    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    In todays scenario, Quality is acknowledged as one of the most potent sources in

    contributing directly and significantly in the growth of any organization.

    This project attempts to explore the most effective QUALITY for smooth sailing of an

    organization.

    It was a research conducted to get the feedback of the customers from different

    departments about the quality assurance system followed in the organization.

    The main research objective was to understand the relevance of wide variety of methods

    and techniques that can be explored towards performance of the organizational goals. In

    todays competitive world every organization is geared towards maximum return with

    minimum investment. Quality plays a vital role towards planning & controlling cost

    effective manpower support.

    Channelizing human energies in a predetermined desirable direction are not possible

    unless harmonious relations are maintained among team members involved in business

    development. Concept of customers retention was also understood through the project

    study. The ways adopted by companies to manage grievances and stress and thereby

    motivating the employees and improving quality were studied through the project.

    This project covers the QUALITY ASSURANCE by defining its meaning. What are the

    objectives of performance appraisal, Process which is followed during the appraisal

    method. Certain steps are involved in performing the performance appraisal technique

    like establishing performance standards, communicating those standards, measuring theperformance then comparing the performance with the pre defined standards, discussing

    results and then taking corrective measures. This chapter also includes challenges faced

    in the process and the purpose of performance appraisal.

    The next chapter is Research and Methodology . Research is an organized inquiry

    designed and carried out to provide information to solve the problem. The fact, search is

    an art of scientific investigation of a certain problem. Research is the process of

    systematically obtaining accurate answers to significant and pertinent questions by the

    use of the scientific methods gathering and interpreting information. It also includes the

    method of collection of data which are primary method and secondary method. Sample

    design and data collection are also mentioned.

    The next chapter is of Analysis and finding where it is shown the responses of different

    people when asked about performance appraisal. An questionnaire was formed to know

    about the actual thinking of employees about performance appraisal method.

    A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series ofquestions and other

    prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. Although they are

    often designed forstatistical analysis of the responses, this is not always the case. And

    on the basis of the questionnaire a table and pie charts were drawn for each question to

    understand and interpret the responses more effectively.

    Conclusion and recommendations are essential for a report. Conclusion summarize your

    report .The conclusion from this report for me is that an individual got to experience the

    real corporate world and understand it and these experiences may help them in their

    future in a drastic way. Recommendations are also very helpful for an individual or an

    organization. Suggestions or recommendations are good in a way as it helps in further

    improvement .Certain recommendations are also mentioned in this report as it is

    incomplete without it

    Every project or report has some limitations or in the process of making the report

    certain obstacles are always involved In this report problems regarding the distribution

    of questionnaire and getting it filled was a bit difficult to accomplish. Those problems

    that occurred during the completion of the report are also mentioned.

    Home Appliances in India

    Home Appliances are that without which a modern home is considered

    incomplete, especially in urban areas. We have become so used to some

    of the home appliances that it seems difficult to live without them.

    Indeed, they have made our life more comfortable and easier than ever.

    In metro cities and big towns, such household appliances are regarded as

    a boon, as they are instrumental in cutting down the time involved in

    most of the domestic chores. This is really a great help since people often

    find it difficult to keep a balance between professional obligation and

    household needs.

    Products such as microwave ovens, juicer- mixer- grinder, fully automatic

    washing machines, frost- free refrigerators are the most popular category

    of home appliances. This is because they have made the work of

    housewives less tiresome and more enjoying. Most of the domestic

    appliances are useful in various kitchen related jobs and hence are

    termed as kitchen appliances. Gas stoves, toasters, microwave ovens,

    mixer & grinders, juicers & blenders, roti makers, refrigerators, water

    purifiers are some of the most common kitchen appliances in India.

    Besides, there is a category of electronic products that have become an

    integral part of modern houses. These are air conditioners, fans, room

    coolers, room heaters, geysers, electrical irons etc.

    Home Appliance Companies in India

    There are many Home Appliance companies in India like ONIDA, Voltas, Godrej, Bluestar,

    Kenstar etc. Apart from them there are various international companies also that deal in

    domestic appliances. Some of these home appliances manufacturers are Samsung, LG, IFB,

    Whirlpool, Kenmore etc. With the arrival of international brands in Indian market, the

    competition among rival companies have become stiff, which results in further improvement

    in qualities and depreciation in prices of most of the home appliances in India. Since, a

    majority of products are electrically operated, the focus is on such household appliances that

    are efficient in power consumption.

