1. Context
1.1 NON-CARBONATED MANGO BASED DRINKS IN INDIA Mango drinks are one of the fastest going beverage products in India today. For a country obsessed with Mangoes, this category of drinks enjoys a market among patrons looking for a taste of Mango throughout the year. Although orange and lemon flavors are popular, mango continues to be the preferred flavor in India with a 90% market share. Mango based drinks are sold in a variety of packages including tetrapaks, PET bottles and returnable glass bottles. Tetra-paks are popular among regular users but are not common at restaurants or hotels who prefer returnable glass bottles for the sake of convenience and storage. The category comprises of several kinds of products based on the pulp content – drinks (pulp 85%). The overall category can be segmented into real and synthetic drinks. Fig.1 represents the direct and indirect competition in the mango based drink category relevant to Frooti.

The market for non-carbonated fruit based beverages is worth Rs 3,200 crores1 growing at 3035%2 annually. The three main competitors - Maaza, Frooti and Slice hold close to 90% of the market (Fig 1 & 2). There is huge growth potential as only 10% of the juice consumption is through packaged drinks and 90%2 is still through un-organized segment and fresh juice outlets.

Threat of New Entrants : Low - Difficult for new players to setup distribution networks - High marketing and advertising costs as product is low involvement

2. Company
2.1 BACKGROUND Frooti, is the oldest and one of the most successful mango based drink in India. The brand, Frooti belong to Parle Agro India Pvt. Ltd. Parle Products was founded in 1929 and was owned by the Chauhan family of Vile Parle, Mumbai. The original Parle Company was split into three separate companies owned by the different factions of the original Chauhan family3,5
  

Parle Products, led by Vijay, Sharad and Anup Chauhan (owner of the brands Parle-G, Melody, Mango Bite, Poppins, Monaco and KrackJack) Parle Agro, led by Prakash Chauhan and his daughters Schauna, Alisha and Nadia (owner of the brands such as Frooti and Appy) Parle Bisleri, led by Ramesh Chauhan

Parle Agro started operations in 1984 and Frooti was the first product to be rolled out of Parle Agro in 1985. Parle Agro later diversified into bottled water (1993), plastic packaging (1996) and confectionary (2007). Parle Agro Pvt. Ltd operates under three major business verticals3,5


Beverages – fruit drinks, nectars, juice, sparkling drinks (includes brands like Foooti, Appy, Appy Fizz, Grappo Fizz, LMN, Saint, Cafe Cuba)

 

Water – packaged drinking water (Includes Bailley packaged drinking water) Foods – confectionery (Includes Mintrox, Buttercop), snacks (Includes Hippo)

2.2 HISTORY Frooti is the first fruit drink in India to be offered in Tetra-pak. It was launched in a green rectangular Tetra-pak as a ready-to-serve mango drink in 1985. The Tetra-pak caught the attention of consumers who readily accepted Frooti, as a tasty Mango Drink in a smart packaging which could be carried conveniently as well. Initially the drink was positioned as a kids drink. It was also offered as an alternative to the carbonated soft drinks. Frooti was promoted with the famous tag-line “Fresh-n-juicy” which enjoys amazing Brand Recall till date. With the advent of mango based drinks in India by global players like Coca-cola and Pepsi in the nineties, the sales of Frooti started to decline. Parle Agro tried to experiment with an orange and pineapple variant of Frooti but failed miserably. It also tried to change the positioning of Frooti from kids to young adults by offering YO! Frooti variant came with a slim paper pack targeted at youth but it did not help revive the sales figures 4,7 In order to revive the sales of Frooti, one of the most famous marketing campaigns “Digen Verma” campaign (Fig. 4) was launched in 20014,7 . This created lot of excitement in the market but the campaign was not followed up and the hype was not translated to long term brand building. In 2004, Frooti was launched in a triangular 65 ml pack to expand the reach and make it affordable (Fig. 5). Facing pressure from competing brands like Maaza and Slice, Frooti tried to reposition the brand again by launching the “Why Grow Up” campaign in 2011 (Fig – 6).

