BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Today it is fashionable to talk about the new economy. We hear that the business are
operating in globalized economy; things are moving at a second pace our market is
characterized by hyper competition and disruptive technologies are challenging every
business and so business must adopt to empower consumer.

To become successful in such a competitive environment the business organizations have


to be customer oriented. Customers need and want must be taken care of. " Built customer
and not only products Customer must be delighted. This information about the market
could be collected by the way of proper market survey. Rom the market survey we get the
feed about the goods or services of the organization, for this purpose the said project work
is under taken.

The project was carried out in the market of Bhubaneswar of Odisha state.
There are six market players in cement industry including SOLID HD+. They are Dalmia,
Nuvoco, Ultratech, ACC, Ramco, apart from these there are few local brands selling in the
market. The information about the market was gathered by visiting retailers in the market.
Interview of retailers taken depending upon the re-accessibility.

While doing the project attempt was made to collect maximum information about the
marker. To get actual and correct information, it was not told retailers that the survey is
conducted by SOLID HD+ Cement for the obvious reasons. Number of retailers were
visited to get the actual picture of the market. Again, the retailers of each grade (according
to the performance) were visited, to get each and every detail about the market.

Most of the time was spent in travelling for one retailer were reluctant to give the
information, as they do not want to disclose their business details. Visits to such retailers
were loss of time, money and energy.

After collecting the derailed information about market analysis is done. In the
analysis, the observations recorded during the project were carefully analysed and the
results are prepared. The findings and result of the project work are given at the later stage
in the report Marketing is a communication process that has the purpose of
individuals or groups - that are directly or indirectly able to purchase - aware of products
and services that may satisfy their existing or newly-identified needs and wants.

Therefore, companies instead of using complaints level as measure of dealer's satisfaction,


obtaining a direct measure of dealer satisfaction of conducting periodic survey would
provide more appropriate measures. The questionnaire can be made to a random sample of
their recent customers. To find out how they fell about various aspects of the company's
performance. They can also solicit dealers view on the competitor's performance.

The respondents can be asked to list out problems they have, had with the offer and to list
out improvements they could suggest companies would also ask the respondents to rate
various elements of the offer in terms of the importance of each element and how well the
company has performed.

Exclusive dealers needed to bring dealers satisfaction. Many dealers like to


develop exclusive channels for their products. The strategy in which the producer allows
only certain concepts to carry its products is called exclusive design when the producer
requires that these dealers should not handle expeditor products its strategy is called
exclusive dealing, both parties benefits from exclusive arrangements.

Cement industry is one of the major industries in India. Today there are 2 large
cement plants and more than 4 mini cement plants operating in India, producing cement
under different brands and grades. Though most of the companies are restricted to
surrounding states, some spread throughout India. A local market to a city, a district, or a
state is composed of a variety of brands leaving to the customer a wide range of choice.

'In the market, the movement of cement largely depends on the dealer's
promotion, constructor or contractor's awareness and advice to the customer and to an
extent on the awareness of the customer. Dealer is one of the key persons who can affect
the movement of a particular brand of cement.

Maha Cement PPC

Maha Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) is premium blended cement


manufactured by inter-grinding the high-quality clinker with superfine processed fly ash.
The clinker used here is specially made with high percentage of Tricalcium Silicate C3S
(58-60%). Only high-quality fly ash from select chambers of Electrostatic Precipitators
(ESPs) are extracted and transported in closed bulkers is used to manufacture Maha
Cement. Clinker and fly ash with desired proportion of gypsum is inter-ground in high
efficiency closed circuit ball Mills. The "O-Sepa" and SKS separators used in the mills
enable us to maintain high fineness (about 350 m2/kg) and good particle size distribution
(PSD). Maha Cement thus manufactured surpasses the compressive strength requirement
of OPC 53 grade at 3, 7 and 28 days while enabling you to get excellent durability in
concrete.

Maha Cement PSC

Maha Portland Slag Cement (PSC), conforming to the IS 455-1989, is


manufactured from high quality clinker and superior quality granulated blast furnace slag.
The slag used contains more than 95% glass content the most desired parameter to
manufacture PSC. The unique feature of our Grinding Units used for manufacturing this
cement is the Vertical Roller Mills (VRM) the most modern technology imported from
Germany. The clinker and slag are separately ground to reach high fineness level and then
blended in a high efficiency mechanical blender. This has not only enabled us to achieve
high fineness (Blaine 3700+ cm2/g) in our Maha Cement but also steep particle size
distribution (PDS) which helps Maha Cement achieve high early strength and excellent
durability properties in concrete.

Maha Cement is best for all types of constructions. It is especially


recommended in regions where the structure is exposed to harsh environmental condition.

