High disposable Income had facilitated them to buy television sets but services of cable TV were unsatisfactory. Since the launch of Dish TV, the whole gambit of viewership has changed. Moreover, Dish TV targeted cable dry/dark areas.
Current market shares of various players are as follows :- Dish TV : 30% Sun Direct: 25% Tata Sky: 22% BIG TV : 13% Airtel : 8% D2H : 2%
The growth in the rural segment can be attributed to frequent power cuts in the rural areas. DTH platform gives the rural consumer access to their favorite programs, with the help of generator/ invertors, which is not possible with the cable service in most of the areas.

Quick Statistics
Digital TV penetration is 34 per cent in rural areas and 11.9 per cent in urban India. Indian rural market generates about 50% of the countrys GDP. Small towns comprises around 840 million people.
According to data from National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO), rural consumption per person increased annually at 19% in the period 20092012. The following figures reflect rural Indias significance to the countrys economy: I n incremental terms, spending in rural I ndia during the period 20092012 rose by US$ 69 billion to urban Indias US$ 55 billion.
Defying logic, 70% of DTH connections in India are from rural and small towns (population under a million), as per a report by a marketing research firm (Francis Kanoi) Dish TV and DDs Direct Plus DTH service are the market leaders in Rural India, while Tata Sky, Dish TV and Sun Direct DTH services are the preferred brands in top metros. Out of 13.2 million DTH subscribers, over seven million DTH subscribers are from rural markets alone.
So, what explains the magic of DTH? Obviously, the key is its high-quality signal, especially for those consumers who were used to analog TV. Also, it has provided customers the choice to see what they want rather than being at the mercy of the cable operator. In India, DTH services are about customer service, viewing quality and value added services. Spending patterns show a significant divergence across rural and urban India. While the mean household income of urban India declined 3%, it increased 6% in rural India. Monthly ARPU in urban India fell ~15%, but showed a small increase in small towns.
DISH TVs are best as compared to city cable networks; because, it is easiest method to recharge through our mobiles/internet; easy to choose channels as per our choice and change the package also; there is very less maintenance and fast service.

4P Strategy of DishTV to target Rural Market - Growth for the digital segment in rural areas were 34%, 49% and 64% in the past three years. - 45mn customer base for Dish TV as on 2013 out of which 14.85mn customers are from rural India. - So, starting from 0 in 2004, it has now reached 14.85mn in 2013. Marketing strategy & its impact The strategy was to not concentrate on metros and large cities, where cable reigned supreme, and instead go to remote areas and rural markets where laying cable was not viable and consumers were starved for good content. It entered the market with limited programming: essentially the Zee bouquet and a few other channels.
By 2008-09 Tata Sky, Airtel and Reliance Big TV were aggressively building their brand and increasing the market share. Dish TV then empanelled Nielsen to conduct a research on the factors for considering a particular DTH brand and also the reason for considering Dish TV. They found out that consumers wanted more number of channels that satisfied their need for more is better when it comes to entertainment. The tagline: Sabse Zyada Entertainment took form, which emphasized the facets of quality, service, value and reach. Then they launched a Rs 100 Happy Home Pack, which was customized to offer entertainment in all genres such as general entertainment, sports, business, news, movies and cinema. The move witnessed 100% growth in sales, attracting 15,000 subscribers a day. Cashing in on the festive season, Dish TV added 3.4 lakh subscribers to its base. It left no stone unturned even during the economic slowdown and identified opportunities in the rural markets where the impact was minimal.
8 The first phase of communication focused on raising awareness about DTH services amongst the target audience. With this idea of tapping the potential in cable-dry rural areas before going national, Dish launched a campaign Dish Har Chhat Par in 11 languages. By 2006-07, Dish TV had added Star and Sony to its bouquet to take the number of channels to 155. It adopted the tagline Bring Home Your Passion to motivate the consumer rationally as well as emotionally to buy Dish TV The company then focused on empowering the consumers by giving them the control of what they wanted with the new tagline: Future of TV entertainment.

Personnel to Prospective
To ensure awareness first. Do some give way campaigns. Promotions as suggested in the previous slides.
Then announce a Dish TV festival which will have ecents like Movie Screening Lucky Draw Meals/Snacks Comedy & Poetry shows Meditation or health sessions for the elderly.
This will only be for those who have a Dish TV installed at their homes. Thereby ensuring people buying it to enjoy this benefit. The festival as such wont also cost us a lot. It can also be spread across villages. The way forward Dish TV is buoyant about its one-upmanship in the DTH category. Now that Dish TV is out with a brand new communication strategy to pull in more consumers, the challenge is to stay relevant to its audience amid the clutter created by new entrants. The growth strategy has to be largely customer centric. The brand has increased its distribution with live transmission in buses and trains. It has also made its headway in ships and yards. Vying for a bigger market share, Dish TV has tied up with yatra.com for applications like Travel Active; monster.com for Monster Jobs Active; and shaadi.com for Shaadi Active Matrimonial. It has introduced an interactive banking service with ICICI Bank and tied up with Caf Coffee Day and Kingfisher for cross-promotions. Since the brand has a wide distribution network and deep penetration in Tier II and Tier III markets, it feels the alliance would bridge the unmet need of an audience whose access to the internet is limited. Yet, there are some major challenges which DTH has to combat. Its acquisition cost of a subscriber is more than double of that of digital cable, as it has to subsidize each set-top box by Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,500. The depreciation of the rupee has made it worse because most set-top boxes are imported. DTH players recently passed on some of the costs to subscribers, but they cannot do so indefinitely when they are looking at deeper penetration in the market. As a result, the bottom-line of most of them is under pressure and companies like Dish TV and Airtel's DTH business are in the red.
WHAT TO DO Online portals are also expected to be instrumental for companies trying to access rural markets, in the near future. Gives demos at Mandis after crop season because farmers are cash rich & able to commit.
The other concern is the tax burden on operators which is squeezing profitability. As much as 33 per cent of their top-line goes to pay the government: 10 per cent as revenue share and another 23 per cent as service and entertainment tax (on an average; it varies from state to state). The DTH industry has been lobbying hard against it. Companies entering rural emerging markets with new brands can also gain consumer trust by piggybacking on the trust that they place in local non-profit organizations and local citizens. ITC, for example, chose to piggyback on the reputation of prominent farmers when it started its e- Choupal initiative to extend its distribution channel deep into rural communities in India.
