Unable to attract even a single girl, frustrated man sues Axe New Delhi. In what could prove to be a major marketing and legal embarrassment for Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), a 26-year-old man has filed a case against the FMCG company, which owns the Axe brand of men grooming products, for ‘cheating’ and causing him ‘mental suffering’. The plaintiff has cited his failure to attract any girl at all even though he’s been using Axe products for over seven years now. Axe advertisements suggest that the products help men in instantly attracting women. Vaibhav Bedi, the petitioner, also surrendered all his used, unused and half-used deodorant sprays, perfume sticks and roll-ons, anti-perspira...

HUL must have deployed under cover agents to check on the claims of Vaibhav. If they are able to find even 1 relationship where he is seen going out with a girl his case would loose steam. they may also plant a paid girl in Vaibhav's life. Just...

I thought it was a forward joke! The ads really dont deserve this much time/ effort/ money being spent behind them... They are shown in a fun spirit and to be taken as such.

Its a business!! Most sellers overhype the product! Look at any example - Do your teeth shine like they do in the case of the toothpaste commercials? Or your hair look like that in the shampoo or hair oil commercial? Or the car make women stop and...

Its a sort of cheating, if you claim for skin whitening in just seven days, it should be fortified with facts substantiated by results. I personally did not meet some one who seems to be benefited, till now, do you?

Some times the need of the hour is a broadcast medium, so venturing into new media is against the grain.

All emerging media is yet to attain critical mass. Currently, only the traditional media - TV, Print, Radio, Outdoor (Billboards etc), Cinema, Internet is able to reach a big chunk of people. All other media (clubbing as 'emergent media') reaches...

Hi Vanita, Bluetooth mktng indeed a very good concept to catch the people coming in malls etc to push the products. As you have rightly pointed out the concern of people being apprehensive to this emerging promotional way. Radio may be a good...

Objective is not to compete with currently existing sites. Rather to engage the viewers in a two way interation with NDTV and its anchors... This would make the viewers/ audience feel closer and develop a closer relation with the channel and its...

This will be successful business model in the long run - news channels are our main source of information across differnt happenings in the country. If they can connect with the viewers to take their feedback as well the common man's message will...

   will not die out so soon it will take a big change for the SMS to die donw, the SMS is not sent only via cell phone but also by mail so it will be difficult to kill SMS, it may reduce though but slowly
Amita Srivastava Yakhmi  |  Argues in support of  |  2 years ago
Unlikely that SMS will die out soon. May reduce over time... 1. Its the lowest common denominator in communication (apart from a call, of course) and the lower end handphones will continue usage for a while. 2. Also, its private - as in one cant...

Though I believe people will use SMS really less in future, I am a firm believer that SMS will not be dead, infact it will find itself to be more useful in interesting ways, as I was going through a conference on a website of IAMAI digital...

From my point of view, there are three types. 1. Upper Class-  Where it is nothing really to show to others, 2. Middle Class- Where people tend to show to upper class, 3. Lower Class- Only compete with their class only. Clarification:: 1. In case...
