SUCCESS BATTLE OF NIRMA In 1970s, when Nirma washing powder was introduced

in the low-income market, Hindustan Lever Limited(HLL) signified that it didn’t consider Nirma as its competitor by remarking

“That Is not our market”. But Nirma successfully overtook a huge share of the

market from HLL within a very limited span of time. But after its popularity in low-income market, HLL was

convinced that it really needed to take a closer look. But by then it was too late and within three decades

Nirma became RS.17 BILLION COMPANY.

Page 12: Presentation on journey of nirma

Initially, the advertising cost spent on the company was very low in comparison to other FMCG companies.

The reason behind it was that Nirma always preferred to follow some basic steps:

•to place the product on the shelves first•receive feedback, and •then create an enduring ad campaign.

For instance, North preferred PINK soaps while the South preferred GREEN soaps.

Page 13: Presentation on journey of nirma

• The brand name became almost synonymous with low-priced detergents and toilet soaps.• After its success in low-income market Nirma realized that it would have to launch new products for the upper end of the market.• So company launched toilet soaps for the

premium segment.• By1999 , Nirma became India’s second

largest manufacturer of toilet soaps .

Page 14: Presentation on journey of nirma

. In 2000, share of Nirma in toilet soap segment was 15% and it increased to more than 30% share which was above the expectation of the analysts.. At the end of march 2000 Nirma’s turnover increased by 17% over the previous fiscal, to RS.17.17 billion.

. In 1985, Nirma washing powder had become one of the most popular detergent brands in many parts of the country and had an 80% share in the product market.

. By 1999,Nirma was a major consumer brand-offering a range of detergents soaps and personal care products.

Page 16: Presentation on journey of nirma

One of d major reason behind the success of Nirma was that it curtailed its costs of distribution by eliminating intermediaries.

NIRMA proved to be the best example for exploding the myth that: “BETTER QUALITY ALWAYS DEMANDS HIGHER PRICE”

Priced almost 40% lesser, it provided a very attractive ‘VALUE FOR MONEY PROPOSITION’.Moreover, by 1996,its powder was available in 25g, 500g and 1000g Packs. This product out-classed its competitor brands.

Page 20: Presentation on journey of nirma

. Unlike the economy products, where the cost benefits were passed on to the consumers, Nirma passed on this benefit to the retailers. It gave them huge margins.

Page 24: Presentation on journey of nirma

Nirma used to sell its product at very low prices but rather than this turning out to be an advantage people considered Nirma to be a cheap brand and people were ashamed to admit that they were using nirma.

To shed this image, in the Nineties, Nirma released corporate advertisements worth Rs 10 bn throughout India.

MISCONCEPTION

Page 25: Presentation on journey of nirma

. The main reason of the brand promotion of Nirma was its wide range of its distribution market penetration and network consist of 400 distributors and over 2 million retail outlets across the country .. Within a short span, Nirma had completely rewritten the rules of the game, by offering good quality products at an unbeatable price.. After establishing itself in India, Nirma expanded to Markets abroad in 1999.
