The moppet who put Amul on India's breakfast table 50 years after it was first launched, Amul's sale figures have jumped from 1000 tonnes a year in 1966 to over 25,000 tonnes a year in 1997. No other brand comes even close to It. All because a thumb-sized girl climbed on to the hoardings and put a spell on
the masses.
The Amul girl was the brainchild of SylvesterdaCunha, the managing director of the advertising agency AS. The ads were designed as a series of hoardings with designs relating to day-to-day issues. The brand recall for the Amul girl is phenomenal across India today. And the biggest reason for this is the topical nature of the ads.The Amul ads have witty one-liners which capture relevant events that have caught the fancy of the nation.
Not only this, very innovatively AMUL presented its new brand strategy-The utterly butterly girl to come alive! On Mumbai, Dec 29, 2000: After becoming everyone's favourite little "utterly butterly delicious" girl through print and television ads, the Amul Butter Girl came alive! The search for an Amul Butter Girl and an Amul Cheese Boy ended in January 2000, when the Gujarat Cooperative Milk and Marketing Federation(GCMMF) announced the real life Amul Butter Girl and Amul Cheese Boy through a national Amul Surabhi search contest. Acknowledged GCMMF's assistant general manager RS Sodhi: ``The contest was meant to generate enthusiasm among students in every village and town. This also helped Amul's brand building exercise.''
Trivial Strategies
At the time when AMUL was formed , consumers had limited purchasing power & modest consumption levels of milk & other dairy products . thus AMUL
adopted:Low-Cost Price strategy
Low Cost Price Strategy was adopted to make the product affordable & alluring to consumers by guaranteeing them value for money. The main aim of Amul is to provide quality products to the consumers at minimum cost. The goal of Amul is to provide maximum profit in terms of money to the farmers. Low cost of production of AMUL: Milk production is scale insensitive and labour intensive. Due to low labour cost, cost of production of milk is significantly lower in AMUL.
Moving consumers to loose milk to packaged milk and gradually move them up the value chain ( tetra pack to beverages )
Being exposed to a brand , it is natural for a customer to use more products.
