Executive summary
Indian Consumer durables market used to be dominated by few
domestic players like Godrej Voltas Allwyn and Kelvinator. But
post liberalization many foreign companies have entered into
Indian market dethroning the Indian players and dominating
Indian market the major categories being CTV, REFRIGRATOR,
AIR CONDTIONERS and WASHING MACHINES. India being
the second largest growing economy with huge consumer class
has resulted in consumer durables as the fastest growing
industries in India. LG, SAMSUNG the two Korean companies
have been maintaining the lead in the market with LG being
leader in almost all the categories. The rural market is growing
faster than the urban market, although the penetration level is
much lower .The CTV segment is expected to the largest
contributing segment to the overall growth of the industry. The
rising income levels double-income families and consumer
awareness are the main growth drivers of the industries.
Consumer durables major LG Electronics India Pvt Ltd (LGEIL)
will invest nearly Rs 500 crore in India this year in research and
development, brand-building and other marketing initiatives. The
company, having a turnover of Rs 9,500 crore and market share of
26 percent, is investing Rs 360 crore on brand-building and other
marketing initiatives and around Rs 140 crore on research and
development, besides launching new platforms in information
technology and related areas, LG’s innovative ‘211 campaign’ to
provide quality after-sales service, will also be expanded from the
existing 22 to 40 cities by next month, the campaign, for which IT
infrastructure has been set up, includes the company’s response
to customer complaint within two hours. The fixing time for
complaints varies from one hour to a maximum of 24 hours.

Scope of project
This project gives us great exposure to the consumer durable
market because it includes product knowledge and field survey
job in which we visited the LG stores in Delhi. Incidentally Diwali
time was nearing during our survey period which exposed us to
another aspect of product promotion. LG always insist the 50%
display share of LG product because LG believes that “JO
DIKHTA HAI WO BIKTA HAI”.
While visiting the shops we
1. Calculated the display share of the LG product in every shop.

2. Collected the data of actual monthly sale of the LG products in
few shops.
3. Checked the availability of LG catalogue and the POPs in the
store.
4. Found out the problems that the dealer are facing while selling
the LG products.
5. Found out the customer response for LG products by asking
the owner of the shop.
6. Found out the distributor name from who they were
purchasing their products and also whether they have direct
dealership and which brand.
7. Checked whether demo calls are attended or not
7
Key findings:-
1. By calculating the display share we found that in most of store
LG has 50% displays share almost all categories.
2. By the actual monthly sale of particular store we came to know
the capacity of the store and how much product can they sell.
3. It helps us to know that weather dealer is capable of being a
direct dealer of LG or not and it also helps to find out the new
dealers who are capable of being an LG dealer.
4. We also came to know while visiting the shops that there was
big problem of after sales service.
5. Many dealers were facing the problem of after sale service
because there is no follow up calls from LG.
6. Demo calls also not done properly.
INTRODUCTION
8
Before the liberalization of the Indian economy, only a few
companies like Kelvinator, Godrej, Alwyn, and Voltas were the
major players in the consumer durables market, accounting for no
less than 90% of the market. Then, after the liberalization, foreign
players like LG, Sony, Samsung, Whirlpool, Daewoo, and Aiwa
came into the picture. Today, these players control the major
share of the consumer durables market. Consumer durables
market is expected to grow at 10-15% in 2007-2008. It is growing
very fast because of rise in living standards, easy access to
consumer finance, and wide range of choice, as many foreign
players are entering in the market with the increase in income
levels, easy availability of finance, increase in consumer
awareness, and introduction of new models, the demand for
consumer durables has increased significantly. Products like
washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, color
televisions (CTVs) are no longer considered luxury items.
However, there are still very few players in categories like
vacuum cleaners, and dishwashers Consumer durables sector is
characterized by the emergence of MNCs, exchange offers,
discounts, and intense competition. The market share of MNCs in
consumer durables sector is 65%. MNC's major target is the
growing middle class of India. MNCs offer superior technology to
the Consumers whereas the Indian companies compete on the
basis of firm grasp of the local market, their well-acknowledged
brands, and hold over wide distribution network. However, the
penetration level of the consumer durables is still low in India.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The Consumer Durables industry consists of durable goods
and appliances for domestic use such as televisions,
22
refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines.
Instruments such as cell phones and kitchen appliances like
microwave ovens were also included in this category. The sector
has been witnessing significant growth in recent years, helped by
several drivers such as the emerging retail boom, real estate and
housing demand, greater disposable income and an overall
increase in the level of affluence of a significant section of
the population. The industry is represented by major
international and local players such as BPL, Videocon, Voltas,
Blue Star, MIRC Electronics, Titan, Whirlpool, etc. The consumer
durables industry can be broadly classified into two
segments:
Consumer Appliances can be further categorized into Brown
Goods and White Goods. The key product lines under each
segment were as follows.
Industry Size, Growth, Trends

