1.4 MARKETING STRATEGIES OF DABUR
Marketing strategy is a long-term plan carried out to promote the goods
and services of a company. Strategies are the long-term plans made to
achieve the organizational goal and marketing deals in the selling or
promotion of goods and services with a primary aim of customer
satisfaction.
Dabur's marketing strategy aims at continuing its brand image by
providing a variety of products and using print media and sales
promotion for reaching out to its customers. We will discuss the
marketing strategy of Dabur in more detail now. Let us begin by learning
more about the advertising strategy used by Dabur.
1.4.1 Dabur Advertisements Strategy
Dabur already holds on to print and television advertising and recently is
planning to take over digital media as a medium for advertising its
products.
As we have seen, the cancer patients were paid homage in the
advertising of Dabur Vatika, as a salutation notice for battling with the
disease. The commercial will reach the consumer's emotional side;
mostly the ladies who use the Dabur Vatika.in the case of Dabur amla
hair oil, Dabur featured Priyanka Chopra for the promotion of the
product and she is seen getting a hair massage from her mother, which
shows how Dabur amla hair oil improves mother-daughter relation while
getting hair massage.
1.4.2 Digital Marketing Of Dabur
Dabur is known for its use of traditional promotional mediums but they
are shifting their marketing strategy to a digital-first approach. In an
insightful interview taken by BrandEquity of A.C. Burman, the
Chairman of Dabur, he talked very intensely about the digital-first
approach for Dabur and how the company will shift it's marketing efforts
to a newer medium.
The rationale for such a shift of marketing strategy comes from the
acknowledgement of the fact that social media and other digital
platforms provide far more to a marketer in terms of effectiveness than
any previous medium of promotions. Dabur has been increasing its
digital spend over the last few years. From the year 2017, they have
increased their digital marketing spending by 33% in 2018. They spent a
total of RS1.99 billion in the year 2018-19.
Another aspect that Dabur wishes to capitalise on is the e-commerce
store trend. These e- commerce stores have shown their efficiency and
effectiveness in the Indian market. Dabur pushes it's products through
multiple e-commerce stores and targets fitness-conscious millennials as
a part of its digital strategy.
1.5 STRATEGY
Dabur does not afford to have one single strategy to compete against its
competitors effectively.
It operates in the highly competitive FMCG industry consisting of large
MNCs, such as HUL, P&G, PATANJALI, ITC, etc. It cannot afford to
go for purely offensive strategies that directly affect the bottom line.
Moreover, the basic nature of the marketplace is dynamic. The deciding
criteria for any policy adoption are that it should be based on the
company's strength, clear sustainable competitive advantage, and
consumers' needs and requirements.
Dabur has a very strong and wide supply chain network that covers both
rural and urban areas through 600+ distributors&2.8 million retailers.
This network has helped Dabur reach every corner of India, which gives
it a competitive edge over well-established players like HUL, P&G, ITC,
etc.
The FMCG & pharma industry is already overcrowded with local &
national players. Dabur has many brands that don't have a stronghold in
the market like Home care & personal care products while it is the
market leader in some of the product categories Chyawanprash, Health
supplements, Glucose-D & Real Fruit juice.
All the sections of society are targeted by Dabur, like other companies,
but middle-class customers form the major group because of more
purchasing power.
1.6 INDUSTRY PROFILE: -
Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is India's fourth-largest
sector with household and personal care accounting for 50% of FMCG
sales in India, Growing awareness, easier access and changing lifestyles
have been the key growth drivers for the sector. The urban segment
(accounts for a revenue share of around 55%) is the largest contributor to
the overall revenue generated by the FMCG sector in India. However, in
the last few years, the FMCG market has grown at a faster pace in rural
India compared to urban India. Semi-urban and rural segments are
growing at a rapid pace and FMCG products account for 50% of the
total rural spending.
Market Size: -
The FMCG market in India is expected to increase at a CAGR of 14.9%
to reach USS 220 billion by 2025. from USS 110 billion in 2020. The
Indian FMCG industry grew by 16% in CY21 a 9-year high, despite
nationwide lockdowns, supported by consumption-led growth and value
expansion from higher product prices, particularly for staples. The rural
market registered an increase of 14.6% in the same quarter and metro
markets recorded positive growth after two quarters. Final consumption
expenditure increased at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2015-20. According to
Fitch Solutions, real household spending is projected to increase 9.1%
YoY in 2021, after contracting >9.3% in 2020 due to economic impact of
the pandemic. The FMCG sector's revenue growth will double from 5-
6% in FY21 to 10-12% in FY22, according to CRISIL. Ratings. Price
increases across product categories will offset the impact of rising raw
material prices, along with volume growth and resurgencein demand for
discretionary items, are driving growth. The FMCG sector grew by
36.9% in the April-June quarter of 2021 despite lockdowns in various
parts of the country.
