This document discusses rural marketing strategies in India. It notes that companies are expanding to rural markets due to saturated urban markets and rising incomes in rural areas. It identifies key aspects of rural marketing as the 4P's (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) and 4A's (Availability, Affordability, Acceptability, Awareness). Challenges include low literacy, lack of infrastructure, and cultural diversity. Suggestions include using local salespeople and media, demonstrations, and focusing on distribution and awareness campaigns. An example highlights Asian Paints' strategies like wall paintings and working with local leaders to expand in rural villages.
