Strategies
Sales Promotion :
Machhar Mukt Bharat
Launch a massive exchange scheme.
Timeline – Start in the month of August and
conclude on August 20 (World Mosquito Day)
This would be done upon advent of monsoons (when
there is maximum usage of repellents)
Since our consumer behavior
analysis shows that our target
market is television savvy and gets
induced by advertisements to
buy/try new products, we will use
advertising channels to
communicate.
Events :
Conducting awareness campaigns in
congested areas of metro cities.
Demonstration Campaigns in metro
cities showcasing 9 minute challenge!
Campaigns will be organized by third
party event management companies.
Communicate through various
social medias our value proposition
time and again!

National Sample Survey Office on drinking water, sanitation, hygiene and
housing conditions in India revealed :
• There has been an improvement in the living conditions of a vast majority of
people in rural areas
• 80 per cent of rural households had electricity for domestic use.
• The prosperity in India is growing as incomes are increasing in India by 15.6%
Amidst such trends and low penetration
of vaporizers we want to target the large
untapped rural market.
We want to target the lower income
segment group which upon increase in
incomes will come in the upper income
group and will be able to afford our product
Editor's Notes
Indirect cost savings in terms of less electricity consumption.
Launch a massive exchange scheme where the consumers could exchange their mat machines and buy our vaporizers at a discount. This exchange program will help the brand to penetrate into the mat segment.
