Yippie Noodles Marketing Mix (4Ps) & Marketing Strategy
Marketing strategy of Yippie Noodles through marketing mix framework which covers the 4Ps (Product, Price, Place, Promotion).
Yippie Noodles Product Strategy:
Yippie Noodles is a popular ready-to-cook noodles brand, which is available in many flavors. A packet of instant Yippie noodle comprises of a noodle cake and a masala pouch. The product strategy in its marketing mix is to offer instant noodles which are ready to eat after simply adding hot water.To prepare a meal one has to boil some water, pour the masala and then submerge the rectangular noodle cake. The noodle cake being rectangular, it needs to be broken, this has been a trend since Maggi first advertised it this way. But Yippie innovated this product by offering a circular cake, that has been the point of difference for the brand. The Noodle cake is made of wheat and the masala is made from various vegetable ingredients and household masalas. One other USP of the product is that even 30 minutes after preparing the noodle the meal does not turn into lumps. It remains as slurpy as it is supposed to be. Yippie noodle comes in a number of varieties, to name a few – Classic Masala and Magic Masala.
