1.0: Introduction
1.1:- what

media is?

11

Media:

1. The different means of communicating information to reach large audiences is known as media. 2. In the arts, media (plural of medium) are the materials and techniques used by an artist to produce a work.

Origin of Media:-

Creation of the various forms of media

Newspapers & Magazines ~ 1880 Movies ~ 1910 Television ~ 1945 Cable Television ~ 1980's Satellite Television, Internet, and Digital Communication ~ End of the 20th

century.

12

In 1920, radio was first developed, primarily for use by the military, strictly for sending History of the Media - Old Radios messages from one location to another. David Stern off, the then-president of RCA, first had the idea to sell radio sets to consumers, or what were then called radio receivers. However, consumers needed a reason to buy radios, so RCA was the first to set up radio stations all over the country. Between 1920 and 1922, 400 radio stations were set up, starting with KBKA in Pittsburgh. Stations were also set up by universities, newspapers, police departments, hotels, and labor unions. By 1923, there were 600 radio stations across the United States, and $83 million worth of sets had been sold. The biggest difference in radio before and after 1923 was that the first advertising was not heard on the radio until 1923. RCA at the time was made up of four companies:

1.2:-Types of media
Basically media have only two types Electronic media Print media

But both of them comprise more categories, which is given below.

13

Electronic media:
Electronic media is very broader term. It means any media which performs its function electrically that is called electronic media .But my perspective related with marketing activities, so that why which media use for promote marketing activities are called electronic media. Those are T.V, Computers, Mobile technology, Digital displays, and web banners etc.

Television

Television is a widely used telecommunication medium for sending (broadcasting) and receiving moving images, either monochromatic ("black and white") or color, usually accompanied by sound.

"Television" may also refer specifically to a television set, television programming or television transmission. The word is derived from mixed Latin and Greek roots, meaning "far sight": Greek tele far, and Latin visio, sight (from video, vis- to see, or to view in the first person).

14

Digital displays

Display device is an output device for presentation of information for visual or tactile reception, acquired, stored, or transmitted in various forms. When the input information is supplied as an electrical signal, the display is called electronic display. Electronic displays are available for presentation of visual and tactile information. Tactile electronic displays (aka refreshable Braille display) are usually intended for the blind or visually impaired, they use electro-mechanical parts to dynamically update a tactile image (usually of text) so that the image may be felt by the fingers. Common applications for electronic visual displays are television sets or computer monitors

15

Web banner

A web banner or banner ad is a form of advertising on the World Wide Web. This form of online advertising entails embedding an advertisement into a web page. It is intended to attract traffic to a website by linking to the website of the advertiser. The advertisement is constructed from an image (GIF, JPEG, PNG), JavaScript program or multimedia object employing technologies such as Silverlight, Java, Shockwave or Flash, often employing animation or sound to maximize presence. Images are usually in a high-aspect ratio shape (i.e. either wide and short, or tall and narrow) hence the reference to banners. These images are usually placed on web pages that have interesting content, such as a newspaper article or an opinion piece.

The web banner is displayed when a web page that references the banner is loaded into a web browser. This event is known as an "impression". When the viewer clicks on the banner, the viewer is directed to the website advertised in the banner. This event is known as a "click through". In many cases, banners are delivered by a central ad server.

When the advertiser scans their logfiles and detects that a web user has visited the advertiser's site from the content site by clicking on the banner ad, the advertiser sends the content provider some small amount of money (usually around five to ten US cents). This payback system is often how the content provider is able to pay for the Internet access to supply the content in the first place.
16

Web banners function the same way as traditional advertisements are intended to function: notifying consumers of the product or service and presenting reasons why the consumer should choose the product in question, although web banners differ in that the results for advertisement campaigns may be monitored real-time and may be targeted to the viewer's interests. Many web surfers regard these advertisements as highly annoying because they distract from a web page's actual content or waste bandwidth. (Of course, the purpose of the banner ad is to attract attention and many advertisers try to get attention to the advert by making them annoying. Without attracting attention it would provide no revenue for the advertiser or for the content provider.) Newer web browsers often include options to disable pop-ups or block images from selected websites. Another way of avoiding banners is to use a proxy server that blocks them, such as Privoxy

17

Print media
Written advertising that may be included in everything from newspapers and magazines to direct mail, signs, and billboards. Printing is a process for reproducing text and image, typically with ink on paper using a printing press. It is often carried out as a large-scale industrial process, and is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing.

