Urban Distribution
Existing
strategy
and
current dealer network to
distribute the cooker in
urban areas
While awareness is created
in
talukas
using
govt.
admins aid and opinion
leaders, push the cooker
through dealers
Urban
The marketing strategy should
be targeted towards the
medium & large sized families
& economically from lower &
middle class income groups
Advertise through mass media
such as newspapers &
magazines focusing on the fuel
saving & innovativeness of the
product
Since the people are not aware
of its availability, promotional
leaflets with nearest dealer
details should be distributed
Demonstration at exhibitions
should be done
Demonstration & point of sale
marketing should be done by
dealers
Rural
The marketing strategy in Rural
areas would be more
concentrated, targeting large
villages & families of land
owners, shopkeepers & service
occupation
Demonstration with focus on
opinion leaders to educate,
create favourable attitude &
conviction
