INTRODUCTION Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas goods and services to create exchange that satisfy individual and organizational goals today marketing must be understood not in the old sense of making sale-telling and selling. The marketing has changed from Barter concept to new sense of satisfying customer needs. The objective of all marketing effort should to maximize customer satisfaction. An individual firms success depends not only on how well it has performs, but also on how well its entire supply chain and marketing channel competes with competitors channels. The customer is the key. Therefore the satisfaction of consumer is the prime objective of an enterprise. Satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure of disappointments resulting from comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her expectations. Many companies are aiming for high satisfaction because customers who are just satisfied still find it easy to switch when better offer comes along. Customer satisfaction is both a goal and a marketing tool. Customers first interaction with the product occurs at the retail level. The availability of the product, their display, spacing etc, influence the customers purchase decision to a large extends. Retailers also act as an important link between consumers and the company. They are closer to the customers know his wants and needs better than the company. This information is highly useful to the company in catering the consumers wants and needs.
This study on Customer Satisfaction of Bajaj two wheeler is a step to understand the factors which are effective for the success of the product. 50 samples are taken for this study to understand the satisfaction level of the customers.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION: Organizations are increasingly interested retaining existing customers while targeting non-customers measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication of how successful the organization is at providing products and /or services to the marketplace. Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual manifestation of the state of satisfaction will very from person to person and the product/service to product/service. The state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and physical variables which chorrelate with satisfaction behaviors such as return and recommended rate. The level of satisfaction can also very depending on other options the customer may have and other products against which the customer can compare the organizations products.
CUSTOMER SWITCHING: The switching path is triggered by a factor that changes the present relationship between customer and supplier by somehow making the customer aware of different reasons for switching. This initiating factor affects the entire switching path. There are three different triggers: external, internal, and situational. In the trigger, the company that the customer has switched to has served as some kind of comparative object vis-a-vis the company with which he has broken the rela-
tionship. The new company has perhaps changed or improved its business concept, is a new competitor, or simply can offer something that the former company could not. During the process, the customer begins to consider a change and becomes sensitive to the various factors that finally lead to a switch. The time span can vary and is here termed process duration. The main reason for switching, according to the customer, is called the push factor. There are also tip factors, which alone cannot speed up or extend the switching process but which can expedite or delay the path that the customer goes through while considering a change. Even other factors could be classified as causes for switching, since the) alone could lead to switching and not only be considered trip factors. These factors are not classified as switching causes but as sub-push factors because the respondents do not consider them to be the main reason for switching. Even if a customer has switched, there can be reasons why he could consider returning to the first company, by the force of a pull factor. Even if a customer breaks the relationship with a company, it is important to stress that the break should be handled professionally and end on friendly terms. The former customer is otherwise likely to spread negative word-of-mouth
CUSTOMER EXPECTATION: Customer satisfaction is largely a reflection of the expectations and experiences that the customer has with a product or service. However expectations also reflect that influences the evaluation of the product or service. When we make major purchases, we research the product or service and gain information from the advertising, salespersons, and word-of-mouth from friends and asso-
ciates. This information influences our expectations and ability to evaluate quality, value, and the ability of the product or service to meet our needs. In meeting customers' requirements and measuring customers' satisfaction indexes, customer perception should be definitely a key consideration. Qualified services in the operation execution layer, technical management layer and business development layer are necessary. However, it is even more important to efficiently understand customer expectations and make efforts to exceed their expectations. Therefore, customer perception management becomes a central topic. Frankly speaking, among all indexes in customer satisfaction management, the biggest challenge is customer perception management, or customer perception satisfaction.
IMPORTANCE OF MARKETING: As consumption initiates production, the producer should identify the motives, which promote consumers to purchase. This helps him to offer a total product that can satisfy the consumers needs. Thus consumers inner motives such as fear, pride, fashion, profession, purchasing power are the things which decide the buying pattern. Todays marketers have also released the buying power of the consumers and they are constantly trying to adopt their product suite the ever changing needs of the customers. Its importance is To create awareness about new products in the minds of the customer.
To attract the customers to buy the products
THE OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS OF MARKETING: MARKET: A market consists of all the potential customers sharing a particular need or want who might be willing and able to engage in exchange of products to satisfy the need or want. MARTKETING: Marketing is social and management processes by which individuals and group obtain what they need and what they want through creating offering and exchange products of value with other. MARKET SEGMENTATION: Market segmentation is a method for achieving maximum market response from limited marketing resources by recognizing difference in the response characteristics of various parts of the market. In the sense market segmentation is the strategy of divide and conquer i.e. dividing markets in order to conquer items for different group of customer there exist different sets of marketing strategy .segmentation strategy is an answer to the question, to whom should, one sell his product and what he sell them? It is a strategic choice concerned with doing the right things as opposed to tactical choice, doing things right. It enables the marketer to give better attention to the selection of customers and offer an appropriate marketing mix for each segment or a group of buyer having similar demand.
CORE CONCEPT OF MARKETING: THE PRODUCT CONCEPT: The product concept hold that consumer will favor those product that offer the most quality, performance or innovation focus their energy on making superior product and improving them over time.

MARKETING MIX: Marketing mix is a combination of 4ps such as product, price, promotion and place (distribution channel) to deliver standard goods and services.