It modified the design of packaging as well as the logo with improved graphics for targeting people who are “young at heart”. In 2013, Parle Agro roped in Shahrukh Khan (Fig 7), the Bollywood celebrity to endorse Frooti in order to reach a wider cross-section of consumers and it re-adopted its famous tag-line “Fresh and Juicy”8 . 6

2.3 SWOT Analysis of Frooti8 (Table 1) Strengths: 1) Frooti has got a strong brand equity and high brand awareness in India 2) Pioneer in introducing packaged mango drink in India. 3) Efficient distribution network- readily available. 4) First to introduce Tetrapack and PET bottles packaging in NCSD (NonCarbonated Soft Drinks) category. 5) Wide range of packaging in different quantities (65ml, 200 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L) Weaknesses: 1) Frooti is available only in Mango flavor. 2) No brand extension inspite of having strong brand equity. 3) Frooti is not considered healthy compared to fruit juices. 4) Less visibility and availability of Frooti in the market. 5) Margin given to retailers is less compared to competitors. 6) Frooti is too closely associated to kids.

6) Healthy Drink - has Vitamin-A 7) Been around for a long time. 8) Availability in more than 20 countries Opportunities: 1) Huge untapped market in NCSD category which is currently occupied by unorganized retailers. 2) Potential for brand extension considering the strong brand equity of Frooti. 3) Market share of NCSD category growing at a high rate of 35% yoy9 4) Consumers becoming more health conscious, preferring NCSD drinks compared to Carbonated Soft Drinks. 5) Returnable glass bottles distribution category not yet fully exploited.

Threats: 1) Competition from global giants with large distribution network like Coca Cola and Pepsi. 2) Fruit Juice segment growing at a high rate of 15-18%10 . 3) Presence of huge unorganized market. 4) Consumers becoming more health conscious and preferring fruit juices over fruit based drinks.

3. Competition
The direct competitors for Frooti in the non-carbonated mango based drinks segment are Slice (26% market share) and Maaza (43% market share). Frooti also faces indirect competition from other mango based products such as Juices, Squashes, Shakes and Pulp based drinks. However, as the NCSD mango based drinks segments continue to grow at a rate of 30% -35%, we will consider Slice and Maaza only as the most significant competitors. Below we analyze some of the strengths and weaknesses of the two brands.
Slice Strengths 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Katrina Kaif celebrity endorsement Large marketing budget Widespread distribution network Pepsi refrigerators Available in glass bottles
11

Maaza 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Tastes closest to real mangoes Positioned as a substitute for mango Widest retail and distribution network Availability of coke refrigerators Available in glass bottles Mango milkshakes in tetrapaks

Weaknesses

1. Taste not the best – Too sweet 1. Weak celebrity endorsement 2. Relatively young brand 3. Lower brand equity 4. Not positioned properly 12 Table 2: Strengths and Weaknesses of Slice and Maaza

The mango based drinks essentially falls into habitual buying behavior. The products have low differentiation and consumers display picking behavior. The most likely determinant apart from availability and preference is advertising. Over the years Maaza has positioned itself as a substitute for mangoes. On the other hand Slice has repositioned itself by highlighting the sensual aspects of mangoes and appealing to a slightly older audience (Table 3)
Maaza13 Maaza Lau Aam Ki Paas Bujhao – Was positioned as a substitute for mangoes Har Mausam Aam – Targeted towards increasing off-season sales , again reinforcing the product as a substitute for mangoes Slice14 Aamasutra Campaign – Launched with an appeal to sensual aspect of mangoes Aamasutra Relaunch – Designed to give the consumer a differentiated experience, roped in Katrina Kaif – Led to 20% increase in sales

Har Mausam Aam with an element of romance – Aamasutra New Tagline – “Iske saamne sab feeka Bollywood starts as brand ambassadors to connect padh jaeyga” – An attempt to re-position the brand younger audience and couples (Fig 8) towards actual users (Fig 9)
Table 3: Ad-campaigns of Maaza and Slice over the years

Lesser the market share, the more visibility the company must try to achieve in such a market (shout more). This has exactly been Frooti‟s Strategy where they have been increased their marketing budget by 40% and roped in Bollywood celebrity Shah Rukh Khan 8

