HISTORY OF KELLOGG’S IN INDIA
In the 1990’s there was the desire by Kellogg’s to expand.
This made it attempt to indianise its campaign instead of simply copying its
international promotions.
The rooster that was associated with the Kellogg brand worldwide was
missing from its advertisements in India.
One of the adverts depicted a cross section of individuals from a yoga
instructor to a kathakali dancer attributing their morning energy and fitness
to Kellogg.
Kellogg saw distribution as an important area to look into to improve its
market penetration.In 1995,Kellogg had 30000 outlets which was increased
to 40000 outlets by 1998.
CRITICISM OF KELLOGGS RECOVERY
PLAN
The 500gm family size was launched which reduced the price
by 20%.Also Mazza introduced 60gm pouches priced at Rs9.50
RESULTS
In 1995,Kellogg had a 53percent share of the Rs150 million breakfast cereal
market,which had been growing at 4 to 5 percent per annum.
In 2000,Kellogg share had increased to 65 percent and the market share was Rs600
million,and Kellogg’s share had increased to 65 percent.
Analyst claim Kellogg’s entry was responsible for this growth.
The Company’s improved prospects was clearly traced to shift in
positioning,increased consumer promotions and an enhanced media budget.
Effort to develop products specifically for the Indian market helped Kellogg penetrate
the Indian market.
However,Kellogg was still viewed as a premium brand and its consumption was
restricted to the high class in the Indian market.
The company had to realise it will be very difficult to change the eating habit of the
Indians.In 2000,Kellogg unfolded many new brands including Crispix
Banana,Crispix Chocos,Froot loops,Cocoa Frosties,Honey crunch,All Bran and All
Rasin.Kellogg also introduced Krispies Treat,an instant snack targeted at children
priced at the Rs3 and Rs5,this product was placed to compete against the products in
the impulse snacks category. Some Analyst believe the introduction of new cereals
and the launch of biscuits and snacks could be attributed to the fact that the company
had been forced to look at alternate product categories to make-up for the below
expectation of the breakfast cereals brand.