Bill boards Billboards have become an important part of business marketing. It has turned out to be an effective means of advertising a companys products and services. It
18

has also been widely used by television networks and movie producers in the promotion of new events in the entertainment industry. It has also been gradually adapted by politicians in political campaigns. Truly, billboards have a lot to offer us and here are some of these great offerings that Ill be discussing in this article.

Just like any marketing paraphernalia, when billboards convey the right message that suits your business, they actually have a forceful street level presence that is easily being noticed by motorists. They have this surprising element to grasp interest and get people talking about what they speak about. They have the ability to catch peoples attention at any time of the day especially when youre traveling, shopping or having a cup of coffee or a meal with your family and friends. Upon seeing these ads, these people who are potential clients easily absorb the messages. When you consider billboards as your marketing tools, you can reduce the advertising costs. They are indeed economical because there is no need for continuous production of these billboards. Only a few copies which will be situated in places that are easily accessed by many people are necessary. The fact that these billboard advertisements will show off daily is a must for advertisers because they can communicate effectively to a large extent. Billboards may just seem to be a small thing but they are actually the ones that help companies in making and keeping many clients.

Indeed, billboards are powerful visual graphics because the images and messages that they contain speak a thousand words. They are a visually dominant, stimulating advertising media. Compared to traditional media that add any number of pages or spots to hold many advertisers when necessary, billboards have certainly made advertising so easy. These things only manifest the good things that billboards bring to their viewers.

19

1.3:- what social media is ?

20

Social media are media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media use web-based technologies to transform and broadcast media monologues into social media dialogues. They support the democratization of knowledge and information and transform people from content consumers to content producers. Social media have been modernized to reach consumers in a new way: through the internet! Social media have become appealing to big and small businesses. Credible brands are utilizing social media to reach customers and to build or maintain reputation. As social media continue to grow, the ability to reach more consumers globally has also increased. Twitter, for example has expanded its global reach to Japan, Indonesia, and Mexico, among others. This means that brands are now able advertise in multiple languages and therefore reach a broader range of consumers. Social media have become the new "tool" for effective business marketing and sales. Popular networking sites including Myspace, Facebook and Twitter are social media most commonly used for socialization and connecting friends, relatives, and employees. The main advantages of media applications are:

they are user-created, developed or enhanced there is a community of interest built around them they do not require advanced technical knowledge multi-way communication is enabled they are participatory and interactive they are free or low cost to the end user they are infectious and fast-growing they are global

Examples Social media can take many different forms, including Internet forums, weblogs, social blogs, microblogging, wikis, podcasts, pictures, video, rating and social bookmarking. Technologies include: blogs, picture-sharing, vlogs, wall-postings, email, instant messaging, music-sharing, crowdsourcing, and voice over IP, to name a few. Many of these social media services can be integrated via social network aggregation platforms like Mybloglog and Plaxo.

21

1.4:-Media in India
Media in india initiated since the late 1700s with print media started in 1780.

Radio broadcasting initiated in 1927, and the screening of Auguste and Louis Lumire moving pictures in Bombay initiated during the July of 1895 is among the oldest and largest media of the world.

The period of emergency (19751977), declared by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, was the brief period when India's media was faced with potential government retribution.

In 2009, India had a total of 81,000,000 Internet userscomprising 7.0% of the country's population.

7,570,000 people in India also had access to broadband Internet as of 2009 making it the 12th largest country in the world in terms of broadband Internet users.

India also ranks 8th in the list of countries by number of television broadcast stations by 1997 statistics.

22

1.5:- SWOT Analysis of Media Industry

SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Using a SWOT analysis is a great way to break down and analyze a particular strategy.