    Analyzing quality is perceived as cornerstone of a successful QUALITY ASSURANCE.

    Finding Best Quality is the mental and emotional processes and the observable

    behaviour of consumers during searching purchasing and post consumption of a product

    and service. Similarly it refers quality as the action and decision process of people who

    purchase goods and services for personal consumption. Now if these defining criteria

    are closely observed, it is evident that analyzing consumers decision making process is

    the foundation of entire notion of quality. There are four different views related to

    consumer decision making process and behaviour. It is argued that first of them is

    economic view that consumers are primarily facing imperfect competition and they are

    always expected to make rational decision on the basis of assumptions that they are

    aware of all product alternatives, they can rank benefits and limitation of each

    alternative and are able to identify one best alternative. Second Passive View is

    absolutely opposite to economic view and suggests that consumers are irrational and

    impulsive as they are submissive to self-centred interests of marketers and got

    influenced by marketing tools. Similarly third, Emotional View is related to perceive

    consumers decision making based on their emotional association or feeling about some

    products and services. For instance, a person loosing red colour specific pen neither go

    for rational decision by evaluating alternatives ( economic view) nor will the person get

    influenced by marketers ( passive view). Rather the person will try to purchase any pen

    closely resembled with his favourite possession. Fourth and arguably most

    acknowledged view is Cognitive View where consumers are considered as thinking

    problem solver which are receptive as well as actively searching for the products and

  • 7/30/2019 F1INAL

    30/87

    P a g e | 30

    services that can fulfil their need. Consumers behaviour under this view is based on

    information seeking and processing attributes usually directed by a goal. For instance,

    buying a tooth paste from shop can have a certain goal of choosing product that can

    taste good. Despite of critiques for each viewpoint, it can be considered a valid

    argument, that all four types of decision making behaviour exist and provide marketer

    guidelines to analyze consumer accordingly.

    Consumers decision making process that includes problem identification, information

    search (on internet and showrooms), evaluation of alternatives (comparing brands, for

    instance on basis of repute and features), purchase (purchasing selected item) and post-

    purchase action (satisfaction or dissonance). If the consumer is satisfied with the

    products quality he/she would make repeat purchases or if the consumer is dissatisfied

    negative reviews or negative word of mouth would spread causing fatal damage to the

    Companys image.

    The discussion may be concluded on the notion that no matter which view point out of

    four discussed above is common; it is an imperative fact that marketers have to realize

    existence of all of them to analyze quality effectively.

    Conceptual review of literature: The classical learning theory, which has evolved to

    Social cognitive theory, Socio- cognitive view of addiction, self-regulation mechanism

    explains buying behavior as a response to a stimuli. The factors of stimuli are in the

    form of the product, retail environment, emotional responses, and satisfaction of needs,

  • 7/30/2019 F1INAL

    31/87

    P a g e | 31

    pleasure and excitement. These factors are classified into socio-cultural, psychological,

    psychiatric and theological domains. The factors can be further divided into external and

    internal. The response (buying) is rationalized using the self regulation mechanism

    .The potential buyer goes through the process of self observation, judgment, self

    reaction and self regulation. The self observation is monitoring ones action to provide

    diagnostic information about the impact of behavior and attainment of goals. In the

    judgment process the personal standards, social comparisons with associates, reference

    group norms and prior behavior or collective Comparisons are done. The self-reaction

    process involves when behavior is observed and judged to deviate from personal or

    social standards of conduct. Unregulated buying may reflect ineffective self-reactive

    control. Previous research shows that forty percent of respondents admit that they are

    impulsive in nature, the reason being their self-control mechanisms not working and in

    reality more than ninety percent of buyers are impulsive. The impulsive behavior when

    repeated continuously becomes compulsive buying and when ina very higher degree is

    called addictive buying. In consumer literature compulsive buying is described as

    further suggests that people highly oriented toward the acquisition of wealth and

    spend more than those who use other means of payment, psychological, demographic

    variables can predict consumers who use consumer credit effectively With easier access

    to malls, a sea of products available, and little or no social stigma attached to constant

    shopping which formerly had been considered an indication of moral or spiritual decay,

    compulsive shoppers encounter temptations daily. Shopping is changing in nature. The

    focus is shifting from the purchase of provisions to satisfy the physical needs of oneself

    towards the use of consumer goods as a distinctive means of Acquiring and expressing a

    sense of self identity. Regulatory emotions Elliott 1994) or gaining social status.

