INTRODUCTION
MARKETING RESEARCH
“Marketing research means the systematic gathering, recording, analyzing of data
about problems relating to the marketing of goods and services”
Marketing research has proved an essential tool to make all the need of
marketing management. Marketing research therefore is the scientific process of
gathering and analyzing of marketing information to meet the needs of marketing
management. But gathering of observation is must be systematic.
Growth Trends in Market Research
India, fastest growing market research industry in the world, with growth rates at
around 31 % (2006-07) . China is a distant second growing at 20 %. The size of the
industry if of 595 crore, but the industry is growing rapidly with a lot of business
coming from overseas. The business coming from overseas from overseas involves lot of
outsourcing as cost advantages are enormous. The processing of data is almost 50%
cheaper in India. The processing of data is almost 50% cheaper are in India than in
developed countries. The outsourcing business amounts to almost for the 8 % industry
and this figure is doubling in value every year.
Key Players in Market Research:-
IMRB (Indian Market Research Bureau)
ICMR (Indian Council of Market Research)

Scope of Market Research
Many people think that marketing research is just a consumer survey, asking consumers about
certain product or services. Though consumer research is an integral part of marketing
research, the latter is quite a pervasive activity, covering the various types of marketing
problems that confront the marketing manager. There are various discussion confined to the
market research which are as follows.
Product Research
Sales Research
Customer Research
Pricing Research
Advertising Research
OBJECTIVES
To know the satisfaction level of customers towards Pure it products and
services.
Motivating the customers to take Pure it water purifier.
How to increase productivity of sales .

SCOPE AND IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY
The project aims to get us out of the classroom and into the real world of companies/
competitors, markets, managers and customers. For me, it opens the way for walking
into experiences. The ultimate goal of this research is enormous with its true sense.
Physically and practically, it shows the potential for the company and me.
The scope of the project helps in analyzing the factors, which influence the
referring behavior of customers.
The scope is such that the study has been conducted by taking samples from
different areas, which depicts the overall picture.
The results obtained will give an overview of the different criteria based on
which an existing customer can be used to generate sufficient leads for the
company.
The study can be helpful in taking decision so as to improve the approach
towards customers for getting reference and service.
This project also helps to know how an organization works in real environment
and under different market scenario.
Importance of Study:
The main purpose of study is to increase the productivity of kiosk (outreach) regarding
HUL Pure it water purifiers. The survey was conducted in Cuttack area not all but only
some parts have included for survey. Due to shortage of time it was not possible to
cover the whole areas. Thus the scope of the study was completed with the time and
resources available.

METHODOLOGY
Type of research-Descriptive & Exploratory research
Descriptive study is a fact finding investigation with an adequate interpretation. It is the
simplest type of research and is more specific. Mainly designed to gather descriptive
information and provides information for formulating more sophisticated studies.
Descriptive research, also known as statistical research, describes data and
characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studies.
Scaling technique
For the measurement of variables, Nominal Scale is used which is the most widely used scale in
market research, where respondents specify their response to a statement.
8
DATA COLLECTION
1. Primary Data
(A).Questionnaire: - A set of questions related to the research topic was formulated. Response
for each questions included in the questionnaire has been collected from the customers.
(B). Interview: - Apart from collecting different responses from the customers some extra
information has been obtained through face to face interviewing activity.
2. Secondary Data
Secondary research was done to build an in-depth understanding of the satisfaction levels
of customers.
Information from various published resources like India stat and other research bodies
were also used to validate the market figures and cross-validate the data.
Detailed analysis of secondary information was used to arrive at the specific frameworks
provided in the report.
3. Sampling methodology: The sampling methodology used is Non Probability
sampling technique-Convenience sampling (A non probability sampling technique that attempts
to obtain a sample of convenient elements. The selection of sampling unit is left primarily to the
interviewer)
4. Sample size: I had chosen 100 samples for the analysis.
5. Questionnaire: The questionnaire is formed in such a way that the information
required for the study is acquired from each item i.e. questions. Here I have used Nominal scale
of measurement to measure the respondent’s responses with each of the series of the items in
the form of statements. The respondents’ category range from housewives & working women to
working men.
6. Sampling design:
I. Selection of study area: Cuttack. Selection of Sample size: 100

