Challenge
FITCH has been working with Asian Paints, India’s largest commercial paint manufacturer, for the past 6 years to change their brand perception to be seen as the home and décor experts in Asia.
Insight
In India, consumers are scared of colour… when it comes to decorating that is! Home decorating is seen as a hassle in India where consumers lack confidence in making imaginative choices.
Solution
Presented as a ‘walk-in home décor magazine’, FITCH first created ‘Colour with Asian Paints’ experience store in Mumbai, India.
This store doesn’t sell a single pot of paint, instead, it is an ultimate playground of colour that allows consumers to experience what colour can do for their homes. It creates an inspirational and interactive colour experience where guests build colour confidence, get inspired by the latest room-sets, test and make their décor ideas happen in their homes.
As a result of the Colour experience, the Asian Paints brand has fundamentally changed.
“The Colour store experience has fundamentally changed our brand. We are now the colour and décor experts
in India.”
