segment with a 70% of that total share in the market.

“namkeens”industry. Hence the project mainly focuses on studying Haldiram’s
namkeen division, though other areas have been briefly mentioned Haldiram’s offers
a wide range of products to its customers. The product range includes namkeens,
sweets sharbat, bakery items, dairy products,chips, papad and ice creams. However

1.2) Marketing of Haldiram:
Haldirams product promotion had been low key until competitionintensified in
the snack foods market. Consequently, attractive posters,brochures and mailers were
designed to enhance the visibility of theHaldirams brand. Different varieties of posters
were designed to appeal tothe masses.
The punch line for Haldirams products was, ‘Always in good taste.’
Advertisements depicting the entire range of Haldirams sweets andnamkeens
were published in the print media (magazines and newspapers).These advertisements
had captions such as ‘millions of tongues can’t gowrong,’ ‘What are you waiting for,
Diwali?’ and ‘Keeping your taste buds on their toes.To increase the visibility of the
Haldirams brand, the company placed itshoardings in high traffic areas such as
train stations and bus stations.Posters were designed for display on public transport
vehicles such asbuses, and hoardings, focused on individual products were developed.
Captions such as ‘yeh corn hain’ (this is corn), ‘chota samosa – big mazaa’ (small
samosa – big entertainment), ‘yeh Kashmiri mix khoob jamega’ (thisnamkeen item
will gel well) and ‘oozing with taste’ (for Rasgoolas) promoted individual products.
For those customers who wanted to know more about Haldirams products, special
brochures were designed which described the products and gave information about
the ingredients used to make it. Mailers were also sent to loyal customers
and important corporate clients as a token of appreciation for their patronage.
There is a strong emphasis on international standards of manufacturing and
quality control. HALDIRAM’S products taste like they have arrived fresh out of
granny’s kitchen; they share the Indian granny’s proverbial fetish for hygiene. Their
ethos may date back to vintage India, but by outlook is every bit as professional as
that of a progressive, modern day Indian company. They have regular laboratory
check to ensure that the quality parameters of FDA, USA and Safety Act, UK are met
at every level - raw material to finished products. They also have advanced in-house
testing facilities for Aflatoxin, Pesticides, Sudan colors and other Microbiological
tests and the laboratory is not all there is. they have a definite environmental policy in
place, which lays emphasis on waste management, water and energy conservation

1.3) Diversified Products:
HALDIRAM Marketing Pvt Ltd, manufacturers of Haldiram's brand of Indian
snack foods, is to diversify into production of biscuits, pastas and noodles.
According to Mr Manohar Agarwal, Managing Director, the company plans to
invest over Rs 50 crore in a new plant to produce instant noodles and pastas. The
company is in talks with Italian players to acquire the technology.
The unit, planned in Uttaranchal, would commence production by March 2007
to take advantage of tax benefits, which was the reason the plant was coming up there,
he said. It had bought over 10 acres of land and discussions with Italian companies
were at an advanced stage.
The new product range will also be under the Haldiram's brand. The Rs 1,000-
crore family-managed company has over six manufacturing units each churning out
over 60-70 tonnes of `namkeens,' `bujjias' and other savouries every day. It also
produces over 70-75 varieties of sweets, but except for a few canned varieties, these
are mostly sold over the counter at their exclusive outlets in Delhi, Bikaner, Nagpur
and Kolkata.
Mr Agarwal was talking to reporters on the sidelines of FoodPro 2005, the
biennial event on food processing organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry.
His brothers - and in Kolkata, his cousins - look after the enterprises that have
a cumulative turnover of more than Rs 1,000 crore. The family also operates over 15
restaurants in Delhi, Nagpur and West Bengal.
Mr Agarwal prefers to keep it all within the family. No expansion was planned
in the South or going for the franchisee route. That was just not on the cards, he
said.Exports account for about Rs 60-70 crore, and this has been a natural growth that
has happened over the last four or five years that the company has been in exports. No
hard selling, he said.
Though it had concentrated on traditional snacks the decision to diversify into
the new product range was driven by market trends, he said.

contributes close to 60% of its total revenues. By specializing in the manufacturing in
the namkeen market the company has created a niche market. The raw materials used
to prepare namkeens are of best of quality and are sourced from all over India.

