Maggi promotional strategy
Maggi noodles was first launched in India in 1983 by Nestle. Initial strategies to promote Maggi as a convenient option for working women did not boost sales. After conducting research, Nestle changed the tagline to "Fast to Cook, Good to Eat" and promoted free samples, gifts with empty packets. Maggi was later targeted at kids through sponsoring TV shows. It is now targeting the entire family. Recent campaigns celebrate 25 years of Maggi in India.
