    INTRODUCTION:-

    BACKGROUND

    Dabur was incorporated in 1884 in a small Calcutta Pharmacy

    where Dr. S. K. Burman launched his mission of making health

    care products. With the growing popularity of Dabur products,

    in 1986 Dr. S. K. Burman set up Daburs first manufacturing plant

    for mass production and in the early 1900s Dabur ventured into the

    business of nature based ayurvedic medicines for which standardized

    drugs were not available in the market. In 1936 Dabur sets up Dabur

    India Limited and a new manufacturing plant is set up in Faridabad on

    the outskirts of Delhi. In 1979 one of the largest and best equipped

    production facility was started near Sahibabad along with the formation

    of Dabur Research Foundation (DRF) signaling the launch of research

    operation in the pioneering area of health care. In 1986 Dabur became a

    public limited company and raised its first public issue in 1994 with the

    company share issued at a high premium and oversubscribed twenty

    one times. For better operation and management 3 separate divisions

    were created in 1996 according to the product mix, namely Health care

    products division, Family production division and Dabur ayurvedic

    specialties limited. In 1997 Dabur enters full scale in the nascent

    processed foods market with the creation of the food division. Project

    STARS(Strive to achieve record success is initiated to give a jump start

    to the company and accelerate its growth performance) and in 2000

    Dabur established its market leadership status with a turnover of Rs

    1000 Crores. From a small beginning and upholding the values of its

    founder, Dabur entered the august league of large corporate business.

    Dabur has also ventured into the specialized health care area of cancer

    treatment with its oncology formulation plant at Baddi in Himachal

    Pradesh and extended its global partnerships by entering into joint

    ventures with Osem of Israel for food and Bongrain of France for

    cheese and other dairy products.

    a takeover of Balsara India Limited and with interests in Health care,

    Personal care and Food products. Powerful brands like Dabur Amla, Dabur

    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE:-

    Good corporate governance and transparency in actions of the management is

    key to a strong bond of trust with the Companys stakeholders. Dabur

    Lean and active Board(reduced from 16 to 10 members)

    Less number of promoters on the Board

    More professionals and independent Directors for better management

    CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP

    When our Founder Dr. S. K. Burman first established Dabur, he had a vision

    that saw beyond the profit motive. In his words, "What is that life worth

    which cannot bring comfort to others." This ideal of a humane and equitable

    society led to initiatives taken to give back some part of what Dabur has

    gained from the community.

    Our major initiatives in the Social sector include:

    Establishment of the Sustainable Development Society, orSundesh, in

    1993 - a non-profit organisation to promote research and welfare

    activities in rural areas;

    Promoting health and hygiene amongst the underpriviledged through

    theChunni Lal Medical Trust; and

    Organising thePlant for Life programmeforschoolchildren - to create

    environmental awareness amongst young minds.

    Ancient wisdom of conservation

    From times immemorial, Indian sages and men of wisdom have understood

    and appreciated the value of nature and its conservation. Our ancestors

    recognised that if we grabbed from nature beyond what was healthy, it

    would lead to all round degradation, and even the extinction of humanity.

    That is why nature was sanctified and worshipped in the form of gods and

    goddesses.

    Dabur upholds the tradition

    Today, we at Dabur also value nature's bounty. Without the fruits of nature,

    the vision of Dabur would never have been fulfilled. And that is the reason

    for our unfailing commitment to ecological conservation and regeneration.

    We would like to follow the principles of our ancient texts, which say:

    "Dehi me dadami te" - "you give me, and I give you".

    Back to Nature

    Rare herbs and medicinal plants are our most valuable resource, from which

    all our products are derived. Due to overexploitation of these resources and

    unsustainable practices, these plants and herbs are fast reaching the point of

    extinction. In view of this critical situation, Dabur has initiated some

    significant programmes for ecological regeneration and protection of

    endangered plant species.

    Plants for Life

    We have set up the "Plants for Life" project in the mountainous regions of

    the Himalayas. Under the project, a high-tech greenhouse facility has been

    set up for developing saplings of rare and endangered medicinal plants. Fully

    computer-controlled and monitored, this greenhouse maintains the highly

    critical environmental parameters required for their survival. We are also

    developing quality saplings of more than 20 herbs, 8 of them endangered,

    through micro propagation.

