WHY ATTA NOODLES WAS A FAILURE

28. • Indian Psyche : The basic problem the brand faced is Indian psyche. Indian palate is not
too adventurous in terms of trying new tastes. So a new product with a new taste that too
from a different culture will have difficulty in appealing to Indian market.
Failure Causes
WHY ATTA NOODLES WAS A FAILURE

29. • Price : the price of Atta noodle was little more than 2 minute noodle
• False claims: In oct. 2008, Nestle mistakenly aired an advertisement that noodle “help to
build strong muscles and bones”. The British advertising standards authority said that it was
a false claim.
• Not purely veg : Maggi Noodles also contains the additives E150d and E627. E627 is partly
prepared from fish and thus is not suitable for vegetarians. E150d is sometimes made from
genetically modified maize.
Failure Causes
WHY ATTA NOODLES WAS A FAILURE

30. • Lack of essential nutrients : The new Maggi Atta noodles as can be
seen from the fig. Lacked essential vitamins A, and C ,
also the fat content is more than carbohydrates.
• Targeted- health conscious people but Atta noodle did not appealed
them because of other substitute supplements in the market.
Failure Causes
WHY ATTA NOODLES WAS A FAILURE

31. • They should conduct test marketing before launching new product.
• Focus on creating distinctive image, based on twin benefits of “instant “ and “healthy”
• Conduct promotional campaigns at schools in small towns with population more than 10,000.
• Strengthen the distribution channel of the rural areas within 100 KM, of all the metros.
• Launch new advertisement campaign (TV, radio and print media commercials) with the brand
ambassador.
• Conduct market research to find out the market penetration of the product in the rural areas
covered.
