MARKETING MIX OF GODREJ:


5MARKETING MIX OF GODREJ :
Mostly people or businesses will focus on Price, Place,
Promotion and Product as their elements of marketing mix. But now the marketing mix is
increased with Five P¶s and also to Seven P¶s. Regarding Godrej and whirlpool we are going to
mostly concentrate with Four P¶s i.e. Price, Place, Promotion and Product.
MARKETING MIX OF GODREJ:
PRODUCT: Godrej product is there in much kind of businesses namely Home appliance
(Refrigerators, Air-conditioners, Washing machine, Microwave and DVD¶s), FMCG
(Cinthol, Hershey¶s chocolate syrup, Good knight, Hair colour and hair dye), Agri
(Animal feeds, Oil palms, Plantation, Agro chemical and poultry), Furniture (Cup board,

good brand loyalty over the periods. It has been form the late 1897. In home appliances

more than 70% of his revenue comes from Refrigerators. In Fmcg they achieve most of
their revenue through hair colour and dye. Almost many of the companies and firms and
banks use godrej security system because it is a trusted one also same in the case of
doors and locks which is used in houses also.
PRICE: There are many ways to price a product, they are Premium pricing, Penetration
pricing, Economy pricing, Price skimming, Psychological pricing, Product line pricing,
Optional product pricing, Captive product pricing, Product bundling price, Geographical
pricing and Value pricing but Godrej philosophy had all been to deliver value for money
to its customers despite being priced economically, Godrej maintained his product
quality, so that is the reason many of the people do not consider about the price when
they go for brand godrej.
PLACE: It is also known as channel, distribution, or intermediary. It is the mechanism
through which goods/services are moved from the manufacturer to the consumer.

Godrej home appliances are sold in retail outlets like Vivek&co, Vasanth&co. and Girias
etc« In the case of Fmcg product it is given to the small store to big retail store like Big
Bazaar through theirs distributors allocated in each state or city. In the case of security
system and doors it is available in hardware stores and security system and banking
automation services is fitted directly by Godrej. Godrej & Boyce Mfg.Co.Ltd has a
network of 38 companies-owned showrooms and more than 2200 Wholesale dealers
and more than 18,000 Retail Outlets.

PROMOTION: This includes all of the tools available to the marketer for µmarketing
communication¶. Promotions are done in four ways Advertising, Public relations,
Personal selling and sales promotion. Godrej has a unique way of advertising their
product. For example their DVD¶s advertisement is considered has funny advertising
amongst the people. They advertise their Fmcg and home appliances product through
outlets, through big banners in important cities, through television and internet
advertisement and they have their own company websites through which people can
get to know about all the products of godrej and also about their companies.

MARKETING MIX ELEMENT WHICH I LIKE MOST:

GODREJ: Marketing mix element which i like most in godrej is Promotion because they
have unique way of promoting their product. In line with Godrej Masterbrand¶s promise
of µBrighter Living¶, the godrej group has launched GoJiyo.com ± India¶s first online
virtual world. GoJiyo will be platform for the godrej brand & it¶s portfolio to engage with

the restless, upwardly mobile Indian youth in powerful, experimental manner. They also
advertise their product in very funny way that is advertising of its DVD¶s product and they
advertise their product in such a way which is accepted by most of the people. Godrej is an
Umbrella branding, so they have got a greater advantage because good promotion of one
product will carry forward to other product also which create more brand loyalty to its entire
product amongst the people.

CONCLUSION:
Since Godrej is very trusted brand in India and because it came to India well before
Whirlpool Godrej enjoys more advantage than whirlpool. Since godrej product
diversification in Fmcg and also in real estate apart from electronic goods it enjoys
growth in all the fields because of its expansion of businesses where as whirlpool dose
not see that much growth because it has diversification business only in electronic
goods. Because Godrej uses umbrella branding for its entire diversified product it
creates huge brand loyalty amongst the people than whirlpool. The Godrej name yields
powerful influence today¶s rapidly transforming social and economic environment.
