7. Research Methodology
RESEARCH PROBLEM
Seek the general perception of consumer towards Amul
Mithaimate.
To know the consumer psyche and their behaviour towards
Amul Mithaimate .
OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH
To know the relationship of sales with the advertisement.
To know awareness of people towards Amul Mithaimate.
To know the preference of Amul Mithaimate with comparison to
Nestle Milkmaid .
To know the factors which affects consumer’s buying behaviour.
8. FINDINGS
I find the main thing is that “Amul” brand name has very good
image in consumer’s mind and they consider it as Pure & Good
Product.
As I found that the main product of Amul is Milk and company firstly
wants to capture maximum market share in milk market which is
approx. 66%, after it Amul is concentrating upon butter & cheese
which has market share of approx. 88%, so it is not concentrating
upon Mithaimate.
There is lack of Sales Promotional Activities i.e. free tattoo, extra
weight, toys, quiz contest etc.
Generally, I found that most of the customers used to Nestle
milkmaid as compare Amul mithaimate.
Nestle is main competitor of Amul.
9. SUGGESTIONS
First and foremost Amul should take proper action in order to
improve service, because although being on a top slot in Butter and
milk supplies it does not get the sales in mithaimate, which it should
get.
Company should use brand ambassador which attracts each age
segment i.e. Enrique Iglesias, Shahrukh Khan, Shakira, Amitabh
Bacchan, Superman, Krrish, etc.
Amul should give local advertisements apart from the
advertisements given at the national level. Local advertisement
must mention the exclusive Amul shops of the city.
Try and change the perception of the people through word of mouth
about Amul in advertisements, because they are the best source to
reach Children and families.
Company Should make a strong relationship between consumer
and retailer.
10. CONCLUSION
AMUL will be an outstanding marketing organization, with
specialization in marketing of food and dairy products, both
fresh and long life with customer focus and information
technology integration.
AMUL has been satisfying the customers on a large scale
which ensures its success in the future.
In BILASPUR AMUL is found to be a highly preferred brand
for dairy products.
BILASPUR could be a great market for Amul, if it improves
its Supply Chain Management.
For market growth of Amul Mithaimte company should have
to provide a better services than other competitors like
Nestle.
