1) campaign RAKSHA KI RAKHI


a special rakhi made with Goodknight Patches that offer active protection from
mosquitoes. Made by kids, this was a promise of protection for our heroes as they
went about their day. The entire activity was conducted keeping the current safety
norms and rules in place.

2)On Mothers� Day, Good Knight started a campaign with a video showing why a mother
knows everything before her family calls out and how they are always in Active
Mode. With the tagline of #MomsOnActivMode, the video features two kids saying how
their mom is ever so active while the voiceover of their father jovially asks them
how they felt about their mom. s

3)While launching the Fast Card, Good Knight created an advertising to give the
idea that these cards ward off mosquitoes
in moments and kids can study without the worry of being bitten.
The video features two kids studying in front of their tutor and as one boy gets
distracted again and again by the mosquitoes and
get chided by the tutor, the mother burns the fast Card and restores his
concentration.

In this campaign, Good Knight also provided a 24�7 customer care number that
offers study tips and hold contests
for kids to give scholarships for their academic benefits in future.

4)The Subah Bolo Good Knight campaign was a significant advertisement to spread
awareness of Dengue which is caused from mosquito bites during the daytime. While
around 90% Indians are aware of the fact, only 8% use Good Knight repellants and
hence the advertisement shows a little kid instructing his elder sister to keep the
windows closed and take precautions with Good Knight refill machines.

5)In Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Bhojpuri, Kannada and other regional languages, the
advertisement campaigns were launched to reach out to core audience. There was
Advanced Active+ System campaign showing how a baby sister ruminates over the
mosquitoes to be killed with normal and active mode of the machine. There was also
a Active+ Complete Protection advertisement where a kid promises to look after his
infant sibling by getting rid of mosquitoes with Good Knight repellant.

6)There was also the campaign related to Good Knight Advanced Xpress System where a
mother is seen juggling between adjusting her son�s fancy dress as Ravana and
fumbling with ineffective measures to eradicate mosquitoes. This brought a message
that instead of installing repellants in installment, it is better to get the
Advanced Xpress once and for all

#HOW IT ALL STARTED?


When the term household insecticide was relatively an unknown topic, Mr. R. Mohan
from Godrej came up with the idea of innovating a mosquito repellant so effective
that people find no mosquito indoors and so affordable that the middle-class and
people with low economic balance could use them.
With such a unique idea, Mohan was called �Good Knight Mohan� according to the
first pyrethroid based product �Good Knight. The initial products were the refill
machines and coils which were effective enough to challenge the competitor brands.

In 1994, he started research for the A.I. or Active Ingredients used in these
mosquito repellents. The fast cards, patches, roll on, these products power chips,
repellant gels etc were launched in the following years and Mohan was a pioneer in
bringing them to Indian market.

#launching?
The electric smoke-free Goodnight Mat was launched in 1984 by TDPL or Transelektra
Domestic Products Ltd as the first of its kind in mosquito repellent machine
history. A seamless solution from harmful mosquitoes was the Good Knight Refill in
1995 that was supposed to last for 45 days on end.

In 1999, the Jumbo Coils in red color was launched and it was a longer lasting
solution as they could last for ten hours but in 3 years, this was replaced by the
coils which were designed to last for 12 hours and last throughout the night �a
boon for rural Indians. In the following year, Turbo Refills and Silver Mats by
Good Knight were launched.

Following the experiment by Mohan regarding Active Ingredients, in 2007, the Activ+
System was integrated with Good Knight Refills and machines by which users could
shift between normal and active modes according to requirement. For conventional
users and people from rural areas, the highly efficient coils with low smoke were
introduced in 2009, which was a revolutionary milestone.

2013 was quite a remarkable year as the Advanced Fast Card costing just 1 Rupee was
launched as most affordable and most innovative home insecticide. The Good Knight
Xpress System in 2014 was regarded as the fastest repellant system in India and it
came to market in 2014.

So long, Good Knight had invested on indoor mosquito repellants but in 2016, the
company decided to foray into revolutionary outdoor repellants for personal use.
The 100% organic Fabric Roll On was introduced for people of all age group to apply
on their clothes and get rid of mosquitoes. The 100% organic Cool Gel and patches
were also introduced in the same year.

#Good Knight�s marketing strategy and interesting reasons behind its success

-India being a country where mosquitoes breed significantly during summer and
monsoon seasons, Good Knight has tried to introduce newer and effective products in
regular yearly interval and that too by using fewer ingredients so that the
products are cost-efficient.

-While people were used to only the less effective mosquito nets, creams and coils,
Good Knight increased its marketing of hardware add-ons working as EMDs or
Electronic Mosquito Destroyers which were offered with the mats. The products were
designed to keep people safe from mosquito-borne diseases.

-To stay in the leading position against other competitors, Good Knight had its
strategy of using powerful Supermats and Jumbo Coils in HI or Household Insecticide
category during late 1990�s.
-The introduction of Silver Mat in 2003 with high-quality contemporary packaging,
high decibel campaigning and superior technology was a re-launch of the older
version and now it proudly owns around 62% of market share. Similarly during late
1990�s the 10-hour coil and in 1995, the LMD or Liquid Mosquito Destroyer Machine
with 3 years of warranty and 24% vaporizer market share were notable marketing
strategies.
