2. What is a 360 Marketing Campaign

4. Digital media campaign for mutual funds
One of the main problem with mutual funds as a category is that though it is a 49 year-old industry, and India has 34 of the world’s best brands, it accounts for 5 per cent of household savings. Hence there are three key barriers that prevent people from investing in mutual funds.
- The first barrier is that people think it’s about quick returns,
- the second is that people believe one needs a lot of money to invest in mutual funds.
- and Thirdly, they believe it’s about equity, high risk and therefore ‘not for me’

5. Hence, it becomes peccary to educate the consumers regarding mutual funds and Education in this category, normally, is done sporadically with no continuity. Thus to creating a common platform for all education initiatives. All the small things we do on education will find their way here, and we will keep enriching the online platform giving enough reason for investors to keep visiting
