INTRODUCTION
Advertising plays a very pre dominant role for any Marketer. Goods no matter of
how good quality, they may be are of no use if they are not brought to the notice of
the consumer. Advertising can be classified on the basis of target audience towards
whom the advertising is directed .there could be different set of target audience.
These are:
Consumer (households) Industries
Traders
Professionals
Institutions
In our project we would be solely concentrating on the household sector, this sector
dominates any other sector in terms of its goods and services. The complexity of
human behavior is one major factor which makes a job of Marketer tough.
The success of any advertising campaign depends on its effectiveness that is howeffective it is in stimulating consumer to buy the product or at least give a thought
to the product .there are various type of advertising media which can be used . But
the choice of media is a very critical decision as a selection of wrong advertising
media can lead to colossal resources and it can even have an impact on goodwill of
a company. The media has to be selected taking into consideration the target
audience and as a manager we also to take into consideration the Advertising
Budget.
we have taken a company named Amul and then we have made an analysis of its
advertising and sales promotion techniques, the communication mix employed bythe company for its various product categories and how effective these strategies
have been in positioning Amul as not only Amul but as Amul The Taste of India

HISTORY:BUSINESS needs ideas, not merely money. Ventures run on just money, but
starved of ideas, would eventually fall prey to competition and perish. And, if ideas
are available in abundance, business can overcome other handicaps, including its
relative weaker money power, compared to that of its rivals. The success story of
the Gujarat Co- operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) proves this point.
Amul follows a unique business model, which aims at providing 'value for money'
products to its consumers, while protecting the interests of the milk-producing
farmers who are its suppliers as well as its owners. Despite being a farmers' co-operative, Amul has given multinationals a run for their money.
The Amul Pattern has established itself as a uniquely appropriate model for rural
development. Amul has spurred the White Revolution of India, which has made
India the largest producer of milk and milk products in the world. It is also the
world's biggest vegetarian cheese brand.
Amuls is Indias largest diary producing company with over half the market
leading other national companies such as Mother Diary and multinational food
product companies such as Nestle India and Hindustan Lever Ltd
Amul demonstrates how careful and consistent product stewardship combined
with a deep and intimate understanding of the market leads to consistent growth and
success. The company can process nearly 10 million litres of milk each day.
The company started as the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Federation in 1946,
collecting just 250 liters of milk a day. The company was formed to give farmers
their due and protect them from unscrupulous middlemen. Since then the company
has come a long way. But one thing is still the same. That time also it was by andfor the farmers and today also its the same.

It combined market and social development in an emerging economy. It
recognized the inter-linkages between various environments that governed the livesof marginal milk farmers and the unmet needs of consumers.
It realized that in order to achieve their objectives, it had to benefit a large number
of people both suppliers and consumers. While large scale had the danger of
failure due to poor control and required more resources, it also had the advantage of
creating a momentum that would be necessary to bring more people into the fold
and thereby help more suppliers and consumers.
It also realized that its goal could only be achieved in the long run and this
required developing values in people and processes that were robust, replicable and
transparent.
It also realized that the cooperative would not be independent and viable in the
face of competition if it were not financially sound. This implied that AMUL had to
develop distinct capabilities that would deliver competitive advantage to its
operations.
Thus this is a brief overview of Amul The taste of India