4. Channel
Successful Value delivery is an integral part of any business. Marketing channel (also referred as trade channel or distribution channel) of Frooti consists of a set of intermediaries including Wholesalers and Retailers. Parle Agro has a vast distribution network throughout the country to reach the consumers. Further, it has entered into a franchisee agreement with Keventer Agro to manufacture, package, distribute Fig 10: Distribution Network and market its brands: Frooti, Appy Fizz and Bailley Packaged Drinking Water mostly in the eastern parts of India. This will further strengthen its distribution channel and help it compete with global counterparts like Coca Cola and Pepsi Co. Being a Low-involvement product Push Strategy is essential as there is low brand loyalty in this category, and product benefits are well understood. The extensive distributor network is necessary to reach the rural market which is still a significant size in rural India. Returnable Glass Bottles (RGB) are less costly than Plastic bottles (PET), thus RGB‟s are necessary to penetrate into the rural market. Parle Agro

Tetrapack 39%

PET Bottles 39%

Returnabl e Glass bottles 22%

has a limited number of RGB Fig- 11 Packaging Preference based on Consumer Surveys manufacturing units and is planning to expand it aggressively. So, the packaging also plays an important role in reaching the consumer. Also, with other global players in the market it is important to have a loyal distribution network. The margins and incentives offered have to be competitive to maintain a consistent distribution to the consumers. Diverse Multi-Channel marketing like developing tie-ups with eateries, fastfood joints and restaurants will be vital to reach a wider customer-base. So Parle Agro will have to penetrate their distribution channels more aggressively to increase their market share in this highly competitive product category.

5. Consumer
Consumer analysis and market research
Our aim was to obtain first-hand information the mango-based drinks from the consumers. The research was carried out on urban consumers. This was done in order to identify, understand and analyze needs, brand associations, brand perceptions and buying behavior. Our approach to this research followed the following flow-chart.

Consumer Research

Pilot Study

Blind Test

Consumer Survey

Retailer Survey

Depth Interview

For every test/survey, we have adhered to the following methodology    Data Collection Data Analysis Data Evaluation

5.1 PILOT STUDY
As a first step of market research, a Pilot Study was conducted. The aim was to identify the brand associations that consumers had about Frooti. Furthermore, we also got an insight into the desired attributes of their ideal mango-based drink, in an order of their preference. Using the most common attributes that we came across during the pilot study is shown below in the form of a WORD CLOUD.

Fig 12: Word

Cloud of brand associations obtained from Pilot Survey

5.2 BLIND TEST
Next a Blind Test was conducted with fifteen randomly chosen consumers. We made them taste Slice, Maaza and Frooti from three identical, yet unmarked, glasses – so that, they had no way of knowing which drink they were tasting. This was followed by a short questionnaire. The aim was to determine whether the difference between brands that exist, is actual or psychological. The response obtained from the blind test helped us determine the following:  Most preferred mango-based drink based on the perception and the actual taste.

Perception: Favourite Slice Brand 9%

Most Preferred Drink (Actual) Slice
17%
Maaza 50%

Frooti 55%

Maaza 36%

Frooti 33%

 Accuracy of identification of brands.

Accuracy of Brand Prediction
Frooti 36% Slice 27%

Maaza 37%

From the blind test it is evident that there is no significant difference between Slice, Maaza and Frooti since the accuracy of identifying the brands was less than 40%. Also, the preferred drink according to taste was Maaza, whereas according to the cognitive association Frooti was the most preferred drink. Hence we can safely infer that the difference that „exists‟ is more psychological than actual.

5.3 CONSUMER SURVEY
Based on the attributes that we obtained from the Pilot Study, we designed a more detailed questionnaire. The aim was to get a holistic understanding of consumer behavior in the choice of the product. So we floated this questionnaire among consumers and received a total of twentyfour responses. The Consumer Analysis provided the following insights into consumer behavior:  The three mango drinks have been rated on the following important attributes : Taste, Concentration, Color, Availability and Packaging.

