Even though brand awareness is good, sales are minimal

WHAT WENT WRONG?

RECOMMENDATIONS

• So, make Hippo available not only in general stores but also in all college canteens and bus stands, railway stations

RECOMMENDATIONS
?Advertising
• Increase budget allocation towards TV advertisement to reach all segments • Promote “Healthiness” of the munchies • Focus on taste and variety of flavours • Theme for advertisement – varying with flavour • Send in your Hippo recipe contest
