CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Narayan Rice Mill is a rice mill established in 2000 A.D. with a view to indulge in the business of conversion of paddy into rice and thus raise profit and at the same time behave in a socially responsible manner. Narayan Rice Mill is a sole trading concern, the entire management of which is vested upon the owner namely Mr. Mukesh Sharma. More over the concern is run by a team of 5 office employees. The close supervision of the owner coupled with enthusiasm and zeal of the employees provide an appropriate platform for the operation of the concern as for as achievement of its objective are concerned. The mission of the concern is to be one of the major market player in the said locality by the end of year 2008 A.D. by enhancing its market share to 68% from its current level of 32%. Besides this the concern also aims to behave in a social responsible manner by initiating a scheme of educational scholarship for the students of financially unsound background who intends to pursue higher studies in the field of management. The concern is situated about 2 km north of Dubai along the Dharan- Jogbani highway. This location is ideal in the sense that its helps the concern to reap certain benefits associated with the

Page 1 of 29

centralization of industries in the said locality and also reap benefits of rich paddy production in the said area. N.R.M is a category of a sole trading concern and hence almost the entire capital is contributed by the proprietor himself. Moreover the concern aims to go public in the near future. Advertising is one of the four major tools by which the firm directs persuasive communications to target buyers and publics. It consists of non-personal forms of communication conducted through paid media under clear sponsorship.

Advertising is one of the four major tools by which the firm directs persuasive communications to target buyers and publics. It consists of non-personal forms of communications conducted through paid media under clear sponsorship. Advertising is one of the most widely used promotion tools. It is used by business, non-government organizations. Charities and service institutions. Advertising is any paid form of non-personal communication by an identified sponsor to promote products. The close supervision of the owner coupled with segregation of duties into recording, custodial and authorization functions provide a good system of prevention and detection of errors and frauds. The future plans of the N.R.M are as follows:

Page 2 of 29

1. Expansion plans leading to increase in production level to 400 quintals of rice per day from its present level of 100 qt. per day. 2. Cost reduction plans to cut conversion cost by 30% through adoption of cost cutting measures such as replacement of semimodern plans with fully modern plans conducting time and motion study and so on. 3. Besides this the concern also aims to go public by the end of year 2007 A.D. in order to obtain resources to support increased needs as a result of expansion. 1.2 Purpose of Field Study: People have sought for years to define the purpose of advertising. In his Madison Avenue, USA, Martin Mayer sounded a skeptical note by saying: Only the very brave or the very ignorant can say exactly what advertising does in the marker place. It is fairly clear, however, what advertising is supposed to do. In ultimate terms, advertising is undertaken to increase company sales and / or profits over what they otherwise would be. Advertising however, is rarely able to create sales by itself. Whether the customer buys also depends upon the products, the price, the packaging, the personal selling, the services, the financing, and the other aspects of the marketing process. Following points will emphasize more or make clear about the purpose of advertising. Information: Advertising disseminates information to target customers. The information can be about the products brand, uses, features, advantages, benefits, price and avaibility. The aim is to create brand awareness and acceptance. Page 3 of 29

Persuasion: Advertising persuades target customers to make the purchase decision in favor of the advertised brand. The aim is to stimulate product demand, build brand preference and encourage purchases and brand switching. It attracts middleman to carry the brand. Reminder: Advertising reminds the customer about a brand. Customers have short-lived memories about the brand name. Frooti ads remind customers about the need for soft drinks in summer. Image building: Image building advertising creates goodwill about the organization in the perception of customers. This adds value to the products. For e.g. Sony ads focus its SONY. Competition: Advertising helps to face competition. It aims to meet competition or gain advantage over competitors. More specifically; the purpose of advertising is to enhance potential buyers responses to the organization and its offerings. It seeks to do this by providing information, by trying to channelize desires, and by supplying reasons for preferring the particular organizations offering. There is much debate & confusion about the extent of advertisings power to influence buyer behavior. Critics of advertising such as Vance Packard charge that many of us are being influenced and manipulated, far more than we realize, in the patterns of our everyday lives. Packard believes that the scientific probing our everyday lives. Packard believes that the scientific probing into subconscious motives has been advertising agencies on precedent skill in moulding buyer thought processes and purchasing decisions. Page 4 of 29