The food industry in India is forever changing to suit their consumers’ palate,
preference and pocket. All the players in the industry thus, have to constantly adapt to
the ever-changing trends and invent and re-invent themselves to stay in the league.
Haldiram’s competes on the basis of numerous factors including brand
recognition due to distinct packaging, product quality, traditional taste and authentic
Indian flavour.
1.6) Marketing Mix of Haldiram:
The marketing mix is a business tool used in marketing and by marketers.
The marketing mix is often crucial when determining a product or brand's offer, and is
often associated with the four P's: price, product, promotion, and place. In service
marketing, however, the four Ps are expanded to the seven P's or Seven P's to
address the different nature of services.
In the 1990s, the concept of four C's was introduced as a more customer-
driven replacement of four P's. There are two theories based on four Cs: Lauterborn's
four Cs (consumer, cost, communication, convenience), and Shimizu's four Cs
(commodity, cost, communication, channel).
In 2012, a new four P's theory was proposed with people, processes, programs,
and performance.
Haldiram’s offers a wide range of products to its customers. The product range
includes namkeens, sweets sharbats, bakery items, dairy products, chips, pappad and
ice creams. However namkeens remain the main area of focus for the group as it
contributes close to 60% of its total revenues. By specializing in the manufacturing in
the namkeen market the company has created a niche market. The raw materials used
to prepare namkeens are of best of quality and are sourced from all over India.
Haldiram’s customizes its products to suit the tastes and preferences of
customers from different parts of India. It launched products, which catered to the
tastes of people belonging to specific regions. For example it launched ‘Murukkus’ a
south Indian Snack and Chennai Mixture’ for south Indian customers. Similarly
Haldiram’s launched ‘bhelpuri’ keeping in mind customers residing in western India.
The company offered certain products such as ‘Nazarana’, ‘Panchratan’ and
Bhartiya Mahavidyalay, Amravati Page 8
“An analytical study of Products of Haldiram Special Reference to Amravati city”
‘Premium’ only during the festival season in gift packs. These measures have helped
Haldiram’s compete effectively in a market that is flooded with a variety of snack
items in different shapes, sizes & flavors. It has also recently launched biscuits &
cookies.
Haldiram's offered a wide range of products to its customers. The product
range included namkeens, sweets, sharbats5, bakery items, dairy products, papad6 and
ice-creams (See Exhibit I for details of product range). However, namkeens remained
the main focus area for the group contributing close to 60% of its total revenues. By
specializing in the manufacturing of namkeens, the company seemed to have created a
niche market.
Haldiram's sought to customize its products to suit the tastes and preferences
of customers from different parts of India. It launched products, which catered to the
tastes of people belonging to specific regions. For example, it launched 'Murukkus,' a
South Indian snack, and 'Chennai Mixture' for south Indian customers. Similarly,
Haldiram's launched 'Bhelpuri,' keeping in mind customers residing in western India.
The company offered certain products such as 'Nazarana,' 'Panchratan,' and 'Premium'
only during the festival season in gift packs. These measures helped Haldiram's
compete effectively in a market that was flooded with a variety of snack items in
different shapes, sizes and flavors.
Pricing
Haldiram's offered its products at competitive prices in order to penetrate the
huge unorganized market of namkeens and sweets. The company's pricing strategy
took into consideration the price conscious nature of consumers in India.
Haldiram's launched namkeens in small packets of 30 grams, priced as low as
Rs.5. The company also launched namkeens in five different packs with prices
varying according to their weights (Refer Table I). The prices also varied on the basis
of the type of namkeens and the raw materials used to manufacture it. The cost of
metallized packing7 also had an impact on the price, especially in the case of snack
foods. The company revised the prices of its products upwards only when there was a
steep increase in the raw material costs or additional taxes were imposed.
Place
Bhartiya Mahavidyalay, Amravati Page 9
“An analytical study of Products of Haldiram Special Reference to Amravati city”
Haldiram's developed a strong distribution network to ensure the widest
possible reach for its products in India as well as overseas. From the manufacturing
unit, the company's finished goods were passed on to carrying and forwarding (C&F)
agents. C&F agents passed on the products to distributors, who shipped them to retail
outlets. While the Delhi unit of Haldiram's had 25 C&F agents and 700 distributors in
India, the Nagpur unit had 25 C&F agents and 375 distributors. Haldiram's also had
35 sole distributors in the international market. The Delhi and Nagpur units together
catered to 0.6 million retail outlets in India. C&F agents received a commission of
around 5%, while distributors earned margins ranging from 8% to 10%. The retail
outlets earned margins ranging from 14% to 30%. At the retail outlet level, margins
varied according to the weight of packs sold. Retailers earned more margins ranging
from 25% to 30% by selling 30 gms pouches (priced at Rs.5) compared to the packs
of higher weights. Apart from the exclusive showrooms owned by Haldiram's, the
company offered its products through retail outlets such as supermarkets, sweet shops,
provision stores, bakeries and ice cream parlors. The products were also available in
public places such as railway stations and bus stations that accounted for a sizeable
