vital role by informing them about the features and inducing them to buy. Therefore, we organised various campaigns
listed below to make customers familiar with our product.
u ADVERTISEMENT THROUGH PAMPHLETS
Pamphlet distribution is a potent means of means of mass communication as it conveys to target customers information
about the qualities of the product. It is, thus, million-tongued salesmanship and is likely to reach many people.
u SALES PROMOTION
Short term incentives to buyers to make immediate purchase of a product are part of sales promotion.
Ø 1.) Public relations- Promoting the company's product in the eye of customers through variety of programmes /tools is
called public relations. Widely known tools are press releases, newsletters ,public service activities , sponsorships, etc.
Ø 2.) Sachets available at on entry pricing for low spending customers.
Ø 3.) Fluoride is the greatest defense against tooth decay, but children use less of it than adults. So we are offering low
fluoride paste flavors for children.
The promotion techniques are very useful because they are being short and most important for sales.
Some other campaign techniques other than we discussed before are:

toothpaste.
Example- A brush free with 200g of toothpaste.
Ø Samples: We will be distributing our samples to increase the sales. We have our sales person at various
societies to talk to our targeted customers directly.

denoting ₹1 from every purchase of 200g toothpaste towards education and welfare of children.
Ø Media- Media has become an important part of advertising and market process. Hence, we will advertise

PLACE

CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION:
1) Direct Channel: Manufacturer-Customer
2) Indirect Channel:
v One level channel: Manufacturer-Retailer-Customer
v Two level channel: Manufacturers- Wholesalers- Retailers- Customer
v Third level Channel: Manufacturers- Agents- Wholesalers- Retailers-
Customer
We opted for indirect channel i.e.Manufacturers- Wholesalers- Customer
because our product is standardised and can be easily transported. Also, It
can reach to large numbers of people in indirect channel.
MEANS OF TRANSPORT

u Distribution of products from the producer through intermediaries require


transportation. Poor transportation choices can result in higher costs and lower
profits. On the other hand, a slow dsitribution process can result in loss of profits
or loss of sale as retailers or consumers switch to competitors who provide their
goods more quickly.
u We decided to use trucks as the means of transportation to cover
long distances due to the following reasons:
1. This mode is very flexible in comparison to rail transport.
2. It can reach almost any destination relatively quickly.
3. It can make several steps on a single route.
4. Rail transportation cant reach as many destinations as trucks can.
