 Innovation product, distribution & promotion Most profitable market share rather than the whole market!

How do we get there??

1. New product introduction 2. Improving the relative product quality 3. Increasing marketing expenditures relative to market growth

Strategies to gain market share

Launch the new variants, Indian consumers appreciate variety
Requires global marketing team approval

Work on the drink can

Eco-friendly materials and branding on the drink can Introduce an exciting new shape to create buzz

Add a touch more local to the promotion efforts

No more Indian Grand Prix sponsor other local racing events Establish an active Facebook India page crucial to connect with the target segment Robby Nash and Thierry Henry are less known figures - Virat Kohli and Karun Chandhok would create better brand associations

Increasing marketing expenditures

Indian grand prix uncertain in the coming years
Bigger promotional spends on local events - MRF Challenge car racing, college kart racing

Establish a larger presence on social media very low cost

No Facebook presence crucial to connect with the targeted segment. Social media gaming platforms

Thierry Henry, Robby Nash endorsements not relevant in India

Virat Kohli (cricketer) and Karun Chandhok (Formula 1 driver) establish a better connect with the local audience.

Vending machines and fridges in offices and BPOs in top cities Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore

Defending Market Share

Kotler quotes Sun Tzu : Leaders should not rely on the enemy not attacking, but have to become unassailable Improve customer service and experience
Setup a customer service call centre immediately address queries on quality & health concerns Cost of a 10 person call centre/month : USD 5000

Leverage new distribution network

Pass savings from new network to the retailers to gather optimum shelf space
