STRATEGIC MANTRAS OF ASIAN PAINTS LIMITED -
Audacious in visionFocus on what know bestTrim flab to achieve operational excellenceGood governance made the business senseForge stronger partnerships with supplier basePursue quality with zealInnovate to create value for customersGood in distribution
STRATEGIC MANTRAS OF ASIAN PAINTS LIMITED - A WHOLE AND REALISTIC VIEWAsian Paints sound marketing has earned it strong brand equity It has been able to do it by focusing on product features that are appreciated by customers And by ensuring that the products are of high and consistent quality and are widely available b Enviable track record in breaking away the position of MNCs in the Indian paint Industry building a strong distribution system The paint industry of India is more then 100 years old Its beginning can be traced to the setting up of factory by Shalimar Paints in Kolkata in 1902 Till the advent of World War II The industry
consisted of just a few foreign companies and some small Indigenous producers Foreign companies continued to dominate the industry
At the time Asian Paints entered the Indian paint business Distribution was the most crucial task for any new entrant Both physical distribution and channel management posed formidable challenges The foreign companies and their wholesale distributors dominated the business Also they were shutting the doors on any new paint company seeking an entry into the business They concentrated on big cities where they could make the sales without much investment in distribution infrastructure and market development
Asian Paints sized up the scenario and formulated a unique strategy It went in
for a strategy that differed totally from the existing pattern
Elements of Asian Paints Marketing Strategy
1 Bypassed the bulk buyer segment and went to individual consumers of paints
2 Went slow on urban areas and concentrated on semi urban and rural areas
3 Asian Paints went retail While its competitors remained content with a handful of wholesale distributors AP preferred direct contact with hundreds of retail dealers
4 Asian Paints went in for an open door policy It broke the prevailing trend in those days Of limiting the number of dealers to the barest minimum And chose to use practically everyone in the trade Who was willing to function as its dealer
5 Asian Paints voted for nationwide marketingdistribution It wanted to have an active presence throughout the country In all the geographical zones States and territories
Brand Image ndash USP ndash Positioning with Advt Examples
BRAND POSITIONING It is how the Asian paints enabled people to form a mental image for theirproducts in the customerrsquos mind The strategies that they followed where asfollows
Brand Image The ways in which Asian Paints attempted to meet the customerrsquos psychologicaland social needsIndian paint industry is a low involvement industry Till 1990speople will just tell their budget for painting their house to their contractorsAnd few customers will also mention the colour they need During that periodAsian Paints analyzed the customer market and found that people where notbrand conscious but their concern was only the price of the paint To meet thisneeds of the customerbull Asian paints reduced the cost of the raw materials by backward integration inorder to reduce the cost of the paintsbull Established an advertising strategy with created an emotional touch among thecustomersAll these strategies helped them in creating a ldquoBrand Imagerdquo for their productsamong people and people started realizing the need for brand conscious in thisindustry
Umbrella Brand In 2004 the company realized that though they have almost 20 brands only fewproducts like Apex emulsion Royale interior emulsion Apcolite and Touchwood had high recall among the customers Therefore they decided to promote Brand Portfolio
It was realized that instead of spending on individual brands and in promoting them it was logical to promote their corporate image and all the brands under their umbrella brands ldquo Asian Paints has embarked on an umbrella branding policy encompassing all its products and services The project includes a new visual identity that establishes the company name as the dominant reason for purchase Tractor Royale Utsav and Apcolite names are no longer the focus on the can rather consumers will be buying Asian Paints Some key brand names are being retained for the time being--to signal a position in the market rather than a product or surface For instance Tractor will represent the value for money brands The immediate advantage is obvious Rather than spread resources thinly across brands and sub-brands a company centric portfolio can synergize communication efforts To be competitive in a world of fragmentation and rising costs traditional mass media such as television can be prohibitively costly With the umbrella-branding move Asian Paints can also afford to move forward from a mere functional platform for each individual product to the high ground of a mood-based emotional dimension