The consumer durables market in India was estimated to be
around US$ 5 billion in 2007-08. More than 7 million units of
consumer durable appliances have been sold in the year 2006-07
with color televisions (CTV) forming the bulk of the sales with
30 per cent share of volumes. CTV, refrigerators and Air-
conditioners together constitute more than 60 per cent of the sales
in terms of the number of units sold. In the refrigerators market,
the frost-free category has grown by 8.3 per cent while direct
cool segment has grown by 9 per cent. Companies like LG,
Whirlpool and Samsung have registered double-digit growth in
the direct cool refrigerator market. In the case of washing
machines, the semi-automatic category with a higher base and
fully-automatic categories have grown by 4 per cent to 526,000
units and by 8 per cent to 229,000 units, respectively. In the air-
conditioners segment, the sales of window ACs have grown by 32
23
per cent and that of split ACs by 97 per cent. Since the penetration
in the urban areas for these products is already quite high, the
markets for both C-TV and refrigerators were shifting to the
semi-urban and rural areas. The growth across product
categories in different segments is assessed in the following
sections.
Consumer Electronics
The CTV production was 15.10 million units in 2007-08 and is
expected to grow by at least 25 per cent. At the disaggregated
level, conventional CTV volumes have been falling while flat TVs
have grown strongly. Market sources indicate that most CTV
majors have phased out conventional TVs and have been instead
focusing more on flat TVs. The flat segment of CTVs now
account for over60 per cent of the total domestic TV
production and is likely to be around 65 per cent in 2007-
08.High-end products such as liquid crystal display (LCD)and
plasma display CTV grew by 400 per cent and 150 per Cent
respectively in 2009 –10 following a sharp decline in prices of
these products and this trend is expected to continue. The
audio/video player market has seen significant growth rates in
the domestic market as prices have dropped. This trend is
expected to continue through 2009- 2010, as competition is likely
to intensify to scale and capture the mass market.
Customized products for Indian Consumers
24
L G understands the local cultural sensibilities to customize its
products according to the Indian market. It has set up a usability
lab at the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi to
customize Samsung products to meet the specific needs of Indian
consumers. This industry-institute partnership is helping
Samsung to study and analyze consumer response in aspects of
product design, including aesthetics, ergonomics and interface.
Through its research done on consumer preferences in India,
Samsung has concluded that Indian consumers want more
sound oriented products. Thus, the Samsung televisions for
India have a higher sound capacity than their foreign
counterparts. For the semi-automatic segment of Samsung
washing machines, Samsung has introduced for the first time in
India a feature called Super Dry. It is present in three of
Samsung‘s semi
-automatic models and dries the clothes better than the rest.
Samsung washing machines have an additional menu that takes
care of the local best. They also have a =memory restart‘that takes
care of the frequent Indian warder -power failures in India.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
To find number of brands of consumer durable in Indore district,

to study brand preference of consumer for consumer durable
goods. To find most important parameter for selection of brand of
Color television, Refrigerators, Washing machine, DVD,
Microwave oven. To study profit margin of major brands in
consumer durable.
26
Research Methodology
Research methodology is considered as the nerve of the project.

