Need Gap Analysis of Cold Beverages Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool
The milk procurement in year 2006-2007 was 6.7 million Kg per day and the combined sales was Rs. 42.77 billion. Amul has managed to register double-digit value growth in Butter and Milk Powders. Moreover, it has launched Probiotic and Sugar-free Ice-cream during last year to cater to the growing health conscious segment. New range of chocolates with world-class packaging, under the brand name Amul Chocozoo, has been launched.
Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool Challenges: At present, the organized sector (both cooperative and private) and the traditional sector are catering to milk market in India. Recent changes in the preferences of the Indian consumer, attracted by supermarkets and malls, are heading towards a different retail format. This puts forth a challenge for dairy parlours that are a part of traditional retail sector. Competition is also on a rise with other cold beverages available in the market due to these changes in retailing. Amul is coming up with its own Amul Preferred Outlets (APOs) all across the country to fight such competition. Other challenges that add to the struggle of dairy industry include the recent ban on export of milk powder and massive loss in milk procurement due to rains and floods in June and August in 2006. The increase in international SMP prices from US$ 3000 per MT to US$ 5000 per MT due to the ban has resulted into an opportunity loss of realization of better prices that Indian dairy industry could have obtained due to removal of subsidy in Europe and a recent drought in Australia. The Brand Amul Kool Product The variants include flavoured milk, chocolate milk, Kool Caf in various packaging like glass bottles, cans, and tetra-packs in various sizes and flavours. Promotion It is promoted as a health and energetic drink. The name Kool suggests targeting the youth. Price The price range of its products or variants is Rs. 10.00 to Rs. 20.00. Place The product is made available at parlours, retail outlets, and kirana stores.
Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool also suggested probable research objectives. These research objectives were discussed thoroughly with Mr. J. Rajan, General Manager, GCMMF Ltd., Chennai. The research objectives selected are mentioned below. From the interactions with Mr. J. Rajan we found that he was deeply concerned about finding out not satisfactorily met needs by cold beverages category at present, especially by Pepsi and Coca Cola who are market leaders. The objective behind this as understood by research team is that Amul Kool wants to target the market served by Pepsi and Coca Cola. If Amul Kool can capture a significant pie of their (Pepsi/Coca-Cola) market and increase the market at the same time, Amul Kool would have a sizeable market to serve. Association study and user imagery were seen as important tools to suggest marketing strategies for the above mentioned market segment.

Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool Based on the research and business objectives, a cross sectional study was carried out that represents a snapshot at a point of time. The research comprised qualitative primary research and quantitative primary research. The information collection was done broadly at three levels. Following is the brief of the research methodology.
00
BrandScan 2007 Continuous monitoring on conduction of the games to ensure validity of the data collected
2.1.1
Objective of this phase of the study was to gain deeper understanding of various needs of cold beverages while purchasing. It was the beginning of the understanding of consumer buying behaviour regarding cold beverages. One of the objectives of this study was to identify the broad product attributes that are desired by the respondents. The overall consumer behaviour and attitude were studied.
13
Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool 2.1.1.1 Qualitative Exploratory Research Phase a) In-depth interviews: 11 In-depth interviews were conducted. There was an indicative list of questions used to facilitate and guide the interview process. They were aimed at giving a direction to the interviews Initial few questions were closed ended to put interviewee on ease. These were followed by open-ended questions. b) Focused Group Discussions: 12 focused group discussions were conducted. Each group had 5 to 8 respondents. Respondents were users and non users of Amul Kool, as well as those who dont consume any of cold beverages at all. Two moderators were present for each of the FGD. Output of the Phase: From this phase, three sub category of need have been identified. They are: a) Functional Benefits, b) Experiential or Emotional Purchase Drivers, c) Occasion-driven Purchase Drivers. From this phase total 15 functional benefits, 25 experiential purchase drivers, and 14 occasion-driven purchase drivers have been found out. The list of these identified needs is attached as Annexure A. 2.1.1.2 Quantitative Exploratory Research Phase On the basis of the output from Qualitative Exploratory Research Phase, all three types of needs parameters were included in the preliminary questionnaires. These were reduced to 8 functional benefits, 14 experiential purchase drivers, and 10 occasion-driven purchase drivers. The same are attached as an annexure B. The preliminary questionnaires have been conducted to 80 respondents each. Factor analysis was used extensively at this stage. Factor Analysis was done on data obtained from the questionnaires to reduce the number of total variables. Output of the Factor Analysis has been attached as an annexure C.
14
Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool Output of the Phase: From Factor Analysis 4 functional benefits, 6 experiential purchase drivers, and 7 occasion-driven purchase drivers have been identified for further study. See annexure C for the list containing these needs/factors. 2.1.1.3 Game Design In this phase, games were developed to collect required data as identified from Factor Analysis output of the previous phase. Care was taken to ensure that games were sufficiently disguised. These were designed keeping target segment and theme of stall in mind. The objective was primarily to find association of Amul Kool and other brands with benefits, attributes and occasion of use of cold beverages, need gap analysis and user imagery. Though games were designed with the primary objective of data collection, other aspects like entertainment for the respondents and increasing the involvement of respondents were also taken into consideration. Output of the Phase: A detailed description of games with their research objectives has been attached as an annexure D.
2.1.2
The BrandScan stall was designed with the theme of Railway Platform. The theme was selected with the information needs in view and fit with the nature of disguised games. The games were closely monitored to ensure that they are disguised and the responses are valid. It was also made sure that only data from target segment get recorded. Output of the Phase: Essential data from each game has been captured with detailed demographic description of each of the respondent.

Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool Key Observations (3.1.1): a) The segment is closely associated and dominated by carbonated beverages. b) All brands having a high ToM are brands which are heavily and continuously advertised. 3.1.2 Unaided Recall People were asked to write all names that they can think of or recollect from the category cold beverages. The results, given ToM scores, were surprising as Amul Kool scored higher than brands like Real, Tropicana, Frooti, and other such beverages which we earlier classified as juices or semi-juices. Thus, a very small section of response set i.e. approximately 20 per cent associate juices and semi-juices with the cold beverages segment. Others are either unaware or think of it as a different category, with the latter being more likely. Interpreting the graph below, Carbonated Drinks dominated again as Top six places were occupied by them. Coca-Cola and Pepsi dominated with 96 per cent and 94 per cent of respondents recalling them. Thumbs up came third with 47 per cent, followed by Limca (35 per cent), Maaza (33 per cent) and Mountain Dew (25 per cent). Amul Kool had 24 per cent of the people recalling it.

Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool Key Observations (3.1.2): a) People know about the brand Amul Kool. b) People associate Amul Kool more with cold beverages when compared to other health-oriented beverages like juices and semi-juices being associated with coldbeverages segment. 3.1.3 Brand Recognition Aided Recall using brand names: The results are consistent with popular beliefs that the national brands have high recognition levels and almost everyone knows them. All Brands, except Nandini a regional milk brand, enjoyed more than 90 per cent recall. Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Limca and Frooti enjoyed 100 per cent recognition, while most others languished in late 90s (97+). Nandini was the lowest with 58 per cent, then Amul Kool with 93 per cent and finally the two juice brands Real and Tropicana having 94 per cent recognition. The numbers support our earlier argument that juices are not seen by consumers in their mind as cold beverages (though we will later see that their behaviour considers them as substitutes), but relatively Amul Kool is.

10.1% Rank 5
7.9% Rank 6
Brand was a clear rank one with 37 per cent ranking it first and 17 per cent ranking it second. A drink which relaxes you was not far off as a benefit with 46 per cent people ranking it within top two ranks and 70 per cent within top three ranks. (This might need a re-look at the campaign energy or relaxation). Habitual and rejuvenation were a close third and fourth respectively, with 37 per cent ranking habitual in first or second compared to 36 per cent for rejuvenation. What made habitual a third rank was the cumulative percentage till third rank which in its case was 53 per cent and 47 per cent was rejuvenation. Socialization is ranked fifth and style sixth. Please note that the research team feels that styles ranking should not be taken at face value as most people are not up-front about their hedonistic pleasures especially something like style from a cold beverage product. The six parameters are ranked in the following table based on the exercise done above. It can be seen clearly that brand is the top ranked benefit, whereas style turns out to be lowest ranked benefit.

Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6
Key Observation (3.2.2): a) Brand and Relaxation are the most sought after experiential benefits. 3.2.3 Occasion-driven reasons for consumption Since occasions are not a trade-off choice which a consumer makes but a series of events which most individuals go through, we used rating scale to measure the likelihood of consumption of beverages on these occasions. We used seven broad definitions of occasions to encompass most occasions a consumer buys a beverage. The occasions identified were: With Breakfast, as an alternative to food (hungry with no time to eat or cannot eat), while traveling, with meals, in-between work, as snacks supplement and in parties. These seven events broadly encompass all touch points of the consumer with this category. Occasions Alternative to food With breakfast While Traveling In Parties Along with meals In Between Work Snacks Supplement Average Rating 3.16 3.43 6.93 7.76 4.34 4.76 6.28 Standard Deviation 2.537 2.785 2.620 2.425 2.538 2.403 2.640 2 2 7 8 4 5 7 1 1 10 10 5 5 8 Median Mode
25
Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool Parties and Traveling were highest rated occasions for consumption of cold beverages, the mode in these two cases was 10 signifying that maximum people rated these occasions as Always having a cold beverage at a party or while traveling. Also, median was 8 for parties and 7 for traveling with averages just lower than this number. Thus, meanmedian-mode analysis rates these two occasions as the most likely for the maximum number of people. (Please note that just a mean or median is only half a story without the other two in rating analysis). The other highly ranked category was Snacks supplement with a mode of 8, median of 7 and an average of 6.3 suggesting extreme values on the lower end. This means that though most people have beverages with snacks, there are some who completely do not. Thus we can say that Most people are likely to have beverages with snacks while a few will hardly ever. In Between work and along with meals occasions follow next in frequency of beverage consumption, mean-median-mode of around 5. But while, in between work has Mean greater than Median, along with work has Mean less than Median, suggestion that in between work has a rightward skew while along with work has a leftward skew. Thus, we would rank In-between work higher in terms of likelihood of purchase of cold beverages. Alternative to food and With Breakfast were the lowest ranked with mode of 1 and median of 2. We feel that consumers perceiving juices and semi-juices as different from cold beverages in their minds is one of the reasons for low rating to with breakfast and our exploratory research does show With breakfast as a lucrative occasion to stimulate consumption. This also justifies the launch of largetetra pack, similar to those of juices, for Amul Kool.

Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool This table is generated by our research groups data analysis. The table gives us the likelihood of consumption of cold beverages in this situation. Cold beverages close association with carbonated drinks and exclusion of juices and semi-juices are seen as main reasons of with breakfast occasion ranked so low in consumers mind, though there usage pattern study should put it much higher. Key Observations (3.2.3): a) Travel and parties are most likely occasions for beverage consumption. b) This is followed by snacks supplement. c) Lucrative and unexplored segment is in-between work.

Table viii : Trend shown by functional based benefits for various brands
As we identified earlier that Taste and Thirst quenching are the most important functional benefit purchase drivers. The table above clearly demonstrates that while Amul Kool enjoys the same taste perception as the majority of the category (thus, no point of difference just a point of parity), it is the lowest rated in its ability to quench thirst. All the three figures, mean-median-mode, are the lowest in the category when it comes to thirst quenching ability. In terms of health benefits, its highest rated in the category along with Real. Amul Kools association with milk and Reals association with juice i.e. both of their association with natural and healthy products seem to give them this high rating. But, how relevant is this to the consumer is to be seen as health does not seem to be amongst the top 2 drivers in this segment. A similar story unfolds in energy where Real and Amul Kool lead the category because of their association with fresh juices and milk respectively. But again, energy is the lowest ranked functional purchase driver and thus, a question mark on how much will this competitive advantage lead to sales. The following table tells us about Amul Kools performance on these benefits: Benefit Taste Thirst Quenching Health Energy Consumer Rank 1 2 3 4 Amul Kool (10 point scale) Average as compared to others Lowest Highest Highest
This table illustrates that Amul Kool is rated high on those benefits that are less important for a respondent while buying a cold beverage. 29

Table x : Trend shown by experiential or emotional based benefits for various brands
The above table is the crux of the matter in understanding position of Amul Kool vis-vis other brands as Experiential benefit in low-ticket, low involvement FMCG products is more important than functional benefits, and this is where successful brands in the category seem to engage the consumer. The high rating of market leaders Pepsi and Coca-Cola in this segment is further testimony to that. The following table illustrates Amul Kools performance when evaluated based on the trends observed above.

Table xii : Trend shown by occasion-driven reasons for consumption for various brands
As can be seen in the above table, Amul Kool is rated very low at traveling and parties. Pepsi and Coca Cola are the most preferred brand at such occasions. On the other hand, Amul Kool is one of the most preferred beverages during breakfast. The table shown below compares Amul Kool with respect to the relative importance of these occasions. Breakfast supplement is the only occasion where it is above the competition convincingly, probably because of it being a milk product. But as we see, in the two most likely occasions of consumption, traveling and parties, Amul Kool ranks the lowest. As a supplement to snacks and as a beverage between work, Amul Kool meets the category average. This table also shows no clear point of differentiation except its association with health due to it being a milk product. Thus, the advantage Amul Kool enjoys is because of a specific attribute rather than successful branding or positioning.

Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool Unstructured, indirect form of questioning has been used to encourage respondents to project their underlying motivations, beliefs, and attitudes for brand Amul Kool. Five open ended questions were used covering Brand Meaning to customers, describing typical user of Amul Kool, and Brand Personality. 3.4.2.1 Brand Association The following table illustrates various associations put forth by the respondents themselves and other cold beverages that they can recall under these associations. %age of Category Milk Healthy Refreshing Taste Alternative to soft drinks Appetizing Negative Opinion Misc. 1.38 1.38 1.38 32.41 ----Real ------------------------Respondents 33.10 17.24 7.59 5.52 Brands of cold beverages (other than Amul Kool) ----Real, Tropicana, Nandini, Frooti Milk, Frooti, Real Frooti, Appy Fizz, Coca Cola, Real, Nandini ----Other beverages not included in survey Lassi, Bournvita, Horlicks Local fruits juice -----
As we can see in the above table, milk is the foremost association (33.1 per cent) that comes into respondents conscious when they think about Amul Kool. This association is shared by Lassi, Bournvita, and Horlicks with Amul Kool. Looking at the needs these other drinks serve we can conclude that milk association is unique to Amul Kool. Another significant association that comes out of this research is that it is perceived to be a healthy drink (17.24 per cent). But the same is also associated with Real, Tropicana, Nandini, and Frooti which are noncarbonated cold beverages. Hence this association is not unique to Amul Kool and does not give any significant advantage over its competitors. Two other associations that formed a decent part were refreshing and taste (association shared with Frooti, Appy Fizz, Coca Cola, Real, and 51
BrandScan 2007 T. A. Pai Management Institute, Manipal
Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool Nandini) which constituted 7.59 per cent and 5.52 per cent respectively. The negative opinion category included comments like poor branding and not so cool drink. Other associations obtained are alternative to soft drinks and usage as an appetizer. Miscellaneous category involved some comments which do not conclude anything substantial. 3.4.2.2 Celebrity Association When asked about celebrity that goes well with Amul Kool, the responses received were as follows in the table below. Category Sportsman Actors Glamour Actors - Body Builders Actors Credibility Politicians %age of Respondents 43.62 26.60 14.89 9.57 5.32
Please note here that the classification of actors into three sub-categories has subjectivity attached to it. Glamour includes actors who have been popular for their style statements and fashion oriented approach. Body builders include actors who have received fame for their physique. And, credibility includes actors who are known for making calculated and sensible statements in public 43.62 per cent of our respondents associate sports personalities (Sachin Tendulkar, Virendra Sehwag, Sania Mirza, and Harbhajan Singh) with brand Amul Kool possibly because most of them associate health with the brand. 26.6 per cent of them associate the glamorous actors (John Abraham, Priety Zinta, Hrithik Roshan, and Shah Rukh Khan) with the brand which goes against the perceived low association towards style in our previous analyses. The body builders (Sunny Deol, Dara Singh, and Salman Khan) form 14.89 per cent of the response which refers to those actors who are more popular for their physique. Other categories include actors who are considered to add credibility (Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, and Aamir Khan) to the products and politicians (Lalu Prasad Yadav, and Narendra Modi). 52

3.4.2.3 Brand Meaning The next table shows the response regarding the perception of Amul Kool as a brand. It tries to decipher the brand image that is built in the consumers minds. Category Healthy Milk Energetic Tasty Kool Refreshing Thirst Quencher Misc. %age of Respondents 22.46 20.29 7.97 4.35 3.62 2.90 2.17 42.03
The brand image goes along with the brand association as we observe that even in the table shown above, 22.46 per cent respond saying that Amul Kool is a healthy drink and 20.29 per cent recall milk as soon as they have to respond to the concept of Amul Kool. A few others (7.97 per cent) refer to it as an energetic drink. Other variables obtained are taste, Kool, refreshing, and thirst quencher. It is to be noted here that only 3.62 per cent of the respondents recall the term Kool when asked about the drink. Key Observations (3.4.2): a) Milk and health are highly associated with Amul Kool as obtained through projective technique. b) Sportspersons and actors of glamour world are highly associated celebrities. c) The brand Amul Kool means healthy and milky to respondents.
53
Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool
The views of the respondents are quite scattered, not pertaining to one of the categories in a big way. 16.67 per cent of the respondents feel that Amul Kool would be a cool person, where as 15.94 per cent think of it as a healthy human. The other observations are energetic, caring, stylish, unfashionable, old, and some other miscellaneous responses. Key Observation (3.4.3): a) Cool and healthy are the brand personalities associated with Amul Kool. 3.5.2 User Imagery User Imagery of a brand represents the most popular image of the users in the mind of customers. Ratings have been used to find out image of Amul Kool users on different attributes pairs through questionnaires. The method adopted to find the users image is third person projection. In the questionnaires respondents were asked to rate a user of Amul Kool on 9 pairs of parameters. The reason behind using a third person as a user is to avoid any response baseness. In our questionnaires respondents were given 7 point scale (point 4 as neutral). 54

