Rural marketing refers to marketing activities where at least one participant is from a rural area. It involves marketing inputs to rural areas as well as marketing outputs from rural markets elsewhere. Rural markets in India are still evolving and pose various challenges including large, scattered populations with low literacy and seasonal, transportation and communication issues. However, improving socioeconomic factors, infrastructure, and incomes are increasing opportunities for business in rural India. Effective rural marketing requires strategies tailored for product pricing, distribution, packaging, and promotion to rural consumers.
