PREFACE MBA is stepping stone to management career. In order to achieve practical, positive and concrete results, the classroom learning need to be effectively fed to the realities of the situation existing outside the classroom. This is practical true for manage. To develop healthy managerial and administrative skills in the potential managers it is necessary that theoretical knowledge must be supplemented with exposure of real environment. Actually it is very vital for the management and it is in the practical training that the measuring of management is itself realized. I took summer training in well-managed organization and was fortunate to get a good exposure. In this project report an attempt has been made to cover different aspects of my training.

INTRODUCTION
In the mundane sense, the advertisement effect of fast moving consumer goods is the most pertinent. The ads of like toiletries and the other items of daily use are most projected ads. The major corporate giants like Hindustan lever ltd, dabur India ltd. Hygiene & healthcare ltd coke & Pepsi etc. are the major player in the market. The ads are presented so that with their impact the consumer are inclined to buy the product. Ads by business firms are use to achieve its communication objectives with a target group. The phase impact of ads and ad effectiveness are synonymous. Now what is ad effectiveness? Effectiveness of ad cannot be measured with a mathematical or empirical formula. Ads alone cannot sell the product. There are many other factors- product quality, price, packaging, product characteristics, easy availability etc. which contribute toward the sale of the product. Consumers decision to purchase the product is influenced by its ads. so ads are projected in such a way that it makes the attitude of the people favorable toward the product . So the selection of media, ad script, copy test are done by the producer very carefully and effectively . Protesting ads is done through various ways. Paired comparison Portfolio test Trailer test etc After all such things ads come in it fore, how if effect the decision and how much the decision are effected are judged after that. Tests are made by the ad producer to know its real effects. These tests are:

Penetration test Error-in-recognition measurement Triple association test etc. Other way to judge ad effectiveness is through questionnaire survey. Ad stimuli come in consumer mind and how consumer react to it depends upon consumer black box. consumer decision to purchase is shaped by culture, sub culture , social group , reference group , family , age , life cycle stage , occupation , learning , life style , economic condition etc . These effects are studied concentrating on: Toothpaste Shampoo The study gives the knowledge about the fast moving consumer good industry, major player in Indian market and budget effect on FMCGs.

FAST MOVING CONSUMER GOODS INDUSTRY

The FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) Industry comprises of goods, which are mass use goods directly consumable, packaged and branded having significant demand in low to middle income strata and above all highly price sensitive.

Fast-Moving-Consumer-Goods, commonly referred to as FMCG's, are all those products that are on the shelf one minute and gone the next. They are the types of products which the regular consumer, like you or I, encounter on a daily basis. In the morning you clean your teeth with toothpaste, you wash down you breakfast with orange juice, and you race out the door grabbing your copy of the daily newspaper. . . . You get the idea? There really are an infinite number of FMCG's in today's market place, and if you blink for too long you will miss the launch of another one (or a whole new range). Essentially, they are the types of products found in retail outlets such as New World Supermarkets, the rapidly sprouting Star-Mart convenience stores, and the corner dairy. The FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) industry comprises of goods, which are mass use goods directly consumable, packaged and branded having significant demand in low to middle income strata and above all highly price sensitive.

The FMCG Industry in India is the third largest Industry after Textiles and Petroleum with a turnover of over Rs. 86,000 cores. Its participant profile is 8

extensive and includes food and related products such as tea, salt, tobacco, oils, fats and processed foods, personal care products such as soaps, detergents, hair oils, and toiletries and dental products. Other goods include batteries, sanitary napkins, shoe polish, insecticides and liquor. The Industry contributes to the exchequer by way of Income Tax and Central Excise to the extent of 9% and 16% respectively of the total collection. It provides large employment both, direct and indirect and in terms of the 1994 data, it provided 6% of the total 9.1 million. It directly provides employment with a multiplier of 5.5. Each manufacturing employee supports 7 people downstream. The Industry has a significant rural bias and accounts for 56% of the total rural demand. Expenditure on consumer durables like washing machines, refrigerators, and color televisions has shown an impressive growth during the 1990's. In 199394 households owned 586 million durable goods, which increased to 705 million by the year 1995-96, Le. a rise of about 20.3 percent in two years. Even allowing for increase in population, the average ownership per household went up from 3.72 percent in 199394 to 4.27 percent in 1995-96. The rural share of the market for durable goods has been growing steadily over the last few years, from 54.24% in 1989-90 to 56.6% in 199293 and to 57.9% in 1995-96. This share went up to 59.3% in 1997-98. For some products, like bicycles, mechanical wristwatches and radios, the rural share was in excess of 75%. In 1989-90 only 6 products had a share of over 50%, in 1995-96, this jumped to 10 products. During 1997-98, there were 11 products having more than 50% of its market in rural areas. 9