Others dispute this position. They point to the few message people really observe out of the thousands they are exposed to. They point to the immunity developed by many Americans to much of the advertising around them. They point to the fact that advertising is only one of several influences on a persons behavior and probably far less important-because it is known to be self serving- than such influences as peers and personal observation. It is difficult to know how effective advertising is, expect in the more obvious cases. Direct action advertising, such as mail-order & want ad advertising, serves to stimulate immediate sales. Its effectiveness is therefore directly measurable. Delayed action advertising purports to build up favorable attitudes. There is little doubts that the brand advertising of such companies as Alberto-Culver & Revlon has been a measure factor in their success, but one must remember that these companies also offer good products and have good merchandising & trade coverage. Effective advertising alone would not compensate for bad products or other faults in the marketing program. In fact, it can even hasten the demise of a bad product by accelerating its use and negative word of mouth. If the firms offering is sound, however, advertising can make a significant contribution in the marketing process. Various lists have been drawn of the conditions under which advertising is likely to be a significant factor in the marketing process. The contribution of company advertising is likely to be greater. When buyer awareness is minimal. Page 5 of 29

When industry sales are rising rather than remaining stable or declining. When the product has features normally not observable to the buyer. When the opportunities for product differentiation are strong. When discretionary incomes are high.

1.3

Procedure of Field Study The wide diversity of occasion for the use of advertising makes it essential that management develop a clear conception of what it specifically wants to achieve through its overall advertising efforts as well as through particular advertising campaigns down to specific ads. Defining goals is the key requirement for effective advertising planning and the measurement of results. Yet the failure to define advertising goals is the leading deficiency, according to the two major studies. The ultimate goal of advertising is to increase the firms profitability. Because of the difficulty of measuring this, most advertisers settle for more measurable goals. The possible goals, ranked in terms of ease of measurement (though inversely in terms of importance), are: Exposure: An exposure means that a target member of the audience was exposed to the medium carrying the ad, not that he actually saw it. Advertisers often set the goal of achieving a certain number of exposure per period to a target audience.

Page 6 of 29

Awareness: Advertisers would have more confidence if they knew that the target audience actually heard or saw the ad. They may set a goal of achieving a certain level of audience awareness of the message. The campaigns success can be measured through surveys collecting audience ad recall of recognition. Attitudes: A higher level goal occurs when the advertisers specifies a certain level of favorable attitude he wants the advertising to achieve in the target audience. Attitudes are of course influenced by other things than the advertising, but the advertiser may want to measures as carefully as possible the attitude impact of the advertising campaign. Sales : Companies would prefer to set a certain sales goal for their advertising to achieve. While the actual sales impact of advertising is difficult to isolate, some progress in measurement is being made. Advertising goals should be formulated by advertisers as specifically as possible in order to guide the copy development, media selection, and results measurement. The stated goal to create brand preference is much weaker than to establish 30% preference is much weaker than to establish 30% preference for brand X among Y million housewives by next year. Colley listed as many as fifty-two specific communication goals, including: Announce a special reason for buying now. Build familiarity and easy recognition of package or trademark. Place advertiser in position to select preferred distributors and dealers.- Persuade prospect to visit a showroom, ask for a demonstration. Build moral of company sales force.

1.4

Methods of Data Collection 100s study is about Narayan rice mill. For the study different sources are used:

1.4.1 Primary Sources: Primary sources are original data gathered by the researcher for the research project at hand. Thus, these data are collected for meeting the specific objective of the study. Primary data can be collected through interviews, questionnaires, observation, or experiments. 1.4.2 Secondary Source: Under secondary data, data are collected through second person. It is in the form of raw data and published materials. However the unpublished data such as record, reports or statistics gathered or compiled by other prior to our study are also called secondary data. This report is based on both sources, but basically depends upon secondary data. The data is collected from the concerned department and annual reports of co-operative and financial statistic published by co-operative Ltd, various articles, bulletins and publication. Interaction is done with respective people of that co-operative Ltd. These how all the data are analyzed. 1.5 Limitation of Study Page 8 of 29