An Underlying Theme At Asian Paints the underlying theme is Har ghar kuchh kehta hai or every home has something to say The depth and texture visualized by this line goes into the customers basic psyche of owning a home and will carry through various messages emanating from the company which is the leader in the decorative coatings market in India
Asian Paints Every Color Tells a Story Asian Paints started its journey in 1942 with four young men in a garage in Bombay The name Asian Paints was picked randomly from the telephone directory The brand has traveled from that garage to become a Rs 1000 crore brandFrom 1968 this brand occupies a premium position in the Indian Paint industry
The story of the evolution of Asian Paints as a brand is interesting The brand now has an iconic status in the industry thanks to some blockbuster big ideas from OampM The brand once positioned as a Mass market brand has evolved itself to a higher plane
Indian paint industry can be broadly divided into two segmentsaDecorative segment which constitutes the wall paints Exterior and Interior wood paintsetcbIndustrial segment which consists of automotive paints and paints for industrial sectorDecorative segment constitutes around 75 of the total paint industry and Asian Paints is the market leader with around 44 share In the Industrial segment Nerolac is the marketleader
In the decorative segment it is interesting to see how Asian Paints have changed the buying process of
the product like paints Paints are usually considered to be a low involvement product In earlier times the decision of the brand was taken by the buildercontractor and the home owners does not involve much in the process may be the decision of color rest with the house ownersAsian Paints realized the need for brand building even during sixties But at that point of time the company had a wide range of brandssubbrands The focus of the company was on product innovation and service network and managing quality proposition
The brand focused on mass and rural market Asian Paints had a mascot called Gattu who was created by the celebrated cartoonist R K Laskhman These efforts made the brand a leader during the late sixties
Then the company realised that although volume justified the leadership position share of mind for the brand was very low That was the result of the mass segmentation adopted by the brand Rightly so because the industry was driven by channel driven promotions building a brand at that time was uncommon sense During 1983 the company tried to reposition the brand as a premium brand Asian Paints initiated the corporate campaign aimed to position the company as the number one player in the industry The objective was to upgrade to a more margin premium product marketer The corporate campaign Spectrum of Excellence was aimed to increase the Salience of the brand in a quiet market
But this campaign failed to inspire any interest in the consumers and the company felt that the market is moving towards a commodity market where price is the most important differential Asian Paints undertook a consumer research aimed at understanding the perception of consumers about the product category The research revealed lot of interesting insights Consumers felt that paints could change the mood of the space and it was a sign of festival and plenitude It could make a gloomy place bright and pleasant From this insight came the campaign of Asian Paints associating itself with festivals Research also confirmed that customers tend to repaint their houses on the occasion of festivities Thus born the campaign Celebrate with Asian Paints The campaigns were carefully crafted and there were different campaign for different regions These campaigns effectively enhanced the brand equity of Asian Paints and established itself as a premium brand More than that these campaign ensured an emotional connect with a brand in a low involvement category The brand also phased out many sub brands and rest of the sub brands was brought under Asian Paints umbrella brand
During the late nineties the brand had to be reinvented Because no longer festivities formed an important part in ones life Since many brands went after festival seasons the positioning platform has become cluttered More over the consumer buying behavior has changed The category was becoming less seasonal People started associating more importance to home decor and interiors The choice of color became a high involvement decision From a low involvement category paint was increasingly becoming a high involvement category
The brand also went in a brand overhaul The logo was changed to a contemporary upmarket one designed by Entreprise IG based in Singapore The logodesign was to convey self expression sophistication and Technology
Thus came the birth of a wonderful positioning strategy created by OampM The insight was that the brand is about people and homes and homes reflect the people living in it Hence Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai translated to Every Home has a story to tell This campaign is a perfect example of a brand laddering up and connecting to a higher level in the mind of the customer The campaigns reinforced the brand as a premium emotional brandAlong with the campaign Asian Paints also ran parallel ads for its sub brands Saif Ali Khan endorsed the premium brand Royale For Apex Ultima the campaign was highly localized and was different in different market