Without a proper well-organized research plan, it is
impossible to complete the project and reach to any
conclusion. The project was based on the survey plan. The main
objective of survey was to collect appropriate data, which work as
a base for drawing conclusion and getting result, therefore
research methodology is the way to system ethically solve the
research problem. Research methodology not only talks of the
methods but also logic behind the methods used in the context of
a research study and it explains why a particular method has been
used in the preference of the other methods.
Research design
Research design is important primarily because of the

increased complexity in the market as well as marketing
approaches available to the researchers. In fact, it is the key to the
evolution of successful marketing strategies and programmers. It
is an important tool to study buyer‘s behavior, consumption
pattern, brand loyalty, and focus market changes. A research
design specifies the methods and procedures for conducting a
particular study. According to Ker linger, Research Design is a
plan, conceptual structure, and strategy of investigation conceived
as to obtain answers to research questions and to control variance.
Research design specifies methods and procedures for study. In
this study the company was interested to know the demand of
different consumer durable product, about competitors, and
potential for SAMSUNG procedures to be used for the study
among retailers/dealer and. However it was exclusively personal
interview.
27
Data Collection:
This report was prepared after collecting data from the retailers/
dealers and past data was arranged from the various studies
conducted in last few years and various other records of company.
Primary Data:
These data were collected by personal interview with retailers/

dealer. For this purpose questionnaires were prepared in such
that all necessary data would be collected.
Secondary Data:
Information regarding the project, secondary data was also

required. These data were collected from various past studies and
other sources of the company.

LIMITATION OF STUDY
Although I tried my best in preparation of this project, but

this study has some limitation:
30
1. The period of the project was not sufficient to study all the
factors in deep.
2. Visiting various places for the study consumed a lot of time.
3. We cannot say that what the consumer have revealed will be
right for each and every situation because their perception is
influenced by many factors.
4. Many consumer and dealers/retailers showed less interest in
providing information and haven‘t cooperated.
Theoretical Background of the study and Scope of market

research in view of modern global business.
Research methods provide you with the knowledge and skills
you need to solve the problems and meet the challenges of a
fast-paced decision-making environment. Business research
courses are recognition that students in business, not-for-
profit, and public organizations in all functional areas need
training in the scientific method and its application to decision
making. Two factors stimulate an interest in more scientific
decision making:
(1) the manager‘s increased need for more and better information
and
(2) The availability of improved techniques and tools to meet this
need.
During the last two decades, we have witnessed dramatic changes

in the business environment. Emerging from a historically
economic role, the business organization has evolved in response
to the social and political mandates of national public policy,
31
explosive technology growth, and continuing innovations in
global communications. These changes have created new
knowledge needs for the manager. Other knowledge demands
have arisen from problems with mergers, trade policies, protected
markets, technology transfers, and macroeconomic savings
investment issues.
The trend toward complexity has increased the risks

associated with business decisions, making it more important
to have a sound information base. Increased complexity means
there are more variables to consider. The competition is more
vigorous, with many business downsizing to make
competitive gains. Workers, shareholders, customers, and the
public are better informed and more sensitive to their self-interest.
Government continues to show concern with all aspects of society.
Each of these factors demands that managers have more and
better information upon which to base decisions.
To do well in such an environment, you will need to be

equipped with an understanding of scientific methods and a
means of incorporating them into decision making. You will need
to know how to identify good research and how to conduct it.
This book addresses these needs.
As the complexity of the business environment has increased,
there has been a commensurate, increase in the number and
power of the tools to conduct research.
There is vastly more knowledge in all fields of management. We

have begun to build better theories. The computer has given us a
quantum leap in the ability to deal with problems. New
techniques of quantitative analysis take advantage of this power.
Communication and measurement techniques have also been
32
enhanced. These trends reinforce each other and are having a
massive impact on business management.
Sources of collection of primary and secondary data for

