What an Idea Sirji......

What an Idea Sirji? A very well known and already built up stong brand image in the mind of consumers. Very catchy and funny punchline. Even though 8-10 year old child can able to identify brand Idea (Idea Cellular:- Aditya Birla Group) from punchline “What an Idea Sirji”. As well as the words like “No idea” then Get Idea “ also well known that automatically recall the brand Idea.

Ideaalways coming with creaive branding campaign which is endorsing by Bollywood Star Mr. Abhishek Bachchan. Though, Idea could not achieve good market sahre yet as compared to Vodafone & Airtel . Brand Idea is followed by Vodafone & Airtel, however Idea is continuing its efforts in order to reach maximum consumers.

Since 3G seriv e intorduced in Indian market, Idea is being continued with 3G serivce campign. It has already been intorduced various 3G serivces campaign in India which is being endorsed by Mr. Abhishek Bachchan. On otherside, Voddafone, Airtel, Reliance have also been intorduced 3G serice campgininnitially. But, now only Idea is standing on 3G serivce stage whereas other rivals are focusing on different serivce.

Reecently a week ago, Idea has intorduced two new apps on 3G phone (1) Google Goggle apps and (2)Mosquito Repellent apps

(1) Google Goggle Definition:- A visual search application for Androids and iPhones from Google that identifies objects by taking their pictures. Artworks and books are matched by their images, while stores, buildings and landmarks are identified by their image combined with the GPS and compass coordinates captured by the phone.

To know practically log on :-  http://www.google.com/mobile/goggles/#landmark

Ultimately, your 3G phone will find any address or details through “Image” which is taken by phone or availabe in phone.

Campaign Brief:- Mr. Abhishek is entering in heaven and meanwhile security man asking “Who are you”? and Mr. Abhishek Bachchan is introducing himself by taking photo and search in phone,and  searching result come whereas it has written “Sirji”. Promptly that security is identifying  Mr. Abhishek Bachchan.  And, at the end security man also asking that what are the other things come?.

So, overall campaiging execution startegy and concept is really nice. However, due to short time perios, it feels little lack in understanding the service Google Goggle apps where Abhishek is taking his photo and showing search result, so that moment is little fast or not understaning quickly.

But, overall the branding campaign and strategy is really nice. Idea has an good opportunity because yet no any other rivals has come up with such apps. If rivals (Airtel, Vodafone or Reliance) are offering then, It may chance toget lack of awareness. And,People will believe that only Idea is offering such service, other service provider are not offering.

(2) Mosquito Repellent Apps:- Now, it becomes more easy that you can remove mosquito through your 3G / smart phone.How technology works that through mobile phone, you can reduce or remove mosquito instead of any other repellent.

There are two most leading and well-known brands All Out & Good Knight repellent playing In Indian market. In that substitute, you can use your 3G phone with Mosquito repellent apps.

The funny thing of campaign is that at the end of this Television advertisment “A man saying that now Mosquito “All  Out” while Mr. Abhishek Bachchan is replying “Good Night”. That means both are indicating to brands “All Out Mosquito Repellent” and “Good Knight Mosquito Repellent”.

The one thing is good that Idea 3G has intorduced new apps and try to make differentiate against rivals. But, it is difficult to say that how much % such apps will work clearly. Because, Mossquito repellent apps first time introduced by Idea and it can not say assure that it will get success or not in India.

However, Idea has introduced with good efforts and trying to make it success. Today, there are enormous and variou kinds of Apps availabe in Indian market as well as world wide too.

And, still many more apps are in under process, which will coming soon that we may not expect.

Let’s see what Idea will Change Life !!!

Dettol V/S Lifebuoy

Dettol and Lifebuoy are very strong rival brands, holding huge market in antibacterial soap segments Both brands are very old as well as well known in worldwide market & already taken brand position in Indian market. However, both are competing strongly and aggressively in market.


The Core competency: - Both Dettol and Lifebuoy are conveying message that protection against “Germs”. And, both brands are targeting especially Children market. However, it can useful for family too.
Today, normally children are facing germs problem while playing, not cleaning wash properly etc. And, Dettol  & Lifebuoy keeps protect against germs and keep healthy family too.


Today, Hand wash sanitizer market is also growing m and family are moving towards hand sanitizer. As well, Dettol & Lifebuoy both brands are offering hand sanitizer too. Many other local brands are available in Indian market.


