    Cinepolis expands to G. Noida; to invest Rs 800 crore

    NEW DELHI: India’s first international and world’s fourth largest movie theatre chain Cinépolis has opened its five-screen multiplex at The Grand Venice Mall in Greater Noida (Delhi NCR). The tally of Cinépolis multiplexes in the city now stands at 29 screens across eight properties in the National Capital Region.

    This five-screen Cinépolis property can accommodate up to 851 movie goers, at a time. The theatre will run 22 daily shows, which will comprise a mix of the best of Bollywood, Hollywood and regional content.

    Cinépolis is one of the first properties to start operations at The Grand Venice Mall located off the Yamuna Expressway. This, first of its kind mall, is inspired and themed after the picturesque city of Venice, situated 15 minutes from Noida. The Noida and Greater Noida belt is an affluent one, with a huge demand for luxury entertainment.

    The seventh organic opening of the year, this brand is steadily adding screens across various cities. With the launch of this latest multiplex in NCR, Cinépolis stands strong at 274 screens across 41 cities in India. Cinépolis has now become the fastest growing multiplex chain across India.

    Cinépolis India MD Javier Sotomayor, said, “We have aggressive expansion plans which include investment of up to Rs 800 crore over the next six years. The aim is to become one of the top three players in the Indian exhibition space in the next 3-4 years.”

    Cinépolis India director-expansion Ashish Shukla said, “This new cinema will expand our current NCR circuit from 24 to 29 screens. We have 70-plus screens planned to be opened in the Delhi NCR Region in the next couple of years.”

    Cinépolis India director–India strategic initiatives Devang Sampat said, “Our theatres are equipped with the best sound and projection systems to provide the most intimate atmosphere for the movie-goers, coupled with RealD 3D technology for best 3D experience.”

    Mall owner Satinder Singh Bhasin said, “Cinépolis team has a very clear vision of consolidating its presence in India.”

    In future, the exhibition market would consolidate and only three to four big players would remain in the business, according to Sotomayor, quoted in Mint earlier. Cinepolis would continue to add screen in metro markets as well as tier II and III cities. As to whether it would adopt a different strategy for the price sensitive non-metro markets, Sotomayor replied in the negative.

  • TV to command Rs 25 cr of Droom’s 100 cr marketing budget

    TV to command Rs 25 cr of Droom’s 100 cr marketing budget

    MUMBAI: India’s online automobile transactional marketplace Droom is launching a mega promotional campaign with a budget of Rs 100 cr. The new campaign is being launched for television, YouTube, print, digital and social media and will also be seen outdoors on billboards and external installations. The entire campaign is designed to drive traffic and increase consumer awareness and to enhance the sense of pride amongst Indian consumers when it comes to buying a pre-owned vehicle.

    Droom, which has reported more than 700% year-on-year revenue, plans to adopt an aggressive performance-linked marketing approach which will see country-wide spread of the advertisements. Automobiles, being a big-ticket item, have a significant gestation period which may last from a minimum one month to a year.

    Commenting on the king-size marketing budget, Droom CEO and founder Sandeep Aggarwal said, “Buying a used vehicle is still shrouded in great doubt for many Indian consumers. This year, through our marketing efforts, we hope to instil a sense of pride in the buyers when they purchase a pre-owned automobile. Our focus completely lies in implementing high Return-On-investment promotion options. Furthermore, the 360-degree marketing initiatives will also help us achieve our goal of reaching an annualized GMV of INR 3000 crore by the end of 2016 and INR 5-7,000 crore by the end of 2017 by enhancing consumer tendency to look at the benefits of purchasing their dream vehicles through us.”

    Keeping this trend in mind along with the upcoming festive season when the propensity to purchase vehicles is the highest, Droom will be rolling out the marketing initiatives well in advance. Of the total 100cr budget, INR 25 crore has been allocated to TV, outdoor, print and radio advertising and other ATL activities. Considering the huge market available digitally, a further INR 25 crore has been assigned to digital promotional activities such as Search Engine optimization, online ads etc. With the festive season in the offing, deals and discounts would also feature significantly in the marketing budget allocation.

    Droom’s marketing campaign would be a round-the-year process with periods of heightened activity. Catering to seven different cities including Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Pune, Ahmedabad and Mumbai, Droom envisions INR 100 crore budget as the minimum threshold, rather than the maximum value allocation, and plans to raise the industry standards of marketing expenditure through its upcoming brand building activities.