4 PS OF MARKETING:
PRODUCT: a product can be anything that can be offered to a market for attention acquisition use or consumption that might satisfy a need or want. PRICE: economists defines price as the exchange value of a product or reserve always impressed in terms of money. PROMOTION: promotion may be defined as the various activities that the company undertakes to promote its products to the target market.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL: it can be defined as the set of marketing institution participating in marketing activities involved in the movement or the flow of goods and services from the primary product to the ultimate consumer. TYPES OF BUYING BEHAVIOR: COMPLEX BUYING BEHAVIOR: The consumers go through complex buying behavior when they are highly involved in a purchase and aware of significant among brands. Consumer are involves when the product is expensive, brought infrequently risky and highly self expressive. DISSONANCE REDUCING BUYING BEHAVIOR: Sometimes the consumer is highly involved in the purchase but sees the little difference in the product & service. The high involvement is again on the fact that the purchase is expensive infrequently risky. HABITUAL BUYING BEHAVIOR: Many products are bought under conditions of low consumer involvement and the absence of significant product difference, consumer do not search extensively for information about the product, evaluate their characteristics and make weightily decision on which product to buy. VARIETY SEEKING BUYING BEHAVIOUR: Some buying situation is characterized by low consumer involvement but significant product difference. Here consumer is often observed to do a lot of product switching. The buyers behavior is influenced by four major factor cultural (cultural, sub cultural,& social class),social(reference group, family,& roles & sta-
10
tus )personal ( age & life stage, occupation, economic circumstances. Life styles, personality, self concept & psychological (motivation, perception learning & belief and attitude). All of these provide clues to know reach and serve buyers more effectively.
NECESSITY OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION: The emerging consumer movement necessities markets to understand consumer behavior their needs, expectations and problems.

A company tools for tracking and measuring customer satisfaction range from primitive to sophisticate. The following methods are used to measure customer satisfaction
1. Complaints and suggestion system: A customer centered organization would make it easy for its customer to deliver suggestions and complaints. Many customers maximize the ease with telephone numbers, customer can inquire, make suggestion on complaint. These information flows provide these companies with many good ideas and enable them to act more rapidly to resolve the problems. 2. Lost customer analysis: Companies should contact customers who have stopped buying or switched to another supplier. It is important to conduct exit interview and monitor the customer loss rate. 3. Customer satisfaction survey: A company must not conclude that it can get a full picture of customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction by simply running a complaint and suggestion system. Studies show that customer4s are dissatisfied with one out of every ten purchases and less than 2% dissatisfied customers will complain customers may feel that their complaints are minor. Purchasing and consuming
13
It is important to distinguish between purchase and consumption for three reasons. Firstly the product may be purchased by 1% and consumed by another. Secondaly the purchase depends on consumer expectation of the degree to which brands are likely to satisfy needs. Thirdly a consumer post purchase evolution determines whether the brand is likely to be repurchased.
Satisfaction v/s Dissatisfaction Satisfaction occurs when customers expectations met to exceed and the purchase decision is reinforced. Satisfaction reinforces positive attitudes towards the brand leading to a greater likelihood that the customer will re purchase the same brand, dissatisfaction results when consumer expectation is not met. Thus we assert that b the buyers forms a judgment of value acts on it whether the buyers are satisfied after purchase depends upon the offer performance in relation to the buyers expectation. here is our definition of customer satisfaction, thus the satisfaction level is a function of the difference between perceived performance and expectations. a customer could experience on their board level of satisfaction. If the performance matches the expectations the customer is satisfied if the performance exceeds expectations, a customer is highly satisfied, pleased or delighted. But how do buyers form their expectations? Expectations are formed on the basis of the buyers past buying experience, statements made by friends and associates and market and competitor information and promises etc. if marketers raise expectations to high the buyers are likely to be disappointed, some of todays most successful company are raising expectations and delivering performance to match. Thus companies are aiming for total consumer satisfaction.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MARKETING: It refers to developing stronger bonds with customers. It is the process of managing detailed information about individual customers and carefully managing all customers to maximize customer loyalty. A customer touch point is any occasion on which a customer encounters the brand and the product from actual experience to personal or mass communications to casual observations. Customer relationship marketing enables companies to provide excellent real time customer service through the effective use of individual accounting information. Based on what they know about each valued customer, companies can customize market offerings, services, messages and media, and also it is important because it is a major driver of company profitability is the aggregate value of the companys customer base. Some customers will inevitable become inactive or drop out for reasons, moves to other location, dissatisfaction so on. Here the companies challenge is to reactive dissatisfied customers through customers backing strategies. It is often easier to re attract the ex-customers because the company knows their names and histories. Developing more loyal customers increases revenue. However the company has to spend more to build greater customer loyalty. How much should company invest relationship building, so that the cost does not exceed the gains, we need to distinguish 5 different levels of investment n customer relationship building. 1. Basic marketing:
15
The salesman simply sells the product. 2. Reactive marketing: The salesman sells the product and encourages the customer to call if he or she has question, comments or complaints.
3. Accounting marketing: The sales person phones the customers a short time after the sale to check whether the product is meeting expectation. T he sales person also asks for any product service improvement suggestion and any specific disappointments. This information helps their company to continue to improving its performance.
4. Proactive marketing: The company sales person contacts the customer from time to time with suggestion about improved product uses or helpful new products.
5. Partnership marketing: The company works continues with the customer to discover ways to perform better.
