Consumer Diversity
18/03/2008
Consumer Diversity • India’s economic diversity matches its social diversity • Class is difficult to define in India • Incomes alone don’t define the class • Purchase behaviour is related to cultural conditioning, location, source of income, education and occupation • The salaried prefer the finance packages but the rural rich relying on agriculture make cash purchases 18/03/2008
Small gives “Value” • Small is convenient • Small is affordable – Price • Small is to attract – Non-users – One time users – New users • Small saves the space 18/03/2008
Small is Big • For customers, small packs mean – Affordably priced products – Less investment – Reduced risk of buying
• And for companies, it translates into – Large volumes – Helps address diverse customer segment – Attracts non-users
• Single-serve packs are expected to find more prominence in low penetration categories like health food, baby products and more 18/03/2008
Small is Big – Retail Outlets • 15 million retail outlets spread across India • Stamping the country with the epithet "Shopkeepers' Nation" • More than 80% of these 15 million outlets are from small family businesses

Small is Big • Apart from paying less for a quality product, Indians are very sensitive to costs • A large section of sachet users feel that they can restrict the consumption of the product by buying sachets • Give consumers more of a chance to experiment with a larger range of brands • Sachets also grow due to the Indian tendency of top-up shopping, as opposed to buying large quantities at the end of the month 18/03/2008
Sachets: The Next Big (Small) Thing • Mass market phenomenon • 50 paise and Rs 1 are entry level • Sachets are well ensconced in few categories and the trend will a rising one • Increase category penetration of, which extends their appeal beyond just the lower end of the market • Work better with single-use categories with a low frequency of purchase • According to Kakkar, the market is polarised between the LPU consumers and those who prefer bottles 18/03/2008
War within a Brand to get a market share • Small pack vs. Big pack • Sachet vs. small bottle – – – – – – – – –

Small Packs • Sachet sales are strong in hair care and detergent categories • Detergents – Large pack users prefer the convenience of buying only one pack at a time, rather than using a sachet each time to wash clothes. – Low and mid-tier detergent sachet users, sachets act as a great trial-builder to eventually move to large packs" a P&G spokesperson said • Dabur’s Hajmola – Sachets are for a younger – Bottles are primarily a medicinal offering bought by older people 18/03/2008