market research.
Ta sources may be classified as either internal (organizational) or
external sources of information.
Internal Sources
Internal sources of organizational data are so varied that it is
difficult to provide generalizations about their use. Accounting
and management information systems create and store much
of the internal data. Research and development, planning and
marketing functions also contribute. Examples are departmental
reports, production summaries, financial and accounting reports,
and marketing and sales studies. The collection methods used
are unique to the specific situation, and collection success
depends on knowing just where and how to look. Sometimes the
information may exist in central files (i.e., at headquarters), in
computer database, or in departmental chronological files. In
other organizations, a central library keeps all relevant
information. Systematic searches should be made through
exploratory interviews with everyone who handles the
information. Often company librarians, IS, PR/communications,
or departmental secretaries can help in pinpointing critical data
sources. Internal data sources may be the only source of
information for many studies.
External Sources
External sources are created outside the organization and are more
varied than internal sources. There are also better defined methods for
finding them. This discussion is restricted to published sources, although
other sources of information may be useful.
33
Published sources of data can be classified into five categories.
The newest and fastest growing one is computerized database.
They are composed of interrelated data files. The files are sets
of records grouped together for storage on some medium.
Access may be through online search or CD-ROM. Online
databases are often specialized and focus on information about a
particular field. Major source of published information consists
of diverse materials from special collections. Within this
category there are many reference books, each a compendium
of a range of information. A second group includes university
publications, of which there are master‘s theses, doctoral
dissertations, and research records. A third group includes
company publications such as financial reports, company policy
statements, and speeches by prominent executives, sales
literature, product specifications, and many others. There are
miscellaneous information sources consisting of the productions
of various trades, professional and other associations. These
organizations often publish statistical compilation, research
report, and proceeding of meeting.

LG Pune is the branch office of LGEIL. It is located in J.M Road.

In 2004 LGEIL opened second factory which is located in
Ranjangaon. This plant manufactures all product including DVD
writers and GSM mobiles. Thus it became first company to
manufacture DVD writers in India. The ODP plant aims to reach
a manpower base of 1500 people and an investment of Rs 300
crore till 2010. LG India will become the export hub for LG
Worldwide, catering to the Middle East and African markets. The
company aims to touch an export turnover of $3 billion by 2010
from India, which will contribute to 30 per cent of the Indian
arm's turnover. , India, October 6, 2004 -- LGE announced 3
growth strategies aimed at the 1.1 billion people of India making
the Indian market the second largest global production base
66
following China. Under this strategy LGE has projected 2007
revenues in India will exceed US$10 billion, 10 times that of 2004.
The three strategies for the Indian market that the global
electronics giant disclosed included: penetrate the south-western
market of India through the new plant near Mumbai, the second
largest city in India, in addition to the existing northern plant;
installs a new GSM handset production line in the new plant and
use it as its second-largest global GSM handset production line
after the Qingdao plant in China; and expand the current 750
R&D staff in India to 1,500 by 2007, striving to develop premium
products and export 30% of India-manufactured products to Asia,
Middle East and Africa markets by 2007. LG Electronics’ second
new plant in Pune, India covers a total area of 211,200 square
meters and is currently equipped with a production line to
manufacture 600,000 TVs and one million refrigerators a year.
The company is set to add production lines of air conditioners,
washing machines, monitors, and electronic ovens, by 2005. Also,
LG Electronics is poised to install a GSM handset production line
in the new plant by early next year. The GSM handset line
envisages a capacity of manufacturing 2 million handsets
annually, and the company expands it to become a global GSM
handset production base with a capacity of an annual 10 million
units by 2010. In connection with its three growth strategies for
the Indian market, LG Electronics will invest a total of US$150
million in establishing facilities and boosting R&D efforts in India
by 2007. Specifically, it will invest US$53 million in the second
plant, another US$43 million in establishing the GSM line, and
US$54 million in securing R&D manpower and boosting other
efforts. Through these strategies, LG Electronics aims to penetrate
the global market by using China and India as its core production
bases, while operating its plants in Changwon and Gumi, Korea,
as its main production bases. This way, the company is pushing
to penetrate the global home appliance market. The present
67
capacity of the facility is of 1 lakh unit per year and it shall cater
to the need of the domestic markets. LG plans to upscale its
operations to a figure of 2.5 lakh units a year in the near future.
The plant in addition to its current manufacturing facility at
Greater Noida will enable the company to enhance its consumer
reach and reiterate it’s commitment towards providing superior
technology products to the India consumer. The key strategies
being implemented include increasing the number of its regional
offices from six to eight. LG has split its southern regional office
into two, one comprising the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala and
the other consisting of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. In
addition, it has split one of its northern regional offices by making
Uttar Pradesh a separate region after spinning it out from Delhi
NCR. The other four regional offices take care of East, Gujarat
and Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra & Goa and Punjab, Haryana
& Rajasthan respectively. In the coming year, LG is also
repositioning its marketing spends, resulting in a significant
increase in its mass media expenditure for better brand visibility.
LG had a marketing budget of Rs 320 crore in 2007 with a 60:40
split in favor of below-the-line activities. Next year, the company
plans to increase the share of mass media even as overall