Rural areas where nearly 70 percent of Indians live , have witnessed rapid market growth in recent times , driven largely by agricultural growth , income distribution , and inroads made by audio-visual media. The rural share of the market for durables goods has grown steadily over the last few years , from 54.2 percent in 1980-90 to 57.9 percent in 1995-1996 , while for a large variety of items such as bicycles , mechanical wrist watches , radio/transistors etc., the share of the rural market was in excess of 75 per. products Sales in rural markets(in percent ) Radio/transistor 75.2 Bicycle 78.08 Mechanical watches 76.59 Sewing machine 64.34 Table fans 61.89 Quartz watches 54.00 Black & white TVs 62.65 Cassette recorder 55.03 Motorcycles 47.87 Pressure cookers 51.51 Ceiling fans 50.36 Electric iron 43.85 Tooth paste 39.98 Talcum powder 45.25 The economic liberalization has given enormous opportunities it the fast moving consumer goods than any other segment. the increased penetration of several brands to the rural India has given a greater scope to the fast moving consumer good companies.

THE CURRENT INDUSTRY POSITION OF FMCG INDUSTRY

The fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry is poised to achieve an overall growth between 8%-8.5% in 2005-06, up 2-2.5% over the growth rate clocked in the previous year. This optimistic prognosis is revealed by the Survey on the FMCG sector carried out by Focis research division. 11

The survey released by FICCI president Onkar S Kanwar reveals that personal care products continue to ride high with excellent (20% plus) to high growth (10%-20%) rates in 12 products. The FICCI survey based on feedback from large FMCG companies and associations, shows that the sectors which are projected to achieve excellent growth of 20% and above in 2005-06 are deodorants (40%), hair dyes (30%), shaving cream, cleaners/repellents (22%) and anti-dandruff shampoos (20%). The excellent-growth achievers are thus set to improve their growth rates this year compared to their performance in 2004-05. In that year the growth rates were deodorant (40%), hair dyes (26%), shaving cream (21%), cleaners/repellents (22%), anti-dandruff shampoos (20%). The survey shows that in 2005-06, the sectors that are projected to achieve high growth between 10%-20% are: soap & toiletries (14 %), toilet soap (14%), tooth paste (10 %), personal health care (12%), oral care (12%), skin care & cosmetics (11%), skin/ fairness cream (12%), branded coconut oil (18 %), feminine hygiene (12%), and dish wash (10 %). In comparative terms, in the previous year, the sectors that have recorded high growth between 10%-20% are: personal health care (10%), oral care (10%), skin care & cosmetics (10%), branded coconut oil (15 %), shampoos (16 %), feminine hygiene (10%). The 2005-06 projections of some sectors that are set to record moderate and single digit growth are: washing powder (8.5 %), detergent cakes (7 %), liquid detergent (8.5%), laundry soaps/ bars (3 %), personal wash (7 %), tooth powder (5 %), tooth brush (5 %), coconut oil (6.5 %). In 2004-05, the comparable growth rates were: soap & toiletries (6.5 %), washing powder (8 %), detergent cakes (7 %), liquid detergent (8 %), laundry soaps/ bars (2 %), dish wash (8.5 %) personal wash (6 %), toilet soap (6 %), tooth paste (4.5 %), tooth powder (2 %), tooth brush (5 %), skin/ fairness cream (7.5%), coconut oil (5.5 %), feminine hygiene (10 %). 12

The survey notes that growth in urban markets has been much faster at about 7% and there has been revival in rural markets, though at a relatively slower rate of about 4 %. Higher growth rates in the companies like Dabur, Marico, Parle, Johnson & Johnson, Godrej Consumer, Procter & Gamble, Gillette and others have been achieved by innovation and well-planned distribution strategies adopted by the companies.Innovation and launching of new brands are being adopted by the companies to grab the market. For example, Godrej Consumer Products is focusing on product innovations and extensive advertising campaigns to popularize its soap brands.

