Adding another feather to its cap, Reliance Media World is all set to tap into the rich potential of rural markets with the launch of a new business unit BIG RURAL. This division of Reliance Media World is the radio industry`s first attempt to reach out to rural markets and offer marketers activation solutions backed by radio support. A truly thought leadership initiative, BIG Rural will give brands inroads into lakhs of villages across the country.
BIG Rural seeks to leverage the wide network of BIG 92.7 FM, which has 45 stations and presence in 52 cities in India. BIG 92.7 FM already covers over 10% of the rural population of the country, which gives it access to rural consumers. The current reach of BIG FM extends to over 52000 villages and 200 smaller towns, which are the engines of economic growth in the coming years. With the proposed Phase III roll out of FM Radio licensing, it is just further expected to expand to over 2,50,000 villages across India.
Any rural operation requires efficient monitoring and with a wide network presence with in-house activation manpower dedicated to on ground activations BIG RURAL provides an edge with greater efficiency and better execution of projects. Given the importance of costs in this business, local vendor development is another significant advantage that BIG RURAL will build, creating greater value for clients. Additionally with local creative teams in place in the radio business, the ability to tap local insights and socio-cultural understanding is easily enabled, which will lead to more effective marketing solutions for clients.
BIG RURAL will offer clients the whole range of rural solutions from activation in villages, to activation of rural consumer aggregation points - Haats, Rural Melas, Rural Fairs etc. Eventually BIG RURAL will also create properties catering to the rural population which can become platforms for brands to market their products/services.
