from the expiry date, it must be extended to 5 months, so that poor
shop keepers doesn’t have to bear any loss.

palate is not too adventurous in terms of trying new taste, before
launching a new variant of maggi, and they must conduct test
marketing.
• Maggi should concentrate on youth crowd.
• For motivating retailers, company must give prizes for annually top
10 sellers.
•
And the highest seller should be awarded by some attractive gifts
like foreign trips and holiday package.
19. Cont…

almost same taste but it differs in weight and price.
The magic masala yippe have RS 5 & Rs10 Sku’s while magical

to give the competition, they must have to make a Sku of magical
masala of Rs5 & Rs10.
