A Well- known brand Happydent by Perfetti Van Melle has released new “sugar free chewing gum” in India. Overall Perfetti is playing in two segments sugar confectionery market and another is healthcare market. Perfetti has evolved good brand image and already been taken strong position for few brands like Chlormint, Center fresh, Center shock, Alpenliebe, Big babul, Mentos and Happydent, as well all brands are running successfully in confectionery market against rivals.  

Perfetti is holding more than 25% market share as well as market leader, largest player in confectionery market. And, ITC Ltd, Wirgley’s are followed by Perfetti van Melle. Today’s confectionery market is growing very fast and slowly company are introducing variant candy, chewing gum especially mint base. Mint base market is growing slowly which is being used as mouth freshener, throat infection & after smoke or it can say multiple benefits.

Happydent has achieved an award of ‘Best advertisement” in India.

Happydent brand established as “Sparkling Teeth” in healthcare segment, and ‘sparkling teeth’ is showing in every television commercials. Happydent white has already been extended its two ‘sugar free’ brands which are known as Happydent Petrox and Happydent white Xylit that includes ayurvedic ingredients. Recently, a month ago Happydent white launched other ‘sugar free’ brand which is know as Happydent Complete chewing gum.

New brand: - Happydent Complete which is sugar free gum.

Brand Endorser: - Bollywood Actress Mallika Sherawat.

Punch line: - “Jai Roshni Baba Ki”





Brand Campaign: - Very funny television commercial and strategy is focusing on “sugar free” gum concept as well as your teeth also become strong. Despite of sugar free concept, normally mass consumers are consuming it and the word “sugar free” is use for diabetic people. And, today many other brands are entered in market as “Sugar Free” which are targeting to diabetic people in India. And, in television commercial, there is not conveying any kind of message which can relate.

Normally, confectionery brands are selling more on pan shop, Kirana stores or provision stores and now medical stores are also selling mint base candy & chewing gum too. So, it can say that “sugar free” concept may not match with target market as well as ‘Happydent Complete’ brand is more focus on mass than specific market.

A one day ago 27th December,2011, a giant beverages company Coca Cola has released new year campaign, and since 2009 Coca cola has been come up with global campaign with the punch line “ Open Happiness” which is going successfully as well as also coming with breaking clutter campaign. Especially, each festival is key part for Coca Cola that it can take good opportunity to established loyal & strong brand equity. One of the leading advertising agency McCann Erickson who is handle client Coca cola, as well  this agency has already been given so many breaking clutter campaign which has got good response.

Campaign Brief: - Latest Coca Cola campaign has come up with “Umeed Wali dhoop, Sunshine wali Aasha” which is conveying message about positive thinking, contribute your happiness, make your day happy. Jingle as well as lyrics is so nice and touchable, children are singing in chorus form which maintain the message & gives inspiration. And, the campaign is ending with the punch line “Believe in happier tomorrow”.

Jingle:- “Umeed Wali dhoop, Sunshine wali Aasha…..”

Punch Line:- “Believe in happier tomorrow”.


The same other thing is that Coca Cola has also been released “Two Lamp and Contribute your Happiness” campaign on Diwali Festival (India). It was also breaking clutter and touchable campaign where convey message of happiness.

There is a little lack in new campaign that campaign is much focus on jingle than data presentation and data presentation is also showing in little fast speed where viewers may not get much time to go through it. It can make much better if data execution and jingle both worked well. But, here people will more like jingle than data, but it should be need to focus on both. Data representation is also one of the U.S.P for this campaign.

However, the positive message is conveying very nicely with happiness that gives enthusiasm as well as inspiration too. Another important thing is that rival company Pepsico has not executed any new year campaign as well since many time Pepsico is not came yet.

Open Happiness!!!

Happy New Year!!!

2 Minute Break V/s 1 Minute Break And Viewers get Benefit


Entertainment break is going to become small now a day in order to maintain viewers interest. First, Start Gold Channel have been started “1 Minutes break” since more than 6 months ago and it has been got really good response. Because, the growth of television advertisement is growing and continuously 4-5 minutes advertisement making down interest of viewers. As well, many times viewers avoid watching full program or good movies due to advertisement bombarding.

1 Minute Break

2 Minute Break
Now, (Sony Entertainment television) SET Max has also started “2 Minute Break”  after Star Gold, overall  both of these channel are leading among the broadcast of Hindi Movie channel where its broadcasting continuously full day Hindi movie.  So, a “2 minutes break “ can also viable and viewers can get idea, as well as maintain their seat. UTV action channel is showing some different way , it is starting count down when 2 minutes remaining that viewers can get idea and coming back on same channel.

Due to reducing the break time, it is effect on advertisers also and they need to make plan accordingly. All Channels have to need to maintain their viewership as well as advertisers because both are very much important for channels and in absence of any one of them difficult to stay in competition. And, here 2 minute as well as 1 minute break can maintain viewership with advertisers.

Apart from both of these channel, other GEC channel have not started break in various half hour serial (Series), but It may be start or may not be. And, there is broadcasting more than 10 minutes advertise in half hour serial (Series). But, suppose they try to reduce break, it may chance to get high TRP with effective program content than at present TRP.

Star Gold is offering “1 minute” break while Set Max (Sony Entertainment television) is offering “2 minute” break, so what about others entertainment channel?

Will they start soon or not?

Star One channel is became now LifeOk


Star Group Channel Star one is now became Life Ok channel on 18th Dec., 2011. Yesterday, it has been launched as well as also promoted by Bollywood Actress Madhuri Dixit; it was good launching with online live concert from 12.00 pm to 8.00 pm. As well, television promo & OOH have already been started since few days back; LifeOk will broadcast with all new GEC programs.