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY .
At most attention was taken to eliminate any kind of biasness & mi-interpretation in the
study to get optimum result. Even though the following limitations could have certain
degree of impact on the findings.
The study was confined to Cuttack city only which may not represent the real
picture of the entire Orissa.
Many retailers were not interested in Pureit because of steep competition in the
locality among retailers.
Data collected about satisfaction & awareness level may not represent the real
picture.
My Study is confined to 100 respondents.
Lack of research experience.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Who is a Customer?
A customer is 'a person or organizational unit that plays a role in the consummation of
a transaction with the marketer or an entity'. (Sheath et al., 1999). From this definition,
customers of mobile phone companies could be individuals, households and
organizations. Even as these companies pay more attention to meeting the needs of
their individual customers, they need also to make sure that the needs of their
corporate customers are met as well. .
Customer Satisfaction
customers' needs desires and expectations'. Kotler (2003) also defines satisfaction as
'a person's feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a product's
perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her expectations'. Satisfaction
is an overall customer attitude towards a service provider, or an emotional reaction to
the difference between what the customer anticipate and what they actually receive, as
far as the fulfillment of some need, goal and desire is concerned. (Hans mark and
Albinsson 2004).
These definitions all point to the fact that every customer has in one way or the other
something he/she expects from his/her service providers. These expectations have
come into play because of a need that has to be satisfied. These expectations are not the
same as there are many customers. Kotler et al (2002), posit that the customer gets
dissatisfied if performance is below expectation and vice versa. If performance goes
beyond the expectation of the customer, the customer is highly satisfied and delighted.
Motley, (2003), corroborates the idea of matching service performance with
customers' expectations. He notes that the mission of a business is the creation of
satisfied clients who tend to favour the organization through time by patronizing the
services being delivered by the business. He goes further to mentions that, businesses
can achieve this aim by understanding what satisfies and dissatisfies their customers or
clients.
Christopher, Payne, and Ballantyne (1993) have defined service quality as the ability
of the organization to meet or exceed customer expectations. Service quality is believed
11
to depend on the gap between expected and perceived performance (Anderson, Fornell,
& Lehmann, 1994).Gitlow, Oppenheim, and Oppenheim (1989) also stated that service
quality is the extent to which the customer or users believe the service surpasses their
needs and expectations.
Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty: The Relationship
The question which needs to be answered is whether there is any correlation and/or
relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Kotler (2003) put
forward that there is no direct relationship between customer satisfaction and
customer loyalty. In other words, the
relationship is not proportional. The idea of customer satisfaction not directly linked
with customer loyalty is supported by Oechsli and Matt (2000). They hold the view
that; the fact that a customer is satisfied with the services of a business does not
guarantee his or her loyalty. They therefore see a sharp distinction between customer
satisfaction and loyalty. In their own words, 'satisfaction is a fleeting emotional
response to the quality of the client's last business transaction'. 'Being satisfied at the
moment is no guarantee of an ongoing relationship'. Hokanson (1995) mentions the
fact that a very satisfied customer does not necessarily mean a loyal customer.
Winstanley and Martha (1997), have a different view about the relationship between
customer satisfaction and loyalty. They perceive a direct relationship between
satisfaction and loyalty. They claim that when customers are satisfied, they concentrate
their business with one business or service provider. Also customers who are highly
satisfied are much more likely to view their service providers as their main relationship
business. Thus, Clarke (2001), has put forward the argument that, 'a business that
focuses exclusively on customer satisfaction runs the risk of becoming an
undifferentiated brand whose customers believe only that it meets the minimum
performance criteria for the category'2010

