PROMOTIONS :

Since its launch in the country in the year 1982, Maggi noodles has been continuously using ATL and BTL strategies to alert its customers about its latest offerings and goodness of the present products.
Initially, when Maggi noodles were launched in the country, the sales did not pick up inspite of heavy media spend and promotions. On research, they found that the basic problem that the brand was facing was the Indian psyche. They changed there positioning from 'fast to cook - good to eat' to 'bas 2 minute mein'. They further promoted the product by distributing free samples, giving gifts on return of empty packets etc.

A brilliant promotional strategy was that Maggi was a sponsor for 'Hum Log', a popular TV show on DD, India's sole channel in 1984. Since then, it has launched multiple campaigns, one of the most prominent ones being 'Main aur Meri Maggi' campaign to celebrate 25 years of Maggi in India.

  1. Try Authentic and Fresh Indian Grocery Online at cartloot is one of the trusted Indian online grocery & shopping Store, which provide Genuine Indian Food, Indian groceries, Indian snacks, Spices, baby care, beauty care, and jewelry at the best prices with high quality.
    Having delicious Indian Food Online on your table might be as easy as ordering an Indian takeaway, but, making the meal yourself might be an arduous task since you're unsure what spices to use to form the incredible smell and aromas peculiar to Indian dishes.
    Whether it’s a time period or an evening at the hostel, Maggi has always come to the rescue of those in need. But, if there's something that it lacks (let’s be honest) is to combat one’s health. The Maggi Oats raise to bridge that gap.
