TWO TO TANGO

You have a winner at hand when two market leaders come together

Airtel does realise what it takes to get two to tango. And that’s what it precisely did, when it joined hands with Nokia to introduce a bundle offer (handset bundle offer referred as HBO) to penetrate in deeper pockets of Indian markets. Rural activation agency RC&M was roped in to organise a ground level campaign in seven states to create awareness and share advantages of mobility with the target group. The entire campaign was carried out in three phases with each phase running for three months. 90 units were mobilised, spanning 248 districts, covering 34,904 villages & 2.81 lakh retail outlets. Extensive merchandising was done to create strong visibility about Airtel & Nokia jodi offer. Banners, posters were installed at strategic location like traders, retailers, agri shops, kirana shop and existing Airtel & Nokia retailers. “Two or three haats were covered every week enabling us to cover maximum TA within a short span of time.

Each haat is frequented by at least 15 satellite villages; hence message reached to approx 15 lakh people,” says Priya Monga, Business Head, RC&M. Participation in 15 fairs in UP & Bihar yielded close to 150,000 eye balls. Right from roadshows to street shoes, from interactive sessions to interactive games, no stone was left unturned. Result: The intensive study helped generate sales of a whopping Rs.16.82 crore in just 12 months. What’s more? RC&M won a gold for this campaign in the category of on ground promotion of the year-sales promotion at the recently concluded WOW awards.
