Jo Dikhta Hai Wo Bikta Hai


It fizzy and It Sucks ! ! !were the words of Varun after he had the first sip of the bottle.

How did Varun decide to buy Orangeon ?

Browsing through the store a unique bulb shaped bottle caught his attention.Varun was more excited about the new drink than the producers of the Drink . It was priced high compared to other drinks in the shelf at Rs 30 ,,later he realised it was made out of the orange peel, reluctant to abandon it Varun suggested everyone on his way for a sip and every one had the same reaction as of his...

In the refrigeration shelf of the store there were many drinks both national and regional brands battling for consumers attention. Strategically located where the drinks from the two Major brands Coke and Pepsi. But there were many regional brands out there which the retailer was selling, Brands which never heard of like Bindu jeera Masala soda, Rani,Sip on etc

Bindu Jeera Soda and Sip On are brands from the Shankar group. The group is into the beverage business and has mineral water,milk shakes,aerated drinks,and soda in its product line. Many in the campus have tried Bindu jeera soda. reasons are the unique name of the drink. The name is funny to many and jeera soda is a traditional drink Indian drink loved by many, Bindu is the first packaged jeera soda and the marketing wing of the group has done a smart thing, Instead of using traditional media like the mass media which many cola companies do, Bindu jeera soda is not advertised any where instead the company concentrated on the 3 P i,e PLACE (Distribution) they have a strong distribution network, they have flooded every shelf in the retail store and they are tapping the channel partners to sell these products. and if you think why will the retailer sell Bindu jeera soda, when he has brands like pepsi and coke which provide the refrigeration equipment and also manage regular stock.. The only reason is better Margin, huge cola brands cut on the retailers margin as their brands have a better pull (demand)from the customer. this is not the case with Bindu jeera soda as they are paid better.

The group has leveraged on the Bindu brand and has made extension into mineral water and other product. Distribution networks/ channel members are very important for a brand success as they influence the decision of the cosumer and research tells that 1/3 of the buying decision are made inside the store.
hence most of the regional brands use this 'P' place to sell the products of the shelves and Bindu is such example of it.

Sometimes Unheard brands are good brands but not heard of in certain places. My colleagues had not heard of Rani fruit juices ( big name especially in Middle East,and known for their juice quality) or Dr Pepper. As you say it, jo us tv par dikhta hai wo india mein bikta hai