Taking a cue from the success of Ghar campaign the brand took ownership of the COLOR The insight is that each color has a story to tell The latest campaign reflects on the color and uses the campaign Har Rang Kuch Kehta hai translated to Every color has a story to tell The brand is so serious about the color that it has tied up with IIT to explore new colors and conduct research on colorsAsian Paints is a classic branding story and the brand is still exploring and growing

hapless octogenarian to a green wall and claims that her dad loves that wall ldquoKyun ki papa ko matar bahut pasand hairdquo The girl then points toward a brown wall and hopefully prods ldquoYeh Chintu aur meri favorite wall hairdquo The grandmother ponders the question ldquobrownrdquo to which the tot seiz- es her opportunity ldquoBrown nahin nani chocolatehellip Kyun ki

ldquoStrangely enough the previous film on this campaign (the Cutting- Shutting ad) was shot just after July 26th last year and we waded through water to the sets This year as well it poured like crazy and we all literally waded into the sets Next year when we finalize the shoot dates for the next ad we will inform the Meteorological department it seems to be a more accurate way of predicting floods in Mumbairdquo jokes Abhijeet Yet another gem in Ogilvyrsquos stunning tiara this tongue-in cheek ad stands out for its easy amp poignant appeal But then using cute kids to convey a brand message always does pay right

STRATEGIC MANTRAS OF ASIAN PAINTS LIMITED - A WHOLE AND REALISTIC VIEWAsian Paints sound marketing has earned it strong brand equity It has been able to do it by focusing on product features that are appreciated by customers And by ensuring that the products are of high and consistent quality and are widely available b Enviable track record in breaking away the position of MNCs in the Indian paint Industry building a strong distribution system The paint industry of India is more then 100 years old Its beginning can be traced to the setting up of factory by Shalimar Paints in Kolkata in 1902 Till the advent of World War II The industry
consisted of just a few foreign companies and some small Indigenous producers Foreign companies continued to dominate the industry
At the time Asian Paints entered the Indian paint business Distribution was the most crucial task for any new entrant Both physical distribution and channel management posed formidable challenges The foreign companies and their wholesale distributors dominated the business Also they were shutting the doors on any new paint company seeking an entry into the business They concentrated on big cities where they could make the sales without much investment in distribution infrastructure and market development
Asian Paints sized up the scenario and formulated a unique strategy It went in
for a strategy that differed totally from the existing pattern
Elements of Asian Paints Marketing Strategy
1 Bypassed the bulk buyer segment and went to individual consumers of paints
2 Went slow on urban areas and concentrated on semi urban and rural areas
3 Asian Paints went retail While its competitors remained content with a handful of wholesale distributors AP preferred direct contact with hundreds of retail dealers

Brand Image ndash USP ndash Positioning with Advt Examples
BRAND POSITIONING It is how the Asian paints enabled people to form a mental image for theirproducts in the customerrsquos mind The strategies that they followed where asfollows
Brand Image The ways in which Asian Paints attempted to meet the customerrsquos psychologicaland social needsIndian paint industry is a low involvement industry Till 1990speople will just tell their budget for painting their house to their contractorsAnd few customers will also mention the colour they need During that periodAsian Paints analyzed the customer market and found that people where notbrand conscious but their concern was only the price of the paint To meet thisneeds of the customerbull Asian paints reduced the cost of the raw materials by backward integration inorder to reduce the cost of the paintsbull Established an advertising strategy with created an emotional touch among thecustomersAll these strategies helped them in creating a ldquoBrand Imagerdquo for their productsamong people and people started realizing the need for brand conscious in thisindustry
Umbrella Brand In 2004 the company realized that though they have almost 20 brands only fewproducts like Apex emulsion Royale interior emulsion Apcolite and Touchwood had high recall among the customers Therefore they decided to promote Brand Portfolio