Recently, Dettol has introduced “No Hand touch wash” in Indian market where you can wash easily your hand without touching hand sanitizer.


Antibacterial Soap Players:- Dettol, Lifebuoy, Tri-active (Piramal Healthcare has introduced before few months ago).

                                   

Brand Campaign Strategy:-

 Recently a week ago, Lifebuoy has released new TVC of Lifebuoy soap where child is facing fever,stomach pain etc. Doctor asking to parents that is child bathing daily?, Parents telling to Doctor that they are using antibacterial liquid daily.


Meanwhile, Doctor replied due to use of antibacterial liquid, it may remove germ from bucket but it will not remove germ from body. And quickly showing germs on child’s body.
Mom asking that what will be better solution for it? Doctor giving an advice to use new Lifebuoy soap “that will be removing more germs during bathing as compared to Antiseptic liquid.”


So, the important thing is showing use Lifebuoy instead of Antiseptic liquid and it is effecting indirectly to Dettol. Because, Dettol Antiseptic liquid are available in market and leader in antiseptic liquid market. Normally, it is using for wound or cut on body in order to protect against germs. But, it can also be use during bath.


If you will analyze carefully in Lifebuoy TV ad, they are showing liquid same of Dettol. Just only one difference that it has not been use rival (Dettol) brand name. But, if you will see that antiseptic liquid, quickly Dettol will be come in your mind.


Here, same concept is being used by Lifebuoy (Hindustan Unilever Ltd.) which were being used in RIN detergent powder V/s Tide Detergent Powder. In that case, it has been clearly shown of rival brand Tide in TVC of RIN powder.


The only one question that Is Lifebuoy require to use such things in order to take over market? Lifebuoy is very old & well-known brand Globally. So, it can not expect that such leading brand will come out with simple concept.


It may chance to give negative impact in market by using this TVC and it may chance to fall down from market. On other side, Dettol can create an good opportunity in order to boos up sales & build up loyal brand equity.

Dettol has also released a new TVC just before a week ago where it is conveying punch line” Dettol Daily Care” 24 hour protection against germs. Here, we can say that Dettol has executed good branding strategy and come up with new concept “Daily Care”.

Tata Sky FACEPACK "On Time Visit"

Again, Again, Again Tata Sky come up with new service in DTH service market. Recently, a month ago Tata sky has introduced three new serivces as well as also released TVC campaign accordingly.

Really, it can say that Tata Sky are continuously working on consumers behaviour and their needs. And on that basis, introduced new services in market for valuable consumers. It gives feeling of punch line “Isko Laga Dala Toh Life Jinga La La” where consumers can get satsifaction.


The three services introduced in a month:-

(3) On Time Visit, No any Service Charge:- The latest service introduced by Tata Sky.
Advertisement Link:-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rps2m6rXwFw

Normally, we believe that to provide in-time service is much important in any service sector. As well, company can not run lnoger if it is not providing on-time service. So, it also require to make “Service maketing Strategy” with branding strategy in order to fulfill consumers/customers satisfaction & make them loyal.

Consumers can be satisfied only if they are getting good brands & regular service. And, due to highly satisfaction, consumers can become “Loyal Consumers”.


In today’s competitve scenario, it is much important that make your consumers/customers more loyal than get new consumers/customers. Otherwise, consumers/customers churning ratio will be go high.

The same thing is being done by Tata sky that it is always coming with new services at regular interval, new concepts as well as breaking clutter branding campaign.

DTH (Direct to Home) Service Players:- Dish TV, Tata Sky, Aritel Digital TV, Reliance Big TV, Sun Direct, Videocon D2H are major players.

Brand Ambassador (Endorser) :-
(1) Dish TV :-  Bollywood Star Mr.Shah Rukh Khan (Endorsing every Dish TV campaign)
(2) Tata Sky:- Bollywood Star Mr. Aamir Khan (He is endorsing on special new service campagin normally)
(3) Airtel Digital TV:- Bollywood Star Mr. Saif Ali Khan & Miss Kareena Kapoor
(4) Videocon D2H:- Bollywood Star Mr. Abhishek Bachchan (He was came initially launching, but now TVC of Videocon is not coming)

Yet, non of brands have been introduced such services in DTH service market.So, it can be good opportunity to build up strong brand equity, loyal & satisfy consumers and differentiates from rivals.


