    Place:-

    Perfect Stores

    The Perfect Stores initiative was launched by HUL , in May 2010, with the aim to

    improve the availability and visibility of its products in retail stores across the country.

    In May 2010, four thousand HUL employees from across functions launched the

    initiative through Project Bushfire and created 16,000 Perfect Stores in 130 towns in

    India in a span of 6 days.

    The employees not only laid out various products on the stores shelves but also dusted

    them, thereby transforming the whole look of the stores.

    The company is constantly increasing the number of stores it covers under the Perfect

    Stores program.

    Technology has played a key role in this initiative.

    The companys salesmen have been provided with a hand held terminal called iQ,

    which gives customized recommendations for each store which products to sell, whento sell them and in what quantity.

    The salesman just has to sync the iQ device when visiting the distributor and download

    data from the centre to retrieve information on the market.

    To strengthen this initiative, HUL launched POPeye [- an initiative that puts the power of

    iQ in the hands of the employees.

    When an HUL employee visits an outlet and finds the companys product out of stock,

    he can log stock calls either by logging on to the Popeye site, or report the information

    by phone or email.

    Khushiyon Ki Doli

    The company launched a multi-brand rural marketing initiative called Khushiyon Ki Doli,

    in 2010 in three states Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.

    Through this initiative more than 10 million consumers were contacted directly in more

    than 28,000 villages across these three states.

    Through this initiative, the company also reached out to 170,000 retailers in thesevillages.

    Through this initiative HUL engaged with 25 million rural consumers in media dark areas

    in 2011.

    Various personal care and home care brands of HUL have participated in this initiative

    including: Wheel, Surf Excel, FAL, Sunsilk, Vim, Lifebuoy and Closeup.

    The module follows a three-step process, starting with awareness, moving on to

    consumer engagement and finally retail contact.

    The first step of spreading awareness is achieved through a team of promoters who

    head to each village and invite the villages to what is known as Mohallas to make them

    aware of the company and its products.

    In every village, there are about 4-5 teams that conduct these events in local language

    for small focused groups so that it allows for greater engagement and involvement for

    the consumers.

    During this activity, brands are introduced with the help of TVCs that are played

    continuously.

    And the promoters by way of live demonstrations bring alive the hygiene benefits of

    using such brands and improving the quality of daily life.

    To increase the fun element and enhance involvement, promoters also conduct simple

    quizzes and games around the brands and daily hygiene habits.

    As part of this activation,the company offers schemes both for the participating

    consumers and also local retailers for generating trial among consumers as well

    enhancing availability at retail.

    Post the mohalla activity, the promotes go home to home and conduct consumer home

    visits to generate trial where they offer attractive promotions to the consumers.

    Similarly, there is another team which visits all the shops in the village which ensures

    improved availability and visibility of HUL brands.

    Technology has been used to highlight the benefits of HULs brands in a simple and

    engaging manner.

    At the same time, traditional symbols have also been used to create more acceptance.

    For example, the brand films and hygiene messages are shown to the consumers

    through the use of Palki.

    The company tied up with CNBC TV18 in 2009 to launch a television show titled,

    Lessons in Marketing Excellence a marketing case-study competition for management

    students in India.

    Some of the participating institutes include: IIM Calcutta, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM

    Bangalore,IIM Indore, XLRI,Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies, SP Jain

    Institute of Management and Research and National Institute of Industrial Engineering.

    Skin lightening creams

    Hindustan Unilever's "Fair and Lovely" is the leading skin-lightening cream for women in

    India.

    The company was forced to withdraw television advertisements for the product in 2007.

    Advertisements depicted depressed, dark-complexioned women, who had been ignored

    by employers and men, suddenly finding new boyfriends and glamorous careers after

    the cream had lightened their skin.

    In 2008 Hindustan Unilever made former Miss World Priyanka Chopra a brand

    ambassador for Pond's, and she then appeared in a mini-series of televisioncommercials for another skin lightening product, White Beauty, alongside Saif Ali Khan

    and Neha Dhupia; these advertisements, showing Priyanka's face with a clearly darker

    complexion against the visibly fairer Neha Dhupia, were widely criticized for

    perpetuating racism.
