Experiential Marketing

Brief & Objectives:

An idea which would bring customers for all categories under one roof (initiator influencer, buyer & user, all interact with the brand together) to create the right sales & promotion mix. A simple most cost effective idea which would yield maximum participation and interaction with the brand and the villager cherishes the memory of his association with the brand in that time frame. Create an ambience for the TA that is relatable yet unique & afresh Make the TA feel important and persuade them graciously

Target Audience:

Every one from a school going child, rural women to a mature farmer was our TG. Target groups from different age groups and category were invited so as to reinforce the feeling of oneness and an image of family.

Backgrounder for Concept:

My life is dull & revolve around day to day chores There is hardly any source of entertainment Rural extravaganza at held at district level on annual basis only

Experiential Marketing

Marketing efforts so far have been restricted to the extent of running short campaigns that lacked the element of interaction. The need was to bring together and run a syndicated activity which will yield better results and bring more sales benefits to the brands. The trend from marketers across industries had always been stand alone initiatives. Rural customer is more community specific and decisions are taken in togetherness rather than a single mind purchase. The influencers like peers, relatives, neighbors, youth and affluent farmers etc who are consulted for different purchases Any company who is promoting its product faces a tough competition with other players. Main challenge has always been recall as the rural TG is exposed to different promotions happening in his village. The challenge is how to build up strong recall of his experience with the brands.

Hence, the need of the hour, as explored by agency was to reach out with just the right entertainment package which defined the foundation for the concept.

An in-house initiative to bring all brand closer to the rural consumer under on roof. A family entertaining, commercial fair by itself. A unique Har Ghar Mein ek Product approach, which eventually led to an increase in product trials. It aimed at involving the entire family, for the full day in an atmosphere created to enjoy, interact, understand & breathe the products displayed by the Corporates for higher trials & brand recall.
