Dreaming little dreams: brand building at the Base of the Pyramid




Logic suggests that brands have
a limited role to play at the Base
of the Pyramid. But try telling
that to the people who live there.

it is the only thing that matters. With products asked
to perform a range of functional and emotional tasks,
there is a natural and hugely valued role for brands at
the Base of the Pyramid (BoP). However, those brands
must be prepared to develop original, innovative and
relevant propositions if they are to deliver against
the needs of BoP consumers and become part of an
exciting growth opportunity.

Priyanka’s story
TNS uses fictionalised realities, stories compiled from the
many different interviews conducted by our researchers,
to help bring to life the issues regularly faced by BoP
consumers in different markets. Here is one such story.

Priyanka is 19 years old. She lives in a small village
near Lucknow in India, part of a family of six that
survives on the annual income of $4,000 that her
father generates from the small piece of land he owns.
Every day Priyanka travels for over two hours to attend

Unlike the more affluent students at the college,
Priyanka does not have pocket money – but her
parents give her small amounts for transportation
and food. For the last month, though, she has
gone hungry most days. Hidden in her college
bag, a secret from her parents, is the reason:
a small tube of moisturiser.

Neutrogena is one of the more expensive moisturiser
brands on the market – and when Priyanka bought
her first tube from a shopkeeper in the city, she was
shocked at the small size of the product she was
given having saved up her lunch money to buy it. She
decided to try it anyway – and has never willingly used

She fears that such perceptions will stand in the way
of her opportunities.

Priyanka’s mother and father both believe that cutting
Priyanka’s hair would damage her prospects for a good
marriage. When she asked to wash her hair more
frequently, to keep it from getting oily, they worried
that she was secretly seeing boys. They would worry
equally about make-up or beauty products – and that’s
why they can’t know about the tube of Neutrogena.
Keeping her family happy is very important to Priyanka.
She wants to be accepted in her home village, just as
she wants to be accepted amongst the other students
at college. She is worried, though, that these two
worlds will one day pull her in different directions.

 a commodity, provided the brand
 proposition is relevant, accessible
 and affordable.
This is particularly true of an upper BoP segment, those
with purchasing power of between $2 and $8 a day,
which TNS identifies as ‘Strivers’.

These BoP consumers are educated, hopeful and
optimistic about their future, aspirational, ambitious
and confident in their ability to achieve their ambitions.
Like Priyanka they value their social equity and seek
ways to build it further. But like Priyanka they often
find themselves caught in conflict between traditional
worlds and new opportunities.

Assertiveness
Themes of excellence and success can also resonate
amongst BoP consumers, provided they focus on
relevant needs. Brands have found success with
promises of mastery over budget, admiration and envy
of superior homemaking skills, enhancement of social
stature and parental pride and ambition. Priyagold, a
biscuit brand in India, challenged the market norms
and the market leader by introducing a range of
indulgence biscuits. Until then, the only biscuits that
were accessible to lower income consumers were
the cheaper energy range. Priyagold’s ‘demand with
entitlement’ proposition instead asked: Why should the
good things in life be denied to you?

She is a bright girl with potential, educations who land salaried jobs in the city – and so deal to consumers who live on less than $8 a day. the local schoolteacher said. Her family had watched they have carefully set aside what money they can to However, it would be a terrible mistake to assume that stories on the community TV set about girls with college send Priyanka to college. it is the only thing that matters. With products asked to perform a range of functional and emotional tasks, there is a natural and hugely valued role for brands at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP). However, those brands must be prepared to develop original, innovative and relevant propositions if they are to deliver against the needs of BoP consumers and become part of an exciting growth opportunity. Priyanka’s story TNS uses fictionalised realities, stories compiled from the many different interviews conducted by our researchers, to help bring to life the issues regularly faced by BoP consumers in different markets. Here is one such story. Priyanka is 19 years old. She lives in a small village near Lucknow in India, part of a family of six that survives on the annual income of $4,000 that her father generates from the small piece of land he owns. Every day Priyanka travels for over two hours to attend Share this Opinion Leader 3
  • 4. Dreaming little dreams: brand building at the Base of the Pyramid Unlike the more affluent students at the college, Priyanka does not have pocket money – but her parents give her small amounts for transportation and food. For the last month, though, she has gone hungry most days. Hidden in her college bag, a secret from her parents, is the reason: a small tube of moisturiser. Neutrogena is one of the more expensive moisturiser brands on the market – and when Priyanka bought her first tube from a shopkeeper in the city, she was shocked at the small size of the product she was given having saved up her lunch money to buy it. She decided to try it anyway – and has never willingly used another moisturiser brand since. She loves the way that the cream feels on her face – and she is certain that the soft look it gives her skin helps her to fit in amongst wealthier students. When the shopkeeper ran out of Neutrogena one month, Priyanka Although the moisturiser is the only beauty product money – in order to buy a Ponds face wash. By sharing tried another upmarket brand.

If she did nothing about her parts of her life. appearance, she knows she will be ridiculed and singled out as a ‘village girl’ when she travels to the city. She fears that such perceptions will stand in the way of her opportunities. Priyanka’s mother and father both believe that cutting Priyanka’s hair would damage her prospects for a good marriage. When she asked to wash her hair more frequently, to keep it from getting oily, they worried that she was secretly seeing boys. They would worry equally about make-up or beauty products – and that’s why they can’t know about the tube of Neutrogena. Keeping her family happy is very important to Priyanka. She wants to be accepted in her home village, just as she wants to be accepted amongst the other students at college. She is worried, though, that these two worlds will one day pull her in different directions. Share this Opinion Leader 5

Once functional, affordable, addressing priority needs and and women in India, China, Latin America and Africa: won over, BoP consumers reward their brands with yet also providing reassurance and even guidance. the regions where the vast majority of BoP unshakeable loyalty, giving early movers in this market Achieving this often means re-engineering a brand consumers live. a strong competitive advantage. However, to earn through production innovation, packaging and that loyalty, brands must first craft a proposition that delivery mechanisms. People living on less than $8 per day resonates with the multi-dimensional role that they demonstrate a strong and surprising preference to buy a brand over a commodity, provided the brand proposition is relevant, accessible and affordable. This is particularly true of an upper BoP segment, those with purchasing power of between $2 and $8 a day, which TNS identifies as ‘Strivers’. These BoP consumers are educated, hopeful and optimistic about their future, aspirational, ambitious and confident in their ability to achieve their ambitions. Like Priyanka they value their social equity and seek ways to build it further. But like Priyanka they often find themselves caught in conflict between traditional worlds and new opportunities.

Danone’s scientists worked to resonating with BoP consumers in this way – and create a product that strips away all unessential costs providing reassurance, support and even guidance: without compromising on nutritional quality and the company partnered with the Grameen Foundation to Empowerment establish an innovative community distribution model. The sense of a brand enabling and empowering, either Shakti Dohi is marketed door-to-door by Grameen oneself or one’s family, is particularly powerful.

Brands have found success with promises of mastery over budget, admiration and envy of superior homemaking skills, enhancement of social stature and parental pride and ambition. Priyagold, a biscuit brand in India, challenged the market norms and the market leader by introducing a range of indulgence biscuits. Until then, the only biscuits that were accessible to lower income consumers were the cheaper energy range.
