Did you know, that the word Shampoo is derived from the
Hindi word “Champi”.
Remember Johnny Walker’s famous song - Meri
Jaan, Meri Jaan, Sunday Ke Sunday, Teil Maalish - Champi Teil
Maalish.
The British loved the massage so much, they started
calling Champi as Shampoo

increase in sales of the product, so companies want to enhance the
promotional activities to attract most of the customers.
Mostly consumers purchasing sachets in daily basis and bottles are
consumed in weekly and monthly basis.
The media used for the promotional activities are print media like
magazine (size-wise, audience-wise and geography-wise) and
Newspaper (display advertisements and pamphlet advertisements)
and also promoting through television.
Today’s generation mostly spends time on television so it is one of
the best media to attract the younger generation.
