Tea advertising hottest on Aaj Tak & SAB TV: An AdEx India Analysis

(2 March 2004)

 

Tea is not a seasonal product for the Indian market. People in India prefer a cup of hot steaming tea even when the mercury is above 40 degrees. The product not being seasonal, the advertising is also not very seasonal. This reflects in the changing advertising patterns across different channels. We at AdEx India tried probing further the advertising patterns of the tea category.

Out of the 100 channels that AdEx India monitors, 10 channels account for 45 per cent of advertising in the tea category. This pack of 10 is headed by Aaj Tak, which gets an eight per cent share, followed by Sab TV, DD Mumbai, Star Gold, Sahara UP, Star Plus and so on.


We dig further and have a look at the advertising across various program genres. Feature films, News Bulletin are neck to neck in the 1st and 2nd position when it comes to advertising for the tea category. Both these genres have the maximum duration of advertising and they are closely followed by the Drama/Soap genre. Others like comedies, music shows/songs, film trailers/album promos don't get major share of the pie.


Moving on to the individual advertisers, we see that Tata, Brooke Bond and Godrej are the major top advertisers. Most of the brands featuring in the Top 10 list belong to these advertisers. The most advertised brand is Tata Premium CTC Leaf, followed by Brooke Bond Red Label and Godrej Chai House. Society and 502 Pataka Tea are the only two brands which don't belong to the above advertisers but feature in the top list.


We shall be coming out with similar analyses in the next few weeks. Keep watching this space for more…
