FMCG SECTOR
FMCG is an acronym for Fast Moving Consumer Goods, which refer to things That we buy from
local supermarkets on daily basis, the things that have high Turnover and are relatively cheaper
like butter, potato chips, toothpastes, razors, Household care products, packaged food and
beverages, etc. FMCG may also
Include pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, packaged food products and drinks ,Although
these are often categorized separately.
Products;
- Toilet cleaners, air fresheners, Insecticides, mosquito repellents, metal polish, And
furniture polish;
Product such as bread, biscuits etc. milk and dairy products, beverages such

Household care, male grooming, female hygiene, and the chocolates and
Confectionery categories are estimated to be the fastest growing segments.
FMCG Sector generates 5% of the total factory employment in the country and is
Creating employment for three million people, especially in small towns and rural
India.

Products belonging to the category of FMCG category have the following
Characteristics:
Growth
With the presence of 12.2% of the world population in the villages of India, the
Indian rural FMCG market is something no one can overlook. Increased focus on
Farm sector will boost rural incomes, hence providing better growth prospects to
The FMCG companies. Better infrastructure facilities will improve their supply Chain.
FMCG sector is also likely to benefit from growing demand in the market.
Because of the low per capita consumption for almost all the products in the
Country, FMCG companies have immense possibilities for growth. And if the
Companies are able to change the mindset of the consumers, i.e. if they are able to
Take the consumers to branded products and offer new generation products, they. Would be able
to generate higher growth in the near future. It is expected that the
Rural income will rise, boosting purchasing power in the countryside. However, the
Demand in urban areas would be the key growth driver over the long term. Also,
Increase in the urban population, along with increase in income levels and the
Availability of new categories, would help the urban areas maintain their position in
Terms of consumption. At present, urban India accounts for 66% of total FMCG
Consumption, with rural India accounting for the remaining 34%. However, rural
India accounts for more than 40% consumption in major FMCG categories such as
9|Page
Personal care, fabric care, and hot beverages. In urban areas, home and personal
Care category, including skin care, household care and feminine hygiene, will keep
Growing at relatively attractive rates. Within the foods segment, it is estimated that
Processed foods, bakery, and dairy are long-term growth categories in both rural
And urban areas.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PR IN HUL
It may be useful to begin by first getting out of the way certain popular notions which, as
With many popular beliefs are either without any basis in reality or at best express only
Half truths. For instance, PR men are regarded by some to be fixers, a breed of people
Who will wangle things for you by the most questionable methods. There is also a
Popular idea that PR men spend most of their time winning and dining, using for the
Purpose fabulous expense accounts they are supposed to have access to. While no
PR can be reflected by the fact the even now one comes across articles published in
Be to equate the stethoscope with the practice of modern medicine. To continue the
Analogy, PR seeks to diagnose the ills of an organisation in its relations with the public Or
any segment of the public, it prescribes remedies and proceeds to administer them.
It then keeps a watch on the patient to see whether the remedies prescribed are
Producing the desired effect so that the medicine can be changed if necessary after
Than the cure, PR believes in maintaining the good health of the corporate body -so that
Drastic remedies and bitter pills may not have to be swallowed later.
Analogies may be useful in giving a general idea but can never be as precise as a Definition.
PR which is now a well-established discipline therefore needs to be defined
So that we may be clear about what we are discussing when we talk about PR. It is ‘the
17 | P a g e
Attempt by information, persuasion and adjustment to engineer public support for an
Activity, cause movement or institution. ‘Public relations as and applied social and
Behavioral science is that function which – measures, evaluates and interprets the
The interests, needs and goals of the various relevant publics; and develops, executes
AN OVERVIEW
Public relations today are still a very underdeveloped field. It is growing in prominence
And has started showing results in various sectors of corporate India. More and more
Companies are making use of PR to solve their problems and increase their overall
The need for PR arises also from the responsibility that an organisation owes to the
Society, which nurtures it and enables it to function and operate. No organisation, leave
Because a particular kind of social environment exists. This environment is often taken
18 | P a g e
For granted but in times of social turmoil when normal conditions are disrupted the
How often have we not seen during periods of national strife or serious political
Instability leading to a break down of law and order that business comes to a standstill?
While these may be extreme examples they illustrate the fact that without the right
Social environment no business can exist. Thus every business organisation has a
Stake in the social environment and must contribute its mite towards its continued
19 | P a g e
PR and Environmental Path of HUL
The present generation has, quite understandably, made the environment a focus of
Attention. With growing environmental awareness, there is now a clear perception that Our
activities affect not only the air we breathe, but even the air which regulates our Climate.
More importantly, uncontrolled activities cannot be sustained without loss of Plant and
species, natural habitats, coast and hinterland and the decay of buildings, Places of natural
beauty or historic interest. Hence, the need for a genuine commitment
To sustainable development which is integrated with the national policy on industry, Energy,
transport, trading and planning.
In the above context, public relations professionals are well placed to direct attention to
Environmental issues and can make a unique contribution to public and professional
Clear, universally agreed targets are still lacking in many issues. The responsible PR
Person must ensure that his organisation is greener than green on all the major issues
According to current opinion, demonstrate to the world at large that this is so, and, for
The future, help form opinions and set the standards for the organisation’s own as well
As the common good. In a nutshell, environment is now a corporate concern and today’s PR
persons have to build up comprehensive communication programmes, internal as well as
external, which Involve listening just as much as talking.
PR today must:
20 | P a g e
* Avoid pollution of any kind.
* Encourage environment audits to determine what the organisation has done and Is doing
in relation to the environment.
A citizen’s role extends beyond his or her call of duty. A responsible corporate citizen
Needs to look beyond the financial numbers of sales and profit growth, from year to Year.
It is true that corporate image concerns the industrial marketer directly as brand image
Is crucial for the consumer market. The ordinary consumers, while oblivious of the name
Of the manufacturer, can easily identify the brands of consumer products. Repeat this
Test for industrial goods : the same respondents are aware of the name of the
Manufacturers but many won’t be able to name the industrial products. Interestingly, a
Third set of organisation would be known both for their industrial or consumer products
As well as for their distinct corporate image. Where does corporate PR stand in these
Diverse settings? Although easier desired than achieved, PR attempts to create the
21 | P a g e
Desired image by its involvement in all the factors of corporate identification
Programmes.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
A government relation has two facets to it. Firstly, the PR for the government
of the company is to build Relations with the governments, and also help
Government the good of the community of society. Public relations with the government
benefit to the company in its overall business plans and operations. Public
relations with the government in some ways are quite difficult and
acquaint themselves with the working of The government, and the intricacies
and people involved at various levels, and then Handle things accordingly to
22 | P a g e
The government should not be looked at as an adversary. In fact, you should make all Efforts
to help the government and support its activities and policies as far as possible.
Government leaders must be kept informed from your side about the organisation’s
Activities and policies—especially those which are contributing to the welfare and
Development of the state or the nation. Such relations will be mutually beneficial in the
Short-term and the long-term. Corporations should, however avoid getting involved with
23 | P a g e
MEDIA RELATIONS
crises. As in the case of Union Carbide and HUL a few years ago. Hence,
media, particularly the Press has to be Handled very carefully. The media
must be kept on your side. All efforts must be made To ensure this
strategically. It takes years to build a good image, but to destroy it you Need
Press), do not spread your communication too thin, go for quality Rather than
quantity. Selective and in-depth coverage is what you must aim at, as it is
More effective and produces the desired results. Let your communication be
complete Honest, and backed with hard facts. The organisation must be able
to live up to its Claims and promises in media, otherwise you can be in for
further problems. The efforts Made by HUL in this respect have been