amount of its sales.
Promotion
Haldiram's product promotion had been low key until competition intensified
in the snack foods market. The company tied with 'Profile Advertising' for promoting
its products. Consequently, attractive posters, brochures and mailers were designed to
enhance the visibility of the Haldiram's brand...
Positioning
The above initiatives helped Haldiram's to uniquely position its brand.
Haldiram's also gained an edge over its competitors by minimizing promotion costs.
Appreciating the company's efforts at building brand, an analyst said, "Haldiram once
was just another sweet maker but it has moved into trained brands first by improving
the product quality and packaging. Through its clever products and brilliant
distribution it had moved into the star category of brands."...
The Road Ahead
Bhartiya Mahavidyalay, Amravati Page 10
“An analytical study of Products of Haldiram Special Reference to Amravati city”
In the financial year 2001-2002, the combined turnover of all three units of
Haldiram's was estimated at Rs. 4 billion. The company targeted a growth of 15% for
the financial year 2002-2003. Analysts felt that, given the competition in the industry,
Haldiram's needed to develop new initiatives achieve this growth. The competition in
the ready-to-eat snack foods market in India was intensifying. Frito Lay India Ltd.
(Frito Lay), one of Haldiram's major competitors, was expanding its market share.
Instead of directly competing with the market leader Haldiram's, the company
launched innovative products in the market and backed them with heavy publicity...
1.6) Promotions of Haldiram Products:
Haldiram’s product promotion had been low key until competition intensified
in the snack foods market. The company tied with ‘Profile Advertising’ for promoting
its products. Consequently, attractive posters, brochures and mailers were designed to
enhance the visibility of the Haldiram’s brand. Different varieties of posters were
designed to appeal to the masses.
The punch line for Haldiram’s products was, ‘Always in good taste.’
Advertisements depicting the entire range of Haldiram’s sweets and namkeens were
published in the print media (magazines and newspapers). These advertisements had
captions such as ‘millions of tongues can’t go wrong,’ ‘What are you waiting for,
Diwali?’ and ‘Keeping your taste buds on their toes.
‘To increase the visibility of the Haldiram’s brand, the company placed its
hoardings in high traffic areas such as train stations and bus stations. Posters were
designed for display on public transport vehicles such as buses, and hoardings,
focused on individual products were developed. Captions such as ‘yeh corn hain’ (this
is corn), ‘chota samosa – big mazaa’ (small samosa – big entertainment), ‘yeh
Kashmiri mix khoob jamega’ (this namkeen item will gel well) and ‘oozing with
taste’ (for Rasgoolas) promoted individual products. For those customers who wanted
to know more about Haldiram’s products, special brochures were designed which
described the products and gave information about the ingredients used to make it.
Mailers were also sent to loyal customers and important corporate clients as a token of
appreciation for their patronage.
Bhartiya Mahavidyalay, Amravati Page 11
“An analytical study of Products of Haldiram Special Reference to Amravati city”
Packaging was an important aspect of Haldiram’s product promotion. Since
namkeens were impulse purchase items, attractive packaging in different colors
influenced purchases. Haldiram’s used the latest technology (food items were packed
in nitrogen filled pouches) to increase the shelf life of its products. While the normal
shelf life of similar products was under a week, the shelf life of Haldiram’s products
was about six months. The company projected the shelf life of its products as its
unique selling proposition. Posters highlighting the shelf life of its products carried
the caption ‘six months on the shelf and six seconds in your mouth.’ During festival
season, Haldiram’s products were sold in attractive looking special gift packs.
The showrooms and retail outlets of Haldiram’s gave importance to point of
purchase (POP) displays. Haldiram’s snacks were displayed on special racks, usually
outside retail outlets. The showrooms had sign boards displaying mouth-watering
delicacies with captions such as ‘Chinese Delight,’ Simply South,’ ‘The King of all
Chats'. Posters containing a brief account of the history of Haldiram’s, along with
pictures of its products, were also on display at these showrooms.
Haldiram’s also diversified into the restaurant business to cash in on its brand
image. The company established restaurants in Nagpur and Delhi. The restaurant at
Nagpur devised an innovative strategy to increase its business: It facilitated people
who were traveling by train through Nagpur station to order food from places where
stockists of Haldiram’s Nagpur unit were located. The customers could order for
lunch/dinner by sending a demand draft (DD) or cheque to the Nagpur unit or giving
the same to specified local distributors belonging to the Nagpur unit. Along with the
DD/cheque, customers had to provide information such as the name of the train, its
likely time of arrival at Nagpur, their names and coach and seat numbers.
Haldiram’s restaurants in Delhi also used innovative ways to attract
customers. The restaurant located at Mathura road had special play area for children.
To cater to NRI’s and foreign tourists, who hesitated to consume snack foods sold by
the roadside vendors since it was not prepared in a hygienic manner, the Haldiram’s
restaurant located in South Delhi used specially purified water to make snack foods
including pani puri and chat papri. These promotional strategies helped Haldiram’s to
compete effectively with local restaurant chains such as Nathus, Bikanerwala and
Agarwals and with western fast food chains such as McDonald’s and Pizza Hut.