    In addition, satellite nurseries spread across mountain villages and contract

    cultivation of medicinal herbs helps in maintaining the ecological balance.

    These measures have also helped provide local cultivators the scientific

    knowledge for harvesting herbs and a steady source of income. So that they

    are not forced to exploit the environment to earn a livelihood.

    Living a Green Heritage

    These are significant steps that can contribute to a better world for coming

    generations. To whom we would like to bequeath a world not bereft of

    nature. But full of flowering and fruit bearing trees, animals, birds and

    humans living in good health and complete harmony.

    Dabur estimated that the southern region was contributing as alow as 7% to

    its overall growth. For this purpose, the south team adopted a three-phase

    approach. First it focused on the point of sale promotion and stocking

    practices. Second phase included better marketing efforts in terms of

    advertising and packaging. Finally, it envisioned customized product

    launches for the southern states. The completion of first two phases by 2005-

    06 resulted in increasing contribution to 10%.

    When we see the overall picture together it is very obvious that Dabur had

    followed an aggressive strategy.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    Industry Overview:

    As FMCG sector was struggling with the slow growth in the Indian economy.

    The middle class and the rural segments of the Indian population are the most

    promising market for FMCG, and give brand makers the opportunity to

    convert them to branded products. Most of the product categories like jams,

    toothpaste, skin care, shampoos, etc, in India, have low per capita

    consumption as well as low penetration level, but the potential for growth is

    huge.

    There is a huge growth potential for all the FMCG companies as the per

    capita consumption of almost all products in the country is amongst the

    lowest in the world. Again the demand or prospect could be increased further

    if these companies can change the consumer's mindset and offer new

    generation products. Earlier, Indian consumers were using non-branded

    apparel, but today, clothes of different brands are available and the same

    consumers are willing to pay more for branded quality clothes. It's the

    quality, promotion and innovation of products, which can drive many sectors.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    34/96

    Dabur is among the top five FMCG companies in India and is a herbal

    specialist. With a turnover of Rs. 19 billion (approx. US$ 420 million) in

    2005-2006, Dabur has brands like Dabur Amla, Dabur Chyawanprash,

    Vatika, Hajmola and Real. Asian Paints is enjoying a formidable presence in

    the Indian sub-continent, Southeast Asia, Far East, Middle East, South

    Pacific, Caribbean, Africa and Europe. Dabur decided to take numerous

    strategic initiatives, reorganize operations and improvise on its brand

    architecture beginning 2002. It decided to concentrate its marketing efforts on

    Dabur, Vatika, Anmol, Real and Hajmola to strengthen their brand equity,

    create differentiation and emerge as a pure FMCG player recognized as a

    herbal brand. This was chosen after a study with Accenture, which revealed

    that Dabur was mainly perceived as an Herbal brand and connected more

    with the age group above 35.

    The Indian Economy is surging ahead by leaps and bounds, keeping pace

    with rapid urbanization, increased literacy levels, and rising per capita

    income.

    Also, larger retailers were making their foray into the FMCG market. Apart

    from HLL, P&G, Marico and Himalya, ITC was also posing a challenge. The

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    35/96

    supply chain of Dabur was becoming complex because of the large array of

    products. Southern markets share in the sales figure was negligible. These

    factors posed a threat to Dabur and hence small changes were not enough.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    Analysis of FMCG Sector

    Strengths:

    Low operational costs Presence of established distribution networks in both urban and rural

    areas

    Presence of well-known brands in FMCG sector

    Weaknesses:

    Lower scope of investing in technology and achieving economies ofscale, especially in small sectors

    Low exports levels "Me-too" products, which illegally mimic the labels of the established

    brands. These products narrow the scope of FMCG products in rural

    and semi-urban market.

    Opportunities:

    Untapped rural market

    Rising income levels, i.e. increase in purchasing power of consumers Large domestic market- a population of over one billion. Export potential

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    37/96

    High consumer goods spendingThreats:

    Removal of import restrictions resulting in replacing of domesticbrands

    Slowdown in rural demand Tax and regulatory structure

    NEED OF THE STUDY:-

    product portfolio of Dabur India Limited. These are the following some

    importance of this research report as under:

    about the competitors.