products, services, and people, from the source of production to
the marketplace. It is difficult to accomplish any marketing or
manufacturing without logistical support. It involves the
integration of information, transportation, inventory,
warehousing, material handling, and packaging. The operating
responsibility of logistics is the geographical repositioning of raw
materials, work in process, and finished inventories where

CUSTOMER SERVICE:
The best and the biggest international brands are here in India –
but the irony if it all: where is the after-sales-service? So integral
to a brand, so critical for its success and so taken for granted in
developed markets! In India, after sales service is, for want of a
better description, the pits. So what’s stopping the best companies
from pulling out all the stops when it comes to providing the best
service? Do customers expect for too much? Or is it that in India
they don’t really care. Brand Equity fanned out to MNC as well as
Indian consumer durable companies, stockiest and dealers,
analysts and market researchers to get feel of what’s really
keeping after sales from being used as a cutting edge marketing
tool in pushing products across categories. Customers support
following the purchase of a product or service. In some cases,
after-sales service can be almost as important as the initial
purchase. The manufacturer, retailer, or service provider
determines what is included in any warranty (or guarantee)
package. This will include the duration of the warranty
traditionally one year from the date of purchase, but increasingly
two or more year’s maintenance and/or replacement policy,
items included/excluded, labor costs, and speed of response. In
the case of a service provider, after-sales service might include
additional training or helpdesk availability. Of equal importance
73
is the customer's perception of the degree of willingness with
which a supplier deals with a question or complaint, speed of
response, and action taken.
LG also had a big problem of after sale service in India. During

the project we also came to know that after sale service becomes
the big issue in the region. Customers as well as dealer were
facing the problem of after sales service. Because of this problem
many dealer in the region were not ready to sell LG product. So it
becomes the big issue. But LG has taken some solid steps towards
improving customer’s perception and experience of after sales
service. Because it very important in competitive market to
provide the best service. L G Electronics has signed a
memorandum of understanding with 23 Industrial Training
Institutes to strengthen its after sales service in India. The
company aims to recruit 10,000 people by the end of this year as a
part of its branding strategy to focus on service and move away
from discounting. L G Electronics has identified eight states with
high after sales service call rates to ink the deals with the ITI. Y.V
Verma, director HR and management system, LG Electronics
said, "The Company was trying to find a solution for effective
after sales service since last two years. There is a huge need of
trained manpower for the after sales service to align with the
company's expansion and focus on the GSM mobiles and the
personal computer segments."
1. In the initial phase the company has entered into agreements

