Competitiveness in Retail segment oHigh brand recall oHigh Range of SKUS oBut high competition from brands like Kinley and Aquafina with better distribution network oDeclining market share
Competitiveness in Bulk segment oFirst mover advantage and market leader oLesser competition from branded players
Brand Management 5 Even though Bisleri has the highest awareness amongst consumers, why is it still not the market leader? Bisleri and its immediate competitors are not differentiated in the minds of consumer, hence no loyalty to brand and consumers switch as per ease Distribution of Bisleri couldn't match the level of Big players like Coca Cola, PepsiCo Competitors have other thirst market Products like fruit juices hence could afford extensive transportation channel
Brand Management 6 The campaign only targets the youth - restricts the other segments for Bisleri Removing pure from its existing campaign was counter productive Play safe campaign failed to emphasize on purity of water and rather targeted on packaging Thus Play safe campaign will not help them achieve their goals
What do you think of Bisleri s move to shift advertising from Pure and Safe to Play Safe? Do you think this campaign will help them achieve their objectives? Brand Management 7 Three level Action Required
Plan of Action Use of Brand Ambassador Improve Distribution Network Brand Extension Energy Drink, Juices
Could also be positioned as refreshing drink rather than just a medium to quench thirst Brand Management 8 Thank You
