler and retailer. Most domestic
brands have small regional operations, with plants situated near their major markets due to the lack
of cost-effective cold chain facilities. National brands have owned or leased cold storage facilities in
major metropolitan areas, which ship to distributors or direct to retailers. Some major brands have
begun serving smaller cities by acquiring smaller plants and improving distribution networks.
Distributors' margins are about 18-20%.
There are an estimated 70,000 retail ice cream outlets in India, including both fixed shops and
mobile vendors -- pushcarts, tricycles and three-wheelers.

2 Competitor Analysis
2.1 Competitors:
On a telephonic conversation, the Zonal Manager-South of Baskin Robbins, Mr. Muthukumar told us
that Baskin Robbins doesn’t have any direct competition as they are a premium player. He also told
us that theirs is not a volume based business. But he also accepted the fact that there is indirect
competition from domestic brands and other local parlours. Let us have a look at the competition in
India for Baskin Robbins.
Hindustan Unilever, which is owned 51 per cent by Unilever, has a 14 per cent share of the 100-
million litres and Rs 1,200-crore per annum ice cream market, which makes it the second largest
player after Amul (38 per cent market share). The gap is no less than 24 percentage points.
Chart: Market Share of Ice Cream Brands in India
Market leader Amul has a huge emotional connection with Indian consumers as it was the nerve
centre of the White Revolution in India. Its ice cream is available in no less than 70,000 stores across
the country — a number it plans to raise to 100,000 in the next one year. Its growth target for the
year is 20 per cent. (The market has grown at 15 per cent per annum in the last five years.)
Vadilal, the third largest player in the ice cream market with a share of 12 per cent and a strong
player in western India (Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat), has drawn up aggressive growth plans
Chapter: Competitor Analysis
Mother Dairy (market share: eight per cent) has fanned out from its stronghold of North India to the
eastern and western parts of the country in the last few years. Its strength is the 4,000 pushcarts out
on the streets of the country at all times. As a large category of consumers buy ice cream on
impulse, this fleet has helped Mother Dairy grow 35 per cent this summer. Mother Dairy, by the
6
9. Baskin Robbins - A Brand Analysis September 2009
way, has developed a strong portfolio of local flavours which could work well in the upcountry
markets.
2.2 Competition in Parlours:
With the advent of modern trade, Baskin Robbins now covers 500 modern retail stores along with its
retail foot print of 370 outlets. Baskin Robbins will add 100 retail outlets during the year and also
grow our modern trade footprint. Modern Trade now contributes to 15 per cent of their overall
revenues and they see this growing to 20 per cent in the next couple of years. Baskin Robbins has
established its leadership in the premium ice cream category in the modern trade channel.
But competition is in no mood to give up without a fight. Amul too entered the segment this year
with its Scooping parlours where it serves sundaes, thick shakes and an exclusive range of ice cream.
It plans to have 1,000 franchises by the end of the financial year, up from the current 250, and
thereon add 1,000 every year for the next five years and expects retail to contribute to 20 per cent
of Amul’s ice cream revenue in the next three to five years.
2.3 Changing Times:
Across the world, consumers have turned health-conscious. They want to cut down calorie intake
because of the alarming spread of lifestyle ailments. And India is no different — it has the largest
population of diabetics anywhere in the world. Consumers have begun to look for health and
goodness in whatever they consume and ice cream is no exception. Baskin Robbins offers 100%
Vegetarian ice creams and it also offers low fat ice creams too.
Here, the lead has been taken by Amul. It has developed a portfolio on the health and wellness
platform with its probiotic and sugar-free category last year. Its sugar-free probiotic Frozen Food
contains 50 per cent less fat and half the calories than normal ice cream. “We expect this category to
account for ten per cent of the ice cream market in the next three years,” says Sodhi.
Hindustan Unilever too has got in to the act this year with the launch of its Selection range which
comes with just 99 calories in 80 ml. This, in fact, is a segment where the company can draw on the
Chapter: Competitor Analysis
expertise of its parent, Unilever. With growing health consciousness, Heartbrand is developing
products that are lower in fat, sugar-free, lactose-free, as well as low-carb options and those with
more nutritional goodies like calcium and fruit. It has come out with new pack sizes which allow
lower consumption. About 40 per cent of the research budget goes to enhance properties of health
and wellness. Clearly, there is nothing better than a well-stocked parent.