    This report can be a secondary data for the Dabur.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    39/96

    OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:-

    The main objective of the report is Design strategy to increase the sales of

    NPD and ensure visibility in Ghaziabad

    To Design the any sales strategy for the new product we have to know the

    market scenario of the particular product. What is going in the market? To

    approach the placement of new product in the market the first level which is

    sales should be very effective. But the question is that how we approach that

    particular are.

    The strategy starts from the location and geographic area. Because if we are

    going to target rural market for premium product which would not work.

    Means that the right product at the right place should be.

    Dabur has a wide portfolio in its kitty dealing with products in every

    category- Skin care, Hair care, Home care, Health care, Baby care. With

    increasing competition and growing consumer needs we need to keep coming

    up with new products to cater to the consumers? Hence new products are the

    future growth drivers for Dabur. It is of utmost importance to us that the new

    products reach the consumers. We are looking at strategies to reach the

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    40/96

    consumers and make them aware of new products from Dabur ensuring that

    we do not get lost in the crowd brands from competition.

    Objectives:-

    I. Get an understanding of the product portfolio of DaburII. Guage the placement of NPDs in the market

    III. Design strategy to increase focus on and sales of NPDsIV. Design strategy to improve visibility of NPDs understanding

    competition.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:-

    Research Description

    The type of research here is Exploratory Research Design. This kind of

    design is used for more precise investigation or of developing the working

    hypotheses from an operational point of view. It has inbuilt flexibility, which

    is needed because the research problem, broadly defined initially, is

    transformed into one with more precise meaning in exploratory studies,

    which in fact may necessitate changes in research procedure for gathering

    relevant data.

    The characteristic features of research are as follows:

    Flexible DesignNon-Probability Sampling DesignNo pre-planned design for analysis Unstructured instruments for collection of dataNo fixed decisions about the operational procedures

    Data Sources

    The data gathering can be from secondary data, primary data or both.

    Secondary data are data that are collected for another purpose and already

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    42/96

    exist somewhere. Primary data are data freshly gathered for a specific

    purpose or for a specific research project.

    The cost incurred in collecting primary data is more than secondary data. The

    secondary data available orally in this research, therefore whole data is

    collected primarily.

    Research Approaches

    Primary Data can be collected in four ways:

    Observational Research Questionnaire for retailers Behavioral Data Experiments

    In Observational Research, fresh data can be gathered by observing the

    relevant factors & settings. An environment is created to judge the response

    of respondents in that situation.

    Questionnaires are best suited for descriptive research. Companies undertake

    surveys to learn about peoples knowledge, beliefs, preferences, and

    satisfaction, and to measure the magnitudes in the general population.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    43/96

    Behavioral data is collected from the visits to shops, where the customers

    come & leave traces of their purchasing behavior in store scanning data,

    catalog purchases, and customer databases.

    Experimental Research is the most significantly valid research among all

    above. It studies the cause & effect relationships by eliminating competing

    explanations of observed findings.

    The research approach in this research is followed is of survey. Here the

    movement in to the markets of different areas, meet the franchisees, retailers,

    & customers, find their thinking & attitude regarding this huge cards, gifts &

    stationery market, fill questionnaires from them & even personally if the shop

    owners dont have time.

    Research Instruments

    There is a choice of mainly three instruments in collecting primary data:

    Questionnaires

    Psychological Tools

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    44/96

    Questionnaire consists of a set of questions presented to respondents.

    Because of its flexibility, the questionnaire is by far the most common

    instrument used to collect primary data. Questionnaires need to be carefully

    developed, tested & debugged before they are administered on a large scale.

    Psychological Tools such as laddering techniques, depth interviews &

    rorshach tests can probe a buyers deeper beliefs & feelings. Laddering

    involves the points set in ascending order, Depth Interview involves the

    questioning deeply, & rorshach involves some kind of pictures

    representation, graphs etc. to check the perception of respondent.

    Sampling

    Sampling Plan

    Sampling can be defined as the technique through which an idea can be

    generated out of whole market by taking just a small part of it. The sampling

    process has the following steps:

    Define the population Establish the frame of population Choose method of sampling Determine the sample size

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    45/96

    Write instructions for identification of sampleUnder this process, the sampling plan has to be designed. This plan deals

    with basically three decisions:

    Sampling UnitWho is to be surveyed? Sample SizeHow many people should be surveyed? Sampling ProcedureHow should the respondents be chosen?

