- 17. GEMS The repositioningof Gems, which is an Indian version of M&M marbles, is aimed to capture the adult consumers, while there is logic behind new TG . The campaign fails to provide any compelling reason for adults to buy Gems. “Raho Umarless” does not emphasis as to why, rather it is a weak attempt to attract adult & to make them rethink about Gems.
- 18. Ideally thebrand should have tried with a non- hyperbolic, real life scenario where an adult is enjoying life or the product & it would have attracted the TG in a right way. The right approach would have been that while repositioning, the brand should have concentrated on building salience and should have concentrated on finer details as to why to buy and when to? These elements are simply missing in the campaign.