Star Plus has already been taken reposition by changing its logo on Diwali Festival time in India and, then Star Gold has been change logo & kept same one as of Star plus. But, Star one has made totally change name as well as logo with animated character & different colours.

Reposition is very important things where it needs to lots of work during changing logo, punch line, packing or else. Since 4-5 years, time is going to take reposition; many brands have already been changed its logo or change company corporate logo. If we talk about GEC channel, Zee Network (Zee Tv, Zee cinema etc.) changed. However, it has not being getting good feedback as well as not taken good reposition.


But, here LifeOk channel name and program which will be showing, both have difference. It can not match perfectly. It can say that it might be trying to get different identity in order to take strong position. The important thing is that it can not say that LifeOk because, there has not been change in program categories compared to other GEC.

The meaning of LifeOk is that you are getting assure satisfaction, fully entertain, happiness, joy etc. with family or lonely. And, if you will analyze the program and watch program, Will it be give you LifeOk? The name of this channel LifeOk can be strong point where it will be take reposition.

If we are normally speaking about Life ok or if we will ask anyone that about LifeOk, quickly they perceived about health. So, the name is major directly related to Health instead of entertainment. However, still it can not say assure about that it will get success or not to take reposition and build up brand image because, it has just released now.

Will it get success and make really LifeOk of viewers or not?

Let’s see!!!

Microsoft, Intel, Apple & Google Android: Master Blaster of Technology


Well-Known Master Blaster Players of Technology, all of these players have change the whole technology scenario, they have brought revolution in technology, and still they are evolving more advanced technology day by day. Nobody can able to beat them because they have already done great records/points/runs; As well they are still growing ahead & more ahead.

Difficult to say that where will they reach, what will be aim/object of them. It can also say they have been created “Technology world”.  They are always coming with innovative & more advanced technology.
We all know them very well, and even many people are speak about them daily at least once in a day. 

Yes, the players are Microsoft, Intel, Apple & Google Android.

Microsoft has been started its operating system with Window 95, Window 96, Window 98, Window XP SP2 & SP3, and then now came with Window Vista, Window 7 & Home premium. Even, it will be coming soon Window 8 by next year.  As well, it is market leader in operating system. Window XP was one of the successful operating system in market before Window Vista & Window 7 came. However, still it is exist at many places in market.
















Intel is market leader in processor against rival AMD processor. Intel has been started with Pentium 1 processor to Pentium 4, Celeron M inside, Quad core, Intel duo 2 core & core 2 duo, and now Intel i3, i5 & latest i7 processor which is well-advanced technology. Intel duo 2 core & core 2 duo both have been performed well, established good brand image too. Still, both are available in lower-mid range PC. And, now Intel i3, i5 & i7 is became one of the advanced family for Intel.



Apple has made lots of change in technology, from iPod, iPad, iPhone smart phone, iPhone 2, iPhone 3 and iPhone 4 even iPhone 4S recently launched in India. As well, iPhone 5 will be coming soon by next year & iTV will be also launch by next year soon. Great expansion & innovation by Apple, yet we don’t know that how many will be coming more new technology.

Google Android has release its operating system and getting good feedback from users. Android has also covered good market and it may be more effect on rivals too. Android has started operating system 1.6 to now latest version 4 is available in market. Android OS majority is use in mobile handset especially.

Conclusion point:-
My conclusion point is that about today many advanced technology are introducing day by day as well as consumers are also attracting towards advanced version.

So, what will about previous version market like Intel core to duo, Intel i3 processor, Android OS v2.2 or 2.3 or previous version, Window XP, Vista, Apple iPhone 2, iPhone 3 etc.? Consumers willingly desire quality products & price.

Today, it may price high but, many consumers are ready to pay willingly price against getting Value for money. Companies are continuously launching advance technology and you just assuming that today i7 processor, tomorrow it will invent new one. Then what will be about i3 market in future? Mostly consumers prefer new technologies which enable to perform well.

Will previous version discontinue from market? Or will company close production by strategically like now Window 95 or 96 not available. It’s like everything is coming for short period of time and get good business then moving toward new technology.

The same thing is happening with LCD & LED concept. There may be not much difference in price between LCD & LED. And, it has found that LED is good which is saving power consumption, good for eyes than LCD. Consumers are moving fast towards LED. 
Will it be possible that LCD market reduce in future?

What will be position of previous version?  Share your views!!!

And it is targeting on Family that conveying message it needs for everyone. A very very old and premium brand Dabur Chyawanprash which holds 70% market share and still running successfully in Indian market. The strategy has used that focus on about manufacturing from many Ayurvedic elements/ingredients which gives you energy; remove illness, strong immune system. The punch line is focus “Zaroorat Hai (It needs)” build up strong brand image and really consumers are buying in winter season.
While Indian Skipper M.S. Dhoni is endorsing it for kids & teenagers, Dabur got good response, boost up its sales after appointed M.S.Dhoni. The other strategy that first time, Dabur has launched Chyawanprash in two delicious variants Orange flavor & Mango flavor because, variants is giving additional taste and it can also use in summer season. Mostly, kids are lover of variants/flavor.

(3) Himani Sona chandi Chyawanprash: - Sona chandi Chyawanprash is endorsing by Bollywood star Shahrukh khan that conveying message Sona (Gold) gives physically energy (strong immune system) & Chandi (Silver) gives brain energy. The punch line is focus on “jeeto jindagi ki har jung (Win each battle of life)”.  Today’s life is full of stress, tension and at that time you need Chyawanprash. However, Himani could not getting good position in Chyawanprash market, still continuous competing against Dabur. Yet, it could not settle brand image in consumers mind, due to lack of strategy, over the years Dabur already in market.
Emami has also launched Sona chandi Amritprash which is special for summer season that gives relief from hot and get energy.