    Sampling Unit By the sampling unit, the target market has to be defined

    that will be sampled. Once the sampling unit has been determined, a

    sampling frame must be developed so that everyone in the target population

    has an equal or known chance of being sampled.

    The sampling unit in this research of retailers from Ghaziabad.

    Sample Size Large Samples give more reliable results than small samples.

    However, it is not necessary to sample the entire target population or even a

    substantial portion to achieve the reliable results. Samples of less than 1

    percent of a population can often provide a good reliability.

    In this research researcher was collected 200 retailers base from different

    area of Ghaziabad.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    46/96

    In this research, Random Sampling is followed. The common group here is of

    retailers.

    Contact Methods

    Once the sampling plan has been determined, the decision now is to taken

    regarding how the subject should be contacted:

    Telephone

    Personal

    Telephone interviewing is best method for gathering information quickly; the

    interviewer is also able to clarify questions if respondents dont understand

    them.

    Personal Interviewing is most versatile method. The interviewer can ask more

    questions and record additional observations about the respondent, such as

    dress & body language.

    New Product Development:-

    New product development (NPD) is the term used to describe the complete

    process of bringing a new product or service to market.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    47/96

    A company may find itself in a situation where it may be advisable to

    develop a new product. When sales of its current range of products have been

    declining over the past few years or when it receives complaints about its

    products from customers, distributors, retailers, it may have to find the

    possible reasons for the same. This may lead to the improvement of the

    existing product or the development of an altogether new product. As we

    know, the concept of product life cycle suggests that a product passes through

    different stages. When a company finds that some of its products have

    entered the declining stage, it may have to take concrete measures to replace

    them. This can be achieved in two ways:-

    Acquisition

    Innovation

    We are concerned here with the latter which can be broadly of two types:

    Internal innovation Contract innovation

    New product development can be carried out in one of the following ways:

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    48/96

    New product features can be developed by adapting, modifying,magnifying, minimizing, substituting, rearranging or combining the

    existing features of a product.

    LIMITATIONS:-

    In spite of making all my efforts to make the dissertation a perfect one there

    are certain limitations in the study, which are felt while writing the report.

    As the study is an exploratory one designed to find new hypothesis, readers

    are not suggested to conclude the result. The study suffers from the basic

    limitations of the possibilities of difference between what is recorded and

    what is true.

    1. The first problem I faced is in getting the co-operation of the retailers.Many of the respondents I approached did not agree to the need and

    utility of surveys and hence did not agree to provide me with

    information.

    2. The second problem faced by me was in getting the required secondarydata, sorting them, photocopying and organizing them according to my

    need.

    3. There has lack of time and financial resources prevented theinvestigator from carrying out an in depth study.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    52/96

    4. The findings of the survey are based on the subjective opinion of therespondents and there is no way of assessing the truth of the statements.

    5. As the sample size of the survey was so small and comprise of only 200customers, the survey may be biased, as its not representing the whole

    Ghaziabad.

    54/96

    The major marketing management decisions can be classified in one

    of the following four categories:

    Product Price Place (distribution) Promotion

    These variables are known as the marketing mix or the 4 P's of marketing. They

    are the variables that marketing managers can control in order to best satisfy

    customers in the target market. The marketing mix is portrayed in the following

    diagram:

    Product

    The product is the physical product or service offered to the consumer. In the case of physical products, it also refers to any services or

    conveniences that are part of the offering.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    55/96

    Product decisions include aspects such as function, appearance, packaging,service, warranty, etc.

    Price

    Pricing decisions should take into account profit margins and the probablepricing response of competitors.

    Pricing includes not only the list price, but also discounts, financing, andother options such as leasing.

    Place

    Place (or placement) decisions are those associated with channels ofdistribution that serve as the means for getting the product to the target

    customers.

    The distribution system performs transactional, logistical, and facilitatingfunctions.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    56/96

    Distribution decisions include market coverage, channel member selection,logistics, and levels of service.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    57/96

    Promotion

    Promotion decisions are those related to communicating and selling topotential consumers.

    Since these costs can be large in proportion to the product price, a break-even analysis should be performed when making promotion decisions.

