Surf Excel: Creative Strategy for „Daag Acche Hain‟
Surf Excel : Daag Acche Hain
History of Advertising
• Informational Appeal from early days of „Lalitaji‟
• Ads have been only about unhappy housewives
• Comparison of white shirt and yellow shirt
• Boring stereotype, predictive and formulaic ads
Breaking the Cliché
• Says its OK to soil your clothes for a good cause
• Known for its newness, simplicity and clutter breaking ability
• Emotional connect with the audience
• Focus centered around people rather than brand or the product, intangible aspects are highlighted
Present status
• Came up with Surf Excel „Forgiveness‟ Campaign (Sequel of „Daag Acche Hain‟)
• It has increased the brand recall value

Surf Excel: Recommendation
Surf Excel : Daag Acche Hain
Concentrate more on trade promotions
Concentrate on consumer promotions
Increase trade margins (currently 7%)
Increase point of purchase displays and try to get more shelf space in
small scale retailers
Not sufficient presence in rural markets, product sells primarily in sachets
Company needs to reinvent ad campaign. It will be beneficial to associate
the brand with some social cause
Tie ups with electronic showrooms, hotel chains etc.
Recency Planning :
Reduce ads frequency during cricket tournaments, sports shows as the
expected impact on target audience is less
Also balance between frequency and continuity of media schedule
saves cost (as more than 50% of impact is of the first exposure)
Surf Excel: Proposed IMC
Surf Excel : Daag Acche Hain
Revamped campaign with the tag line “Daag
Acche Hain, Aur Hamesha Rahenge”
Linking to a social cause, viz. save water
campaign
Specific ads during festive season especially
Holi etc
Holding special events for kids on festivals
like Ganesh Chaturthi, Krishna Janamashtami
in metros and tier-2 cities
Flash Mobs with kids