with ITIs in the states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Punjab,
Assam, and Karnataka and is in the last leg of signing with Uttar
Pradesh.
74
2. L G Electronics, with 1200 service centers, has already recruited
300 students and plans to beef up the number to 10,000 by the
year-end.
3. "The company has offered a scholarship to the selected students
for the last six months of their training program,"
4. The company will invest Rs 8 crore (Rs 80 million) in employee
development program this year with an aim to attain a 8 per cent
attrition rate.
5. The company moved away from the discounting strategy since
last year and is putting thrust on the quality and service in its
brand communication to position LG as a premium consumer
electronics brand.
6. At the top, the Service Division in Korea reports to the Global
CMO. This shows commitment that Service must be made into a
marketing differentiator, and leveraged thus.
7. LG has the widest service network across the country; some
estimates put it at a significant multiple of service-infrastructure
from our nearest competitor. While the sale size may also be a
nice multiple from nearest, it shows the company is ready to put
our money where our mouth is.
8. The company has introduced a 211 service - once you register
your complaint, we will call you back in 2 hours (hence 2), set up
an appointment for the next convenient day for you (hence the
first 1), and show up in the promised 1-hour slot (hence the
second 1). It’s a disruptive action in an industry (including LG)
having traditionally shied away from its service responsibilities,
and thus not leveraging any mileage from it.
9. The company is promoting 211 through ATL, probably the first
time after sales service is being communicated in this fashion by
any product company. You may have seen the TV commercial or
heard the radio advert or seen the newspaper ad or in-shop
posters, both of which revolve around prompt response.
75
10.The first LG-owned service centre opened in Gurgaon. (Service
in India generally works through authorized service centers, in
LG’s case they work exclusively for LG.) A company-owned
service centre tries that much harder, knows things better, and
can even contribute as a revenue center.
Objective of the project
Primary objective
The main objective of filed survey during the project was to find
out the market share of the LG and also calculate the display
share.
 Find out the positional dealer who can sale the LG product in
large volume.
The main objective of research was to identify potential dealer
and development these dealer. So LG can make them their direct
dealer.
This will ease the dependence on the some big dealer like
Maharashtra and Mahaveer electronics.
 Find out the problem faced by the dealer in sales and the
distribution.
Secondary objective

To enhances the knowledge of consumer durable market.
To increases the knowledge consumer durable product of LG.
76
To enhances the knowledge about the marketing and branding
activity.
Research Methodology:
Research methodology is considered as the nerve of the project.
Without a proper well-organized research plan, it is impossible to
complete the project and reach to any conclusion. The project was
based on the survey plan. The main objective of survey was to
collect appropriate data, which work as a base for drawing
conclusion and getting result.
Therefore, research methodology is the way to systematically
solve the research problem. Research methodology not only talks
of the methods but also logic behind the methods used in the
context of a research study and it explains why a particular
method has been used in the preference of the other methods
Research design
Research design is important primarily because of the increased

