Fevicol’s outstanding promotional tactics are responsible for
the brand’s current growth. To each all-clients base segment,
the business has utilized nearly every advertising media that
is currently available. Through multiple marketing media
exposure across various platforms or referrals from others
potential customers learn about the goods. Fevicol’s
beginnings can be traced back to 1963 when it was first
offered in 30- gram tubes. Early marketing initiatives
focused mostly on end users particularly carpenters. This
strategy assisted in reducing shop competition from
alternative adhesives. Carpenters and other skilled
tradespeople gained confidence in Fevicol as they witnessed
its efficacy. Fevicol gradually gained popularity and was
often regarded as the best option. Fevicol expanded brand
visibility through print media which at the time were the
predominate advertising channels in order to further
extended its market. Rajkumar Hirani’s commercials for the
product which debuted on television in 1997 allowed for
widespread advertising all throughout the nation. In densely
crowded Indian cities, huge hoardings and banners
advertising panels along main roads and highways have
become commonplace. This widespread advertising
efficiently grabbed commuters’ attention since it reached
individuals who either couldn’t afford televisions especially
low wage workers or people who don’t read newspapers
regularly. Fevicol with its straight forward yet recognizable
logo became a common item at hardware and neighborhood
shops. Fevicol wholesalers were urged to put their items on
display so that clients could see them. The custom of
substituting Fevicol for adhesive by both buyers and sellers
inevitably resulted in word-of-mouth advertising. Despite
this accomplishment the business kept spending a lot of
money on television commercials while also putting out
unique materials that complemented its unique selling
proposition (USP). Websites became a popular way for
businesses to engage with their clients as the digital and
internet era came into being. Pidilite also promoted Fevicol
online by using its websites as a platform. Additionally,
Fevicol launched its Fevicol-Design-Ideas-Catalogue
websites enhancing its brand recognition and subtly
publishing furniture and decorating concepts. These design
ideas have been disseminated through social media channels
like Pinterest and YouTube. Advertisement for Fevicol can
still be seen in journals for architects and interior designers
like Surface and A&I Digest. The business also produces its
own periodicals Fevicol Design Ideas and Fevicol Furniture
Book which double as marketing and teaching aids.
Promotion Strategy
Over the years Fevicol has had remarkable success in
promoting its goods. Advertising is the most important
aspect in the promotion of Fevicol’s products. Fevicol has
excelled at clearly and succinctly communicating to
customers and businesses the desirable properties of its
products particularly their strength and longevity in bonding
surfaces. Due to their humor, charming rusticity and
unexpected punchlines the TV commercials for Fevicol
appeal to the general Indian public. The success of print
advertisements is comparable to that of their television
counterparts and they resemble internet memes in that they
frequently incorporate pop culture references. On social
media platforms Fevicol has also engaged in viral marketing
efforts that use humor as a crucial component of product
promotion. Memes or visually depicted bite-sized chunks of
information are frequently used in internet humor. Fevicol is
well known among customers that it even makes an
appearance in the lyrics of popular Bollywood song “Fevicol
se” from Dabangg 2. Fevicol also uses consumer outreached
programs like the “Fevicol Champions club” which is
designed for carpenters and publishes furniture catalogues
with new styles and fitting for woodworkers to explore. In
the end Fevicol’s product quality speaks for itself frequently
inspiring pleased customers to spread the word about
Fevicol’s goods.
Online Marketing Strategy
The technique for using keywords to sway potential clients
can range from straightforward terms like “Glue,” “sticky”,
“Fevistick”and “Adhesive” to ones that build an emotional
bond. Due to the fact that Fevicol is an Indian brand, it has
also used advertising in regional languages, such as “Dum
Laga ke Haisha” and “Asli Waterproof Adhesive”.
Additionally, hashtag usage on social networking sites has
the power to greatly increase popularity. The use of regional
languages can emotionally engage consumers; hence this
sort of advertising can also be used in digital marketing
through the internet. Additionally, including pertinent terms
might improve the efficiency of keyword-driven marketing.
SEO (search engine optimization) Plan: Several website
components need to be revised in order to improve website
visibility and draw in local clients. This involves keeping
address and contact information up-to-date, making sure the
material is understandable to the intended audience, and
using powerful keywords to drive more customer visits. The
product qualities, size variants, and uses should be
thoroughly covered in the content to make it more accessible
to internet users looking for related keywords. Local
searchers should be a top priority, and crucial details like
addresses, nearby business, contact information, and
business hours should be included on landing pages and
listings. Fevicol’s popularity among carpenters and
shopkeepers, makes it essential to optimize for local
searches, particularly during periods like the epidemic when
online accessibility is key. Paid Online Advertising Strategy:
Despite the well-deserved reputation of Fevicol, success in
the age of digital marketing doesn’t necessitate extravagant
investment. Budget-friendly tactics, such Pay-per-Click
(PPC) advertising can produce impressive outcomes. PPCis
known to provide 60% more traffic and income than organic
marketing. It is an effective Additionally, banner marketing
is still a successful strategy in digital marketing since it
attracts both desktop and mobile consumers by prominently
appearing in sidebars or at the top of webpages. Banner
advertisements can improve the advertising of goods and
websites even further. Social Media Strategy: Social media
strategy is a crucial and effective tool for growing a
website’s popularity. Paid advertising is becoming more
popular on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and
Instagram, which has a significant impact on the corporate
landscape. These platforms allow firms to efficiently serve
customers. Social media makes it easier to comprehend the
