A strong rival brands “Complan, Horlicks and Bournvita” are now conceptually focusing on “Energy of milk”. All brands are targeting on children growth by which conveying common message i.e. it includes many types of vitamins, proteins, calcium which will make strong bones, gives energy & growth.

Recently Bournvita has released the aggressive campaign on “Getting Calcium from milk or not?” It has shown in television commercial where one mother is asking to another mother that “what are you doing for calcium while you are giving milk to your child?” And, that another mother is replied thrice time “I am giving milk to my child”.

At that time, first mother is pointing out that “your child is getting calcium from that milk or not!”. Then quickly, another mother feeling confuse and thinking, what does it mean?.

And at the end of campaign voice over conveying message that “Use Bournvita which will be quickly absorbing with milk where children can get good energy”. Overall, Bournvita campaign is seems like as Horlicks campaign. As well, Bournvita has executed similar concept as like Horlicks.

Horlicks is now coming with the punch line “Dudh main Horlicks Milao, Dudh ki shakti badhao i.e.( Don’t drink milk without Horlicks) which is targeting to children.

Therefore, Bournvita also came up with similar concept. However, this campaign has been come back from market due to “your child is getting calcium from that milk or not!”. And, again it has come up with new one tvc campaign. That prior campaign was giving negative impact in market and television viewers also feeling clutter because it has launched very aggressively as well as running continue through out day. New campaign is good and it may again change the mind from old campaign.

If we talk about Complan brand which is being promoted by punch line “I am Complan Boy” since brand launching years. Today, Complan brand is also focusing on that same “energy concept” but it is more focusing on “Height wise growth”. The TVC shown that children will grow four time fasters than normal one if they will use complain.

Recently, Complan has also released campaign in which a crowd of mother is visiting to “Department of Nutrition” where a Doctor is explaining the benefits of Complan. The main thing is that showing “Department of Nutrition” in order to attract consumers and getting trust from consumers.

Conclusion:-

It may give negative impact if such brands will be promoting by over-act. It gives clutter too where viewers may avoid advertisement. Because, everyone Indian is know very well about “Complan, Bournvita and Horlicks”. So, it does not need to promote by over-act or very aggressively where it feels clutter.

“One Milk, Three Brands Complan, Horlicks & Bournvita.” So, Do you want Energy of Milk?

Yes,..Agree with all of you. Thanks to all of you for sharing your views.. 

Such ads may be give negative impact n brand value in mind of consumers. And, consumers are very well know everything ..so, it does not need to shown such things. It feels like, ads are showing for fight between rivals instead of consumers ...

Thanks to all once again ..

And, i agree with Mr.jayprakash that Pedia sure having 33 ingredients but yet i have not heard or got any result from any other person. But, you might right because, you have seen. It is good that it gives result. 

Thanks.

Yah, I totally agree with Mr. Srinivas.If such kind of products mixed with milk, then it means we mix these only for change the taste and nothing else. And all these three products are having only 23 vital nutrient. Yes, for getting result I suggest all mothers to give their child only Pediasure, which is having 37 vital nutrient,and no need to mix with milk... and it has been proved

Non of them work, it just to change the taste of the milk because children don't drink milk until some flavour is added into it.

All are non-sense, whether it is Complan, Horlicks and Bournvita.  I am speaking from my own experience.  My kids used Complan for several years.  I havent find any growth as far as height is concerned as claimed by Complan.  Same is the case with Horlicks and Bournvita.  I suggest using the Soya Been milk for good results. All this add campaign is a trash.