1.7 SWOT Analysis of Dabur Products: -
SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis is a technique
used by the company to determine its competitive position, to form strategies and
plans accordingly, and to achieve the organizational objective. A SWOT analysis
measures internal and external factors, as well as current and future possibilities.
We have done in-depth research and have developed this SWOT analysis of Dabur
for you, have a look: -
STRENGTH
Dabur has a wide variety of products for each age group. Being a century-old
brand, it has a strong brand image in the eyes of customers. Currently operating in
over 60 countries, with 5000 distributors and 3 million outlets.
WEAKNESS
Many unbranded and duplicate products are being sold under the name of Dabur.
Dabur not only has competition from local brands, but also international players
like Colgate.
OPPORTUNITIES
The era of modernization and instant food has led to an unhealthy lifestyle, and
people are forced to take ayurvedic medicines and supplements like
Chyawanprash, Hajmola, etc. Dabur products have an equally high demand in
foreign markets. Expansion of the product line and introducing ayurvedic
beverages can boost their business.
THREATS
Stiff competition from big MNC's like ITC, HUL, Patanjali. With an increasing
trend of ayurvedic medicines and supplements, many local brands have also
entered the market.

Literature
Review
REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
Sharma M. (2012) defines consumer preferences as the subjective
(individual) tastes, as measured by utility, of various bundles of goods.
They permit the consumer to rank these bundles of goods according to
the levels of utility they give the consumer. Note that preferences are
independent of income and prices. Ability to purchase goods does not
determine a consumer's likes or dislikes. This is used primarily to mean
an option that has the greatest anticipated value among a number of
options. Customer preference refers to how customers select goods and
services in relation to factors like taste, preference and individual
choices. Factors such as the consumer's income and price of the goods
do not influence the customer's preferred products or services. Mishra
(2007) highlighted that the rapid growth of retailing in recent years has
necessitated the upcoming many new firms to benchmark. Retail firms
are concerned about the available resources and their optimum
utilization with respect to consumers" need and preference. Jack and
Rose, (2012) opined that it would be difficult and almost impossible to
create quantitative variables to describe the overall appearances of the
main characters combining varying views (e.g., price, taste, quality,
hygiene etc.) as well as the dynamic design, colours, and sounds of the
machine in that vending solution, which may have a significant impact
on consumers' preferences.
Sinha P.K, Banerjee A and Uniyal D.P. (2012) studied store choice
behaviour of shoppers in the context of the changing retailing
environment. They have tried to identify major drivers behind choice of
stores for various shopping needs as exhibited by a typical Indian
consumer. Their study revealed that convenience and merchandise are
the primary reasons behind choosing a store. Seiders and Tigert (2012)
compared supercenter shoppers with traditional supermarket shoppers in
his study. Supercenter shoppers identified low prices and range of
product assortment as the primary reasons for their format choice. In
contrast, traditional supermarket shoppers placed more importance on
location and product quality.
White and Schlosser (2005) found that effect of a large assortment was
found to be dependent on the familiarity of the purchaser with the
product group and their attitude towards risk. However, this study also
found that a wide variety did not always result in reduced purchasing.
Where product choices were described in terms of their experiential
attributes and not merely physical characteristics then large assortments
were more likely to result in purchases (Diehl, 2005). Herrmann.
Heitmann (2006) found that large assortments may prevent a purchasing
decision. The process consumers use to form preferences depends on
their level of involvement in the purchase decision and their need for
cognition, as well as the capability of their memory (Alba et al, 1992).
Certain consumers may be more concerned with the specific attributes of
their choice object/s; others may focus more on how it makes them feel
or its affect (Powell Mantel and Kerdes, 1999) Shendge, (2013) states
that Preference (or "taste") is a concept, used in the social sciences,
particularly economics. It assumes a real or imagined "choice" between
alternatives and the possibility of rank ordering of these alternatives,
based on happiness, satisfaction, gratification, enjoyment, utility they
provide. More generally, it can be seen as a source of motivation. In
cognitive sciences, individual preferences enable choice of
objectives/goals. Virmani R. T., (2011) stated the reasons for preference
of the brands ranged from quality to availability. But it was quality that
was ranked as the No. 1 parameter for brand preference.
