I felt the as per the size and scope of rural market. The brand, company has to be big enough to support the distribution network, inventories and investment capabilities. So rural market can be best explored by Big MNCs better than SMEs.

Yes definitely !!! By going through the little survey we can find out that in the recent recession period Most of the FMCG companies has spurred 15 to 20% growth. And the major cause for that - RURAL DEMAND HAS INCREASED. This is due to the...

1 Bundle of Complexities
2 Distribution
Ankit  |  Added idea  "Complexities..."  |  1 year ago
Market is too dynamic to chase, because loyalty depends on relationship, very less brand awareness and prices of the products.
Manish  |  Added idea  "consumer behaviour: price sensitivity & value propostion demanded"  |  1 year ago
I think consumers are highly price sensitive and functional value works better so could be difficult for branded goods to compete price warriors. Good avenue for topline growth but not for bottomline.
PRAPHUL ANIGOL  |  Supported idea  "Bundle of Complexities"  |  2 years ago
yes the market is quite heterogenous, challenge here is to customise but that will not be so economical, best ways is to choose the segments with highest potential and customise.

Eradication of nutritional deficiencies and water borne diseases from rural India need a more focussed approach than only introducing products for the so-called bottom of the pyramid. Though healthcare appears in the top 2 aspirations of rural customers, followed by children's education, ironically prevention of diseases/ hygiene do not figure anywhere in the list

Professor at IIM A was explaining marketing concepts: You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am very rich.Marry me!" That's Direct Marketing. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, "He's very rich.Marry him." That's Advertising. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say "Hi,I'm very rich.Marry me." That's Telemarketing. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride, and then say, "By the way, I'm very rich.Will you marry me?" That's Public Relations. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says, "You are very rich.." That's Brand Recognition. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
