IODEX-New Targetting !
From past few days Iodex has been airing this new commercial featuring a couple on their reception(marriage) party.
(sorry i could not get the commercial anywhere)
In the commercial the bride is suffering from backache which gets fine after applying Iodex in 5 minutes.This is first time when Iodex(or similar product ) has chosen such a young customer.Iodex always used old men ( or women) or middle aged working men who were more likely to suffer from back pain.
Remeber that rs 500 rupee note or old ‘Iodex maliye kaam pe chaliye’ ads
Even in ‘Moov’ ads married woman with kids were shown to suffer from backaches.
But as our society has changed over the years,IT,MBA etc etc,the problems faced by young too have changed.These days young generation complaining of back ache is neither a surprise nor a shock(even i suffer from it sometimes ; ) ).
So Iodex also has enlarged their target audience which didnt include the younger generation.Some would argue that iodex’s target audience is people suffering from backache.
What i mean is in the past commercials of Iodex,always middle aged people were shown.They never showed someone so young using their product.
Volini and Relispray also show young people in their commercials but both these actually cater a bit different market.Their target audience is young people suffering from small twists and pain due to sports like activities.
I dont know whether this really is what iodex thought but this is what is being perceived and may give Iodex some new customers.

Yes it is indeed a very good observation. Iodex and similar pain relief balms always target middle aged women especially housewives. I’ve seen that ad and my first reaction to it was.. yeh age mein backache! so they are targeting the 20′s.

Wow! That is a fine post. Thanks! I have read a few of your other articles and they are all newsworthy and informative – maintain the great work. Again thank you for the useful thoughts.
Being a working mom in my late 40-ties, living in the Northern part of Idaho. As a hobby, I run marathons. Hence, I have to deal with back pain oftentimes. After I did run my last run I had to take a time-out. It was aching terribly. Meanwhile I am recovering from back pain, because I followed the advice I found here: Get Back Pain Relief Now and Lose The Back Pain (Get Your Free Pain Relief Guide!)
The founder of The Healthy Back Institute, Jesse Canonne, recently published his brand new book titled “The 7 Day Back Pain Cure” and for the moment you can get it for FREE. Grab a FREE copy. And hurry – the offer can be taken from the market at any time!
Thank you again and keep up the genuine work and much success!
