ADVERTISEMENTS
? ? ? ?

The advertising strategy used humour to sell Bingo.

ITC used a 360 degree brand building effort to boost the new launch.
Ogilvy & Mather (O&M), focused to position the brand as youth-centric. The variety came through a series of fun campaigns — consumers were

asked to design the ads for Bingo using the angular shape of the chips as
the central theme.
?

Crowd sourcing which serves two purposes – it engages the end-consumer

and the campaign is done at the lowest possible cost.

I try Bingo because it stands apart, different from the crowd, almost edging on "weird"

Differently shaped, cool and fun chips to have

Good traditional Indian flavours but I love to consume those flavoured items as dishes in the restaurant

Too many flavours confuse me!!!!

Not able to differentiate whether it is Indian or international

Amazing taste!!!!

PROBLEMS
? ? ? ?

Stagnant Market Share

Brand Loyalty of Lays customer is posing threat to Bingo
Many of the flavors of Bingo are having the same look and packaging Advertisements have failed in creating an urge among customers to go and

buy a pack of Bingo
? ? ?

Unawareness of the variety of flavours Threats of local players Taste and too many flavours

RECOMMENDATIONS

BRAND PACKAGING
?

Bingo! can come up with different shapes of packaging. A triangular pack can be one of the options
Benefits:
? ?

Different packaging always attracts consumers Novelty sustains the consumers’ interest in the brand

?

Usage of different colors for packaging different flavors, so that the customer is able to differentiate among various

flavours available

BRAND PROMOTIONS
?

Seasonal promotions
? Gift

packs: Combo packs in festival season with 4-5

flavors
? Tie

up with Coca Cola: At time of Diwali, Cricket

Tournaments etc…
?

Title sponsors for programs targeting the youth
? E.g.

Splits Villa on MTV, Indian idol etc

CHANGE IN ADVERTISING
?

Change in Advertising: The existing advertisements have been successful in
creating brand awareness. The new advertisements will focus more on taste and
variety of flavours available and tempting the consumers to purchase the product after seeing them.

?

A continuing character will be used in the advertisements. An animated potato will be used in the advertisements, where the tastes of the various flavors will be theme the advertisements

FLAVOURS
?

Having too many flavours is causing some problems because

customers can’t differentiate between.
?

So many (16) variants is a good option to launch with so that people are tempted to try each of them

?

But gradually they can reduce from their portfolio, the ones which they come to know
are not doing well in the market

?

So this would also reduce the problem of confusion amongst the consumers.
