SUMMARY
Candy category is high-heat in terms of innovation and variety. It’s a challenge to maintain quality, price-point and keep consumers loyal. Inflation led to reduction in size and quality as the price barrier of Re 1 is highly inelastic/difficult to break. In this competitive scenario Candyland re-introduce Butter Scotch, earlier discontinued due to lack of profit margins. We launched @premium price-point of RS. 2 with legendary high quality and characteristic tone of communication. Resonating with consumers, results were break-through sales, our candy category increased by 17% against target of 10%.