Ratings of Important Attributes

5.4 RETAILER SURVEY
We personally interviewed three retailers to get a better understanding of the distribution channels of Slice, Maaza and Frooti, margins and deals offered to them by the companies, and the relative sales of the product(s) that they stock their supplies with. The major findings, from this survey, were as follows:    Order of preference in non-carbonated drinks category - Minute maid, Maaza, fresh mango shake and then other mango drinks Space in retail outlets is a constraint – Most shops stock the product they receive first and Frooti‟s supply is the most erratic of the three brands Frooti provides fridge for storage but only above minimum sales criteria Margins in Frooti are slightly lower

5.5 DEPTH INTERVIEW
We rounded up our Exploratory Research with eight Depth Interviews. The aim was to identify distinct consumer personas. The exact transcript of one of the depth interviews has been appended in Exhibit. After a qualitative analysis of the transcripts, we clustered the similar traits together and successfully defined the following three character personas:-

14

Character Persona 1 Pooja is in her early twenties. She has been a core Frooti-loyalist since childhood, but has now developed a liking for aerated and alcoholic beverages. Whenever she has a craving for something chilled to quench her thirst, she prefers to go for a Frooti. Her brand loyalty is such that even though she detests the fruit, Frooti is something that she enjoys. Character Persona 2 Maaz is a school going kid who is very active in his sports and extra-curricular activities. He likes gaming and playing football. He wishes his mother would give him a chilled glass of Frooti every time he comes back home tired from practice. But she insists on him having a cup of hot chocolate milk as its healthier and it reduces the risk of cold and cough. He would love to try different variants and flavours of fruit based drinks. Character Persona 3 Anand is a business executive in his late thirties who spends most of his time at work. sipping many cups of coffee keeps him going through the day. However he attends a lot of corporate meetings and social gatherings where he consumes alcoholic beverages and rarely aerated drinks. He used to drink fruit based drinks when growing up, but he does not associate to them anymore. He consumes fruit juices to some extent after work outs at gym but finds mango based drinks extremely childish.

5.6 DECISION-MAKING UNITS (DMUs)
For Frooti, there are three major decision-making units, namely:   Parents/Guardians, deciding and purchasing for their children Teenagers, who decide for themselves but use their parents‟ money for purchase Adults, who decide and pay for their own purchase

Parents/

Guardians

DMU
Teenagers

Adults

5.6.1 NEED RECOGNITION The drive or motivation towards the purchase of the product, like any other, can be broadly classified into two:   Internal Stimulus External Stimulus

15

Some internal factors that influence the need for Frooti, as inferred from our exploratory research, were thirst, exhaustion or a natural craving for the drink. Some of the external factors that influence the consumption of Frooti, identified from the research, were advertisements, shop displays and the urge to drink when one sees someone else drinking the same.
Along with food 9% Escape the heat 17% Quench My thirst 17%

Refreshment/ Ta s te 57%

Pie chart showing the need for purchasing among the consumers 5.6.2 PURCHASING BEHAVIOR Frooti is a low involvement product. While some consumers find absolutely no difference among the related brands, a few habitual consumers can recognize some considerable differences. While the former fall into the category of impulse buying or variety seeking behavior, the latter are the brand loyalists. Children are usually the variety seeking type while teenagers and adults are habitual buyers.

6. Summary
        Frooti has a strong brand connect and brand perception As a product Maaza is superior in taste and flavor, based on the expectancy value model Frooti needs to widen its distribution network and maintain consistency in delivery Most consumers prefer to „Have it on the go‟ Fruiti falls in the Low involvement purchase segment with a considerable percent in habitual/picking behaviour Frooti as a brand is highly associated with childhood Different tests and surveys depicted that although the product is very similar, but the perceived differences are significant The current ad campaign for all the three brands have a strong brand recollection among the consumers

It uses strategy, data, and effective communications to integrate the quality discipline into the culture and activities of the organization. 1.2 Background of TQM: The TQM concept was developed based on the teachings of American management consultants, including W. Edwards Deming, Joseph M. Juran, and Armand V. Feigenbaum.[4]Originally, these consultants had short-term success in the United States.