It was realized that instead of spending on individual brands and in promoting them it was logical to promote their corporate image and all the brands under their umbrella brands ldquo Asian Paints has embarked on an umbrella branding policy encompassing all its products and services The project includes a new visual identity that establishes the company name as the dominant reason for purchase Tractor Royale Utsav and Apcolite names are no longer the focus on the can rather consumers will be buying Asian Paints Some key brand names are being retained for the time being--to signal a position in the market rather than a product or surface For instance Tractor will represent the value for money brands The immediate advantage is obvious Rather than spread resources thinly across brands and sub-brands a company centric portfolio can synergize communication efforts To be competitive in a world of fragmentation and rising costs traditional mass media such as television can be prohibitively costly With the umbrella-branding move Asian Paints can also afford to move forward from a mere functional platform for each individual product to the high ground of a mood-based emotional dimension
An Underlying Theme At Asian Paints the underlying theme is Har ghar kuchh kehta hai or every home has something to say The depth and texture visualized by this line goes into the customers basic psyche of owning a home and will carry through various messages emanating from the company which is the leader in the decorative coatings market in India
Asian Paints Every Color Tells a Story Asian Paints started its journey in 1942 with four young men in a garage in Bombay The name Asian Paints was picked randomly from the telephone directory The brand has traveled from that garage to become a Rs 1000 crore brandFrom 1968 this brand occupies a premium position in the Indian Paint industry
The story of the evolution of Asian Paints as a brand is interesting The brand now has an iconic status in the industry thanks to some blockbuster big ideas from OampM The brand once positioned as a Mass market brand has evolved itself to a higher plane
Indian paint industry can be broadly divided into two segmentsaDecorative segment which constitutes the wall paints Exterior and Interior wood paintsetcbIndustrial segment which consists of automotive paints and paints for industrial sectorDecorative segment constitutes around 75 of the total paint industry and Asian Paints is the market leader with around 44 share In the Industrial segment Nerolac is the marketleader
In the decorative segment it is interesting to see how Asian Paints have changed the buying process of
the product like paints Paints are usually considered to be a low involvement product In earlier times the decision of the brand was taken by the buildercontractor and the home owners does not involve much in the process may be the decision of color rest with the house ownersAsian Paints realized the need for brand building even during sixties But at that point of time the company had a wide range of brandssubbrands The focus of the company was on product innovation and service network and managing quality proposition
The brand focused on mass and rural market Asian Paints had a mascot called Gattu who was created by the celebrated cartoonist R K Laskhman These efforts made the brand a leader during the late sixties
Then the company realised that although volume justified the leadership position share of mind for the brand was very low That was the result of the mass segmentation adopted by the brand Rightly so because the industry was driven by channel driven promotions building a brand at that time was uncommon sense During 1983 the company tried to reposition the brand as a premium brand Asian Paints initiated the corporate campaign aimed to position the company as the number one player in the industry The objective was to upgrade to a more margin premium product marketer The corporate campaign Spectrum of Excellence was aimed to increase the Salience of the brand in a quiet market
But this campaign failed to inspire any interest in the consumers and the company felt that the market is moving towards a commodity market where price is the most important differential Asian Paints undertook a consumer research aimed at understanding the perception of consumers about the product category The research revealed lot of interesting insights Consumers felt that paints could change the mood of the space and it was a sign of festival and plenitude It could make a gloomy place bright and pleasant From this insight came the campaign of Asian Paints associating itself with festivals Research also confirmed that customers tend to repaint their houses on the occasion of festivities Thus born the campaign Celebrate with Asian Paints The campaigns were carefully crafted and there were different campaign for different regions These campaigns effectively enhanced the brand equity of Asian Paints and established itself as a premium brand More than that these campaign ensured an emotional connect with a brand in a low involvement category The brand also phased out many sub brands and rest of the sub brands was brought under Asian Paints umbrella brand