    Changes have enhanced the complexity of consumption and created an atmosphere that

    has turned out to be more favorable for the risk of compulsive behavior than before. The

    belief that consumer goods are an important route towards success, identity and

    happiness are core values of consumer society.

    The emerging retail segment and life style changes: The literature being

    predominantly western but having gone into the process of globalization for the last 15

    years the Indian retail environment provides a similar picture. Retail sales in India

    amount to $180 billion and account for 10-11 % of GDP.The Indian retail market has

    around 12 million outlets and has the largest retail outlet density in the world. Indian

    retail has bright prospects, propelled by the fast lifestyle changes taking place in the

    Indian household. Over the last decade, Indias middle and high-income population has

    grown at a rapid pace of over 10% per annum, even as the large low-income base has

  • 7/30/2019 F1INAL

    33/87

    P a g e | 33

    shrunk. The changing identity of Indian women and the structure of the family is driving

    demand for convenience. Customers are demanding better store ambience and are

    looking for solution providers and external guarantors of quality and useability.The

    Indian consumer is increasingly focusing on value, convenience, variety and a better

    shopping experience. The increase in variety, quality, and availability of

    products, as well as an increase in spending power has resulted in consumers

    increasingly using supermarkets for their personal shopping. Indian lifestyles are

    changing, with the emergence of more educated women entering the workforce, and

    with more two-income households with higher disposable incomes. The rise of working

    women is a growth accelarator.According to the consumer outlook 2002 study by KSA

    techno park the overall spending of working woman is about 1.3 times that of an

    average housewife. However they spend much more on life style products. The ratio of

    men to women spending in single income household to double income household is

    1.2:1 whereas the same is 1.05:1 in case of household with Double Income No Kids

    (DINK). The study further finds, increased relative spending of youth compared to

    elders has gone up over 3 years. Teenagers are getting richer with every passing year. In

    fact 90 percent of

    youth get pocket money, with the average amount having increased from Rs.284 (2003)

    to Rs.375 (2004). Youth is emerging as core for lifestyle products. The study was aimed

    at exploring their mindsets, media preferences, attitudes and their behaviour in the

    market place. According to the study, much of their pocket money went on grooming,

    hanging out, indulgence and on high ticket items as well. Food and beverages account

  • 7/30/2019 F1INAL

    34/87

    P a g e | 34

    for the largest proportion of the teenagers pocket money (with ice-creams and soft

    drinks leading the category).Further, personal durable ownership has increased, with

    teenagers also influencing purchase of entertainment durables at Home.

    The Credit market in India: Credit card market in India is estimated at 14-20 million

    according to a recent survey conducted by global management consultant McKinsey.

    ICICI Bank asserts an average of Rs. 32,000 as annual spends per card (comparable to

    that of more advanced markets like Taiwan and Malaysia).ICICI Bank, which has more

    promotions in the pipeline, now claims to add up to 100,000 new customers every

    month while Citibank adds 80,000-90,000 and State Bank of India adds 70,000- 75,000

    cards per month. The other forms of credit market like automotive loans, housing loans,

    personal loans, education loans are all expanding. Consumerism or consumerist

    philosophy is buy now and pay later .It is under this scenario the linkages between the

    retail segment and the credit market seems important.

    Compulsive buying and the Indian consumers: The post globalized economy offers

    the consumers with countless brands in the product market.The credit market is equally

    poised to co-exist to the increasing demand, as consumers are on a shopping spree. The

    economy is growing at an average rate of 6% every year, for the last 12 years. The

    employment opportunities are on the rise leading to increasing disposable income.