ADVERTISEMENT STRATEGYHAS BEENFOLLOWED BY AMUL-THE TASTE OF INDIA
Before Amul entered the picture, companies used conventional methods of
advertising where the focus was only on the food products and the tone of the pitch
was serious. Amul changed the way food products were communicated to the
people in India. It always advertised its mother brand Amul, and not its products
like butter, pizzas, or cheese. It all began in 1966 when Sylvester daCunha, then the
managing director of the advertising agency, ASP, clinched the account for Amul
butter. The butter, which had been launched in 1945, had a staid, boring image,
primarily because the earlier advertising agency which was in charge of the account
preferred to stick to routine, corporate ads. The year Sylvester daCunha took over
the account, the country saw the birth of a campaign whose charm has endured
fickle public opinion, gimmickry and all else.Amul has been consistant over the
communication campaign and brand strategy. AMUL has positioned itself as "
Taste of India " and have ensured that their communication is in line with their
positioning strategy By insisting on an umbrella brand, GCMMF not only skillfullyavoided inter-union conflicts but also created an opportunity for the union members
to cooperate in developing products
UMBRELLA BRANDING:
Amuls advertising strategy has followed the concept of Umbrella Branding.
Amul is the common brand name for most of its products across categories. For
instance, the Amul girl has also been used to advertise Amul ghee and milk. Its ad
campaign Amul doodh peeta hai India, conceptualised & created by FCB-Ulka,was drafted to proclaim its leadership position and was targeted at people across all
income categories. The corporate campaign The Taste of India caters to people
belonging to all walks of life & across cultures. It is circled around a one day old
child who needs milk as much as to a dead man who needs ghee.

keep a brand alive in the mind of the consumer by providing reminders of the
brands existence. But in an active category with specific categoryfunctionality, the
brand also needs to provide consumers with reasons to choose their brand over the
others.Halo effects on the parent brand.
Consumer Advertising:
This is also called end product advertising .such advertisements are primarily
directed at consumers. These are the advertisements which are most prominent as
very substantial portion of the total advertising budget is directed to potential
buyers of consumer products through mass media. The fact that the number of
buyers of consumer items is generally very large and is widely distributed over a
large geographically area further, enhances the importance of consumer advertising
as a marketing tool.
Institutional advertising: institution advertising s also called corporate advertising .
its a public-relation-approach advertising. Amul had wanted to build a goodwill forits brand and also it is always expressing a viewpoint on a controversial issue
through the use of billboard which we are going to discuss under media platform
used.Indirect Action Advertising : Indirect action advertising as against direct
action advertising does not attempt to bring about an immediate behavioral response
. The purpose of Amul was not to bring about an immediate behavioral response but
the aim of advertisements was to create a image in the minds of consumer regarding
Amul. Amul wanted to build long term relation with its customers that is why it
never adopted practice of aggresively selling the product.

hoice of research design alternatives & choice
Despite the difficulty of establishing an entirely satisfactory classification system, it
is helpful to classify marketing research on the basis of the fundamental objectives
of the research. Consideration of the different types, their applicability, their
strengths, and their weakness will help the student to select the type best suited to a
specific problem. The two general types of research are:
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH
Exploratory research seeks to discover new relationship, emphasison discovery of ideas. Marketing researches devote a significant portion of their
work on exploratory studies when very little is known about the problem being
examined.
CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH
Conclusive studies attempts to determine the frequency with which something
occurs or the relationship between two phenomenon. Usually conclusive studies
assume certain under underlying characteristics of the market or have some precise
statement of research questions/hypothesis.

FINDINGS
y During the survey it was found that still there are10% people who have nottasted Amul Chocolate.
y Lake of Awareness in consumers. Many people are not know about Amulchocolates specially children and teenagers.
y As I found that the main product of Amul is Milk andcompany firstly wants
to capture maximum market share in milk market which is approx. 66%, afterit Amul is concentrating upon butter & cheese which has market share of
approx. 88%, so it is not concentrating upon chocolates.
y When I interviewed people then many of the people can not recall Amulchocolate advertisement. It shows Lake of Advertisementor advertisement is
not timely givenor advertisement is not given on right time.
y In its advertisement is not using any brand ambassador which attracts allage group people likeCad bury.
y There is lake of Sales Promotional Activities i.e. free tattoo,extra weight,toys, quiz contest etc.
y Cadbury is main competitor and strategically better performer then Amul.
y I find the main thing is thatAmul brand name has very goodimage inconsumers mind and they consider it as Pure & Good Product.
y People who have tasted Amul Chocolate are not ready to purchase the sameagain.