During the late nineties the brand had to be reinvented Because no longer festivities formed an important part in ones life Since many brands went after festival seasons the positioning platform has become cluttered More over the consumer buying behavior has changed The category was becoming less seasonal People started associating more importance to home decor and interiors The choice of color became a high involvement decision From a low involvement category paint was increasingly becoming a high involvement category
The brand also went in a brand overhaul The logo was changed to a contemporary upmarket one designed by Entreprise IG based in Singapore The logodesign was to convey self expression sophistication and Technology
Thus came the birth of a wonderful positioning strategy created by OampM The insight was that the brand is about people and homes and homes reflect the people living in it Hence Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai translated to Every Home has a story to tell This campaign is a perfect example of a brand laddering up and connecting to a higher level in the mind of the customer The campaigns reinforced the brand as a premium emotional brandAlong with the campaign Asian Paints also ran parallel ads for its sub brands Saif Ali Khan endorsed the premium brand Royale For Apex Ultima the campaign was highly localized and was different in different market

the product like paints Paints are usually considered to be a low involvement product In earlier times the decision of the brand was taken by the buildercontractor and the home owners does not involve much in the process may be the decision of color rest with the house ownersAsian Paints realized the need for brand building even during sixties But at that point of time the company had a wide range of brandssubbrands The focus of the company was on product innovation and service network and managing quality proposition
The brand focused on mass and rural market Asian Paints had a mascot called Gattu who was created by the celebrated cartoonist R K Laskhman These efforts made the brand a leader during the late sixties
Then the company realised that although volume justified the leadership position share of mind for the brand was very low That was the result of the mass segmentation adopted by the brand Rightly so because the industry was driven by channel driven promotions building a brand at that time was uncommon sense During 1983 the company tried to reposition the brand as a premium brand Asian Paints initiated the corporate campaign aimed to position the company as the number one player in the industry The objective was to upgrade to a more margin premium product marketer The corporate campaign Spectrum of Excellence was aimed to increase the Salience of the brand in a quiet market
But this campaign failed to inspire any interest in the consumers and the company felt that the market is moving towards a commodity market where price is the most important differential Asian Paints undertook a consumer research aimed at understanding the perception of consumers about the product category The research revealed lot of interesting insights Consumers felt that paints could change the mood of the space and it was a sign of festival and plenitude It could make a gloomy place bright and pleasant From this insight came the campaign of Asian Paints associating itself with festivals Research also confirmed that customers tend to repaint their houses on the occasion of festivities Thus born the campaign Celebrate with Asian Paints The campaigns were carefully crafted and there were different campaign for different regions These campaigns effectively enhanced the brand equity of Asian Paints and established itself as a premium brand More than that these campaign ensured an emotional connect with a brand in a low involvement category The brand also phased out many sub brands and rest of the sub brands was brought under Asian Paints umbrella brand
During the late nineties the brand had to be reinvented Because no longer festivities formed an important part in ones life Since many brands went after festival seasons the positioning platform has become cluttered More over the consumer buying behavior has changed The category was becoming less seasonal People started associating more importance to home decor and interiors The choice of color became a high involvement decision From a low involvement category paint was increasingly becoming a high involvement category
The brand also went in a brand overhaul The logo was changed to a contemporary upmarket one designed by Entreprise IG based in Singapore The logodesign was to convey self expression sophistication and Technology
Thus came the birth of a wonderful positioning strategy created by OampM The insight was that the brand is about people and homes and homes reflect the people living in it Hence Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai translated to Every Home has a story to tell This campaign is a perfect example of a brand laddering up and connecting to a higher level in the mind of the customer The campaigns reinforced the brand as a premium emotional brandAlong with the campaign Asian Paints also ran parallel ads for its sub brands Saif Ali Khan endorsed the premium brand Royale For Apex Ultima the campaign was highly localized and was different in different market
