CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
Cultural Factor
Marketers targeted Punjab specially the rural areas where men mostly wear white clothes and want maximum whiteness
Psychological Factor
People in villages perceive that they will be given more respect if their clothes are whiter.
Low involvement. Bought frequently. Less expensive. An alternative brand can always be used.
MAXIMUM WHITENESS
Interest
Since it s a product of low involvement, people don t really seek information about it. All the information they get is from ads.
Evaluation
This stage is also not very critical as detergents are not very expensive and are bought frequently.
Adoption
Rin detergent is not yet adopted by the consumer market.
DRAW BACK
CONSUMPTION PIONEERS
In detergent market, Surf Excel, Ariel and Bonus are consumption pioneers i.e, they had been in the market for a long time and consumers are quite satisfied with the washing quality as well as the prices. This is also one of the reasons that people have not yet adopted Rin detergent as their regular washing powder.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Most of the people are unaware of the existence of Rin as a detergent powder. Attention catching TV ads. Ads should frequently.

BRANDING STRATEGY
BRAND POSITIONING: Earlier people used NEEL after washing, to whiten their clothes, now Rin is positioned in a way to give ultimate whiteness which reduces the after wash time which is perceived as a benefit.
BRAND NAME
Easy to pronounce Distinctive Name can only be extended for washing products (e.g. earlier rin was a dishwash bar)
BRAND DEVELOPMENT
BRAND EXTENSION - Existing brand name, changing
the product category. Rin was introduced as detergent bar which was later converted to dishwash bar because after a survey it was found that it was used as a dishwash bar. It continued to market as a dishwash bar but was relaunched as a detergent powder.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Product depth can be increased by adding Rin for coloured clothes because ratio of people wearing white clothes is very less in Pakistan. Name should be changed as Rin either does not mean anything or is an obsolete word. Devise industrial bags of about 10/20 Kg and sell it to hotel, hospitals and laundries
PRICE
PRICING
Strategy is to bring Mass Market to Mid Clean section. Price is set lower than Surf Excel.
PRICE
1 Kg Rs. 138
500 g Rs. 70

RECOMMENDATIONS
Cannot play much on price because reducing cost will cause to reduce quality, ultimately targeting mass market which is contrary to their strategy.
PLACE
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
To help make product available for use or consumption by customers, organizations use distribution channels. A company s decisions directly affect every other marketing decisions. Distribution channels often involve long term commitments to their franchisees, retailers, dealers. For distribution of Rin, Unilever has many distributers. Unilever is doing their distribution of Rin in downstream.
IMPORTANCE OF DCs

CHANNEL LEVELS
For the distribution of Rin, Unilever uses indirect marketing channels. They use more than one intermediary levels. They got more than one distributors which looks after Rin s distribution. From them it goes to modern trade, wholesalers and retailers.

New Campaign
CONCLUSION
DRAWBACK
When we started the project, we were told by unilever that it s a new product and is doing really good in the market and we started off with this project taking it as one of the hit products, but when we surveyed the markets and asked random people at our offices and neighbours etc. we came to know that there are hardly people who use this product that is because the best detergents in market (Ariel and Surf Excel) are not very expensive and mid class people (Target market) can easily afford it, secondly the price difference is only of Rs. 20-30, so people prefer paying a little more to get more. As compared to Bonus, bonus is very cheap and the price difference between bonus and top clean detergents is much more so people stay with the choice of bonus.