complexity in the market as well as marketing approaches
available to the researchers. In fact, it is the key to the evolution of
successful marketing strategies and programmers. It is an
important tool to study buyer’s behavior, consumption pattern,
brand loyalty, and focus market changes. A research design
specifies the methods and procedures for conducting a particular
study. According to Ker linger, “Research Design is a plan,
conceptual structure, and strategy of investigation conceived as to
obtain answers to research questions and to control variance.
77
Type of research is Descriptive Research
The type of research adopted for study is descriptive. Descriptive
studies are undertaken in many circumstances when the
researches is interested to know the characteristic of certain group
such as age, sex, education level, occupation or income. A
descriptive study may be necessary in cases when a researcher is
interested in knowing the proportion of people in a given
population who have in particular manner, making projections of
a certain thing, or determining the relationship between two or
more variables. The objective of such study is to answer the “who,
what, when, where and how” of the subject under investigation.
There is a general feeling that descriptive studies are factual and
very simple. This is not necessarily true. Descriptive study can be
complex, demanding a high degree of scientific skill on part of the
researcher.
Descriptive studies are well structured. An exploratory study
needs to be flexible in its approach, but a descriptive study in
contrast tends to be rigid and its approach cannot be changed
every now and then. It is therefore necessary, the researcher give
sufficient thought to framing research.
Decide the types of data to be collected and the procedure to be
used in this research. Descriptive studies can be divided into two
broad categories: Cross Sectional and Longitudinal Sectional. A
cross sectional study is concerned with a sample of elements from
a given population. Thus, it may deal with household, dealers,
retail stores, or other entities. Data on a number of characteristics
from sample elements are collected and analyzed. Cross sectional
studies are of two types: Field study and Survey. Although the
distinction between them is not clear- cut, there are some practical
differences, which need different techniques and skills. Field
studies are ex-post-factor scientific inquiries that aim at finding
the relations and interrelations among variables in a real setting.
78
Such studies are done in live situations like communities, schools,
factories, and organizations.
Another type of cross sectional study is survey result, which has
been taken by me. A major strength of survey research is its wide
scope. Detail information can be obtained from a sample of large
population .Besides; it is economical as more information can be
collected per unit of cost. In addition, it is obvious that a sample
survey needs less time than a census inquiry. Descriptive research
includes survey and fact finding enquiries of different kinds of
the major purpose. Descriptive research is description of the state
of affairs, as it exists at present. The main characteristic of this
method is that the researcher has no control over the variables; he
can only report what has happened or what is happening. The
methods of research utilized in descriptive research are survey
methods of all kinds including comparative and co relational
methods. The reason for using such needs to be flexible in its
approach, but a descriptive study
BRANCH
1 2 3 in contrast tends to be rigid and its approach cannot be
changed every now and then.
DEALER MANAGEMENT: Mapping of regional dealers.

They have been divided into three categories on the basis of their
turnover and the selling capacity.
 -1
 -2
 -3
-1 Includes the modern trade and they have direct billing from
the branch office. They have high turnover and the company
79
depends heavily on them-2 includes the distributors. They have
direct billing from the branch office. Their turnover is also high.
-3 Includes the sub dealers .They have direct billing from
distributors or from the branch office. Their turnover is not so
high, but there are few sub dealers whose potential is quite high.
According to sales the branch has designated as gold and silver
sub dealers.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objective was to find out the market share of LG products,
advantages and disadvantages of LG products from dealers and
to find out what problems they are facing with the LG products
so that problems can be resolved to increase the sale.
Data collection methods:
After the research problem, we have to identify and select which

type of data is to research. At this stage; we have to organize a
field survey to collect the data.
One of the important tools for conducting market research is the
availability of necessary and useful data.
Primary data: For primary data collection, we have to plan the
following four important aspects.
 Sampling
 Research Instrument
 Secondary Data - The Company’s profile, journals and various
literature studies are important sources of secondary data.
 Data analysis and interpretation
1. Questionnaires
2. Pie chart and Bar chart
Questionnaires:
This is the most popular tool for the data collection. A
questionnaire contains question that the researcher wishes to ask
80
his respondents which is always guided by the objective of the
survey.
Pie chart:
This is very useful diagram to represent data, which are divided
into a number of categories. This diagram consists of a circle of
divided into a number of sectors, which are proportional to the
values they represent. The total value is represented by the full
create. The diagram bar chart can make comparison among the
various components or between a part of data and a whole of
data.
Bar chart:
This is another way of representing data graphically. As the name
implies, it consist of a number of whispered bar, which originate
from a common base line and are equal widths. The lengths of the
bards are proportional to the value they represent.
Preparation of report:
The report was based on the analysis and presented with the
findings and suggestions. The sample of the questionnaires is
attached with the report itself.
Sampling Methodology:
Details of the sampling methodology, I have made questionnaire.
The one is made for the Customer.
No. of questions in questionnaires for customer: 07
No. of question related to LG product: 03
No. of people met during the research: 200

the
capacity of the store and how much product can they sale.
3. It helps us to know that weather dealer is capable of being a
direct dealer
of LG or not and it also helps to find out the new dealer who are
capable
of being the dealer of LG.
4. We also came to know while visiting the shops that there was
big problem
of after sale service.
5. Many dealers were facing the problem of after sale service
because there
is no follow up calls from LG.
7. The top competitor of LG product in is SAMSUNG.

