14. pricing Haldiram’s offers its products at competitive prices in order to penetrate the huge unorganized market of namkeens and sweets. The company pricing strategy has taken into consideration the price conscious nature of consumers in India. Haldiram’s has launched namkeens in small packets of 30 grams, priced as low as Rs. 5. The company also launched namkeens in 5different packs with prices varying according to their weights

15. pricing The prices also vary on the basis of the type of namkeens and the raw materials used to manufacture it. The cost of  metalized packing also has an impact on the price, especially in the case of snack foods. The company revises the prices of its products upwards only when there is asteep increase in the raw material costs or if additional taxes are imposed

16. pricing Package weight price 30 gm 5 85 gm 10 180 – 250 gm 18 - 25 400 – 500 gm 40 - 70 1 kg 95 - 200

23. Packaging packaging is an important aspect of Haldiram’s product promotion. Since namkeens are impulse purchase items, attractive packaging in different colors influences purchases. Haldiram’s uses the latest technology to increase the shelf life of its products. While the normal shelf life of a similar product is under a week, the shelf life Haldiram’s product is about six months.

24. Packaging Posters highlighting the shelf life of its products carried the caption ‘six months on the shelf and six seconds in your mouth’. During festival season, Haldiram’s products are sold in attractive looking special gift packs

26. EXPANSION : 1: HALDIRAM WAS NOT the kind of company to stay content with what it head already achieved. The restaurant at Nagpur devised an innovative strategy, traveler passing through the Nagpur railway station in ordering food firm areas where the company stockiest are located, the customer could place an order for lunch or dinner by sending a demand draft or check to the

27. EXPANSION: Likely time arrival of Nagpur ,names of the customer coaches and seat number . The lunch or dinner as than delivered to than when the train arrived at Nagpur.

28. FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION: INDUSTRY continues to grow by the day, besides the traditional namkeens and sweet Indian consumer are today gifting other items such as chocolate and flowers and on occasion should the company diversify further? Should it start making chocolate? for examples and compete with multinational giant such as Cadbury. Consumer are spoilt for choice e.g. Frito- lay in snacks several player such as Tropicana, dabber and minute maid in drinks, and so on.

29. FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION Frito lay in particular in particular is emerging as a major challenger instead of directly competing with haldiram’s The company launched new product in the Indian market It is also directly taking on haldirams with its nankeen range of product, which are also competitively priced, and its aloo bhujia . the latter player is investing in its kitchen of Indians and its sun feast range

30. FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION: ANOTHER CHALLENGE IS coming up in the private brand in the modern retailers, such as the future groups (that own the food bazaar chains) it is quite passable that these private launch or expand their range of product that There are also some other irritants, publicity around lacked adequate setting ,parking facilities and like and that their customer service standard was nothing outstanding.

31. FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION: Another issue is the presence of spurious products. some company claiming to be associates of the original haldiram’s of Bikaner used the company well recognized brand name in their products. not only did this impact sales but there was also the danger that the lack of quality standard for these me too products impacted the company reputation.