    According to the National Council of Applied Economic Research, the Indian middle

  • 7/30/2019 F1INAL

    35/87

    P a g e | 35

    class has increased on the back of the economic boom, growing by some 10 to 12

    percent per year, and estimates its size to reach 300 million people. As an outcome of

    consumerism, the money that could have spent on social capital like education, nutrition

    is spent on dubious items that give no Social return. There is an endless quest to

    purchase newer products and the life is focused on the Imaginary world of the

    unattainable. As a consequence of spending to exhibit wealth major life events like

    weddings and births are transformed into consumer events. The increasing buying

    Frequency is leading families to a path of huge debts traps. The point of concern here,

    are defaults accumulating as an outcome of a phenomenon called consumerism? In the

    post-modern consumerist economies, the Maslows hierarchy of needs is circumvented

    at a faster pace. The product life cycle is shorter and buying urges are intensifying

    amongst Consumers in India, due to personal, socio-cultural and the emerging trends in

    the market place and its offerings. As a result of the impact of globalization and the

    forces of post-modern consumerism, the hierarchy of needs of individual is moving

    unnaturally, not exactly in the same order as Maslow predicted in the continuum

    (natural). The marketers of the present steer in a lot of mesmerizing effect, particularly

    using the persuasive advertisements 3. The availability of easy and plenty of credit

    product offerings to the consumers aggravates the situation. The compulsive buying

    which is rising in stature and is recognized as a behavioral anomaly The firm that

    spend (invest) a lot of money on socially non-viable projects create more of social costs

    or no social returns. This anomaly makes both the firm and individual spending model

    non sustainable in the long run. For an individual, buying beyond ones need/ability is a

  • 7/30/2019 F1INAL

    36/87

    P a g e | 36

    leading Indicator to a path of high personal debt. As per the Basel committee norms on

    banking, there is a growing importance for the non-financial credibility of the potential

    borrowers, over and above his/her financial credibility. This argument falls in line with

    sustainable borrowing and spending as the urges of consumerism are growing stronger,

    faster and getting deep rooted in our value and belief systems.

    Research Methodology

    Definition of Research

    The word research is derived from the Latin word meaning to know. It is a systematic

    and a replicable process, which identifies and defines problems, within specified

    Boundaries. It employs well-designed method to collect the data and analyses the

    Results. It disseminates the findings to contribute to generalize able knowledge. The

    Characteristics of research presented below will be examined in greater details later are:

    Systematic problem solving which identifies variables and tests relationships

    Between them

    Collecting, organizing and evaluating data.

    Logical, so procedures can be duplicated or understood by others

    Empirical, so decisions are based on data collected

    Reductive, so it investigates a small sample which can be generalized to a larger

    population

  • 7/30/2019 F1INAL

    38/87

    P a g e | 38

    Replicable, so others may test the findings by repeating it.

    Discovering new facts or verify and test old facts.

    Developing new scientific tools, concepts and theories, which would facilitate to

    take decision related to quality and consumer preferences.

    For the proper analysis of data simple statistical techniques such as percentage were

    use. It helps in making more generalization from the data available. The data which

    was collected from sample of population was assumed to be representing entire

    population was interest. Demographic factors like age, income and educational

    background was used for the classification purpose.

    Research Design

    Data Collection :

    The prepared questionnaires were distributed among the people living in the areas

    identified for the survey purpose.

    Sources of data:

    Primary data from the respondents was collected by using a non-disguised structured

    questionnaire. The questionnaire was prepared with utmost care incorporating all

    necessary information by using both open-end and close-end questions.

  • 7/30/2019 F1INAL

    39/87

    P a g e | 39

    Sample size

    For carrying out any research or study on any subject it is very difficult to cover even

    10% of the total population of onsumers. Therefore the sample size has to be decided for

    meaningful conclusion. For designing the sample size, it was thought proper to cover a

    very small percentage of population. The method used for sample technique was non

    probability convenience sampling method. This method is used because it is known

    previously as to whether a particular person will be asked to fill the questionnaire.

    Convenient sampling is used because only those people will be asked to fill the

    questionnaires who were easily accessible and available. Considering the constraints, it

    was decided to conduct the study based on sample size of 100 people.

    TYPES & TECHNIQUES

    The study conducted is a conclusive descriptive statistical study; the researcher comes

    to the decision which is precise and rational. The study is conclusive because after doing

    the study the researcher comes to a conclusion regarding the position of the brand in the

    minds of respondents of different firms groups. The study is statistical because

    throughout the study all the similar samples are selected and group together. All the

    similar responses are taken together as one and their percentages are calculated. Thus,

    this, conclusive descriptive statistical study is the best study for this purpose as it

    provides the necessary information which is utilize to arrive at a concrete decision.