shopkeeper also plays a vital role for customer.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS:
1. LG should improve it’s after sale service because its hits badly
LGs market share in region.
2. More detailed customaries service is to be provided.
3. The training to in shop demonstration should be given at
frequent time interval and feed back should be considered
positively.
4. The company should look into the matter of person hiring for
in shop demonstration. A big LG showroom should have at least
2 such kind of person.
5. LG should try new dealer who have the potential. So they can
target more market.
6. As there is a bottle neck competition between Samsung and LG,
it is necessary to take measure steps to overcome the area of
downfall in LG with respect to Samsung.
7. The marketing managers should make better relations with
dealers and reputation of the company.

company should give more stress on this.

due to the bed after sell service in shop.
10.The product is well aware and it is on top of mind of customer.
So company should always improve services and update their

technology.
86
CUSTOMER SURVEY FINDINGS
1. Secondary supports play an important role in the customers
mind and create awareness among the customers. The secondary
support includes Demonstration, Exhibition & Even Sponsors.
2. From the survey it was found out that the majority of
customers don’t buy consumer durables from exhibitions. They
just visit the exhibitions to see the co. latest model.
3. They want to buy from the showrooms or from co. showrooms.
For them service is important .Beside convenience and other
factors service is key factor.
4. Also majority of customers do not want any financing scheme
for purchasing the durables.
5. There was heavy rush on weekends so large numbers of ISD’s
were appointed that day. Also the live demo calls helps in selling.
Exchange offers also generate sale.
6. Customers are also now very choosy in buying the product and
it is important for the company to make loyal customer of their
brand.
7. In survey we found that LG has captured maximum market
share in every category. LG dominates CTV, LCD, and
Refrigerator, and Washing machine, category.
8. LG and Samsung have bottle neck competition in TV and REF.
category.
9. The product is well aware and it is on top of mind of customer.
10.Customers are also now very choosy in buying the product
and it is important for the company to make loyal customer of
their brand.
87
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
1. Exhibitions do not help to generate so much sells but they
should be conducted regularly. This helps in generating
awareness regarding the product in customers which ultimately
helps in sales.
2. Also it is helps in advertising for the new products. Like in this
exhibition new LCD SCARLET was advertised. Company should
always focus on service.
3. Display share should be increased where there is less than 50%
as LG also believes that “JO DIKHTA HAI WO BIKTA HAI”.
4. Company should try to improve service. No doubt the
company products have technically edge over competitors but in
long run it may hamper the company’s profit.
5. Company should concentrate more on its major drivers LCD,
IT, and GSM. Branding and promotions should be done
effectively as it creates a long lasting image in the mind of
customers.
6. Company should also cater to the needs of sub dealers as some
of the sub dealers have potential of high sales.
88
LIMITATIONS
Every study has certain limitations. In our study, also there were
certain limitations, which I could not able to solve.
1. The research was conducted in a very small area.
2. Our research work period witness the biggest ups and downs
in product sale of different brands, which affected the perception
of the customer.
This was biggest drawback of my study.
3. Time factor was also important for us. We had limited time for
the research, for which a full-fledged report was insufficient for
me.
4. The customer filled the questionnaire mostly in careless
manner, so it was difficult to make them hold for time.
5. We had only found the upper-middle class family to fill up the
questionnaire, but generally, an average middle class family was
required for the study.
6. The sample size is also very small which represent my research
on consumer behavior
