4. Repsol - Case Study on the brand launch
What’s up,
mechanics?
ŸI suggest Castrol or Shell Helix as
these are easily available brands
ŸMost of my customers do not know
which oil is going in their 'gaadi'
ŸCustomers know Castrol
ŸMy customers go ahead with
whatever oil I recommend
ŸCastrol offers good incentives
and it is available
everywhere
ŸI trust what my mechanic suggests
ŸI prefer using Castrol in my vehicle
ŸMy Ride is my First Love,
I take care of it like my girl friend
ŸCastrol, Gulf, Elf
makes the vehicle smoother
ŸI prefer the one tried & trusted
by my garage

positioning that also bends towards technology

and is very well associated with MotoGP and other
Motorcycle Sports, Motorcycle Lubes
