VADILAL
From a small outlet in Ahmedabad over 80 years back, Vadilal Industries Ltd has today emerged as Indias second largest ice cream player. The company is also one of the largest processed food players in India with significant exports of frozen vegetables and ready to eat snacks, curries and breads. Vadilals aim is to become an Indian MNC in Icecreams and frozen foods and to provide products and services at an affordable price without compromising on quality.
vadilal Industries has two ice cream production facilities one at Pundhra in Gandhinagar district, Gujarat and the other one at Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh. It has a very strong distribution network of 50,000 retailers Vadilal entered the processed foods industry to optimiseutilisation of its extensive cold chain network in the 1990s. It currently caters to the domestic and export markets with products such as frozen vegetables and ready to eat snacks, curries and breads. This business is poised for strong growth in the coming years owing to greater urbanisation within India and increasing demand for Indian food amongst developed regions like the USA and western Europe. The companys national ice cream market share would have been even higher but for the fact that it does not operate in
major consuming regions like Maharashtra and the four southern states as these are covered by another faction of the Vadilal family
MAKETING MIX
The term "marketing mix" was coined in 1953 by Neil Borden in his American Marketing Association presidential address. However, this was actually a reformulation of an earlier idea by his associate, James Culliton, who in 1948 described the role of the marketing manager as a "mixer of ingredients", who sometimes follows recipes prepared by others, sometimes prepares his own recipe as he goes along, sometimes adapts a recipe from immediately available ingredients, and at other times invents new ingredients no one else has tried. The marketing mix (price, product, distribution, promotion) forms the entire promotional campaign. Marketing decisions generally fall into the following four controllable categories: Product Price Place (distribution) Promotion
PRODUCT
PRODUCT Product is the physical thing or the service that one is selling e.g a book as well nursing could be called as products. Product is perhaps the most important P of marketing. If the product is not of the right standard and quality it will not succeed no matter how good the other Ps of marketing are.

PRICE
Price means the amount of money one pays to acquire the possession of the product, Price is a very important factor in marketing. It should be according to the other Ps.

Here, the margin of C & F agent is added to the MRP of the Ice Cream. Also the distribution cost is higher for such states so these states have to pay some what higher charges for the Vadilal Ice cream.
