VI. RECOMMENDATIONS
It is highly recommended to the business unit that single
spray dispensing mechanism is the most appealing
packaging elements for consumer while purchasing
deodorants. In Indian deodorant market, there are only few
deodorants with single spray dispensing mechanism thus
company can develop such product to increase the market
share.
It is also recommended that marketer should give more
focus on variant of the deodorant while developing
deodorant as it is the most checked labeling information by
consumers while purchasing deodorant.