STRENGTHS:
1. Media And Entertainment is one of the most booming sectors in India due to its vast customer reach. The various segments of the Media And Entertainment industry like television and film industry have a large customer base.

2. The growing middle class with higher disposable income has become the strength of the Media And Entertainment industry.

3. Change in the lifestyle and spending patterns of the Indian masses on entertainment.

4. Technological innovations like online distribution channels, web-stores, multi- and mega-plexes are complementing the ongoing revolution and the growth of the sector.

5. The low cost of production and high revenues ensure a good return on investment for Indian Media And Entertainment industry.

23

WEAKNESSES:

1. The Media And Entertainment sector in India is highly fragmented.

2. Lack of cohesive production & distribution infrastructure.

3. The lack of efforts for media penetration in lower socio-economic classes, where the media penetration is low.

OPPORTUNITIES:

1. The increasing interest of the global investors in the sector.

2. The media penetration is poor among the poorer sections of the society, offering opportunities for expansion in the area.

3. The nascent stage of the new distribution channels offers an opportunity for development.

4. Rapid de-regulation in the Industry.

5. Rise in the viewership and the advertising expenditure.

24

6. Technological innovations like animations, multiplexes, etc and new distribution channels like mobiles and Internet have opened up the doors of new opportunities in the sector.

THREATS:
1. Piracy, violation of intellectual property rights pose a major treat to the Media.

2. Lack of quality content has emerged as a major concern because of the 'Quickbuck' route being followed in the industry.

3. With technological innovations taking place so rapidly, the media sector is facing considerable uncertainty about success in the marketplace.

25

1.6:- what marketing is?

Marketing:
1. Marketing is an ongoing process of planning and executing of the marketing mix (Product, Price, Place, and Promotion) of products, services or ideas to create exchange between individuals and organizations. 2. 3. The techniques used to attract and persuade consumers The way in which a product or media text is sold to a target audience.

4. Marketing is the management process, which identifies, anticipates and supplies customer requirements efficiently and profitably. Marketing is a societal process which discerns consumers' wants, focusing on a product or service to fulfill those wants, attempting to move the consumers toward the products or services offered. Marketing is fundamental to any businesses growth. The marketing teams (marketers) are tasked to create consumer awareness of the products or services through marketing techniques. Unless it pays due attention to its products and services and consumers' demographics and desires, a business will not usually prosper over time.

Marketing tends to be seen as a creative industry, which includes advertising, distribution and selling. It is also concerned with anticipating the customers' future needs and wants, which are often discovered through market research. Essentially, marketing is the process of creating or directing an organization to be successful in selling a product or service that people not only desire, but are willing to buy. Therefore good marketing must be able to create a "proposition" or set of benefits for the end customer that delivers value through products or services.

26

Its specialist areas include: advertising and branding communication

database marketing

direct marketing

event organization global marketing international marketing internet marketing industrial marketing market research public relations retailing search engine marketing marketing strategy marketing plan strategic management

For a marketing plan to be successful, the mix of the four "Ps" must reflect the wants and desires of the consumers or Shoppers in the target market. Trying to convince a market segment to buy something they don't want is extremely expensive and seldom successful. Marketers depend on insights from marketing research, both formal and informal, to determine what consumers
27

want and what they are willing to pay for. Marketers hope that this process will give them a sustainable competitive advantage.

1.7:- Scope

of media in marketing communication

With the advent of media technologies grabbing marketing spaces, many brands can be seen embracing media for adding value to themselves.

In India we can see P&G, HINDUSTAN UNILEVER are the best example of companies of FMCG industry having a majority of their marketing efforts directed towards media.

It would be interesting to see how different companies are performing in media specifically in the Indian Ecosystem and document it in form of a report.

The revolution in the business marketing caused by the media and its related technologies demonstrate that media technologies are essential for the success of todays business enterprises.

Because of its ability to influence the thoughts and behaviors of consumers, Media is considered as a very powerful tool for marketing efforts.

28

 India is becoming the leading destination of global investment in media so that to attract and remain costumer. Various studies and figures reveal that Indian Media industry has significant potential of growth stored in it.

Media plays a vital role in the success of marketing efforts.

