Mass communications; advertising &sales promotions
• Developing and managing an advertising program includes
1.Selecting the objective2.Deciding on the advertising budget3.Developing the advertising campaign4.Choosing the communication vehicle5.evaluation
Why BIL choose event and experience strategy for sales promotions?
• Golden opportunity to generate sales • Cricket in INDIA was ‘pervasive nasha’-an addiction
enfolding masses• Biscuit sales was falling by 30% every year• BIL faced another challenge: it was over-dependent
on one product, with biscuits accounting for 85 per cent of its turnover last year. Dependence to that degree could have disastrous consequences
• Four major sponsers-Pepsi,Vodafone,Emirates and Nat West Bank
• TVrights not given to a single company but had separate deals for different territories.
• Brand Storming-Pepsi,LG,Samsung Philips ,Hero Honda , Britannia
Bil’s contest
• `Britannia Khao,world cup jao ' -- a three-month promotion that promises a free three-day trip to UK for 100 lucky consumers of Britannia
• The company rolled out a wide range of its products bearing the `Britannia khao world cup jao' slogan on the packaging.Consumers were required to collect 100 runs obtained on the purchase of Britannia products and redeem these for cut out coupons -- the key to the luckyprizes -- that can be collected at designated prize centres.
PRIZES• Cricket book for all who submitted
wrappers totalling 100• 100 winners to uk trip• 100 21 inch colour tv• 1000 cricket bats• 10000 wrist watches• 100000 TIGER CASHEW BADAM biscuit pkt

Results• Increased awareness among the consumers• Corporate image enhanced-(forbes)• Created experience and evoked feelings• Expressed commitment to the community-
(training for children)
Persuasive/remider advertising Main concern- • Clutter generated due to meganess of the
event. • Would it really build saliency.• Large amount of funds and manpower
CLUTTER FACED BY BRITANNIA• PepsiCo, Vodaphone, NatWest, and Emirates,
LG Group, Outspan, Hero Honda Motors, Scrumpy Jack, and The Daily Telegraph.-clutter.
• Nobody else had the rights to the use of the World Cup logo, signage, or music.
• Each got billboard space at every venue• First shot at broadcast sponsorship of the event
in different countries. • Organisers have devised powerful anti-ambush
strategies to ensure that competing brands cannot use the World Cup logo.
HIGH BUDGET
• TV during the livecast of the matches is akin to throwing good money after bad returns.
• First, on both DD and ESPN/Star Sports, they have to buy the entire package of matches, the only choice being the number of spots per match.
• Britannia would have to pay for a viewership that would be 10 times the dimensions of their target customers.
• STRATEGY WHICH AVOIDED CLUTTER AND WASTAGE OF FUNDS
• LAUNCH OF SCHEME………DIDN’T DEPEND ON ADVERTISEMENT DURING LIVE CAST OF
MATCH• LAUNCH OF SCHEME ………ONE MONTH
BEFORE ANY PROMOTIONAL EVENT .