    TOOLS USED

    To know the response the researcher has used the questionnaire method in sample

    survey. If one wishes to find what people think or know, the logical procedure is to ask

    them. This has lead marketing researchers to use the questionnaire technique for

    collecting data more than any other method. In this method questionnaire were

    distributed to the respondents and they were asked to answer the questions in the

    questionnaire. The questionnaires were structured non disguised questionnaire because

    the questions, which the questionnaire contained, were arranged in a specific order.

    LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

    The research was conducted in a limited area.

    Time will be a major constraint.

    The respondent will be limited so cannot be treated as a whole population.

    The respondent may be biased.

    Inference:

    The above table and diagram reperesnets the purchasing power of the consumer in the

    area where the survey was conducted. Those people who fall in the category of less

    than 10,000 are usually with less purchasing power and cant be influenced more by the

    patterns and methods of the company. Those who fall under 10,000-20,000 are those

    who are mostly influenced by buying behaviours and company tactics. Those who come

    above 20,000 are usually kind of luxury consumers and hence we can expect always a

    market from such category.

    clear that purchasing a LCD is a little costlier when compared with TV and their

    markets are yet to be captured effectively by the company. TV and refrigerator are

    always having their demand because they are considered as most essential household

    market for SAMSUNG. Talking about SONY it has undoubtedly more reputation

    than anyother of its competitors because of its brand image but when coming to

    In the area in which the survey was conducted 65% of the people are preferring ONIDA

    over other brands. And so ONIDA has around 65% of market availability in the area

    were survey was conducted though it cant be assured and also 65% is not a big share

    for a popular brand like ONIDA and hence they must prove their worth by gaining more

    market.

    Conclusion:

    69/87

    P a g e | 69

    In the above conducted study in DELHI and with data collected and analyzed

    above we could clearly depict at certain things that ONIDA does have a good

    base here. Hence ONIDA apart from concentrating in the quality and

    improvement of its products can also try to improve its reach to the consumers.

    Consumers are always in search for good quality with affordable price so ONIDA

    can go with such an idea of capturing the market by attracting fair population.

    To conclude, the customers have a very average image of Onida and are not even aware

    about all of its products. Moreover the non-availability of Onida and its silence in the

    market place is causing customers to forget Onida and its effectiveness. The factors like

    advertising, technology, promotional activities and product features are to be focussed

    on by Onida. This will help Onida to be at par with its competitors products. Onida also

    needs to tap the segments of professionals and self employed people as they have a

    preferable attitude and opinion towards Onida. Onida can regain its market position to

    some extent by refocusing its marketing efforts in the right direction and thus becoming

    more customers oriented. It is important that Onida not only redirects its QUALITY

    ASSURANCE but also increases and intensifies its marketing efforts in order to at par

    with several of its competitors.

    them to grab market share instantly. It gave a perception that these companies have

    better technology. ONIDA on the other hand leveraged its MNC image by it tagline of

    Indian MNC.

    Advertisements: LG has Abhishek Bachhan, Samsung Has Aamir Khan, ONIDA had

    Amithabh Bachhan and now Sharukh Khan, and All these players have used celebrity to

    a good effect to endorse their brands. On the other hand Onida is stuck with its old

    Devil which isnt helping.

    Visibility: The companies are associated with events and sponsorships. Like

    LG and ONIDA are associated with cricket. This has resulted in better brand visibility.

    68% of the people interviewed are aware of the Brand ONIDA in the region

    where the study was conducted it clearly depicts the Brand name and popularity.

    Out of 100% of respondents 23% of them have really have good opinion about

    the brand and its products being offered to them in the market and 52% of them

    are thinking that the brand is good so when calculated more than 75% of the

    consumers will be having best opinion about the brand and its products. When

    talking about the respondents who doesnt have good opinion is mere because of

    improper knowledge about the brand and their ignorance towards them new

    emerging markets, since the percentage is very less.

    This is a significant factor to be considered by the Brand because out of 100%,

    78% of the respondents are willing to try the ONIDA products it shows the

    Brand popularity and the trust which people have towards the products being

    marketed by the Company. Hence ONIDA will be having a good market for its

    products in the forthcoming periods. The remaining 22% are really mere users of

    other brands they couldnt to switch over due to their own customs and

    conventions towards ONIDA.

    Talking about the familiarity of the people towards the Companys products

    51% have answered in best way and other 18% in an affirmative way. Totally it

    comes around 70% which is not a best one but it shows that the products are

    reaching the consumer in a proper way but it has to be improved in a more

    effective way to reach all Class of people with gaining more attention and

    creating much awareness in the minds of the consumers.

    when asked about the appliances being used in the homes of the consumers

    where the study was conducted the following shown in the diagram above were

    arrived, in that area TV and DVD players stands high with 85% and 67%.