2.0- FMCG Sector (overview)

What is FMCG?

FMCG is an acronym for Fast Moving Consumer Goods, which refer to things that we buy from local supermarkets on daily basis, the things that have high turnover and are relatively cheaper. The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy with a total market size in excess of US$ 13.1 billion. It has a strong MNC presence and is characterised by a well established distribution network, intense competition between the Organised and unorganised segments and low operational cost. Availability of key raw materials, cheaper labour costs and presence across the entire value chain gives India a competitive advantage. The FMCG market is set to treble from US$ 11.6 billion in 2003 to US$ 33.4 billion in 2015. Growth is also likely to come from consumer 'upgrading' in the matured product categories. With 200 million people expected to shift to processed and packaged food by 2010, India needs around US$ 28 billion of investment in the foodprocessing industry. FMCG is the fourth largest sector in the Indian Economy with a total market size of Rs. 60,000 crores. FMCG sector generates 5% of total factory employment in the country and is creating employment for three million people, especially in small towns and rural India
29

2.3:-FMCG sector in India

India is one of the largest emerging markets, with a population of over one billion. India is one of the largest economies in the world in terms of purchasing power and has a strong middle class base of 300 million. Around 70 percent of the total households in India (188 million) resides in the rural areas. The total number of rural households are expected to rise from 135 million in 2001-02 to 153 million in 2009-10. This presents the largest potential market in the world. The annual size of the rural FMCG market was estimated at around US$ 10.5 billion in 2001-02. With growing incomes at both the rural and the urban level, the market potential is expected to expand further. The Indian FMCG sector with a market size of US$13.1 billion is the fourth largest sector in the economy. A well-established distribution network, intense competition between the organized and unorganized segments characterize the sector. FMCG Sector is expected to grow by over 60% by 2010.

It has been estimated that FMCG sector will rise from around Rs 56,500 crores in 2009 to Rs 92,100 crores in 2012.

2.2:-SWOT

Analysis of FMCG Sector

Strengths:

1. Low operational costs

2. Presence of established distribution networks in both urban and rural areas.

3. Presence of well-known brands in FMCG sector

Weaknesses:

1. Lower scope of investing in technology and achieving economies of scale, especially in small sectors.

Opportunities:

1. Untapped rural market.

2. Rising income levels, i.e. increase in purchasing power of consumers.

3. Large domestic market- a population of over one billion.

4. Export potential.

5. High consumer goods spending.

Threats:
1. Removal of import restrictions resulting in replacing of domestic brands.

2. Slowdown in rural demand.

32

3.Tax and regulatory structure.

2.4 Primary players:The structure

The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy and creates employment for three million people in downstream activities. Within the FMCG sector, the Indian food processing industry represented 6.3 per cent of GDP and accounted for 13 percent of the country's exports in 2003-04. A distinct feature of the FMCG industry is the presence of most global players through their subsidiaries (HUL, P&G, Nestle), which ensures new product launches in the Indian market from the parent's portfolio.

MD Corporate address :-- Antonio helio wazsyk :-- new delhi

Nestls relationship with India dates back to 1912, when it began trading as The Nestl Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company (Export) Limited, importing and selling finished products in the Indian market. After Indias independence in 1947, the economic policies of the Indian Government emphazised the need for local production. Nestl responded to Indias aspirations by forming a company in India and set up its first factory in 1961 at Moga, Punjab, where the Government wanted Nestl to develop the milk economy. Progress in Moga required the introduction of Nestls Agricultural Services to educate, advise and help the farmer in a variety of aspects. From increasing the milk yield of their cows through
36

improved dairy farming methods, to irrigation, scientific crop management practices and helping with the procurement of bank loans. Nestl set up milk collection centres that would not only ensure prompt collection and pay fair prices, but also instil amongst the community, a confidence in the dairy business. Nestl has been a partner in India's growth for over nine decades now and has built a very special relationship of trust and commitment with the people of India.