INDUSTRY PROFILE
In the last decade and more, the country has undergone many changes and one of the
important ones is that people have become health conscious. People realized that
around 80 per cent of diseases in India are caused by water-borne micro-organisms.
According to a 2009 World Health Organization report, 1.1 billion people lack access to
an improved drinking water supply, 88% of the 4 billion annual cases of diarrheal
disease are attributed to unsafe water and inadequate sanitation and hygiene, and 1.8
million people die from diarrheal diseases each year. The WHO estimates that 94% of
these diarrheal cases are preventable through modifications to the environment,
including access to safe water. Simple techniques for treating water at home, such as
chlorination, filters, and solar disinfection, and storing it in safe containers could save a
huge number of lives each year. Reducing deaths from waterborne diseases is a major
public health goal in developing countries.
Water purifier are one of the most used kitchen utilities .Available in India .water
purification and backpacking is an industry in itself in India. Portable Version of Water
purifiers are available for camping and hacking. Water purification methods include the
mechanized version as well as the age old and time-tested water purification tablets.
The Water purification process includes removing contaminants from the raw water
source. Some of the home remedies for water purification are boiling or the use of the
household charcoal filter. But these do not ensure the required standard of water
purification thus a proper treatment is mandatory. That’s where the water purifiers for home
step in treatment of water by ozone also provides certain levels of purity.
Water Purifier Market in India 2011
The water purification and treatment industry in India, under siege from cheap imports
of water treatment products from China, is working to set standards for the water
treatment industry in the country as a safeguard against 'spurious' products. This is
being done through a certification process. Hence, for the first time the industry has put
its head together to come up with a solution. In a country like India, where water
scarcity is growing by the day, there are too many issues relating to water. This has
meant that there are dime a dozen firms that are trying to make the best of the situation.
Now there is a clamor for proper standards.
14
India Water Purifier Market has tremendous growth potential
Globally more than one billion people lack access to safe drinking water and
approximately 2.4 Billion people lack access to proper sanitation, nearly all of them in
the developing countries, including India. Nearly a third of the world's population
worldwide live in water-stressed areas. This figure is expected to rise to two-third of
the population by 2025.With increasing number of people becoming conscious of the
risks of drinking contaminated water, the demand for water purifiers is rising rapidly.
In the past few years, Indian water purifier industry has witnessed an exponential
growth of 22% CAGR. The water purifier industry sales grew dramatically during FY'09
as compared to previous fiscals due to improving demand and expanding production
capacity. The industry saw high growth of rate 17% during FY'08 due to the increasing
awareness for safe drinking water. The UV segment, which constitutes more than 55%
of the industry and is a key focus area for water purifier manufacturers, due to the
higher margins it offers, is expected to continue its rapid growth. According to Research,
Indian Water Purifier industry will continue its growth trajectory and is expected to
witness a turnover growth of more than 22% CAGR during the period between FY'11
and to FY'14.Research conducted a survey across 10 major cities in India with 600 users
of water purifier to understand the market size, growth drivers, issues and buying
behavior patterns. The cities covered in survey were, NewDelhi, Mumbai, Kolkata,
Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmadabad, Chandigarh, Pune and Bhubaneswar.

Pureit Marvella & Pure it Auto fill
Pureit Classic &Pureit Compact
SELLING STRATEGY ADOPTED
21
Because of the low interest and since the product benefits needs to be demonstrated to
the customers, conventional distribution was not viable. Hence Hindustan Unilever
limited chose the less traveled Direct Selling route.
The Hindustan Unilever’s sales man in water division is called PWE. It has three
streams for selling of product i.e. cold calls (door to door selling), outreach (Kiosk) and
clinic (Hospital). It is a tough job for these salesmen who have to go through the "cold
calls" to get a sale. At one point of time, because of the aggressive nature of these sales
persons, people became scared even to listen to these sales persons. Now this
aggression has mellowed down to a more professional sales approach.
Selling Strategies adopted by company are 1. Direct Selling- Door-to-Door Selling 2.
Outreach (Kiosk) 3.Clinic (Hospital)
Product Segmentation
Hindustan Unilever sells different water-purifiers on the basis of classifying their utility and
price affordability. The water purifiers are classified as follows:
(1)Pure it compact – Rs 1000 /-
(2)Pure it M05 Model – Rs 2000 /-
(3)Pure it Autofill –Rs 3200 /-
(4)Pure it Marvella –Rs 6900 /-