Wholesaler

A wholesaler 'buys goods in large quantities from their manufacturers or


importers, and then sells smaller quantities to retailers, who in turn sell to the
general public.

Retailer

A retailer buys goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers


or importers, either directly or through a wholesaler, and then sells individual
items or small quantities to the general public or end user customers, usually in a
shop, also called store. Retailers are at the end of the supply chain.

A brand is a name or trademark connected with a product or producer.


Brands have become increasingly important components of culture and the
economy, now being described as "cultural accessories and personal philosophies.
A product identity, or brand image are typically the attributes one associates with a
brand, how the brand owner wants the consumer to perceive the brand - and by
extension the branded company, organization, product or service. The brand owner
will seek to bridge the gap between the brand image and the brand identity.
Effective brand names build a connection between the brand personalities as it is
perceived by the target audience and the actual product/service. The brand name
should be conceptually on target with the product/service (what the company
stands for). Furthermore, the brand name should be on target with the brand
demographic. Typically, sustainable brand are easy to remember, transcend trends
and have positive connotations. Brand identity is fundamental to consumer
recognition and symbolizes the brand's differentiation from competitors. Brand
Image is not something you have or you don't! A brand is unlikely to have one
brand image, but several, though one or two may predominate. The key in brand
research is to identify or develop the most powerful images and them through
subsequent brand communications. The term "brand image" gained popularity as

Page | 29

Downloaded by Subham Kanungo (subhamkanungo24@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|35046932

evidence began to grow that the feelings and images associated with a brand were
powerful purchase influencers, though recognition, recall and brand identity. It is
based on the proposition that consumers buy not only a product (commodity), but
also the image associations of the product, such as power, wealth, sophistication,
and most importantly identification and association with other users of the brand.
In a consumer led world, people tend to define themselves and their Jungian
“persona" by their possessions. According to Sigmund Freud, the ego and
superego control to a large extent the image and personality that people would like
others to have of them.

Good brand images are instantly evoked, are positive, and are almost
always unique among competitive brands.

Brand image can be reinforced by brand communications such as


packaging, advertising, promotion, customer service, word-of-mouth and other
aspects of the brand experience.

Brand images are usually evoked by asking consumers the first


words/images that come to their mind when a certain brand is mentioned
(sometimes called ‘‘top of mind’’). When responses are highly variable, non-
forthcoming, or refer to non-image attributes such as cost, it is an indicator of a
weak brand image.

Definition

Individual or firm that buys goods from a producer or distributor for


wholesale and/or retail reselling, unlike a distributor, a dealer is a principal and not
an agent.

The dealer came in to existence when communications were difficult


with consumers and it is found necessary to have a point of distribution. The
dealers help the manufactures by formulating the policy of manufacturers

lOMoARcPSD|35046932

according to the demand and assist them in securing the markets for their goods.
The dealers are also relieving the manufactures from the necessity of having sales
organizations. The manufactures are not put to the task of collecting and securing
orders and the numbers of accounts they have to open are smaller compared to
dealing directly with the consumer.

Dealer generally enters in to forward contracts for supply of goods with


the results the manufactures do not accumulate heavy stocks. The dealers are
being close touch with consumers so they are in position to advice the
manufacturer by giving proper feedback about the customer's requirements. The
dealer occupies a very important specialized position. He not only assists to the
manufacture that also acts as the link in the chain of distribution between the
manufacturer and consumers for which purpose the dealer maintain efficient and
comprehensive organization. The dealer can assess the public demand and see
that marketable goods or manufacturer thus protecting the manufacture from
wasteful and indiscriminate production as well as the consumer against goods
which are neither satisfaction nor dissatisfaction of good value.

RETAILER'S RELATION

Large manufacturers depend on dealer to sell their products, therefore


good relations are most important to them, every manufactures thus wants to
motivate his distribution channel to sell more of his own products. Here the
manufacturer must realize that dealers are themselves business men and must be
viewed as customers and human beings rather than mechanical entities for 昀氀ow of
his products.

The retailer interested in maximizing their profits thus good dealer


relations can be promoted if the manner is fair to his dealers in his behaviour for
example- salesmen of some manufactures dump products on dealers through
aggressive selling. Thereafter, the dealer finds stocks are laying at heavy on his

hands and he cannot sell those products by adequately. Advertising products in the
area concern the manufacturer should provide his dealers with promotional
literature; he should correspond them as frequently as necessary to show that the
manufacturer is there to help the dealers to sell all and thus makes profit for them.
He may offer adequate trade discount, provided display facilitate and even arrange
contests among the dealers to motivate them towards better results. The
manufacture should realize that the company dealers are more important assets. If
they are assisted with promotional help. They will appreciate effort and would be
more in demand to support the company campaigns in advertising.
