Every radio station has its own uniqueness or competency and to stay in market they are launching various service. Radio are playing with three players.

"No.1" Branding Strategy

Before 5 years ago, In branding strategy, there was much use about the word "No.1" and people were also giving an importance to those brands. Company was promote their brand like "No.1 brand" and consumers were giving more trust on those No.1 brand. The effectiveness of those brand and its position was also high, nobody could able to beat those brands.

However now a days, company are using the word "No.1" in too much QUANTITY. But company are not measuring the response related No.1 effect. Not only big brand but also small as well as local brand are also using No.1.

Let's see some example of Brand :- No.1 Ranjit smart,+ No.1 Pan bahar, + No. 1 emami fair & handsome, + No.1 godrej soap. + No.1 Colgate, + No. 1 Jivraj tea, + Amul No.1, No.1 Haywords soda, + No.1 Mc dowels, + No.1 Mc donald, + No.1 sikkim manipal university, + No.1 Harpic, + No.1 Olay,+ No.1 Meggi, + No.1 LIC, + No.1 Zandu balm, + + + + + all above are brand wise, you can include many more..........
Even though there are too much fights between News channel (English & Hindi), GEC, Sports, Print media (English or hindi news paper, Magazine), Radio station like No.1 news channel (IBN 7, Aaj tak, India TV, Cnn IBN, CNBC etc.), No.1 GEC (Star plus, Colors, Zee tv etc.), No.1 Daily news paper (Dainik bhaskar, TOI, The telegraph, Gujarat samachar, Anand bazar patrika, Sakal , Lokmat etc.), No.1 Radio station (Radio mirchi, my fm, radio city, radio one, fever fm, big 92.7 fm, Red fm 93.5 etc). All above mentione are shown their weekly graph in various busniess website, news paper etc, 
My question is only that, are they getting good response by showing No.1 graph. I agreed with that graph should definitely shown for industry or client. But, People (Rural & Urban) are very much aware about each and every brand and its quality. So that no need to show the word "No.1". And it will not give much effect as compared to 5 years ago, because highly competitive market is increase day by day.

Conclusion is that Only Quality Brand will give you No.1 itself. "FEEL LIKE NO.1"

1 brEaK (Viewers) and many many STAR (Star gold Channel)

We are know very well that how is important the "BREAK" in TVC for viewers and advertisiers.Every week channel (category wise) measured by TAM that we know.But, in conclusion at present scenario GEC category and Hindi -English news channel category are in top and very high competition between them. Each cetegory are giving at least 2 -3 minutes break and too rush advertisement in that break.

So, recently Star Gold channel (Star group of companies) has launced new concept of 1 break and enjoy the movie continue.This is entertainment and film category but the concept is good. Because time is changing every day, the rush of advertisers on TVC also increase their rush every day. People really feel clutter due to the break or advertisement , switch over to other channel, do their work untill the break is not finished, break is coming on the fun time etc. many reasons are there. So, to avoid this bad mood , star gold has launched this concept. Only this channel has implement some new concept.

Right now, channel are finding more ways to promote the advertisers product (Client & Ad agency ) like L-shoulder, scroll, moving logo,  etc. (Each type of this ad's are 10 sec.). Best example of many news chahnel, sports channel (esp. for cricket), you can see high branding. Also in IPL season , when 10 minutes breask ad (few seconds are remain..... people count that sec.).

Within the few times, other channels will also follow this breaking concept by different different way. Same like star gold channel, the radio station 95. FM has also launched innovative concept before 1.5 year that "13 songs (Maximum song) in 1 hour." If channel will thinking bothside viewrs as well as advertisers,
they will get leading position from competitive market. Advertisement is also need to create awareness, new product, scheme, etc. in market. But, the important is to make and implementation of strategy from bothside.

So, enjoy the entertainment..... we will meet same palce.. (?) time after  1 BREAk.................
