FASHION MARKETING COMMUNICATION

Introduction To• A Nestlé brand of instant soups, stocks, bouillon cubes, ketchups, sauces, seasonings and instant noodles

• Came into existence in 1872 in Switzerland

• quickly became a pioneer of industrial food production, aiming at improving the nutritional intake of worker families

• Maggi Comes to India – early1980s.

• At that time, there was no direct competition

• First competition - ready-to-eat snack segment which included snacks like samosas, biscuits or maybe peanuts.

• Second competition came from the homemade snacks like pakoras or sandwiches.

• Both competitors had certain drawbacks in comparison.

• Snacks like samosas - bought out - outside food is

generally considered unhygienic and unhealthy.

• The other competitor, ‘homemade’ snacks - disadvantage

of extended preparation time at home.

Maggi was positioned as the only hygienic homemade

snack !!

• Despite this, Nestlé faced difficulties with their sales after the initial phase.

The reason being, the positioning of the product with the wrong target group.

• Nestle had positioned Maggi as a convenience food product aimed at the target group of working women who hardly found any time for cooking.

•

Unfortunately this could not hold the product for

very long.

• In the course of many market researches and surveys, the firm found that children were the biggest consumers of Maggi noodles.

• Quickly they repositioned it towards the kids segment with various tools of sales promotion like color pencils, sketch pens, fun books, Maggi clubs which worked wonders for the brand.

Positioned as ‘2- minute noodles’ with punchline-

“FAST TO COOK GOOD TO EAT”

Brand logo

Carlo donati gave the ‘Maggi’ word to the product range to continue the image of “healthy and fast to cook” food for working women which was introduced by Julius maggi who was french painter, poster, artist and print maker who developed and designed logo of Maggi.

• One of the stand out example has been Nestlé’s Maggi Noodles’ ‘Meri Maggi’ campaign.
