Hence, trial-based marketing is one of the most potent routes to adopt for conversion, especially for low and mid-ticket FMCG categories like oral care, personal care, hygiene, snacks, paints, etc.
Delivering the power of mass product sampling are the following media vehicles:
- Electricity Bills (approx. 43.6 million households every month)

All across India - Indian Oil LPG Gas Bills (approx. 70.5 million households every month)

- Railway Reservation Tickets (approx. 23 million tickets every month)
Issued across 11 major zones – Central, Western, South-Central, Eastern, Northern Railways - Air India Boarding Passes (Domestic – 0.9 million, International – 0.4 million)
Personalized avenues in media advertising
Did you ever think that an Electricity Bill, a reserved Railway Ticket and a LPG Bill, all inscribed with the subscriber’s name and address would one day become targeted media vehicles for your brand/service? Well, that day has come.
This personalized print communication has now become a sure-shot way to address your customer – one that guarantees that it will be read and noticed as soon as it reaches a household. What’s more, by advertising through this media you can give your brand a localised flavour as well as a national reach. You can create region-based, language-based, and in some instances deliver even pin code-based tactical communication.
Involvement
- At least 2-3 members* in each household view the bills
- Bills/Tickets are seen by a person at least 3 to 4 times*
- Consumers spend 5 to 10 minutes on their bills
- 100% reach and involvement with bills
- Spontaneous recall of ads in bills – 95%
- Recall of key communication message is high
- Spontaneous recall of elements in the ads is high

This challenge has now been overcome through the availability of this medium.[/zozo_vc_section_title][/single_tab][single_tab title=”Less pilferage, low wastage” tab_id=”1469109276081-4-7″][zozo_vc_section_title title=""]The pilferage rate of sampling through conventional approaches was always high. It also resulted in wastage by end-users because of a target audience mismatch, or the wrong place of delivery. Now, this hurdle can be overcome and your product has an opportunity to get noticed with relevance.
Attaching samples in magazines or newspapers, or distributing them at malls and other zones still doesn’t ensure 100% accountability that the product sample has reached the intended end-user. Now, you are ensured of higher levels of accountability.[/zozo_vc_section_title][/single_tab][single_tab title=”Effective utilisation of media and advertising innovations” tab_id=”1469109277634-5-6″][zozo_vc_section_title title=""]