The another important thing is that to fulfill “PROMISE” which is being an offered by Tata Sky. Tata Sky has introduced services, is good thing but the most important thing is to make it fulfill well which has been shown in TVC. Once it will get success, then assure non of DTH serivice rivals can beat Tata Sky.


Let’s See How Tata Sky will get feedback?

Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar And 17 Brands endorsing by Sachin

“Sachin, Sachin, Sachin!!!”. A “Master Blaster” Indian Players “Sachin Tendulkar” has made his 100^th century, it was an amazing cricket innings and biggest achievement.

Really, Sachin Tendulkar is himself big brand & one of the most inspirational person in sports field where majority small children / young one are taking inspiration from Sachin. In India, numbers of small children are saying that “I want to become cricket player like Sachin”, I want to become Saching Tendulkar”.
Since many days, people were awaiting for Sachin’s 100^th century, an ultimately it has been an achieved by Sachin Tendulkar as well as he has already been made numbers of world record and still his efforts is going on n on…That’s why he is calling as “Master Blaster”.


 Now, you can think that
“How Sachin Tendulakar is known as “Master Blaster”,
How he has created his brand image & brand equity,
How he has made world record,
How he is playing strategically?”


 Sachin has never fell down or run away from ground despite of getting failure. Same he has been done lots of tried to make 100^th centure against Austrlia Cricket Series but he could not be done. But after lots of efforts, finally he did and proved.


Today, Sachin Tendulkar is endorsing 17 brands including 
Boost, Coca Cola, Toshiba major appliances,
Adidas, Jaypee Cement, Aviva Life Insurance, Reynolds, ITC Sunfeast,
Canon Camera, Castrol Oil Power 1, Active & GTX,
Royal Bank of Scotlant, luxury Swiss watch Audemars Piguet and others more.


After 100^th century of Sachin, few brands have already released new campaign while other brands will be coming soon with Sachin’s new campaign. 


Despite of 17 brands, many more other brands are awaiting to get sign deal with Sachin. As well, Coca Cola has released  first time new campaign with Sachin regaridng INR 20 per Coke can which is based on “Happiness Can”. 

If we take few example with brands which is being endorsing by Sachin Tendulkar:- 
(1) Toshiba (Leading Innovation):- Few months back, new TVC campaign has been released by Toshiba laptop, first time 3D/2D concept based in India where Sachin Tendulkar conveying message “Are You Reaady For More?”.

 But, if we analyze laptop market overview, there are many strong rival brands availabe in market such as Dell, Sony Viao, HP, Compaq, Dell, Samsung, Apple, Lenovo etc. which are offering well-advanced quality n technological features. And, yet Toshiba has not covered much market share from Indian market.But Toshiba can able to get success after awaiting like Sachin.


(2) Canon Digital Camera:- Same like as Toshiba Canon has also strong rival brands such as Niko, Samsung, Sony, FujiFilm, Olympus, Panasonic etc. are offering latest features with competitive price in India. As well, Nikon is one of market leading brand in India.


(3) Boost:- The Energy health drink brand Boost which is targeting most towards children which was endorsing by Sachin Tendulkar as well as lastly also endorsed by Indian Skipper M.S.Dhoni that conveying messgae “Boost is a secret of my energy”. However, there are strong rival brands such as Bournvita, Complan, Pediasure which have different competency. Still they comepte with each other very strong.

 (4) Adidas, Aviva Life Insurance and Jaypee Cement:- All of these brands are competing  against strong rivals in respective market where many competitors are avaliable in market, and many are entering newly in market.


Conclusion:- The only one impotant thing is that Sachin can be able to give good impact to your brand only if your brans must be strong market leader with strong brand recognition, brand equity, consumer satisfaction. Otherwise, it may chance to give belwo expected business. 


Think about you existing brand status:-
(1) Is your brand strong as like Sachin?
(2) Is your brand made any biggest record as like Sachin?
(3) Is your brand “Master Blaster” as like Sachin?
(4) Is your brand giving satisfaction to end users? 


If answer will be yes:- Then proceed further and make effective branding strategy.


 If answer will be No:- Then better, not to tie-up with Saching as endorser. Because, you are paying Sachin, and you have projected business plan with the consideration of Sachin. Only doing campaign is not important but ROI is much important after campaigning.


Let’s See How many brands shall sign a deal with Sachin Tendulakr…