The main problem of the study is time, budget, availability of data and others. We have to complete the research report within the fixed time period. Research study is very difficult to find the fact things due to the some limitations of the study. It affects the financial position of the NRM. Inflation has badly destroyed firm B/S. It is also difficult to generalize about whether a particular ratio is good or bad. Advertising analysis can provide useful information concerning enterprises financial and operational conditions. There are some limitations of this study are as under: a. It ignores the qualitative factors. b. Ratio doesnt consider price level change c. It is based on secondary data. d. The fiscal year 2007/08 is assumed as base year. e. The data provided by the staff of NRM is assumed true and Data are round up in figures. f. The study is based mainly on secondary data so this study is not Free from the limitation of secondary data. g. This study is based on past year published financial report so the conclusion drawn by it may be misguide for future action. h. The data used in this study are modified as per need of the study. i. Only Limited financial tools i.e. ratios are used to analyze the financial statements.

1.6

Significance of the Theory: Before preparing fieldwork report we have to do various activities which are known as fieldwork procedure. They are as follows: Selection of field work subject Page 9 of 29

Selection of title Collection of data like annual report, income statements, auditors report and various books of different writers. After doing all these above-mentioned procedures, I went to NRC Duhabi, where I meet the managers of office. According to their suggestion and advice I took the annual reports of the department stores from which I got adequate data and information, which are very helpful for preparing my fieldwork report. For preparing this report I contact campus their, supervisors, lecturers and some friends and they gave me valuable information and suggestions.

It is the most powerful media for advertising. Falling TN

prices, especially for those made in china, have made it easily accessible in households. It brings family members together. (b) D. Others: They can be cinema and video tapes. They have a limited reach. Internet Media: It is a global network of computers. It is based on information communication technology. It needs telephone and computer. It is speedy. It has worldwide reach. Ecommerce is the outcome of internet revolution.

2.2

Media Selection An important part of the advertising job consists of deciding on the

best media for carrying the advertising message to the target market. The advertiser is trying to achieve a certain reach, frequency, impact & continuity with his advertising budget. He needs to know the target markets media habits and the qualities and costs of different media. The selection of the major media categories will be examined first and then the selection of specific media vehicles within these categories. The problem of scheduling the advertising will be examined in the next section. The extent to which the firm should use television, radio, newspaper, magazines, billboards, and other media depends on at least three factors. The target audiences media habits are the first factor to consider in media category selection. Taking an extreme case, a company producing toys for pre- scholar- and believing that the children rather than their parents should be reached would say away from newspaper, Page 13 of 29

magazines, and radio. The only medium that pre-scholars, and reaches them effectively, is television. The product is another important factor. The major media categories have different potentialities for demonstration, visualization, explanation, believability, and color. A product like Sony cameras is best advertised through live demonstration in the television medium. A product like dressed, where color might be important, is best advertised in a medium like magazines. The cost of the different media is a third factor. Television is a very expensive medium, whereas newspaper advertising is comparatively inexpensive. Yet what is ultimately important is not the absolute cost differences but audience size and composition in relation to these cost . 2.3 Selecting Specific Media Vehicles The first stage of analysis should result in a decision on how much to spend in each media category. The decision may be made, for e.g. to spend approximately Rs. 240000 out of a Rs. 1 million advertising budget on magazines. But which magazine ? And how many issues of each should be purchased ? At this point the media planner turns to several volumes put out by standard rate and data that provide cost, circulation, and other information on 100s. of magazines. The prices are given for different at sizes, color options, ad positions and quantities of insertions. Most magazines offer quantity discount varying with the number of purchased insertions for the year. 1. The cost per-thousand Criteria: Media planners try to calculate the cost thousand persons reached by the particular vehicle. If a full-page, four color advertisements in KANTIPUR cost Page 14 of 29

Rs. 50000 and Kantipurs estimated readership is 10 million persons, than the cost of reaching each 1000 person is Rs. 5. The same advertisement in BLAST TIMES may cost Rs. 15000 but reach only 2 million persons, at a cost per thousand of Rs 7.50. The media planner would rank the various magazines according to cost per thousand and place advertisement in those magazines with the lowest cost per thousand. 2. Computerized Media Selection: An increasing number of agencies are using a computer program to develop their advertising media plan. At least three different basic types of models are in use. I. Linear programming II. Heuristic programming III. Simulation model. 2.4 Size of the Advertising Budget Each year the firm must decide how much to spend on advertising. Four of the more common methods in use are described below. (a) Affordable Method: Many companies set the advertising budget on the basis of what they think the company can afford. As told by one advertising executive: Why its simple. First I go upstairs to the controller and ask how much they can afford to give us this year. He says a million and a half. Later, the boss comes to me and asks how much we should spend, and I say oh, about a million and a half. Then we have an advertising appropriation. (b) Percentage of sales Method: Many companies set their advertising expenditures at a specified percentage of sales or of the sales price. A rail road company executive said:

