The new campaigning:-

(2) Payment Reminder: - This campaign is focus on payment reminder, if you are supposed to migrate from one state to other state or made change in your mobile number, immediately provide to Tata Sky in order to give payment reminder call.

(3) Package Advisor: - Tata Sky is offering best package advisor service where consumers can enjoy well, satisfy with channel package, saving amount. They can also offering best package from your previous bill if you are existing consumers.

Strategy Execution:-  In every campaign, Tata sky has been used “women”, as companies are believing that women are most influencer in market, even though majority brand campaigns are being promoted by adopting women. The same thing done by Tata Sky as well as it has used women with the purpose of service & target market.

If you will analyze in 3 day grace period & Payment reminder service campaign, both women are looking young. And, it has also shown young married women in “Payment Reminder” campaign.

In Package Advisor campaign, it has shown 3 women who are playing different role, their different view & all 3 women are looking from different category (Age wise) like young & unmarried (22 to 28 age appx.), old age  & married (48 +age appx.) and married women (32 to 42 age appx.).

That old age woman is speaking about “Insurance company” that’s insurance company (Employees) taking any insurance by manipulation or without giving any proper advise. Even today’s people are feeling inconvenient about insurance sector as well as people are avoiding call from insurance company, too much negative perception in mind of people.

Being used the word insurance company by Tata Sky, it may give negative impact in mind of insurance company which also can be effect on Tata Sky brand. This campaign becomes much better without using word “insurance company”.

Overall, Tata Sky has introduced good services, but it will be much better when Tata Sky will get positive feedback & benefit from these services.

Let’s see how Tata Sky will maintain brand & consumer behavior…

Big Bazaar : Price Challenge

Few months back, a giant hyper –market retailing brand “Big Bazaar” (A part of Future Groups) has been celebrated its successful 10 years & also revamped its corporate identity by changing logo & tagline. Now, it is focusing on “Naye India Ka bazzar” as per modern trend or indian consumers scenario.

The core competency of “Big bazaar” is always focus on “Pricing Strategy with offering branded items” which is targeting to mass people & all class of consumers. Big Bazaar has made change the buying scenario from “Kirana/Provision Stores to Big BazaarMall’. Though, middle class or lower middle class consumers are preferring to buy from provision stroes. However, Big Bazzar has never give up its efforts to divert/churn more consumers from provision stroes to Mall.

This is the only strong brand which is offering “competitve price” by executing various strategy. Big Bazaar has already been built up good position in the consumers mind. Still, it has to need build up strong brand equity & brand loyalty towards consumers.

Recently, Big Bazaar has released advertising campaign which is focusing on promotinal pricing strategy. The campaign is already released a year ago but now again it is being run because the summer season is going on in India. So, Big Bazaar is trying to take good opportunity by providing “ROI”.

This campaign is endorsed by bollywood actress Vidya Balan & offering “Big Bazaar Price Challenge” where company will give you refund double money if you will get low quality for same brand from other place. The startegy execuion is about offering challenge with very much confidence where consumers are ready to buy or willingly go to buy products from Big Bazaar.

There are many others retail mall available in Indian market, but difficult to beat Big Bazaar. Before 3-4 years ago, Reliance Mart has been executed various startegy & also opened many malls in various states. But, it could not compete longer against Big Bazaar. Reliance has been execued different strategy that it came with category wise in Indian market like Relaince Fresh (For Vegetable n Fruits etc.), Reliance Jweles (For Jwellery), Reliance Footwear, Reliance Super mart etc.

Big Bazaar is executing right strategy on right time and this campaign is also being released on right time. Big Bazaar is focusing more on print media & Radio than TVC & it can be right startegy planning as per target consumers.