    It is useful to know the value of a customer in order to determine whetheradditional customers are worth the cost of acquiring them.

    Promotion decisions involve advertising, public relations, media types, etc.

    DESCRIPTIVE WORK ON SUBTOPIC OF STUDY:-

    Sales promotion

    A good definition of sales promotion would be as follows:

    An activity designed to boost the sales of a product or service. It may

    include an advertising campaign, increased PR activity, a free-sample

    campaign, offering free gifts or trading stamps, arranging demonstrations or

    exhibitions, setting up competitions with attractive prizes, temporary price

    reductions, door-to-door calling, telemarketing, personal letters on other

    methods.

    In marketing, sales promotion is one of the four aspects ofpromotion. (The

    other three parts of the promotional mix are advertising, personal selling, and

    publicity/public relations.)

    Sales promotions are non-personal promotional efforts that are designed to

    have an immediate impact on sales.

    Sales promotion involves short-term incentives to encourage buyers to

    purchase a product.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    65/96

    It's aim is to encourage immediate purchase of a product. If used too often

    however, sales promotion can create a situation where consumers will not

    buy unless there is a bonus offer. This will result in loss of profit for the

    company.

    More than any other element of the promotional mix, sales promotion is

    about action. It is about stimulating customers to buy a product. It is not

    designed to be informativea role which advertising is much better suited to.

    Sales promotion can be directed at:

    The ultimate consumer (a pull strategy encouraging purchase)

    The distribution channel (a push strategy encouraging the channels to

    stock the product). This is usually known as selling into the trade

    METHODS OF SALES PROMOTION

    Price promotionsPrice promotions are also commonly known as pricediscounting

    These offer either (1) a discount to the normal selling price of a product, or

    (2) more of the product at the normal price.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    66/96

    Increased sales gained from price promotions are at the expense of a loss in

    profitso these promotions must be used with care.

    CouponsCoupons are another, very versatile, way of offering a discount.

    The examples of the use of coupons:

    - On a pack to encourage repeat purchase

    - In coupon books sent out in newspapers allowing customers to redeem the

    coupon at a retailer

    - A cut-out coupon as part of an advertisement

    The key objective with a coupon promotion is to maximise the redemption

    ratethis is the proportion of customers actually using the coupon.

    One problem with coupons is that they may simply encourage customers to

    buy what they would have bought anyway. Another problem occurs when

    retailers do not hold sufficient stocks of the promoted productcausing

    customer disappointment.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    67/96

    Use of coupon promotions is, therefore, often best for new products or

    perhaps to encourage sales of existing products that are slowing down.

    Gift with purchaseThe gift with purchase is a very common promotional technique. It is also

    known as a premium promotion in that the customer gets something in

    addition to the main purchase.

    This type of promotion is widely used for:

    - Subscription-based products (e.g. magazines)

    - Consumer luxuries (e.g. perfumes)

    Competitions and prizesAnother popular promotion tool with many variants. Most competition and

    prize promotions are subject to legal restrictions.

    Money refundsHere, a customer receives a money refund after submitting a proof of

    purchase to the manufacturer.

    These schemes are often viewed with some suspicion by customers

    particularly if the method of obtaining a refund looks unusual.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    68/96

    Frequent user / loyalty incentivesRepeat purchases may be stimulated by frequent user incentives. Perhaps the

    best examples of this are the many frequent flyer or user schemes used by

    airlines, train companies, car hire companies etc.

    Point-of-sale displaysResearch into customer buying behaviour in retail stores suggests that a

    significant proportion of purchases results from promotions that customers

    see in the store. Attractive, informative and well-positioned point-of-sale

    displays are, therefore, very important part of the sales promotional activity

    in retail outlets.

    There are three main types of sales promotion:

    Consumer promotions Trade promotions Sales force promotions

    Consumer promotions are often used to try and condition the way

    consumers behave. They are usually short term inducements to encourage

    people to buy. For example, trial packs, buy one get one free, contests.

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    69/96

    Trade promotions are directed at intermediaries and are intended to increase

    sales in the distribution channel.

    Sales force promotion is directed at the personal selling team and is

    intended to be an incentive.