Page 15 of 29

We set our appropriation for each year on Dec. 1 of the preceding year. On that date we add our passenger revenue for the next month, and then take two percent of the total for our advertising appropriation for the New Year. (c) Competitive parity Method: Some companies set their advertising budgets specifically to match competitors outlays that is, to maintain competitive parity. This thinking is illustrated by the executive who asked a trade source: do u have any figures which other companies in the builders specialties field have used which would indicate what proportion of gross sales should be given over to advertising? Two arguments are advanced for this method. One is that competitors expenditures represent the collective wisdom of the industry. The other is that maintaining a competitive parity helps to prevent advertising wars. (d) Objective and task Method: The objective and task method calls upon advertising objectives as specifically as possible, determining the task that must be performed to achieve these objectives and estimating the costs of performing these tasks. The sum of these costs is the proposed advertising budget. The method has strong appeal and popularity. Among advertisers its major limitation is that it does not indicate how the objectives. They should be chosen and whether they are worth the cost of attaining them. 2.5 Decision models for setting advertising budgets In recent years various researchers have designed advanced decision models for setting the advertising budget. These models differ in the advertising to which they are addressed and the type and number of variables they include. We shall review four of the models here.

Models:

The

earliest

advertising

budgeting models attempted to measure the shape of advertising sales-response function. Given this function, the profit maximizing advertising outlay can be determined. As for the shape itself, the evidence is mixed. Many analysts hold that the sales/advertising curve is S-shaped. b. Communication stage Models: Communication stage advertising models arrive at an advertising budget by noting its affect on several intermediate variables that link advertising expenditures to ultimate sales. Ule developed an example to show how a manufacturer of a brand new filter-tip cigarette, BENSION & HEDGES (name fictious) could establish the necessary advertising budgets. The steps are as follows: 1. Establish the market share goal. 2. Determine the percent of the market that should be reached by Benison & Hedges advertising. 3. Determine the percent of aware smokers that should be persuaded to try the brand. 4. Determine the number of advertising impressions per one percent trial rate. 5. Determine the number of gross rating points that would have to be purchased. 6. Determine the necessary advertising budget on the basis of average cost of buying a gross rating point. C. Adaptive- control Models: Adaptive advertising budgeting models make the assumption that the parameters of the advertisings salesresponse function are not stable but change through time. If they were stable, it would pay the company to make a big effort to measure the functions as soon and as accurately as possible

Page 17 of 29

because the benefits in achieving optimization would extend far into the future. D. Competitive share Models: The preceding models do not explicitly take competitors expenditure into account. Competitive- share determination and interaction is a more dynamic phenomenon than the foregoing discussion suggests. Competitors may adopt a wait and see attitude towards the advertising spending level of the firm. If the firms sales increasing significantly, competitors may increase their own expenditures, cut prices, expand their sales force, and so on. Each type of reaction would have a different effect on market share. 2.6 Measuring advertising effectiveness Good planning and control of advertising depend critically on measures of advertising effectiveness. Yet the amount of fundamental research on advertising effectiveness is appallingly small. Most of the measurement of advertising effectiveness is of an applied nature, dealing with specific advertisements and campaigns. Of the applied part, most of money is spent by agencies in protesting the given advertisement or campaign before launching it into national circulation. Relatively less tends to be spent on post testing the effect of given advertisements and campaigns. The research techniques used to measure advertising effectiveness vary with what the advertiser is trying to accomplish. The behavioral change of ultimate interest to the advertiser is the act of purchase. One would expect to find that research on the sales effect of advertising predominates. Actually, sales effect research tend to be meager in comparison with communication effect research to determine the effect of given advertising on buyers knowledge, feelings and convictions. Many advertisers feel that the links between sales and advertising are too Page 18 of 29