MAJOR PLAYERS IN FAST MOVING CONSUMER GOOD MARKET

HINDUSTAN LIVER LTD. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


Hindustan Lever Limited, 51.6% subsidiary of Unilever Plc, is the largest FMCG Company in the country, with a turnover of Rs. 114bn. The company's business sprawls from personal and household care products to foods, beverages, specialty chemicals and animal feeds. The company has a dominating market share in most categories that it operates in such at toilet soaps, detergent, skincare, hair care, color cosmetics, etc. It is also the leading player in food products such as branded packaged tea, coffee, ice cream and other culinary products.

HLL grew at a fast pace in the mid 90's driven by its aggressive acquisition spree. From a Rs. 38bn turnover (contributed 70% by soaps, detergents and personal products), HLL's turnover has now grown to Rs. 114bn, with personal products contributing to 56% to turnover and beverages and food products contributing to 36% to turnover. While growth during the last five years was being driven by fast growing personal products business, the pace has slackened significantly since 2005. In F12/00, soaps business de-grew by 3%, detergents grew by 8%, while other personal products (household care, oral acre, skin care, hair care, color cosmetics0 grew by only 4%. Expansion of the foods business, which has been identified as a major growth area, has not been as fast as anticipated. beverage sales move largely with commodity price trends, which have not been too 14

encouraging. Branded tea business grew by 5% in F12/00 while the ice-cream business has failed to takeoff registering a 4.3% degrwoth. The Rs. 2.7bn staple food business grew by 23.6% on the small base. The fast moving consumer goods business is characterized by two pillars strong brand equity and a wide distribution network. Brand equities are built over a period of time by technological innovations, consistent high quality, aggressive advertisement and marketing. Availability near the consumer through a wide distribution network is another crucial success factor, as products are of small value, frequently purchased, daily use items. HLL is strong on both these fronts with 110 brands and a 1mn strong direct retail reach. A slowdown in industrial growth and erratic monsoon in several parts of the country has led to a slowdown in consumer demand during the last.

COMPETITIVE POSITION
HLL is the market leader in the detergent and soap industry. Nirma is a close competitor in detergents and has been slowly gaining ground in toilet soaps too. The other significant competitor in detergents is P&G. Despite being the global leader in this segment, has been unable to achieve a critical mass in India due to premium pricing strategy. In oral care segment, HLL has emerged as a strong No. 2 player, giving stiff competition to the market leader Colgate. In the hair care segment, HLL dominates the shampoo market and is the No. 2 player in hair oils. In the skin care market, besides competition from leading global players, HLL has also been losing share to south based player Cavincare Ltd. In the foods business, Tata Tea in packet tea, Nestle in Coffee and culinary products, GCMMF (Amul) in ice creams, and Godrej Pillsbury in staple food are the main competitors.

Profitable growth is the new mantra of the FMCG major's new Chairman Vindi Banga, who took over the reins from Keki Dadiseth last year. In contrast to Dadiseth's strategy of expansion through acquisition, Mr. Banga's strategy revolves around rationalization. A focus on 30 power brands, which are major contributors to profitability, seeking new avenues of expanding distribution reach, improving profitability of Foods businesses, which is in the investment phase are the thrust areas outlined by him. The non-FMCG businesses are either being are hived off or are being strengthened by

Partnerships with players who have the technological expertise in tose bossiness.

BUSINESS
HLL's core business comprises of soaps (18%), detergents (16%), personal products (19%), Tea (16%), coffee (2%), Ice-cream (1%), culinary products (1%). Animal Feed, specialty chemicals and other small business contribute to the balance 18% of HLL's turnover. 16

DABUR INDIA LTD.


