The ad campaign shows a young man getting into his vehicle, and was told that his new Aer car fragrance has magic in it. Not the one that will make his car bigger, or make him immensely popular/better, but just simply that it has a great fragrance that can be started with the click of a button. Definitely, the positioning was unique, not exaggerating what it does, instead simply communicates what it can deliver.

The air care market in India is estimated at Rs. 300 crore which is a fast growing household accessories market fueled by changing preferences among Indian consumers. This can be  attributed to the increased purchasing power of people, better living standards, exposure to internationally available household products. However, air care category is still in its nascent stage in India. Having seen the huge this potential, Godrej has launched its air freshener brand to establish a foothold in air care segment.

Aer has to face competition from existing domestic and international brands such as Air Wick, Ambi Pur, Glade, Renuzit, and Odonil. The company sources says that its USP is its design and fragrances. And certainly, Godrej has taken lot of care in product differentiation, claims to be the first branded player to offer a product in the dashboard/cup-holder segment in India. The company expects high brand recall for this product due its design innovation. Moreover, company expects greater scope for growth in this rapidly growing product category. In near term, it would add new fragrances and automatic sprays to its portfolio.

Anchor Health and Beauty care is one of the FMCG companies, part of Anchor group which was founded in the year 1997, launched FMCG product such Anchor tooth paste, gel, tooth brush, tooth powder and beauty soaps. Dyna is the Beauty Soap brand from Anchor health care company.

Actually the soap brand was launched in the year 2007, and entered the league of top ten brands in India. Recently, I tried the brand and it was really good and considered a value product for the price it charges. The soap comes with 76% TFM which is the best and skin friendly and makes the skin softer when I was used the milk & almond soap. Personally I like the soap and considering adopting it. So friends, you can also test & trial and decide yourself, moreover it is an Indian brand and should encourage indigenous products.