2.6:-ROLE OF MEDIA IN FMCG SECTOR

Role of media in FMCG sector

It seems to me that when it comes to bringing media together with fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), companys campaigns have to do three things:
46

(1) drive brick & mortar sales. (2) offer a way to track and measure those sales. (3) keep consumers socializing with your media long enough that their increased expenditures cover the cost of your media campaign. In a word, FMCG marketers should be choosing media campaigns based on how they can meet the objectives of what a FMCG is: increased sales (planning costs + fulfillment costs) = ROI Today, the Media has a very big role to play in all FMCG business and marketing circles. media refers to bringing together of various activities which help in integrating technology, interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos and audio into a seamless entity. Today,s media is fundamentally different from traditional media like newspapers, books, and radio. The major success of all media depends on interactions between people as the discussion and integration of words builds shared-meaning, using technology as a conduit. It caters to a wide spectrum of topics. With reference to Internet marketing, Media means a collective group of web properties that are driven by users. Examples in such case are blogs, discussion boards, vlogs, and video sharing sites. Similarly, Media Optimization (SMO) is the process of trying to get a persons content more widely distributed across multiple Media networks.

media marketing refers to the process of promoting a site or FMCG business through media channels and is seen as a powerful strategy that will get you links, attention and massive amounts of traffic. This is the low-cost promotional method which will easily provide you with large numbers of visitors, some of whom may come back to a website again and again. Most FMCG business owners and managers today are recognizing the benefits and huge potential that a media marketing and FMCG business blogging strategy can offer and are always on the lookout for implementing the same.

As long as objectives are kept in mind, social media can be an effective marketing channel even for FMCG. Whats important, though, is that marketers choose a medium both based on those objectives and on their need for measurement.

Research Methodology

3.0:-Research methodology
The system of collecting data for research projects is known as research methodology. The data may be collected for either theoretical or practical research for example management research may be strategically conceptualized along with operational planning methods and change management . Some important factors in research methodology include validity of research data, Ethics and the reliability of measures most of your work is finished by the time you finish the analysis
49

of your data. Formulating of research questions along with sampling weather probable or non probable is followed by measurement that includes surveys and scaling. This is followed by research design, which may be either experimental or quasi-experimental. The last two stages are data analysis and finally writing the research paper, which is organised carefully into graphs and tables so that only important relevant data is shown.

Types of research :--

There are basically 6 types of researches:

1. Theoretical 2. Applied 3. Analytical 4. Descriptive 5. Empirical 6. Conceptual

Here we used descriptive research methodology.

Descriptive research methodology:-Descriptive research is also called Statistical Research. The main goal of this type of research is to describe the data and characteristics about what is being studied. The idea behind this type of research is to study frequencies, averages, and other statistical calculations. Although this research is highly accurate, it does not gather the causes behind a situation. Descriptive research is mainly done when a researcher wants to gain a better understanding of a topic for example, a frozen ready meals company learns that there is a growing demand for fresh ready meals but doesnt know much about the area of fresh food and so has to carry out research in order to gain a better understanding. It is quantitative and uses surveys and panels and also the use of probability sampling.
50

Descriptive research is the exploration of the existing certain phenomena. The details of the facts wont be known. The existing phenomenas facts are not known to the persons.

Type of sampling design:-There are two major types of sampling designs: probability and nonprobability sampling. In probability sampling, the elements in the population have some known chance or probability of being selected as sample subjects. In nonprobability sampling, the elements do not have a known or predetermined chance of being selected as subjects.

Here we have used probability sampling design.

Sampling frame:It is the Complete list of all people in the target population. Business men Students Customers / General Public Size of sample:- There are 100 people are selected which are consider under this research.

Limitation of the research

115

The following limitation can be point out from the research that I conducted in relation to the problems. The sample size choosen from the questionnaire was only 100 and thet may not represent the true picture of the customer perception. The research got confined to the city of Kanpur. The respondent belonged only to the kanpur not other who were out of Kanpur. The selection of people of the questionnaire was done on the basis of convenient random sampling so there was certain cases in which the people selected could not give any positive response. The product offered by different companies had different options and names in them, so at the time of comparison it becomes very difficult. Secondary data resources may be incomplete. Information may be outdated.