Coca Cola

...Tanya Dhingra 2014300 Ankit Rawat 2014339 1. GLOBAL BEVERAGE MARKET SCENARIO The global beverage market has been forecast to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% over the next five years, to reach a market value of $1,347 billion by 2017. The global beverage industry's rising product demand, not much affected by the currents of global recession, bears testimony to its unyielding growth throughout. Until recently, the beverages market was divided simply between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. As consumers' tastes grew more sophisticated and demand surged for a variety of beverage options catering to lifestyle changes and health concerns, the beverages industry has responded with a dizzying array of options to choose from. Products manufactured by the beverage industry include: bottled water, juice, sparkling and still drinks, syrups, nectars, ready-to-drink and regular teas and coffees, dairy drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, fruit powders, and alcoholic drinks such as beer, wine, cider and spirits. The industry experienced a CAGR of 2.3% for the period spanning 2007-2016. Industry consumption volumes increased with a CAGR of 2.4% between 2006 and 2010, to reach a total of 717,040.5 million litres in 2011. The soft drinks industry will continue to straddle two different worlds: the mature developed markets where growth has stagnated and developing markets where previously high growth rate has slowed, but still offer the greatest...

Marketing Research for Carbonated Industry

...various media with the aim of influencing people’s behavior towards the advertiser’s products and services at the lowest possible cost. (APCON, 2002). Frank (2005) defined advertising as the aim to persuade people to buy. Advertising is the dissemination of information concerning an idea, service or product to compel action in accordance with the intent of the advertiser. Advertising is any paid form of non-personal communication about an organization, product, service, or idea by an identified sponsor, (Alexander, 1965:9). The economic importance of advertising can’t be over emphasized. Advertising and promotions are an integral part of our social and economic system, evolving into a vital communications system that gives businesses and consumers the ability to deliver carefully prepared messages to target audiences. Expenditures in advertising and promotions have experienced tremendous growth in recent years. Between 1980 and 2002, their combined expenditure increased from $102 billion to $490 billion in the United States, (Belch & Belch, 2004:5). This represents a compound annual growth rate of 7.4%, and a substantial...

Flipkart

...marked his initiation into the sphere of e-commerce, and the journey for him has “just begun”. Many Indians today are embracing e-retailing with enthusiasm. Popular portals such as Flipkart are spearheading the conversion of offline shoppers into online bargain hunters. Adds Naveed, as an afterthought, “I felt Flipkart was the best option as the transaction was easy, and the variety of products was a bonus.” For Flipkart, this means the unlocking of a vast audience waiting to experience the joys and comfort of shopping online. Sachin Bansal, CEO and one of the co-founders of Flipkart (the other being Binny Bansal), is an ardent believer in the merits of customer service. “A simple desire to create a tailor-made product for the Indian consumer has grown into something beyond what we imagined,” Sachin muses. A quick glance at Flipkart's timeline shows it was to start as a price comparison platform, but there weren't enough e-commerce sites to compare. So, both the Bansals, who were colleagues at IIT-Delhi, and then at Amazon.com, thought, “why not start an e-commerce site?” That was the genesis of Flipkart. From an initial investment of $8,000, this humble seed of desire has germinated into a $100 million e-retailing favourite. The founders' passion for the...

Food Processing Industry in India

...in consumption patterns, especially in terms of food. Increasing incomes are always accompanied by a change in the food basket. The proportionate expenditure on cereals, pulses, edible oil, sugar, salt and spices declines as households climb the expenditure classes in urban India while the opposite happens in the case of milk and milk products, meat, egg and fish, fruits and beverages. For instance, the proportionate expenditure on staples (cereals, grams, pulses) declined from 45 per cent to 44 per cent in rural India while the figure settled at 32 per cent of the total expenditure on food in urban India. A large part of this shift in consumption is driven by the processed food market, which accounts for 32 per cent of the total food market. It accounts for US$ 29.4 billion, in a total estimated market of US$ 91.66 billion. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has estimated that the food processing sector has the potential of attracting US$ 33 billion of investment in 10 years and generate employment of 9 million person-days. The Government has formulated and implemented several Plan Schemes to provide financial assistance for setting up and modernizing food processing units, creation of infrastructure, support for research and...
