Tata Genuine Parts SahenshaOn ground/Event MarketingTata Motors Ltd.

2Background

► Counterfeit automotive components - a (thriving) parallel industry

► Counterfeit parts - unsafe and responsible for many road accident casualties and injuries.

► It leads to erosion of not only revenue but trust of the people and Tata genuine parts wanted to take on this menace by educating the users on the benefits of using genuine parts and increasing saliency of its brand amongst the TG.

3Target Group

► Primary – Single truck owners

► Secondary – Drivers, Garage Mechanics

4Objectives

► Educate consumers about the benefits of using genuine spare parts as against spurious parts

► Create dissonance among the TG for spurious products & build excitement for TGP

5Challenge

► In a market thronged by non-genuine parts & a highly price sensitive TG who gets lured by the cheaper non-genuine offerings, the challenges were two fold:

► Capture the attention of TG in a usually mundane market

► Convince the TG on using genuine parts as against non-genuine ones.

6Insights

► Our TG belongs to a different cult:→ He loves independence, has better self esteem, and is

adventurous and mobile

→ Bollywood rides high on him which is the most conspicuous entertainment element in his life

► His body language, home even his truck has splashes of Bollywood and we decided to carry a Bollywood theme in all our communication

7Strategy

► To achieve better results, we segmented our target territories in two broad categories on the basis of TGP’s market share and differentiated them in terms of communication focus required:

Market Type Communication Focus Communication Theme

Type I (Low market share: 0-20 %)

Building high brand salience and creating high dissonance against spurious products by establishing superiority of TGP over them

“Rishte me to hum tumhare baap lagte hain, Naam hai Shehensha”

Type II (High market share: 20-40%)

Announce availability & registering high awareness

“Hum zaroor milenge”