3 Customer Analysis
Baskin Robbins is one of the premium ice cream brands in the world. Its differentiating strategy from
other ice cream brands or their brand identity is providing customers with 31 different varieties of
flavour and its premium quality. But how the customers perceive the brand is different and was
evaluated by an interview process. Around Thirty customers were interviewed who had already
experienced or come across the brand. Also two US customers were included in these twenty
customers. We went for an interview process because we found that many had only an aided
recollection of the brand when asked about it.
The questions asked during the interview are
a) How often do you have ice cream in a month?
b) How do you experience having ice cream in Baskin Robbins store?
c) In your opinion what attribute is differentiating Baskin Robbins from other ice cream
brands?
d) Did you ever come across the brand name in some promotions or ads or any other
communication medium?
e) What will come to your mind immediately if you hear the name Baskin Robbins?
Some of the inferences and key opinions extracted from this process are:
Most of the customers want ice cream parlour or store to be a better hang out place. They would
like to have ice creams with different flavours during chat with their colleagues or girl friends and
spend some time in a high end sophisticated premium parlours. They consider tasting a variety of ice
creams as a great experience.
The key insight derived from probing the customers is,
“I want to taste unique treats in a premium ambience”
Baskin Robbins’ proposition fits into this customer insight. But after the analysis we found that, they
provide premium offerings with different world class flavours but not the experience. Customers
who go there for repeat purchase is due to the addiction to the flavour taste. But, in providing
experience of having ice cream in their parlour is really pathetic. Most of the customers don’t value
Chapter: Customer Analysis
the store as a premium store which Baskin Robbins claims.
Some of the attributes which customers think of Baskin Robbins are premium, young, feminine (an
influence from Pink colours they project), soft, tender and different flavours. Customers would like
to take young colleagues or girlfriends who are very peppy to this ice cream store. Even though this
brand lives for more than sixty years, they maintain youthfulness in the brand which is amazing. The
8
11. Baskin Robbins - A Brand Analysis September 2009
essence which customers expect from the brand is that “different premium offerings daily”.
Customers want to show or communicate to the world that they are different and premium.
Communication happens when the customer meets the brand. It came out that there is not frequent
communication in the form of TV ads or print ads or any other promotions. It’s mostly by word of
mouth and the purchasing point /store where the customers come across this brand. Before coming
to the store customers make up their mind to try different taste daily and hang out in the store
which is premium. They communicate that they are different but store is lacking a premium
ambience. This goes in a negative way of communication to the customer. Most of the store is
located in high class residential area. Customers think Baskin Robbins did not leverage in terms of
store ambience as most of the stores are so cramped and do not have a place to sit and have the ice
cream. This is a sort of negative communication, which should be immediately addressed since other
ice cream brands have started eyeing the modern retail format.

