Consumer Survey Focused Group Interviews
Brand Recall for Bingo is high, but
Bingo is mostly associated with Mad
Angles
Brand Personality: Male,17-30,
Friendly, Go Getter, Middle Class
Though Bingo promotional
campaigns register with the
consumer, the Sub Brands dont
Homely Feel Factor: Flavors give a
feel of home-made and local snacks;
helps in creating diffentiation
Key Insights
Retailer Survey
Key InsightsMad Angles has a heavy pull: Demand is substantial
Tedhe Medhe: The brand is stocked mostly as a
substitute to competitor Kurkure, with small retailers
prefering not to stock the product at all
Yumitos: The push from ITC is very heavy, though
demand is yet to pick up
In Modern Retail Chains: Overall shelf space is low
when compared to Frito-Lays, and amongst Bingo Sub-
Brands, Mad Angles occupies the most space
Mental Map: Bingo
What is the gesture by aperson that indicates that he is
enjoying his food?

non-stopLicking fingers
Eating with
eyes closedSavoring the
taste
Survey Findings
KEY OBSERVATIONS:Bingo is liked for its : Desi Taste, Brand Name and Availability, but most consumers associate Bingo only with Mad Angles
Consumer recall for Bingo as a brand is high, though not so for sub brands Mad Angles is the best performing sub-brand judged by most parameters
Bingo promotional campaigns are known for their fun element, but do not positively affect the Brand recall for the sub-brands

Bingo! Sub Brand Positioning
Why Change?Top of Mind recall is only based on unique shape
Varied Flavors are appreciated by consumers, butnot uniquely identified with Mad Angles
Survey suggests consumers prefer Desi Taste, but
Mad-Angles has not capitulated on this inherent
strength
Desi Taste
Int. Flavors
Doesn't Matter
USP : Mad Angles
Very High Visual Brand Recall Heavy pull for the product
Mad Angles is synonymous to Bingo in customer
psyche
Highest shelf space amongst all Bingo Sub-
Brands and hence best recall

Benefits:The proposed positioning aims to build on the recall
with a focus on unique tastes and a sense of madness
that would help the target group better relate to thebrand.
Yes
No
How?Focus on Shape as an instrument for Change
Desi and Chatpata Flavors symbolizing a Bindass
approach to life
Along with Shape, the Indianness to be stressed on.
Promotional Offers to focus on the fact that BingoMad angles would change the perspective of life,
adding a fun angle to it.

Why Change?Present positioning doesnt promote a unique value
proposition for Tedhe - Medhe
Top of the mind recall is extremely low
Though promotional focus is on shape, visual imagery
amongst consumers only confirms recall for Market
Leader Kurkure
Packaging doesnt reflect the essence of the product
Multiple me-too brands with same product shape and
similar taste makes brand recognition very difficult
Visual clues same as that for Market Leader
Kurkure
Retailer survey corroborates that Consumer
demand is low
Family focused positioning of Kurkure leads
to better acceptance for the brand as against
shape focused one for Tedhe Medhe
Though aided recall
associates the product to
Bingo, but Tedhe Medhe
doesnt register
Known as Bingo ki
Kurkure to consumers
Packaging: Needs a complete overhaul to advocate
the Companionship focus for the Product. The
present Pink Color doesnt justify the proposed
positioning
Positioning: Needs to move from Shape based to
personality based positioning.
Focus to shift to being a Trustedcompanion to the
Aspirational Target Group
Promotion: Promotion needs to stress on the core
offering of Trusted Companionship in order to break
away from the clutter of me-too offerings

Bingo! Sub Brand Positioning
Aided(1Clue)
?Current Positioning
A snack that is so good that you would
want to share it with everyone since
every strand has something for everyone
Why Change?Expectation-Experience Mismatch:
SpicinessNo registration of shape despite
special emphasis
Consumers prerogative while
snacking: Taste, Quantity but not shape
Almost a me-too snack, a fallback
What?Bring the varying spices aspect of
mother brand into positioning to create
a stronger connect
Create a tangible benefit for the
tangles shape by stressing on how the
different strands play their roles
Proposed Positioning: How?Bingo Tangles is a unique fulfilling snack
where every piece is a collection of
spicy strands that are made to satisfy
every different craving that you have
strands play their roles
Benefits ExpectedMakes Tangles a preferred choice for
varying consumer moods and cravings
Generates consumer connect with the
shape and texture of the snack,especially the strands

Bingo! Sub Brand Positioning
Why Change? Yumitos lags behind in consumer recall from its
peers.
Consumers associate Bingo with Mad Angles,
Yumitos doesnt register as a Bingo sub-brand
When asked to associate Break to a snack,
consumer recall doesnt focus specifically to
Yumitos
Bingo: 87%
Yumitos: 27%
Lays: 100%
Uncle Chips: 63%
Haldirams: 42%
Brand Recall: Yumitos hasnt registered with the customers as is
evident
The International Taste and Positioning of Lays is ably
supported by Desi Flanker brand Uncle Chips
Survey showed that while people relate to the Desi
Tastes of Uncle Chips, Lays is considered to have more of
a Suited Guy image, thus together providing a
wholesome range to consumers
Lays Strategy
Positioning:
While competitors focus only on Taste, Yumitos
Needs to focus on the Fineness of the Chips(Shape
Focus) too
As against competition, Yumitos should focus on awitty image
Product: New Product Launches to satiate the diverseregional tastes of India as against the international
range of Lays
Promotion: Campaigns to focus on Yumitos providing
a witty solution to desi problems(Fine-tuning India)