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Dabur India is into business of manufacturing and selling of ayurvedic medicines, ayurvedic, natural and herbal personal & health products and processes foods either directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries. The company is among top FMCG companies in the country. It its presence in Indian market for past 115 years. Most of its ayurvedic/OTC brands are the 17

market leaders in their respective segments. Dabur has developed considerable expertise in these

Traditional areas and has well developed considerable expertise in these traditional areas and has well understood the consumer preferences for the traditional ayurvedic remedial measures. The company hitherto had been a family run business but with increasing competition the company has undertaken massive restructuring over past 2 years and has exited form a number of low margin businesses. The company has hived off its foods business into a 100% subsidiary. In FY00 the company sold off its entire stake in Excelsia JV with Nestle for manufacturing biscuits for a nominal value of Rs. 10. The company has also decided to wind up its finance businesses.

Though the company exited form beauty products business but with increasing market size and higher margins the company has revived its interests in reentering the business. The company recently decided to venture into Insurance sector in a tie up with Allstate. In Q1 FY01 the company's sales grew 6.1% yoy growth to Rs. 2.5bn. On a comparable basis (i.e. excluding sales from foods business) yoy growth in sales would have been higher at 10%. Operating profit margin excluding other income has recorded a 0.7% point gain from 6.5% to 7.2% mainly aided by lower raw material cost. Net profit in the previous corresponding quarter was inflated due to a non-recuring income of Rs. 211mn from sale of stake in confectionery joint venture General de Confeteria (now Joyco India). Adjusted

18

net profit after including this non-recurring income therefore displays a 73% yoy decline of Rs. 72mn.

BUSINESS Ayurvedic products, based on natural elements/herbal extracts, originated in India. Have become popular in the OTC segment, wherein significant advertising and promotional expenses have to be incurred in order to increase consumer awareness. But, in the absence of price controls margins are attractive once a brand is established. Most large ayurvedic players such as Dabur, Zandu, Baidyanath etc. leverage on brand equity, new product launches and established distribution network to drive sales. Exports are also limited to mainly OTC products promoted as tonics/food supplements etc.

The company has also established strong brand equity in personal products like hair oils, shampoo, etc. The company has diversified into the foods business, directly and throughjoint ventures.Dabur's key growth driving brands are Chyawanprash, PudinHara, Hajmola, Dabur Amla, Dabur Vatika and Lal Dant Manjan.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

20

What are the target groups of various product ads? How the target groups of various products are reached through ad? How much and how the consumer decision are effected by the ads? Where the ads are lacking the target? What the consumer view about ads, are they think that ad deceives them or wastage of money?

NEED / IMPORTANCE OF THIS RESEARCH


21

Every day each of us makes numerous decisions concerning every aspect of our daily lives. This decision includes big decision and small decision about purchase of daily consumable goods and our decision on these daily consumable goods are effected by our level of knowledge because we generally not make a search for data to make such decision. So we are more dependent on the knowledge we get easily from external environment. Advertisement is the best source to get that knowledge So advertisement has effect on our purchasing decision. Study is important to know how the advertisement effects the decision while making the purchase. From the company point of view, brands are expensive to create and have a high mortality rate. It is in the interest of business to ensure that they stay strong and healthy. Only advertisement can do this task more efficiently. Given the importance of advertisement, marketing managers must know which element of marketing strategy can be used to increase brand name through advertisement. Study is important to know how the target groups are given the advertisement and how the companies give the advertisement in that competitive environment.

TOOTHPASTE MARKET

22

Many people in India still clean their teeth with traditional products like neem twings, salt, ash, tobacco or other herbal ingredients. Average all India per capita consumption of toothpaste is a DISMAL 82 GMS The dentist to population ratio is a critically low 1:35000 in the country. This result in low oral hygiene consciousness and widespread dental disease. Less than 15% of the Indian toothpaste users brush twice a day. The toothpaste market grew at a CAGR of 7-8% between 1995-2000 but in 2005 the market grew by only 6% Colgate and Hindustan lever together account for over 85% of the organized toothpaste market. Red and black toothpowder still accounts for 35% of the toothpowder market. In toothpowders , Colgate and dabur are the leading players sharing between them 75% of the market Penetration of toothpaste in the urban areas has been declining, as more and more consumes switch from powder to paste. Brand loyalty is quite high for toothpaste, but is extremely low for Toothbrushes. 10 years ago the most expensive toothbrush was priced at Rs 4. today one can also buy a toothbrush priced at Rs.999

