Abstract: Mr. Abhilekh Jain (Jain), Brand Manager of BoomFresh, a Re. 1 chewing gum, was excited about the launch of another variant, BoomFresh Mint. He was wondering by how much the launch of the new variant would increase the sales of the brand and to what extent this would cannibalize the popular BoomFresh Strawberry Flavor gum. He also had competition on his mind and was thinking about the flexibility and maneuverability of selling a Re. 1 (1/60th of a dollar or 1.67 cents) product in India. The case gives a comprehensive view of the Indian gum market and provides the scope for discussion on the constraints of selling a Re. 1 gum in India with regard to product differentiation, unique distribution network, and promotion strategy and also the pricing constraints. Compounding the challenge is the issue of selling to an impulsive gum consumer. |