FINANCIAL RELATIONS
With the growth of the Indian economy and the business sector, management
financial institutions, and The rest of the financial community. This is being
done in the mass media and Specialised media ranging from annual reports to special
brochures to audio-visuals, Video films, and even corporate
have, and they have to Be kept interested in the company. Public relations
must establish, maintain, and Improve the company’s image and reputation
so that it can obtain funds from the public And the financial institutions on the
most favorable terms when it desires so The Financial and business Press,
PR and the need for it is seen from the number and growth Of PR agencies
India. These include well-known names like Pressman, Clea, and Sobhagya, now a Host of
others. They provide their clients a wide range of services and expertise in PR And
advertising.
25 | P a g e
CUSTOMER RELATIONS
In the past PR and marketing were considered separate and unconnected activities of
Business in a company. Today, PR has a role to play in marketing not only to build
Or services among consumers or other special groups, and generally protecting the
Company’s reputation at the marketplace. Public relations with customers, and with
In today’s competitive market customers opt for products that are known and have an
Image, and are backed by quality and good after sales service. Marketing people
Cannot ignore public opinion on such aspects. In the long run, unfavorable opinions
Certainly affect sales. Public relations can help in controlling and setting right some of
These opinions; it is therefore essential for companies to assign some of their attention
COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Today, the relationship between corporations and the community is a vital issue in
Done for the sake of profits alone. Because a company functions within a community,
Its responsibility extends to giving back to the community something for what it makes
From it. This has been the philosophy of the Tata’s in India for years, today it is
Accepted and is being followed by a number of other companies. This belief is now also
Considered important and crucial by the government, consumerists and opinion leaders.
Company relations at an organisation can vary from local community welfare activities,
26 | P a g e
People. Companies have to consider the community as one of its prime target groups.
The objective of PR is to help build image of the company: as a good corporate Citizen,
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
In employee relations, communicators are vital at every level. From top to bottom, also
From lower level to the top management level, and even the horizontal communications
Among colleagues at the same level and between functions. The basic function of
Communications and PR in the organisation is not just better functioning, but a fostering
Employee in HUL one in a large number and they include both blue collar to white
Collar. Internal PR must reach out to all of them. This makes the task tough and critical,
Important to first assess the needs and requirements of employees. One of the major
Programmes must be evolved around their motivations, job enrichment, training and
This, in other words, means PR for better employees, better employee morale, and
Better relationships, resulting in success and growth of the organisation; and therefore,
In the case of PR with employee, the function may seen to overlap with the working of
The company’s personnel department. In practice, however, it is necessary that the two
Departments work closely together. They can mutually reinforce each other, especially
In areas like HRD. It is worth trying to integrate HRD with PR, if possible, in a company.
More so when with the growth of organisations in size, the individual employee is
27 | P a g e
Becoming smaller and less significant, and thus losing his or her identity. Public
Relations with HRD can play a crucial role in building and motivating the employees on
Their jobs and in their contributing towards achieving the company goals.
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
This is another important area of work for PR executives. Its importance is growing,
With staff and workers getting to be united, more enlightened and demanding. Whether
They are unionized or not does not make a difference in the PR work, in either case,
That unions have their own goals. This makes it more difficult to deal with them in many
Respects. Understanding these goals, and how they will affect Industrial relations and
Industrial relations concern the staff and workers in their relationship, as individuals and
As a group, with the management. Industrial relations are most often concerned with
Problems related to wages, other monetary benefits, conditions of work, and so on. But
Through timely PR and proper communication many of these problems can be avoided Or
overcome altogether.
