NATURE AND IMPORTANCE AND NEED OF RURAL MARKETINGizharul2004
Rural marketing involves the procurement of farm inputs by farmers and the movement of agricultural products from farmers to consumers. Rural markets differ significantly from urban markets as agriculture is the primary economic activity. Rural products include crops, vegetables, fruits as well as industrial and consumer goods meant for direct use or further processing. Marketers are increasingly targeting rural markets due to their large size, growth potential, and saturation of urban markets. However, rural markets pose unique challenges such as poor infrastructure, seasonal demand, and low literacy levels. Successful rural marketing requires an understanding of rural consumers and strategies for product development, pricing, distribution, and promotion tailored to rural needs and preferences.
Rural markets in developing countries like India and Nepal present both challenges and opportunities for marketers. While rural areas have large populations with significant purchasing power, reaching rural customers is difficult due to issues like low incomes, lack of infrastructure, high distribution costs, and cultural and educational barriers. Understanding diverse rural customer needs, behaviors, and preferences is key to success. Marketers must consider appropriate pricing, product attributes, and promotional strategies tailored for each local rural context. Developing effective rural distribution and managing competition are also important strategic challenges for companies operating in rural emerging markets.

66. Introduction to Rural Marketing “The first five years of the new millennium will belong neither to the urban markets which have reached saturation and where margins are under pressure not to the export markets, which suffer from inadequate infrastructure back home, and uncompetitive prices overseas. It will belong to rural marketing.”
67. RURAL MARKETING In the India context, the word ‘RURAL’ is so much associated with agriculture and farmers that rural marketing tends to be seen as a marketing of inputs or outputs related to agriculture.
68. What is Rural Marketing? Rural marketing is a function which manages all those activates involved in assessing, stimulating and converting the purchasing power into an effective demand for specific products and services, and moving them to the people in rural area to create satisfaction and a standard of living to them and thereby achieves the goals of the organization.
69. Rural v Urban OCCUPATION: Rural:Cultivators n few non –agricultural pursuits. Urban:manufacturing,trade,commerce,professions
70. Size of community Rural:open farms & small community are –vly co-related Urban:urbanity & size of community are +vly co-related
72. Mobility Rural:social mobility less.More migration from villages to town. Urban:social mobility inreases with urbanity .
73. System of interaction Rural:less numerous contacts per man.Predominance of personal & relatively durable relations. Urban:Greater complexity,superficiality & standarized formality in relations.
74. Although the melting of the urban - rural divide will take a while, this is not for want of the availability of the means but for want of the rural consumer's mindset to change; which has its own logic, which is driven by tradition, custom and values that are difficult to shed,
75. Attractiveness of rural market Rural markets have become the new targets to corporate enterprises for two reasons : 1. Urban market has become congested with too many competitors. 2. The market have reached a near saturation point.
76. Various factors which have made rule markets viable:- Large population 2. Raising prosperity 3. Growth in consumption 4. Life-style changes 5. Life-cycle advantages 6. Market growth rates higher than urban 7. Rural marketing is not expensive 8. Remoteness is no longer a problem
77. Now for some facts and figures. The Indian rural market today accounts for only about Rs 8 billion (53 per cent - FMCG sector, 59 per cent durables sale, 100 per cent agricultural products) of the total ad pie of Rs 120 billion, thus claiming 6.6 per cent of the total share. So clearly there seems to be a long way ahead. Time and again marketing practitioners have waxed eloquent about the potential of the rural market. But when one zeroes in on the companies that focus on the rural market, a mere handful names come to mind. Hindustan Lever Limited (HuL) is top of the mind with their successful rural marketing projects like 'Project Shakti' and 'Operation Bharat'.
78. Clearly the main challenge that one faces while dealing with rural marketing is the basic understanding of the rural consumer who is very different from his urban counterpart. Also distribution remains to be the single largest problem marketers face today when it comes to going rural. "Reaching your product to remote locations spread over 600,000 villages and poor infrastructure - roads, telecommunication etc and lower levels of literacy are a few hinges that come in the way of marketers to reach the rural market
79. In 1998 HuL’s personal products unit initiated Project Bharat, the first and largest rural home-to-home operation to have ever been prepared by any company. The project covered 13 million rural households by the end of 1999. During the course of operation, HuL had vans visiting villages across the country distributing sample packs comprising a low-unit-price pack each of shampoo, talcum powder, toothpaste and skin cream priced at Rs. 15. This was to create awareness of the company’s product categories and of the affordability of the products.
81. The greatest challenge for advertisers and marketers continues to be in finding the right mix that will have a pan-Indian rural appeal. Coca Cola, with their Aamir Khan ad campaign succeeded in providing just that.
83. "Yaara da Tashan..." ads with Aamir Khan created universal appeal for Coca Cola Coca-Cola India tapped the rural market in a big way when it introduced bottles priced at Rs 5 and backed it with the Aamir Khan ads. The company, on its behalf, has also been investing steadily to build their infrastructure to meet the growing needs of the rural market, which reiterates the fact that this multinational has realised the potential of the rural market is going strength to strength to tap the same.
84. For HLL, a one rupee or a five rupee sachet or the Kutti Hamam (the small Hamam) helps in giving the consumers a trial opportunity. While it does help in generate volume but not in terms of values. "Till the time that volume - value equation is managed better. Ultimately, the ball lies in the court of rural marketers. It's all about how one approaches the market, takes up the challenge of selling products and concepts through innovative media design and more importantly interactivity.
85. Amul is another case in point of aggressive rural marketing. Some of the other corporates that are slowly making headway in this area are Coca Cola India, Colgate, Eveready Batteries, LG Electronics, Philips, BSNL, Life Insurance Corporation, Cavin Kare, Britannia and Hero Honda to name a few.
86. Interestingly, the rural market is growing at a far greater speed than its urban counterpart. "All the data provided by various agencies like NCAER, Francis Kanoi etc shows that rural markets are growing faster than urban markets in certain product categories at least. The share of FMCG products in rural markets is 53 per cent, durables boasts of 59 per cent market share. Therefore one can claim that rural markets are growing faster than urban markets
88. In 2000, ITC took an initiative to develop direct contact with farmers who lived in far-flung villages in Madhya Pradesh. ITC's E-choupal was the result of this initiative.
89. So the fact remains that the rural market in India has great potential, which is just waiting to be tapped. Progress has been made in this area by some, but there seems to be a long way for marketers to go in order to derive and reap maximum benefits. Moreover, rural India is not so poor as it used to be a decade or so back. Things are sure a changing
92. Orientations to the Market Selling orientation - Product orientation - Marketing orientation C K Prahalad and V Ramaswamy – Co- creating value with customers Market as a target to “ Market as a forum” The “ contribution revolution” “ Customer is the king/ queen” Understanding the customer is vital The Mahatma’s words at railway stations Foundation of the STP process

