To overcome this NIL conducted a research.
(CONT.)NILs promotions positioned the noodles as a convenience product for mothers & as a fun product for children.
The noodles tagline , Fast to Cook, Good to Eat was also in keeping with this positioning.
They promoted the product further by distributing free samples, giving gifts on return of empty packets ,etc.
Effective Tagline Communication.

the form shape, size, physical structure of Maggi is very attractive as it is easy to carry, comes in various packs and sizes according to customers convenience..
The various features of Maggi noodles are first of all its perfect taste according to the Indian touch & spices
performance level of Maggi is excellent there are various other brands offered target market, but Maggi prevailed as the winner out of them..Quality is the main factor on which emphasizes as it is Maggis main strength which provides Maggi an edge over its competitors ..Maggi products are durable as due to its preparation these products are easy to store, have a long shelf life and can be stored at any given temperatures which is tested and approved.Reliability is also one of Maggis strength, as one can always rely on a Maggie product for a particular taste which it guaranties..

TO concludeHere are some who leads called market leader and there are some who follows, called follower. Maggi has been a leader for decades and it is Maggi who educated Indian consumer about noodles.
Of course, their market share might got depleted in course of time, by the entry of some very big players but Maggi will not sit silent. They will also reinforce their activities which will ultimately benefit the consumer.
People will definitely taste for a change, but it is very difficult to change ones taste bud and the top of mind game, as Maggi has become a generic name in India for their long presence..
- Focus on creating distinctive image, based on twin benefits of INSTANT and HEALTHY with emphasis on health conscious and rural market.
- Conduct promotional campaigns at schools in small towns with population more than 10,000.
Strengthen the distribution channel of the rural areas within 100 km of all the metros.
Foray into other food products like chips, chocolates etc under its sole brand name would not only help in Brand extension but will also enhance Maggis market share.
Launch new advertisement campaign (T.V., Radio etc) with the Brand Ambassador.SUGGESTIVE PROMOTIONAL STRATEGIES