4 Communication Strategy
Baskin Robbins is a youthful, dynamic brand and they are open to good ideas. If there's a property or
event or opportunity that has the potential to capture the fancy of today's generation they are ready to
advertise/sponsor. The outlets sport a funky and vibrant look to attract young people.
In India, apart from the sales of ice creams, Baskin Robbins enjoys great patronage among high end
institutional clients ranging from the best five-star hotels in the country, to the premier airlines, high
end retailers, corporate parks and campuses, cruise companies, the best restaurants and clubs, and
of late, all the multiplexes, which is fast becoming a separate business channel in this country.
Around 35% of their sales are from institutional sales. In the coming years, the brand plans to
aggressively penetrate into the smaller towns apart from consolidating its present market in the
major cities and metros.
4.1 Promotions:
4.1.1 The Spiderman 3 campaign:
The summer of 2007 witnessed an innovative tie-up of Baskin Robbins with
Spiderman 3 movie in India. Baskin Robbins promoted Spiderman 3 by means
of a creative promotion. This not only added visibility but also enhanced
customer interactivity with the brand. The highlight of the promotion was the co-branded TVC which
was aired on key kids’ channels. The promotion extended to creating three new trendy flavours
keeping in tune with the characters of the movie- Web Slinger, Sand Storm, and Green Gobbler. The
elements of the promotion included poster, standee, cup design, bags, t-shirts, tags, shelf talker and
a Spiderman 3 comic free with every single scoop of ice cream.
4.1.2 The Paanchvi Pass campaign:
Baskin Robbins successfully captured the attention of the kids by entering into
a tie-up with ‘Paanchvi Pass’, a popular reality show telecast in 2008 by Star
Plus and hosted by Shahrukh Khan. A special Paanchvi Pass flavour was created
Chapter: Communication Strategy
to make it appealing to the customers and add excitement to the entire campaign. A gift was
assured to any customer who walked into the store and purchased a Panchvi Paas flavour and 3
lucky draw winners got a chance to meet the biggest Bollywood star, Shahrukh Khan. The promotion
helped Star Plus take its message to niche audience across the country. The activity provided
tremendous on ground visibility for Star Plus and Baskin Robbins in terms of wall visuals, tent cards,
10
13. Baskin Robbins - A Brand Analysis September 2009
danglers, posters, t-shirts, cups, shelf talkers and a quiz book. Besides, it got good publicity and
generated enthusiasm among the kids.
4.1.3 The Drona campaign:
Baskin Robbins has become an attractive partner for Production Houses to
promote movies better among its target audience-the youth. This is done by
means of appealing visuals and colorful displays like banners, posters, standees
etc. Drona, a magical adventure movie based on the warrior ‘Drona’ tied up with Baskin Robbins to
promote the movie among the teenagers. Visual displays for the promotion of the movie using
Baskin Robbins as a brand included posters, standees, bags, shelf-talker, drop box and banner.
Cappuccino Nibs was named the Drona flavour, also known as the flavour of magic to get the touch
and feel of the movie. The Drona promotion gives kids across the country a chance to meet Abhishek
Bachchan through a lucky draw.
4.1.4 MTV Roadies 6.0:
MTV Roadies -a cult following among youth has now associated with Baskin
Robbins for promotion of the programme and for the integration of the brand
with its content. The promotion makes a lot of sense for both the brands
because the target audience of Roadies is synonyms with the target audience for Baskin Robbins.
The audition promotion was done in selected cities in India where the Roadies audition was carried
out-Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkatta, Ahemdabad, Chandigarh. JTQ-‘Jump the Queue’ passes
were given to those lucky draw winners who purchased Baskin Robbins ice cream worth Rs. 250/-.
Promotion was done through posters, banners, standees and the JTQ passes. Interactive games
during the auditions were incorporated which included wild games centered on ice cream.
4.1.5 The Love Story 2050 campaign:
The movie was unique in the sense that for the first time introduced the time
machine concept in the Indian film industry and therefore, there was a big hype
around the movie. Baskin Robbins built on this hype and therefore associated
Chapter: Communication Strategy
itself with Love Story 2050. The publicity for the movie was done using posters, standees, banners
and shelf talkers. The flavour was called the 2050 Flavour with a tagline-The taste of the future is
here. The promotion offered a chance to the lucky draw winners to meet the debutant actor
Harmen Baweja and Priyanka Chopra and a chance to win a Boo (a character from the movie) with
every 2050 flavour.

