    COMPANY PROFILE

    In July 2003, ITC made a foray into the biscuits market by launching the Sunfeast range of biscuits. Since then, Sunfeast biscuits have always stood for quality and are known foroffering innovative and wholesome biscuits. Sunfeast connotes happiness, contentment,satisfaction and pleasure. Within a span of 9 years, Sunfeast has established itself in almostall major categories of biscuits.

    ABOUT THE PRODUCT

    Sunfeast Dark Fantasy is the story of a brand which started its journey as a sub-brand andlater acquired the status of a standalone brand. ITC forayed into the biscuit market in 2003and Sunfeast Dark Fantasy was launched in 2005. It was only after four years, that ITCthought of taking the brand to the next level.

    Dark Fantasy's success can be attributed to the careful detail with which the brand was built by ITC. ITC took a risk in positioning Dark Fantasy as a premium biscuit brand. The premium space was vacant in the Indian market and marketers was unsure how consumerswould react to a premium biscuit offering.

    To do this, Sunfeast tried to build the brand among emotional platform taking on the proposition of ' Indulgence'. So here is a biscuit which would appeal to your sensuous selfand take you through an experience of indulgence. It was a risky proposition and ITC backedthe theme through some heavy campaigns.

    The brand had the tagline Pure Indulgence when it was launched. The USP was the packaging. Dark Fantasy in a way assured in a new wave of packaging in the biscuit market.The bold use of colours and calligraphy supplemented the brand's positioning as a premium

    biscuit. Later the tagline was changed to Escape into One ". Dark Fantasy had twin packaging - there is an outer cardboard box and individual choco fills had wrapper packaging. That gave the brand a premium touch.

    Rather than restricting itself as a premium biscuit, Sunfeast Dark Fantasy tried to create aspace for itself by launching a new variety called Choco fills. Choco Fills are essentially

    biscuits with chocolate filled inside. Although these types of biscuits were available,through smart packaging, Dark Fantasy brought lot of interest into this category. Now choco-fills are very popular that competitors like Parle had to launch a new brand in this category.

    Buoyed with the customer response to Choco Fills, Sunfeast has extended this packagingstrategy to its Cookie category by launching Delicious brand of cookies.

    Dark Fantasy can be termed as a packaging success story. The brand has showcased the power of packaging and its influence in the positioning and brand image

    strategy targets different market segments with specific marketing mixes designed especiallyto meet those segments' needs. Each mix includes a product, price, placement and promotional program customized specifically for a particular segment. The basis ofsegmentation is both demographic and behavioural.

    based on age and income. Being a premium biscuit brand product is mainly aimed at youngadults who belong to upper middleclass or high income group.

    POSITIONING

    attempt to use the empty space in Indian market by introducing it as a premium brand.Position statement goes like this to the middle and high income adults who are seeking self-indulgence, our brand Sunfeast Dark Fantasy is a premium cookie cream biscuit that gives a

    pure chocolate sensual indulgence for one to escape reality into exotic fantasies . Positioningthe product was difficult and risky as there was a huge uncertainty regarding the acceptanceof a premium brand. Heavy advertisement campaigns were used for the same.

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    According to Macborgne Renel er- al, in his article entitled Creating New Market Spacemost companies focus on marketing and beating their rivals. As a result their strategies tendto take on similar dimensions. The authors say innovative company breaks free fromcompetitions by staking out fundamentally new market space that is by creating productsservices for which there are no competitions.

    Hamel and Prahlad observe that there are three levels of competition viz.

    Competition for intellectual leadership to get new ideas that may create newadvantages or new basis for competition.

    Competition for translating such new ideas into commercial products and servicesfaster than other.

    Competition for market share. According to these two authors the competition formarket share cannot be won unless formidable advantages are created at the first twolevels.

    According to Adriyan Payan, The marketing mix concept is a well-established tool used as astructured by marketers. It consists of the various elements of a marketing programme whichneed to be considered in order to successfully implement the marketing strategy and positionthe product.
