MARKET RESARCH
INTRODUCTION
Usually it is said that if marketing would be a train, than market research
would be the locomotive. In other words, market research should ideally be the
starting point on any marketing exercise. Conducting any marketing exercise- be it
related to pricing, promotion or distribution of a product or service. Without
researching the potential market is as sensible as setting out sell sand in the Sahara
Desert.
Market research provides the answers to all the questions that generally occupy the
minds of marketers, at every stage of the marketing process.

Service Quality
Service quality is not easy to measure in a precise manner. The nature and
characteristics of services can have an impact on quality issues: There are many
definitions of Service quality,
PageNo-8
The customer’s overall judgment of service quality can be an evaluation of
both the process and the outcome, compared with the customer’s own expectations
and desired benefits. This leads to an important idea in assessing quality from a
services marketing perspective: perceived service quality.

Customer Focus
Quality begins with customer and also ends with them. Day’s when
organisation and customers were treated as two different entities. The marketplace
has become very competitive, and it is no longer possible to run a business without
strong focus on the customer . Show this relationship.

A low cost method of obtaining customer feedback involves a comment card, is
attached to the warranty card and include with the time of purchase. The intent of
the card is to get simple information such as name, address, age, occupation and
the factors
Survey
PageNo-12
This tool is in the form of a questionnaire where the customer is asked to furnish
answer relating to the quality of product and services. To make survey more useful
must be remember the following:
4. Before the data is collected, you know how you want to analysis and use it.
Focus Groups
A focus groups is a research method use to find out what the customer are
really thinking. A group of customer is assembled in ameeting room to answer a
series of question. The moderator, understands clearly the type of information that
must be elicited and a plain to obtain it. Meetings are designed tofocus on the
current, proposed and future product and services.
Customer Visits
Visit to a customer’s place of business provides another way of gathering
information. An organization can pro-actively monitor the performance of its
product while it is in use. It can, thereby identify any specific problems. Senior
managers should be involved in these visits and not delegate them to someone else.
However it is a good idea to take along operating personnel so that they can see
first and how the product is performing.
Report Card

CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
In today’s challenging and competitive world of fast changing technology,
consumer tastes are also characterized by fast changes. So to survive in the market
the firms have to be in touch with the changing consumer preferences. Marketers
have to understand consumer behaviour and factors influencing in the buying
behaviour of the customers in order to be successful in this dynamic and
competitive environment.
PageNo-15
consumer behavior is the behaviour that the consumer display while
searching for, evaluating, purchasing and disposing of products and services that they
expect will satisfy their needs. Consumer behaviors are the study of how consumer
makes their decisions to spend their resources on consumption related items i.e. time,
efforts and money.Study of consumer behaviour proves the marketers an insight
regarding the consumer preferences and helps them in effective market segmentation
and targeting. The importance of consumer behavior lies in the fact that behavior can
be understood and influenced to ensure a positive purchase decision. So around
understanding of consumer behavior is necessary for long run success of any
marketing program. That’s why the marketing manager’s interest lies exactly in
understanding consumer behavior to ensure that his marketing strategy results in
purchase of product.

For instance, the new aqua guard nova priced at Rs. 7600 will be targeted at
people who have already had an aqua guard in their house for more than a

well. However the company will not be venturing into new product segments.
Currently it has products in water and air purifier, vacuum cleaner and security

EUREKA FORBES LIMITED—the Organization.
Eureka Forbes is Rs billion multi- product multi- channel corporation which

health and hygiene products to Indian consumers. It has evolved as a leader in
domestic and industrial water purification system, vacuum cleaners, air purifiers
and security solution.
Eureka Forbes were the first to introduce domestic Water Purification System
(1984)- the “ Aquagurd” model-as wel as it revolutionized the Indian market by
introducing products like Home Cleaning System (1982), and Air Purification
System (1994). In order to introduce these previously unknown products to
asocietly in which nationwide commercial compagns were an impossibility, the
companyhad to pioneer another innovation- directing sealing. The crops of suit-
clad Eureka Forbes salesman were the first such in the country and were
tremendous success. They are now- Asia’s largest direct selling organization with a
5000 strong direct sales force touching 1.25 million Indian homes and adding 1,500
customer daily. Such was the success of Eureka Forbes that “Aquaguard” has now
become asynonym for water purifier in India, like “Xerox” for [photocopying]
“ The promise was clear: To create a company that wouldn’t be about bricks,
mortar or sales graphs, but driven by something for more potent. Something that
would stand the would stand the test of time: relationships”
DIRECT marketing
Eureka Forbes followed the globally “tried and tested direct selling route for
marketing its products in India, thus becoming one of the first direct selling
companies in India. Vacuum cleaners for water purifiers were rather new concepts
for India consumer, who had till then followed only the traditional methods of
cleaning and filtering. Therefore , Eureka Forbes had to first establish the concept
of vacuum cleaners and water purifiers in India before it
could sell ‘Eureka’ is a brand. The company believed that its core strength was its
people. It employed dynamic, highly motivated individuals, called ‘ Euro champs’
who projected. The image of “ The friendly man from Eureka Forbes. Thus, for the
PageNo-20
average Indian consumer, Eureka Forbes become synonymous with the smartly
dressed salesman who come to their houses and cleaned up things in a jiffy or
showed how air/water purifier were indispensable. Eurochams intitially targeted
the metros but soon began visiting smaller cities and towns also commenting on the
decision to diversity into bottled water company sources said that it was only to
strong then the core products by capitalizing on their brand image. Goklaney said “
In the water category, I will conduct activities which strengthen my core products.
How I do that and what I do is a matter of strategy”. According to company
sources, Eureka Forbes not only had the financial strength, but also a strong
network to sales executives to push its new products into the market. The company’s
decision to enter the retail business was primarily the result of its launch of
‘Tronada’ vacuum cleaners and ‘Aquaflo’ water purifier in 1995. Eureka Forbes
had utilized the retail route for this range, mainly to cater to the industrial segment.
Over the years, the retail business assumed greater significance and by 1999,
around 5% of the company’s sales came from the 2500- strong dealer network
in1999. Eureka Forbes ltd. The leading vacuum cleaner and water/air purifier
equipment company, announced a major policy change that came as a surprise to
the Indian corporate world. The company, regarded as the pioneer of direct
marketing in India, was planning to focus more on the retailing business in the
future. Commenting on this decision, & Goklaney, Marketing Director, Eureka
Forbes, Said “ Direct sales permits us to exploit only the top end of the market.”
This move was in accordance with the company’s plans to increase the validity of
its products. The company planned to make its products available in retail outlets

