The unique value proposition of the product: the functional, emotional and differentiating product benefits that have contributed to provide an enduring brand experience to customers?
The functional benefits of our products always revolve around making the life of the homemakers/ users easier. The products are launched keeping in mind the pain points of the customers after thorough Research and Development. Our products generally revolve around the following value additions – Time Saving, Health, Modernity, Aesthetics. Emotional quotient that we bring around is based on celebrating togetherness. The current tagline says “Jo Apnon se kare pyaar, woh prestigse se kaise kare inkaar” which talks about sharing the love and caring about our near and dear ones. Differentiating the product benefits come by addressing the pain points of the customers. For eg. “Our induction comes with whistle counter feature, so a user doesn’t have to wait and count the whistles for cooking”. Likewise, “we have a gas stove/ hob with timer that enables the user to have control on the cooking time” Hence we have been differentiating our products by actually solving a consumer pain point.