97. Why is segmentation useful ? Segmentation helps firm tailor their marketing programs focuses an actionable and accessible set of the market. cuts of wasteful expenditures on unwanted consumers matches needs and wants of specific groups of buyers to firm’s offerings stimulates demands through multi-products for multi-segments resource allocation to segment specific marketing mix activities will be made more efficient Segmentation is a way to plan rather than explain

100. Segmenting the Market: Nirma vs HLL Until about twenty ago, the rural market in India was considered a homogenous decade of the 1980s was a significant one for Hindustan Level Ltd (HLL), when the giant and undisputed market leader in detergent (Surf) in Indian Suffered significant losses at the hands of a new and small firm , Nirma Chemicals . Nirma immediately caught th fancy of the middle and lower-income customers, who were finding it difficult to make both ends meet with their limited monthly income. Nirma was the lowest –priced branded washing powder available in grocery and co-operatives stores. The middle class house wife was happy as she could choose a lower priced washing powder against Surf, Which was beyond her budget Around 1984 , HLL decided to take a fresh look at the market. Research conducted across the country revealed that different income groups of consumers had varying expectorations from detergent and washing powder. Thus, to counter the attack from Nirma, HLL launched Sunlight (Yellow), Wheel (green) and Rin (blue) detergent powders for different market segments. This strategy of segmenting the market helped HLL win back part of its lost market.
101. Segmenting the Markets T-Series introduced audiocassettes at unbelievably low price and took away a huge share from the market leader HMV. Cavin Kare studied the Shampoo market and came out with Chik Shampoo priced at 50 paisa per sachet and the brand became an instant hit in rural areas. Titan has introduced Sonata brand watches; priced between Rs 350/- and Rs.800/- to meet the requirement of price sensitive rural and semi urban consumers.
102. Utsav Time Asian Piants Ltd(APL) is India’s largest paints company and ranks among the top ten decorative coating companies in the world today. The company has come a long way since its small beginning in 1942. APl was the first Indian company to go rural In 1999 It launched Tractor enamel paint in rural markets, rural customers started using it to paint the horns of their bullock. APL survey the rural markets extensively with the able support of its advertising agency Ogilvy outreach. They found that there was a gap in demand in the market for paints used for houses. These were two choice available for rural people : the traditional chuan powder, which cost around Rs9 per kg and enamel paint which cost around Rs 50 per liter was very expensive for most rural customers. Chuan powder however was not long lasting . Hence APL launched Utasv distemper exclusively for rural markets in 1999. Utsav is good example of brand that used excellent STP for rural markets.
