PARLE-G
Introduction:
Parle was set up in 1929 in the suburbs of of Mumbai city, to
manufacture sweets and toffees.
At that time market was dominated by famous international brands.
Despite unequal competition, this company called Parle Products,
survived and succeeded, by adhering to high quality and
improvising from time to time.
In 1939, Parle Products began manufacturing biscuits, in addition
to sweets and toffees.
Parle Glucose and Parle Monaco were the first brands of biscuits to
be introduced, which later went on to become leading names for
great taste and quality.
Parle Products has been India's largest manufacturer of biscuits and
confectionery for almost 80 years.
Makers of the world's largest selling biscuit, Parle-G, and a host of
other very popular brands, the Parle name symbolizes quality,
nutrition and great taste.
With a reach spanning even to the remotest villages of India, the
company has definitely come a very long way since its inception.
Many of the Parle products - biscuits or confectioneries, are market
leaders in their category and have won acclaim at the Monde
Selection, since 1971.

Place
The immense popularity of Parle products in India was always a
challenge to their production capacity.
Now, using more modern techniques for capacity expansion, Parle
has begun spreading their wings and are going global.
Parle-G, the glucose biscuit brand from the country's largest biscuit
maker Parle Products, has consolidated its position as the world's
largest selling biscuit brand

 Parle-G is fast gaining acceptance in international markets, such as

the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia.
The more sophisticated economies like U.S.A., UK, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand are also relishing Parle products.
As part of the efforts towards a larger share of the global market,
Parle has initiated the process of getting ISO 9000 certification.
Price
Parle-G biscuits sold for approximately US$1 per kilogram and as
very few processed and ready-to-eat foods were available at this
price point, Parle-G was strongly associated with offering value for
money (VFM) in USA.
Whereas the same product is available for 0.29 for 100 grams
pack in UK.
In Canada, it is sold by Zehrs, Food Basics, Loblaws, etc for only
99 cents for a 418 gram pack.
Parle G has adopted the Market penetration Strategy. i.e. low price
capturing a large market
A looming problem in this brand category for Parle was that the
input prices of two major raw materials for the Parle-G biscuits
(which together accounted for 55 per cent of their input costs) had
risen enough in the past 18 months to decrease margins from 15
per cent to less than 10 per cent.

Promotion
Parle-G understands human psyche well and hence it focuses more
on children.
Children, not only are major biscuit consumers but also have major
influence on their parents decisions. Therefore, Parle-G
strategically has placed brand closer to the children.
In comparison, rival biscuit brands such as Tiger, Sunfeast,
Hide&Seek spend a lot of effort and money over promotion
activities. Unlike Parle-G, most of them have high-profile
celebrities as their brand-ambassador.
Basically, Parle-G employs integrated mass communication and
uses non-personal communication channels, such as media, public
relation, events and sales promotions.
