Decorating
children's rooms is getting more attention today then ever before because of two
major trends. Firstly, the average
number of children in Indian homes today is two or less, which leaves with more
resources to indulge in materialising the fantasies of their little ones. Secondly,
across the
board, there is more disposable income today.Nerolac
Disney is being positioned as a paint that helps parents 'Bring Their Kids Dreams
Alive' through wall designs that tells a story of their own. The Nerolac Disney
paints range will be initially launched in eight markets -- Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata,
Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
The
range will initially launch with three Disney characters - Mickey Mouse, Winnie
The Pooh and the Disney Princess range. The product pack will contain wall designs,
which consists of a 'Paint for the wall' and 'Custom made Stencils' to capture
the designs on the wall. In spite of being a premium product, the product has
been economically priced. The design and painting of one wall with Nerolac Disney
design will cost Rs 2,500.
A
service model has also been put in place for implementation. A call center is
being set up with a toll free number in Mumbai (1600220024) to take calls from
any consumer from the eight launch cities. At each city level 'Relationship Officers'
have been recruited who will consult households individually going in for 'Nerolac
Disney'.
A
panel of contractors and painters is being constituted in each city who will be
specially trained by Nerolac for executing the job. One can also avail of this
service by SMSing to 4646.

Nerolac Paints Limited managing director H M Bharuka said, "Disney was considered
due to its high awareness, especially of characters like Mickey, Donald and Pluto
among children. Besides, none other than Disney brings childhood imagination and
fantasies alive. In fact what makes this association so endearing is that we too
have grown up with an entire generation of Disney characters."
The
Walt Disney Company (India) managing director Rajat Jain said, "Ensuring
an enriching, engaging and relevant brand experience for kids in India has been
an important agenda for us. The Nerolac Disney product provides an outlet for
families to magnify their imagination and experience the real magic. On our part,
we are excited about this partnership with Nerolac in providing this creative,
high quality and reasonably priced solution for kids and their families across
India."
"Kids
aspire to live in an imaginary world of their own. And Nerolac found lot of opportunity
in helping kids getting an imaginary world by conceptualising this product. The
key insight being used, which will create a need in the minds of the consumer
is that each one of us aspires to provide the best to our kids. The initiative
will be rolled out in the launch cities with TV and print, which will be the core
communication tools. To reach out to a larger audience base we will also drive
the entire venture in creating an experience for our consumers in each city for
which we are targeting multiplexes, malls and other such attractive venues for
children," said Goodlass Nerolac Paints Limited vice president sales and
marketing Anuj Jain.
