31. This seemed to an important step where we had to choose either to
go for market development or product development. The interesting
fact was that walls has open outlets by name Magnum 2014.
Our Recommendation:
Considering this fact now we recommended Walls to Introduce new
range of Diet ice-creams.
Bring new range of stick ice-cream
Introduce new flavors
Paan flavor(sweat and strong for Gutka lovers)
Bounty
Mithaye Flavours
Create one more manufacturing unit.