Boston (USA) November 11, 2005 Eureka Forbes Limited, the pioneer of Direct
Sales in India, entered the hallowed portals of Harvard Business School by
joining the band of select companies which have become a case study in its MBA
classrooms. Today, 900 students at this globally recognized centre of business
education, began studying a case
based on Eureka Forbes, titled
"Managing The Sales Effort"
written by Professor Das
Narayandas of this school; assisted
by Senior Researcher Kerry
Hermann from the Global Research
Group. Mr. Suresh Goklaney,
Managing Director of Eureka
Forbes, himself an alumnus, was in
Boston today on invitation from the
Harvard Business School and said "The 5500 salespersons working for Eureka
Forbes - whom we fondly call Euro Champs - will be delighted that the unique
and young company which they have created over the last 24 years has been
found worthy by Harvard Business School to write a case study on". Eureka
Forbes, about to go into its Silver Jubilee year, has notched up an impressive
turnover of Rs. 6.1 Billion (Rs. 610 Crores) selling premium life style products
like water purifiers and vacuum cleaners which bring better health to the
families of their customers. In the growing sunrise markets of water purification
and vacuum cleaning, Eureka Forbes enjoys market shares upwards of 70%
through its brands Aqua Guard and Euro Clean respectively. In the year 2004,
Aqua Guard was chosen as a "Super brand" by a panel of eminent persons in
the Indian industry. To achieve this success, it followed a marketing system very
different from those adopted by most consumer product companies. It did not set
up a dealer network to sell its products but it set up a "Direct Sales" system
instead. The Harvard Business School case takes a look at this unique business
model which creates value for the customers - not through pricing and
discounting and offers as dealer network marketers do - but through a very
different contact system, a different contact site, and a different company
culture. Mr. Suresh Goklaney explained the uniqueness of the system as follows
"Relationship Marketing may have become a buzzword now but we at Eureka
Forbes started it 24 years ago. Our process of acquiring customers is not by
luring them into the stores through discounts and offers but by contacting them
in the comfort of their homes where it is possible for us to find them unhurried,
where we can understand them and their circumstances and then suggest
PageNo-63
appropriate solutions for their health and hygiene and safety needs. We then
demonstrate how these solutions perform in their home conditions, answer every
question they may have and we deliver these solutions right at their doorstep.
Even the after sales service is provided at their doorstep. This is the difference
between them and us".
Apart from achieving sales and profits, according to Mr. Suresh Goklaney, what
may have impressed Harvard Business School, is "Over the last 24 years we
have created a huge intangible asset of over 4 million customers who have
welcomed us into their houses to see our demonstrations, to buy our products
and then to get them serviced. They have seen us inside their homes! That is
quite an exceptional example of relationship marketing, it is for reason that our
slogan is 'Your friend for life'". The case study focuses on the innovative
practices Eureka Forbes has employed in translating this philosophy of
becoming friend for life, into actual operational practices. In particular the case
explores whether sales force should be motivated by setting goals for the results
of the sales efforts or for the efforts themselves. It explores how a superstructure
of direct sales field force was built employing 5500 EuroChamps (salespersons
fondly called so) who operate out of 150 offices of the company in about 100
cities; and the systems created for recruiting,
inducting, training, motivating, compensating and
leading them. In the year 2004, Eureka
Forbes was recognised as the "16th Best
Employer" of India in the Hewitt Survey. The
vision of the company is "To create a happy,
healthy and pollution free world based on long
lasting customer relationships" and is
realized not only through the sales force but also
through a structure of 900 service locations. "For
80% of our customers, we have a service centre within 5 km radius". That is a
tough act indeed for any competitor to duplicate. The efforts of the company in
giving franchised service were recognized in 2005 through the "Best
Franchisor" award it received. Mr. Suresh Goklaney said "We attribute our
success to our unique culture and people orientation. The four pillars of our
employee orientation are "Earning, Learning, Pride and Fun". We believe in
developing business through developing people. We have an in-house "Academy
of Learning" and also have tie-ups with business schools which help train our
talent. To create a "Learning Organization" we created Knowledge
Management function within the company just 4 years ago and feel amply
rewarded by the journey because recently, at Seoul in Korea, we were given a
MAKE (Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise) award for Asia"

The study is limited to the areas of KOlKATA.
The sample size of only 100 was taken from a large population for the

population.

extent.
As the data was collected through the questionnaire, I faced the limitation
that respondents were unwilling to provide information.
