shopping

36. BRIDGING
TWO WORLDS
Women spend more time out of the house than ever before

Various ‘bridge products’ adopted to connect the two Worlds

with kids, and close “separation pangs”

46. BEST FRIEND
MOMS
To feel more in control, moms try to forge filial
friendship
• Listen to kids’ suggestions about their appearance
• Coax and persuade kids into doing things, than
‘make them do it’
Moms are feeling out of control vis-à-vis kids’
upbringing
• Working moms feel guilty about not spending
enough time
• Homemakers feel that as kids lead fuller lives, they
are hardly under their watchful eye

Women are playing more roles in and out of the

from the electrician to the bank manager
Working women especially lead a heroically hectic
life
• Effortless juggling of home and job
• Don’t want to ‘fall short’ in the house because
they work

51. TECHNO-WIZ
Women are getting more technology-savvy
• Feel the attraction of credit cards, mobiles
and computer
Therefore, demand some level of technology in
purchases
• Women buyers are demanding scientific
product logic and processes in their brands
• Rise of ‘kitchen logic’ in everything from
detergents to refrigerator

54. REMIXED
TRADITIONS
Increasing exposure to western satellite and global
lifestyles
• More responsive to the glamour of the west…
• …but staying within the boundaries of tradition
Therefore the success of creative culture cocktails
• McDonald’s offers Indianized fare like McCurry
Pan, McAloo Tikki Burger and Maharaja Mac to
cater to traditional Indian tastes
The influence of fusion dressing

husband
•A younger, larger group of women consumers will
emerge with unprecedented buying power
•They will make in-roads into the strong male
domains
•The double income lifestyle will come to stay
•Women will increasingly marry for love
•They will embark on new careers & change careers
no matter what
•Women will want to be portrayed as what they are
– stylish, modern, daring with their own
character and not just one dimensional
•Women will choose their priorities. If its balance
today, it will be more about taking control