    Examples include:

    Coupons Discounts And Sales Contests Point Of Purchase Displays Rebates Gifts And Incentive Items Free Travel, Such As Free Flights

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    70/96

    Consumer promotion tools include samples, redeemable coupons, cash-

    back offers, cents-off deals, premium offers, advertising specialities,

    patronage rewards, point-of-purchase displays and demonstrations, contests,

    sweepstakes and games.

    Trade promotion directed to wholesalers, retailers and other intermediaries

    can often cost more than consumer promotion. Trade promotions often occur

    in conjunction with consumer sales promotions. Trade promotion tools

    include allowances, free goods or push money (cash or incentives).

    Business to Business promotion is directed at customers in industrial

    markets. Marketers use tools such as conventions (exhibitions), trade shows

    and sales contests to gain awareness for their company's products or to

    increase sales leads. For example, food and beverage companies from all over

    the world gather at the Annual International Food and Beverage Exhibition to

    display their products, increase awareness and sales.

    The sales and marketing relationship

    Marketing and sales are very different, but have the same goal. Marketing

    improves the selling environment and plays a very important role in sales. If

    the marketing department generates a potential customers list, it can be

    beneficial for sales. The marketing department's goal is to increase the

    number of interactions between potential customers and the sales team using

    promotional techniques such as advertising, sales promotion, publicity, and

    public relations, creating new sales channels, or creating new products (new

    product development), among other things.

    In most large corporations, the marketing department is structured in a

    similar fashion to the sales department and the managers of these teams must

    coordinate efforts in order to drive profits and business success. For example,

    an "inbound" focused campaign seeks to drive more customers "through the

    door" giving the sales department a better chance of selling their product to

    the consumer. A good marketing program would address any potential

    downsides as well.

    The Sales department's goal would be to improve the interaction between the

    customer and the sales facility or mechanism (example, web site) and/or

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    74/96

    salesperson. Sales management would break down the selling process and

    then increase the effectiveness of the discrete processes as well as the

    interaction between processes. For example, in many out-bound sales

    environments, the typical process is out bound calling, the sales pitch,

    handling objections, opportunity identification, and the close. Each step of

    the process has sales-related issues, skills, and training needs as well as

    marketing solutions to improve each discrete step, as well as the whole

    process.

    Merchandising:-

    Merchandising is more than simply the arrangement of products on the shelf.

    It is an integral component of the business image. It should be considered

    when you design your logo, business cards, brochures, letterhead, packaging,

    and product mix

    Merchandising is the practice of making products in retail outlets available to

    consumers, primarily by stocking shelves and displays. While this used to be

    done exclusively by the stores' employees, many retailers have found

    substantial savings in requiring it to be done by the manufacturer, vendor, or

    wholesaler that provides the products to the retail store. Merchandising is the

  • 7/30/2019 RENU Project

    75/96

    methods, practices, and operations used to promote and sustain certain

    categories of commercial activity

    As a whole, daburs product visibility is good in the market. Dabur has such a wide product portfolio that it is very difficult to have

    visibility for every product.

    HUL and P & G are focusing more on the visibility issue. Almost every retailer is having display window of HUL and P & G. HUL is paying the highest amount for the display window hired by the

    company.

    Daburs rates for the display windows are very low as compared to thecompetitor and the market.

    Salesmen of Dabur are not paying extra effort to place new products ofDabur.

    Visit of Daburs merchandiser is not so good.

    P & G is having the most visits by its merchandiser (3 times in a week). Proper information of schemes is not given by the salesperson of

    Dabur, where HUL is best at this.

    In shampoo range P&G is best, HUL is also good. In shampoo range, P & G is giving maximum schemes to the retailers.

    RECOMMENDATIONS:-

    Dabur should have more effort on the frequent visit of its merchandiser. Display window rate should be increased by the company to compete

    the market.

    Damage and expiry claim should be settled smoothly by the companyto make a positive impact on the retailers.

    The company should start promotion campaign at the micro-level byincreasing the visit of companys representatives to the retailers.

    The company should work collaboratively with the distributors ineffective manner towards focusing on the area where there is a potential

    market for Daburs product and target that area.

    During my project this fact become clear that the customer are not wellaware about the all products of Dabur, so through the strong

    advertisement company should try to increase the awareness of the

    Dabur products.

    Promotional Schemes should be more on the new products of Dabur toincrease its sale.

    There should be proper approach for the display window by thecompany.
