CHALLENGE
Partner with One Solution Advertisers for
When One Solution Advertisers began working with Vim Gel in 2014, the product had no sales and lacked visibility in the market. Competing against established dishwashing brands, Vim Gel needed a breakthrough strategy to reach consumers directly, build trust, and demonstrate its value. The challenge was to create demand, establish brand familiarity, and drive consistent sales in a crowded market.
SOLUTION
Partner with One Solution Advertisers for
One Solution Advertisers devised a door-to-door campaign to bring Vim Gel directly to consumers. Launched in 2014, the campaign focused on personalized engagement, offering Vim Gel at a promotional price of ₹15 (down from the original ₹20), along with a free scouring pad to enhance perceived value. This approach allowed the team to connect with households, showcase the product’s effectiveness, and build trust through face-to-face interactions. The campaign ran consistently for 4 to 5 years, laying a strong foundation for brand loyalty.
RESULTS: The home-to-home campaign yielded remarkable results for Vim Gel:
Sales surged from zero in 2014 to significant growth, establishing Vim Gel as a well-known brand in the dishwashing liquid market.
The promotional pricing strategy (₹15 with a free scouring pad) drove initial trials, leading to repeat purchases and strong word-of-mouth recommendations.
Over 4 to 5 years, sustained campaign efforts built widespread brand recognition, making Vim Gel a trusted household choice.
Today, Vim Gel enjoys a strong market presence and continues to benefit from the loyalty and awareness generated through the campaign.