4.1.6 Other Promos:
Baskin Robbins National level Junior Cricket 7s tournament
‘Yo Yo Masters Road Show’ for Delhi’s children and adults, organised by Cartoon Network
Enterprises, was held in Baskin Robbins store in Connaught Place, Delhi on July 2007.
Sponsored lucky coupons for ‘Monsoon Masti’ festival organized by Rajiv Gandhi
International Airport Limited, Hyderabad held on July 2009.
Distributed free passes for “Amaze 2008”, B-School fest, organised by the Indian Institute of
Planning and Management (IIPM) in Bangalore.
Sold tickets for Rock Concert Rock ’n India, designed along the lines of international rock
festivals, held in Bangalore in March 2008.
Recently in March 2009, Pizza Hut & Baskin Robbins launched an offer that provides Pizza
Hut patrons an opportunity to sample a range of Baskin Robbins ice creams, on placing pizza
delivery orders.
4.2 Change in Communication Strategy:
The events/movies sponsored by Baskin Robbins have been not so effective in creating visibility for
the brand. This is because the brand seems to get lost in the array of other brands sponsoring the
events. Say, in launch of Spiderman 3, Baskin Robbins was one among 9 brands to sponsor. Also
when sponsoring MTV Roadies, we felt that the brand doesn’t communicate its value properly.
Because Roadies is an adventure reality show which depicts a tough person which is opposite to that
of Baskin Robbins’ core identity of fun and soft, tender nature conveyed by the brand as such.
From our interviews we found that around 21 people had only an aided recollection of the brand. All
these interviewees would rightly fit into the target segment of Baskin Robbins. Also we inferred that,
almost invariably all our interviewees never had any other interaction with the brand, apart from the
stores. So the brand has to enhance its visibility through strategic advertising and promotions where
it could reach its target segment better, frequently. Interesting thing that came up was that Baskin
Robbins has strong customer retention but new customer acquisition is not much. Only word-of-
Chapter: Communication Strategy
mouth publicity has made the brand growing at least in the southern parts of India. Also we would
want the brand to communicate its premium status in all its touch points with the customer.
Please have a look at the following photograph of a bill given at a Baskin Robbins kiosk in Forum
mall, Bangalore. The bill is handwritten and is not even a printed one. As a customer of a premium
brand we would really feel bad when such an experience occurs. Though this might seem irrelevant
on a side, we have to acknowledge a fact that the customer goes for a premium brand with some
expectations. It is these small things like these which give the customer the brand’s identity.

5 Brand Baskin Robbins
From the customer analysis, communication strategy and the telephonic conversation had with the
Zonal manager-South of Baskin Robbins we conclude with the following.
5.1 Brand Strategy:
Trends: Few trends that favour the brand strategy in India are:
Increasing disposable income of young Indians
Increasing health consciousness of Indians(Low fat ice creams, vegetarian ice creams)
Customer Motivations: The customer motivations that could support the growth of the brand are,
Flavours unique to Baskin Robbins
I want to be seen as a premium consumer
I need variety in my life
5.2 Brand Positioning:
“Taste different flavours everyday”-Baskin 31 Robbins
The younger generation in India now seek variety in their fast paced lives. They want to try
something new every day. Positioning Baskin Robbins in the minds of such consumers would be easy
and effective for the brand. We suggest to have a bridged positioning of,
Baskin Robbins means TREAT
5.3 Brand Personality:
Product Related Characteristics: Soft/Tender
User imagery: Fun loving youth & children
Sponsorships: Events that attract today’s generation youth & children
Age: 60 years & still YOUNG!!!!!
Symbol: Baskin Robbins logoRich & Inviting
5.4 Brand Identity:

14
17. Baskin Robbins - A Brand Analysis September 2009
5.5 Value Proposition:
“Where the Fun is Unending & Flavour is King”
The value proposition is strongly supported by the offerings from Baskin Robbins. Just there needs to
be an improvement in Store ambience to provide that “Fun” element.
5.6 Brand Logo Evolution:
The brand logo has evolved over the years without losing out its core identity of the “Original 31
flavours”.

6 Conclusion
Baskin Robbins is doing well with excellent quality offerings. All that has to be changed is the
communication strategy.Baskin Robbins has to create more touch-points for the prospective
customers to interact with the brand. But caution has to be taken that the premium brand doesn’t
get depicted as a mass market brand. Selective advertisements in premium magazines, lifestyle
television channels, malls, airports etc would do well. The brand can position itself as a premium
alternative to other mass market brands like Kwality Walls, Vadilal, Amul etc. Also more visibility can
be created by maintaining premium ice cream parlours with excellent ambience that would generate
Word-of-Mouth, the most powerful form of positioning the brand.