4.1 CONCLUSIONS
RESEARCH OJECTIVE 1: To measure Brand Awareness and Category Recall Respondents are aware of the brand Amul Kool, however they do not closely associate it with the cold beverages category which is dominated by Pepsi and Coca Cola. Though, it shows a closer association relative to fruit juices, the brand recognition of Amul Kool is the lowest among the studied brands. This implies that Amul Kool does not figure in the consideration set of the majority of the consumers. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE 2: To Identify the Benefits and Purchase Drivers of Cold Beverages a) Taste and thirst quenching ability are the most sought after functional benefits in cold beverage. The other two benefits are health and energy. b) Brand and relaxation are the most important experiential purchase drivers. The others include habitual drinking, drinking for rejuvenation, socialization, and style. c) Most important occasion based drivers in cold beverages are parties and travelling. These are followed by usage as snacks supplement, in between work, along with the meals, with breakfast, and as an alternative to food. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE 3: To map the Brands on Benefits and Purchase Drivers a) Amul Kool shows a wide gap in satisfying the consumers thirst quenching need which is one of the most important functional benefits. Taste need is also not satisfactorily met. b) Relaxation need, considered to be an important purchase driver, is not satisfactorily met by Amul Kool. It is perceived as an average satisfier. It is also perceived that the consumption of Amul Kool is less frequent. c) Amul Kool is not at all perceived to be a party drink, which is one of the most preferred occasions for cold beverage consumption. Travelling is another important occasion but again Amul Kool is consumed merely.
57
Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool RESEARCH OBJECTIVE 4: To study Brand Association of Amul Kool a) Amul Kool is strongly and uniquely associated with health and milk though weakly associated with thirst quenching. Taste, an important functional benefit, is strongly associated with Frooti. b) Association of Amul Kool with relaxation and rejuvenation is somewhat near strong. Brand Name as a purchase driver is not highly rated for any brand. c) Amul Kool is weakly associated with occasions based drivers in cold beverages like parties and travelling. d) Sportspersons are the prominent celebrities associated with Amul Kool. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE 5: Brand Personality and User Imagery a) Amul Kool is being perceived by the consumers as a cool and healthy individual. b) Amul Kool as a personality is perceived as health-conscious and educated. Only these two characteristics have been identified with consensus by the consumers.
4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Projecting Amul Kool as a substitute to the carbonated drinks and fruit juices would be an apt move. Reason: The recognition of Amul Kool in cold beverages category is observed to be lower than the carbonated drinks and fruit juices. While buying cold beverages, consumers display routine response/programmed behaviour which results in automatic purchase based on little search and decision effort. Hence, we see a need of making customers associate Amul Kool with this category by projecting it as a substitute to the other drinks of this category. 2. Amul Kool needs to satisfy the thirst quenching benefit sought by the consumers, which might be done by re-looking at the contents and volume of the drink.
58
Need Gap Analysis of Cold Drink Consumers, Association Study of Brand Amul Kool & User Imagery of Amul Kool Reason: Thirst quenching is one of the prominent areas considered indispensable by respondents, and competitors like carbonated drinks have been already making use of this opportunity and rate highly on thirst quenching ability. 3. Another focus area can be promoting it as a drink for relaxation. Reason: Amul Kool has been perceived as a health and an energy drink, which are not preferred purchase drivers. Although the association of Amul Kool with relaxation is somewhat near strong, when compared with the other brands in the category, it has been rated comparatively lower. Relaxation being a very significant purchase driver should be a focus area for Amul Kool. 4. Travelling is an occasion that can be exploited for the purchase of Amul Kool. Reason: Travelling has emerged as the most important occasion for purchase of cold beverages. Amul Kool, perceived as a hunger-satisfying drink, can exploit this area by making use of this quality and projecting Amul Kool as a healthy travel partner. 5. Amul Kool can be developed as a regular drink by generating more occasions for its consumption. Reason: Amul Kool is not perceived to be used frequently by the respondents at present.