CHAPTER-III
STUDY OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS PURE IT
23
‘Consumer is king’ –the statement carries profound truth in it. Today the success of any
firm depends upon the satisfaction of consumers. For satisfying the consumers the firm
should know about the behavior of the consumers. In these circumstances
understanding consumer is a very difficult task because of the changing technology,
innovation, and changes in life style. Researchers conducted many research in this area,
and they given only few suggestion, but there is no final conclusion. As per the ideas
given by the researchers, there are two factors influencing the consumers such as
intrinsic and extrinsic factors. It is difficult to classify consumers by conventional
demographic factors and unless their thought process and buying behavior are fully
understood, decisions on product designs and packaging, branding and distribution
channels are likely to be misplaced. With the inevitability of change looming large over
the horizon, Indian companies must learn from their western counterparts; not only to
identify the sources, timing and direction of the changes likely to affect India, but also
the new competencies and perspective that will enable them to respond to these
changes, comprehensively and effectively. This study mainly focus on understanding the
external factors like demographic, social, cultural ,price, quality ,product attributes etc
for buying water purifier like HUL Pureit . The market share of any product is highly
determined by the purchasing behavior of the consumers. Following study is conducted
by the researcher to find out the behavior of the consumers, to analyze the preference of
consumers, & consumer awareness. Descriptive research design was adopted and the
data is collected through primary and secondary sources.
Factors that affect the consumers decision & perception
Product Type:
Past research indicates that consumers purchase and channel decisions might be
influenced by the type of product being investigated (Cox and Rich 1964:Lumpkin and
Hawes 1985;Morrison and Roberts 1998:Papadopoulos 1980:Prasad 1975:Sheth 1983:
Thompson 1971).In particular ,these authors state 29 that certain products might be
more appropriate for one channel or another, which ultimately influences consumers
channel preference and choice.
24
Quality:
It is our aim to provide the best product for the consumer and we believe that if the
products have quality the consumer will pay the price, says , regional business director
of HUL.
Promotion:
The greatest challenge faced by companies today is holding and increasing their market
share and value. This is always a strenuous exercise and one of the tools for the same is
marketing. There is no specific game rule available for using these marketing tools .The
reason is: each promotional tool has its own characteristics.
Brand Awareness:According to Rossiter and Prey (1987), brand awareness precedes all other steps in the
buying process. A brand attitude cannot be performed, unless a consumer is aware of
the brand. In memory theory, brand awareness is positioned as a vital first step in
building the bundle of associations which are attached to the brand in memory (Stokes,
1985).
Family influence:A family exerts a complex influence on the behaviors of its members. Prior family
influence research has focused on intergenerational rather than intergenerational
influence in consumer renationalization. As has been compellingly demonstrated,
parents influence children (Moore, Willkie, and Lutz2002; Moschis 1987).Yet,
consumption domains clearly exist where sibling efforts may also be exerted
Demographic factor:Based on this study demographic factor like age, gender, education, status, and income
influence people indirectly for decision making. This is supported by following
evidence. Demographic factors play a major role in children’s power to influence their
parents. For example, Foxman et al. (1989) argue that age is a relevant variable as older
children are presumed to be more knowledgeable about products and family needs.
This is mainly due to their increase in cognitive development (Piaget, 1972)
Brand image:
25
Based on this study the preference for selecting water purifier is mainly based on brand,
quality, and taste. Brand image influencing the consumer mind and consumer feel the
quality of the product. This is supported by the following review. Zeithaml,
Parasuraman, and Berry (1985) suggested that the brand image was an extrinsic
attribute of the product.
Advertising:Based on this study majority of the respondents influenced by advertisement for
buying water purifier. In recent circumstances technology plays an important role in
decision making; especially in advertising field the technology role is very high.
Television advertisement inducing the consumer mind for decision making, especially
advertisement for water purifier influencing the consumer to buy a particular brand.
Other kind of advertisement in magazine, newspaper also influencing the people.
Advertising is a strong base for consumer.
Product attributes: Based on this study product attributes also influencing the consumers for decision
making. Most of the respondents gave importance to healthy prevention of any water
born diseases, herbal attribute, and fresh water. So people consider the benefit of the
product for buying water purifier.
Price: Based on this survey, most of the respondents are influenced by price then availability,
and then packaging .For increasing the price of a product the company should consider
the views of consumer otherwise the consumer switch over to competitor product.
Why customer will choose Pure it as ultimate water purifier?

terms of safety, convenience and affordability.