Cost Loyal Customer Availability Product Characteristics Other

Now comes the influences on purchase decision, which factor out of cost, loyalty, availability, product characteristics influence the purchase decision. Respondents are asked to tick one or more. So the maximum people purchase toothpaste because of product characteristics or its attributes. Then the second more importance is given to the cost. Here one surprising fact is that people give the importance to price but the percentage of people who use Babool toothpaste are less instead of heaving less price. Then comes the availability of products in the particular market. Some time we decide to purchase a particular brand but purchase some other because that brand was not available in the market at the time. This is also one of the strong point which influence the purchase decision. Why this brand only Whitening teeth Gum care Breath freshness Herbal Contents No. of People 26 24 18 8 %age 33 32 24 11

Question arises here is that, if the entire brands are usually having the equal price, why the people purchase a particular brand? As I find out earlier that people purchase particular brand because of product characteristics so their decision is more influence by the problem which they face, and the product, which satisfied their need in the better way. Mostly people purchase the product for whitening their teeth, as 26 out of 48 given this reason. 12 purchase from gum Care, 18 for breath freshness and some because of herbal contents. So the toothpaste market is more targeted to a particular segment.

Now the last question in the toothpaste survey is the reaction of people to the particular advertisement, means after how much time they take to go for the purchase of product. Either they do immediate purchase or purchase after the products get some market share or not react at all. 36 out of 48 say that they purchase the product only after the product gets some good reputation in the market. Some purchase product satisfied their need or desire in the better way as compared to the previous product; they shift to that brand otherwise go back to their old product. Trail ability make the shampoo market more fluctuating, so the common point of view is that the decisions are taken on advertisement basis but only after the product gets some reputation in the market.

FINDINGS IN TOOTHPASTE SURVEY


Target Group

40

Toothpaste industry is now more targeted to the particulars segment with their targeted consumer. Market for toothpaste is mainly divided in four groups. People who prefer for Whitening teeth People who prefer for Gum Care People who prefer for Breath Freshness People who prefer Herbal Content

There is separate target group of customers but some advertisement as brand try to target two or more groups also. The first three groups have all most equal share and Herbal toothpaste have fewer roles because of less advertisement.

HOW TARGET GROUPS GIVEN AD


Targeted segment are given the advertisement as the product can solve their problem in the better way than by only other brand.

Projected celebrations are use, as models or young age college-going students are shown. As the Close-up advertisement show the young boy and girl come close because of breath freshness.

Time is most important as the advertisement is given mostly on prime time between 7.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m. to target the most extent customers as possible. 41

Advertisements are given on famous channels such Start Plus, Zee T.V., Sports & Music Channel.

HOW THE DECISION EFFECTED BY ADS


As the toothpaste don't have as much trainability as the shampoo have but have some trainability with small size of tubes which effect the purchase decision as the people can try new product as product with new characteristics with small size of tubes.

Decision of the purchase in more effected by advertisement if the customer face only problem and advertisement give the solution to that problem.

Price is not given much consideration as the Babul have fewer sales instead of having less price.

Decision in effected by advertisement and also by availability of product in the market sometime you select the brand but don't find with the retail and purchase some other.

Some people are of the view that we should change the brand after some time, as it is being prescribed by doctors.

42

More regular advertisement built more positive attitude of the people towards a particular brand as these day.

Close-up come with new slogan Talk to me which help them to increase their role in market.

WHAT IS LACKING THROUGH ADS


Survey shows that mostly house ladies are purchase or decide about which brand to be purchased by advertisement of toothpastes target them less. As mostly youngster are targeted with advertisement.

Herbal contents shown by many product advertisements, which can in the effect of the purchase decision more. But still not shown to the much extent, which can be a good market.

Old age people never targeted by advertisement, which can be a good segment for toothpaste market.

Sometime advertisement tries to show something more than the actual product, which increase the people's expectation, and later on cause the bad reputation of product.

