Despite a progressive beer market in India, After witnessing a rapid growth since inception,
Kingfisher market share has been dwindling and revenues have stagnated since 2016 and profits are
is about 37%, down from 50.1% in 2011 on steady decline in last 3 years
Rebranding ?
 Kingfisher should maintain its brand identity
 Maintain brand mantra and marketing strategy
 Heineken to compete as a separate Brand What
Revise Strategy for Recapturing Market Share ? Next?
 Resist expanding the portfolio further in near future
 Aggressive forays into international market
 Close links with retailers
 Create it’s own brew houses

Need for Change in the Communication Mix ?


 Kingfisher has had an effective marketing strategy
 Ideal Communication Mix. No more avenues to capture
 Look at increasing effectiveness of extant MARCOMM
 Increase visibility in events (Force India failed)
 Go aggressive in Social Media marketing
 Target ‘Swadeshi’ emotions of youth; ambush if required
 Engage customers through QR code marketing