    Hence Onida has more markets for TVs and DVD players in the market. No

    doubt ONIDA is going great with DVD players by launching various new

    models. Moreover it has also to concentrate in LCDs because the opening

    which is gradually increasing day by day due to various additions are being

    offered like Blue ray, DTH services which are best viewed in LCDs and also it

    usually have good demand in particular segments.

    57% of the populations interviewed are already customers of ONDIA it clearly

    Recommendations

    STRATEGIES TO REVITALIZE BRAND ONIDA

    In order to revamp its position and brand value in the market Onida should use the

    following strategies:

    Better positioning: Onida should stick with a uniform positioning strategy rather than

    changing it with time as they did.

    Celebrity Endorsement: The Company should go for a better adverting. The company

    can rope in a celebrity to endorse its brand. This way the brand can be benefited from

    celebrities brand equity. We suggest rope in Saurav Ganguly. Gangulys image of a

    fighter and a class player will help Onidas brand image.

    Association with events: The Company has lost its place in the minds of customers.

    Also, the loyal customers of Onida have grown older. To regain old customers and to

  • 7/30/2019 F1INAL

    79/87

    P a g e | 79

    regain visibility, Association with events can help. Onidas problem of low visibility

    will be solved with its sponsorship of event like rock shows, games, marathons etc.

    Line Extension: The Company should go for line extension in value segment so as to

    target more customers in the lower segment. They should introduce more variants in

    14, 20 and 21 segment. These products will target the young and first time buyers.

    These buyers will have an emotional attachment with the brand and as they graduate to

    the high end segment, Onida can target them with its high end products.

    Apart from that there some suggestions that can be made from the study conducted

    From the above data analyzing and findings is evident that there is a significance

    relationship between Brand awareness and the type of the products being offered to the

    consumers.ONIDA Plus should concentrate on improving awareness on the part of the

    customers about the brand by doing extensive and sustained advertisement campaign

    round the year. Brand awareness must be generated among the consumers extensively

    by displaying hoardings and banners.

    Since Dealers and distributors do majority of business in selling the products to people,

    the display portrayed in the shops and showrooms should be taken up vigorously and

    special schemes may be introduced to encourage the shops taking up store display.

    Schemes may be given to the retails during off seasons.

    80/87

    P a g e | 80

    Quality of the product must be reviewed periodically and improvements, if necessary,

    could be made. Consumer feedback should be given greater importance and their

    expectations should be fulfilled as `a satisfied consumer is a loyal consumer`.

    From the study conducted it is also clear that there is a significance relationship between

    the offers and the brand the consumer uses now .Since majority of consumers are

    ignorant of the offers given to them by the company (should be generated among them).

    Apart from the above suggestions I also recommend that ONIDA should also

    concentrate more in technological advancements which more of the consumers are

    expecting now in the present world. In the same way ONIDA can also concentrate and

    try launching LEDs which will be the future after LCDs. The after sales service must

    be taken care of every point of time because worst backup service may spread negative

    image among the potential consumers therefore affecting sales drastically care should be

    taken for that.ONIDA can also improve its range of products from the current to

    advanced, it can launch various home appliances like (ELECRTIC STOVES) inductions

    which more consumers are referring now instead of Gas cylinders to be more cost

    effective, in the same way can also introduce more models in MICROWAVES.

    Similarly ONIDA has good base here in the region (PUDUCHERRY) where the study

    was conducted but unfortunately it fails to utilize it fully up to the level, hence it must

    be taken in mind and measures should be framed for utilizing the capacity. It can be

    effectively done through various sales promotions activities and building a good rapport

    81/87

    P a g e | 81

    with the Dealers and distributors in the locality because they only act as the mains

    source for supplying the products.

    The PULL and PUSH strategies must be often discussed with them for effectively

    marketing the products. Various offers and Incentives can be offered to them apart from

    doing so to Consumers in order to improve the sales effectively.

    Most of the dealers here in this region are dealing with Various brands simultaneously

    so care must be taken that ONIDA should be their first preference selling it to the

    consumers. Hence it should be considered and various offers and dealings should be

    made with them.