The above table shows that Pureit’s initial price of Rs. 2000 and the ongoing price of
only Re. 1 for 4 litres of water is the most competitive offer in the market. This is
because Pureit doesn’t need expensive gas, doesn’t need electricity, doesn’t need
maintenance
This study is especially conducted on Consumer’s preference and buying interest
towards HUL Pure it and in this process of research I have take opinions of 100 people
through questionnaire method made by myself.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF HUL PURE IT
STRENGTH HUL has more than 100 million customers. It is the largest FMCG company in
India, and also put a step forward to the water purifier industry by lunching Pure
it.
The company has covered the entire Indian nation with its Product. This has
underpinned its large and rising customer base.
It is the 4th largest FMCG Company in the world.
WEAKNESS UL have stopped door to door selling from 2009 which going to be a biggest
weakness for the company and newly introduced market strategy for Pure it
not working effectively.
OPPORTUNITY HUL Pure it have newly introduced Pure it Marvella RO with reverse osmosis
technology which now going to compete with Eureka Forbes Aqua guard Ro.
Opportunity is always there because of a strong brand name also.
HUL Pure it going to make available there product in rural areas in India by
spreading there distribution channels which going to help them to get more
consumers because the quality of drinking water is not good there.
THREAT Quickly changing global industry can be a matter of threat for HUL in india.
TATA have introduced its product in Indian water purifier market, Tata Swach
which is a matter of concern for Hul Pure it.

CONCLUSION
51
I had conducted the market survey in the town of Cuttack in Orissa.
I had chosen the product as ‘Pure It’ because people are very cautious about their health
these days and are very particular about their drinking water. In such a scenario most
of the people are using water purifier.
I was very lucky to join this company and learnt so many things, like punctuality, hard
work, selling strategy of company etc. I had met different kinds
of people, coming from different religion. Thus I came to know about the different views
of these people.
After the survey I came to a solution that the people of Cuttack are very much aware
of Pure It water purifier and maximum of them are satisfied with the product.. Although
maximum people are satisfied with the product but still there a pinch of dissatisfaction
among some of the consumers. But the ratios of these people are negligible.
I would like to discuss about an industry which is responsible and absolutely welcomes
enhanced competition. I believe that the success of this industry in the market place is
by delighting customers through affordable price and high quality and better after sale
services, instead of any possible manipulation in the area of spectrum management.
We can find that HUL is not the best water purifier provider in India because apart from
the price & quality of output, it’s not good at any point. Because most of the respondents
have rated it as average more. And of course the survey research always reflects the
truth.
No doubt HUL Pureit have very good quality of product and availability in Cuttack.
Customer feels delightful with the HUL services and is satisfied with HUL Customer
service.
52
RECOMMENDATIONS
As per the survey done following were the recommendations of the
Survey:
PRICING: Depending on the market conditions / competition from other competitors
and also to suit local conditions, there should be flexible pricing mechanism
(either at central or local level).
IMPROVEMENT IN TECHNOLOGY:HUL Pure it should immediately shift to new technology by replacing its old
technology as per requirement. This will improve the quality of service to
desired level and provide simultaneous integration with the nationwide.
UNTAPPED RURAL MARKET:Large part of Orissa rural market is still untapped therefore HUL Pure it is
required to bring that area under mobility.
Pure it needs to spend on advertisement to attract new customers.
HUL Pure it should continue to offer the best toppings to stay at the top.
There should be no compromise in quality of the product
Sales person at the retails counters should have proper knowledge
about the product.
Customer service is something which company should pay more attention.
