Do not remember flavours, but recall only packet
colours of Bingo!
Do not know of the Bingo Chips, aware of Mad
Angles only

Conclusion

The driving factors of the snack industry are:

Variety
Lays leads
Even though Bingo has the most varieties (16), it
still lags behind Lays.
This could be due to low awareness of the
different flavours of Bingo!

Availability
Lays & Haldirams are rated the highest
Bingo lags behind in this aspect

LOGO

Conclusion.. Contd.

Competitive Advantage of Bingo!

It is perceived to contain less air due to the
shape and size of the wafer
It is baked and not fried
Bingo currently does not advertise its strength in
this area.
People are more health conscious (58% of
respondents)
More product content could be added to its
advertisements

LOGO

Conclusion.. Contd.

From in-depth interviews:

Lot of people prefer to have crunchy and sweet
type of snacks
Bingo can explore this segment

Bingo has not tried any promotional offers as a

way to attract consumers
From the interviews, it was observed that it is a
good way to reach kids through promotional
offers