tenuous, complicated and long term to permit measuring the direct impact. They feel instead that the more-short term communication effects of given advertisements should be measured. (a) Communication effect Research: Communication effect seeks to discover whether the advertising is achieving the intended communication effects. There are various ways to evaluate the communication effectiveness of , say an individual ad. Called copy testing, it can occur before an ad is put into actual media and after it has been printed or broadcast. The purpose of ad protesting is to make improvements in the advertising copy to the fullest extent possible prior to its release. There are three major methods of ad protesting: 1. Direct ratings. 2. Portfolio tests. 3. Laboratory tests. There are two popular ad post testing methods the purpose of which is to assess the actual communication impact of the ad after it has appeared in the media. They are as follows: 1. Recall tests. 2. Recognition tests. (b) Sales effect Research: Communication effect advertising

research undoubtedly helps advertisers improve the quality of message content and presentation, but it reveals very little about how much sales may be effected, it at all. The sales effect of the advertising will generally be more difficult to measures than the communication effect. Advertising Page 19 of 29

sales effectiveness is easiest to measures in mail-order situations and hardest to measure in brand or corporate- image building advertising. The media opted by NRM is clearly explained with the help of following table: TABLE -2.1 Statement showing allocation of budget on different advertisement media during past year In lakhs Year 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 Sources: Print Media Electronic Media 2.25 1.95 1.50 3.50 1.20 4.25 0.75 5.10 0.70 5.50 Annual report of Narayan Rice Mill Others 0.80 0.60 0.50 0.35 0.10 Total 5.00 5.60 5.95 6.20 6.30

The above table indicates the increase in absolute rupee amount spent by NRM in advertisement during the successive years. It also throws light the change in composition of the advertisement incurred towards different media. A scrutiny of the above table reveals a major shift in emphasis of NRM from predominantly print media to electronic media. The total advertisement expenditure of NRM has shown substantial increase by about 20% since year 2007-08. The expenditure incurred during this period on electronic media has increased by around 64% while expenditure incurred on print media has shown a massive decline by about 68%. This shows the growing importance of technology in the field of advertisement. Years 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 Advertisement exp. 5.00 5.60 5.95 6.20 Sales 115 145 170 180

The increase in advertisement expenditure is coupled with massive increase in sales over the successive year. This point is more substantiated during the year 2007-08, 2008-09 where a moderate increase in advertisement expenditure has resulted in a massive increase in sales. The increase in advertisement expenditure was about 20% from 2007-08 to 2011-12. On the other hand the increase in sales was by 70% during the corresponding period.

CHAPTER-3
Summary, Conclusion & Recommendation 3.1 Summary Advertising is the backbone for any business or organization. Today advertising has played vital role in promotion decision. Without advertising no any organization thinks about sustaining in the market.

Similarly we can say that success key for any organization is advertising. The passes of the time has brought absolute importance of advertising. Before print media has taken vital place in the form of advertisement. Today, due to the innovation of various technologies, electronic media has stepped forward. Page 23 of 29

So the management of the organization must be able to decide which media should be opted. For large scale organization electronic media will be suitable where as for small scale organization print media will be suitable. Therefore proper decision on the advertisement media helps in the success of the organization. Right media facilities organization for their success! Wrong decision about media results in decline of the success!

3.2

Conclusion: The data collected and its interpretation reveals that there is a

change in media from print to electronic which have facilitates NRM to increase their sales. Proper media decision has helped the organization in establishing their name in the market locally.

After taking into consideration, all the relevant factors from the study of advertising decision Narayan Rice Mill, it can be concluded that proper decision related to media has helped organization to increase its sales, and are able to satisfy its customer. The consumer with open arms has accepted the company policy of providing quality product at a reasonable price. The company has to ensure its continuous performance in proper manner. Page 24 of 29

3.3

Recommendation: should emphasize more on qualitative aspects of

1. NRM

advertisement rather than simply increasing the quantum of advertisement expenditure. 2. NRM should strive to achieve better market share to advertisement ratio by alerting the advertisement mix in a proper manner. 3. Since the most of the output of NRM is locally consumed, it should rely less on electronic media for the purpose of advertisement and try to search for new alternative such as hoarding boards, using pamplates and other locally penetrative techniques.