The study was undertaken to understand the factors affecting consumer
preferences for retail store selection and developing marketing strategies
towards meeting the needs and wants of consumers. This study examines
the linkage between consumer preferences and the importance of some
salient store attributes.
(Singh and Agarwal, 2013), Verma and Khandelwal, 2011; Brand and
Leonard, 2001), store attributes (Bianchi, 2009), AHP (Saaty, 1980;
Subbaiah, 2011), retailer selection (Liisa 1990;
Mitchell and Kiral 1998; Arora, 1999; Franklin, 2001; Liu - Hai, 2005;
Philippidis and Hubbard, 2003; Tzeng et al., 2002).
Retailer selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various
criteria must be considered in decisions making process. Studies by
(Goffin, Szwejczewski and New, 1997; Howe, 1998; Dawson, 2000)
were focused on groceries and nutrition products. Attitudes cannot be
observed directly, they are mental positions that marketers must try to
infer through research measures (Wilkie, 1994: 83). Based on the
consumers" preference, the consumer can score the relative preference
level between two attributes from 1 to 9, where I is nominally preferred
and extremely preferred (Tseng and Lin, 2005, 201).
Pan and Zinkhan (2013) studied the consumer store patronage and store
choice in the retailing literature. These studies suggest that several
attributes affect consumers preferences and expectations of retail stores,
such assortment, service, product quality, store atmosphere, store
location, price level, checkout speed, hours of operation, friendliness of
salespeople, and parking facilities. When choice is unconstrained
consumers will enact their purchase preferences and buy only their
preferred products (East, 1990).
Varun Jain (2014) concluded that the shoppers in India prefer the local
kirana stores over malls. The shoppers love to hangout and shop from
their local traditional stores because of the familiarity with ambiance,
ease of access, emotional attachment, early opening and late closing
times etc., which suits the local residents.
Spiller Bolten and Kennerknecht (2016) identified service and product
quality as main determinant of customer satisfaction. They propose that
customer consider freshness of fruits and vegetables as the quality of
whole assortment. Study by Kim et al., (2012) concluded that the
retailing scenario has changed significantly during the last two decades.
The retailing industry in the world has converted from the domestic
market-based traditional market format of the past to large scaled
franchising and establishment of brand names.
Grocery industry is strongly driven by price competitiveness (Taylor,
2016). Credit is a predictor of grocery shopping expenditures spent out
of the community and consumers spending a medium proportion of their
grocery expenditures out of a locality had the highest overall shopping
expenditures in all categories (Sullivan and Savitt, 1997), Product
selection, assortment and courtesy of personnel are also very important
in determining format choice and cleanliness is the most important
attribute regardless of the format of grocery found that grocery shoppers
consider quality to be most important, followed by price, locality, range
of products and parking. Fox et al. concluded that shopping and
spending vary much more across than within formats, and expenditures
respond more to varying levels of assortment and promotion than price,
although price sensitivity was most evident at grocers.Seiders et al.
(2016) concluded that low price and assortment more often is the reason
for store choice, found quality, assortment, store location, price and
product variety as the most important store attributes influencing
satisfaction.
Yang (2016) concluded that spatial separation distance best explained
respondents" shopping destination choice behaviour, followed by store
selection criteria. A study in Vietnam on the factors which influence
decision-making by consumers when selecting traditional bazaars vs
supermarkets revealed that freshness, price and convenience are
important in shaping the choice by consumers for traditional outlets for
fresh food, while price played a key role in selecting shopping outlets for
processed food and drinks and non-food products concluded that grocery
shopping patterns vary with culture.

information for research report, yet there have been some problems
faced by the researcher. The prime difficulties which researcher has
faced in collection of information are discussed below: Time Constraint:
The time period for carrying out the research has been limited as a result
of which many facts have been left unexplored. So, if more time had
been provided, the sample size would have been increased. The
respondent would have been given more time to fill the questionnaire.
Limited sample size: The sample size was only 150 which can't be
regarded as true representative of all employees working in service
sector.
Unwillingness of respondents: While collection of the data many
employees were unwilling to fill the questionnaire. Respondents were
having a feeling of wastage of time.
Limited area for research: The area for study has been only selected
organizations area to represent emotional intelligence of employees of
service sector.
Respondents bias: Due to the biasness on the part of respondents, data
collected may have been affected which further reduces the credibility of
the findings Researcher's bias: While analysing the data, some biasness
on the part of researcher may have crept into the duty.
Despite of these difficulties, best efforts have been put to do the full
justice with the subject matter and in the completion of report.