Advertisement should not show obscene or vulgar scene, which are not come under ethical code of conduct.

43

CONSUMERS VIEW ABOUT ADS

People are agreeing with the statement that advertisements change their decision sometime in wrong direction. It creates the feeling of sometime missing which is very essential.

Advertisements are not taken as the wastage of expenditure as it increases the knowledge more than its disadvantage. Only quality product service in the market.

This advertisement leads to the monopoly in the market as HLL enjoy the maximum share in daily consumable. So there are the chances or raising prices.

44

SHAMPOO MARKET

The frequency of shampoo usage is very low. Most consumers use shampoos only once or twice a week. In many cases, these products are used on special occasions such as weddings, parties etc. Some consumers use shampoo only to address a specific problem such as dandruff or when they need to condition their hair.

Use of conditioners is not common. It is restricted to the super premium segment or those are very involved with their hair care About 50% of consumers use ordinary toilet soaps to wash their hair. About 15% of consumers use toilet soaps as well as shampoo for cleaning their hair. Brand loyalties in shampoos are not very strong. Consumers frequently look for a change, particularly in fragrances. Consumers attribute lathering to the act of cleaning. Major expectations from the product are improvement in texture and manageability, giving softness and bounce to hair, curing and avoiding damage to the hair. An Indian needs more shampoo for a proper wash (average 6 ml) compared to 4 ml needed in Western countries as most Indian women have long hair. Most consumers do not use shampoo daily. Regular users would need smaller quantity of shampoo per bath. Southern market is predominately a sachet market, accounting for 70% of sachet, volumes. In sharp contrast, shampoo bottles are sold in the Northern region alone. In the North, local brands such as Ayur have strong equities and these products being low priced dilute sachet's USP of low price. 45

HOW TARGET GROUPS GIVEN AD


Advertisement to the target market is given as the solution of the problem such as dandruff solution, preventing hair lost etc. Advertisement are targeted mostly to the middle class which have the effect of projected celebrates on their purchase decision, so the famous film star, sports starts, model and personality are show in the advertisement.

Time of the advertisement is one of the most important factors. Some advertisements are mostly give between 12.00P.M. to 4.00P.M. targeted to housewives, and at prime time between 7.00 P.M. to 10.00 P.M. to reach the advertisement to the maximum extant it can reach and maximum effect it can make on purchase decision.

63

Advertisements are mostly given on the T.V. in famous serials and on famous channels such as Zee T.V. Star Plus and on movies channel and one sports channels.

Advertisements have the much effect on the purchase decision of people show the maximum sale of heads and shoulders because these day decisions more advertisement of Head & Shoulder come on T.V.

HOW THE DECISION EFFECTED BY ADS


Product is put in the market more through pouches this increases the trailability, mean people shift to new brand on trail basis and stand their until new brand satisfied them more better way.

Product characteristic, mean if the product give the solution to the problem they are facing they go for that product.

People frequently shift to other brand after six months or 1 year with the decreasing in advertisement on T.V. and other brand start showing much advertisements.

66

LIMITATIONS OF THE RESEARCH


The findings of this research apply, at best, to Punjab only. Even there, the selection was not random and some could consider a sample size of 50 respondents small.

As all income groups were included in the scope of the research the questions had to kept simple so that the uneducated and the in articulate could also answer them. This ruled out the use of sophisticated analytical techniques.

Questionnaires don't have any question about what is lacking in the advertisement, which was the part of objective.

Error may occur due to calculation and tabulation.

As human intelligence and perception are different there may be chance that analysis, interpretation and conclusion drawn out of the findings subject to error.

Then, of course, there are those limitations that are common to all empirical researchers and can arise at any stage of the research process e.g. mistakes may have been made in selecting respondents, in asking questions, while recording answers, while entering data or while correcting it etc. Respondents may have deliberately or inadvertently misled the data collector.

67

CONCLUSION
The project was based on the study of consumer behavior. How the consumer decision for the purchase of daily consumable or durable goods are affected through advertisement . companies or advertisement agencies are tries to give the advertisement more targeted to give the advertisement more targeted to the customers need or desires .
