Brand a#areness is the consumersD ability to recognise or recall (identify)
the brand #ithin a gien product category in sufficient detail to ma+e a purchase
decision! This also means that the consumers can propose, recommend, choose, or use
the brand! The objecties of most adertising campaign are to create and maintain
brand preference! The first step is to ma+e potential consumers a#are of a brandsD
e"istence!
2ne of the prominent goals of any business should be to build brand image
and a#areness of its product, albeit in as cost E effectie manner as possible! Consumer
tends to ma+e purchasing decision based on peer recommendation and direct
e"perience, as #ell traditional adertising methods!
The project aims to#ards increasing the brand a#areness since its one of the
effectie tool to effect the final purchase decision and the olume of sales! I had used
the topic to find out or measure the brand a#areness leel among the customers and the
#ays to increase its a#areness!

LAUNCHING OF MAHINDRA
XYLO
To build a car that has eerything the customerDs #ants, it is essential to
understand #hat he #ants first!
8/10/2019 33324701-a-project-report-on-brand-awarness-120307014830-phpapp02-140628092409-phpapp01

This had been the basic principle behind the 3ylo! They started #ith the
customer! To this end they spent time #ith car users, across the country, obsering their
interaction #ith cars! ?e #atched ho# they entered ehicles, #hat they did inside, #hat
they loo+ed for! They noted do#n complaints and identified need gaps!
And then they started building the 3ylo from the inside out! This is the first time
in India #here passenger compartment #as designed #ell before the e"teriors of the car!
%ery single learning #as incorporated on a #ooden buc+ (a moc+ car interior #ith
instrumental panel, steering #heel and seats)! This #as then tested #ith car customers
for further feedbac+ and only after integrating eery desired feature into interior did #e
start #ith the e"terior!
The result #as a car that #as fluent in form and function! A car that #as truly
#orld class and a car that #as in sync #ith the peoples re1uirements!
a+ing the ahindra 3ylo meant challenging the limitations of eery car before
it! It meant determining the needs of our consumers and pioneering technologies to
meet those needs! The ahindra 3ylo #as meant to be built around you, out of your
needs!

in these gaps and the result #as IndiaDs first car to be built out! %ery need #as catered
to, eery re1uirement met and once the interiors #ere done, the e"teriors began!
A lot of research and deelopment has gone into bringing the ahindra 3ylo

OB%ECTI$ES OF THE STUDY
The main objectie of any business is to ac1uire larger mar+et share ,or higher
percentage of sales in the Industry, This could be only achieed by building a higher
percentage of brand loyal customers!
Any company can surie through the stiff competition of the mar+et if its has
brand loyal customer! Today many major companies in the mar+et has brand loyal
customers and they adopt many strategies to maintain and improe there branded
e1uity! ?ithout creating a proper Brand a#areness they cannot build brand image!
trong brands help build the corporate image and also by ma+ing it eager for the

company'more oer brand e1uity are major contributor to customer e1uity! This all can
happen only there is proper brand a#areness!

CONCLUSION
Accomplishing this project on brand a#areness #as an e"cellent and +no#ledge
gaining e"perience for me! $espite small sample si-e for 1uestionnaire this project
helped me to +no# the ie# of customer and common people to#ards the brand
a#areness of ahindra 3ylo!
Brands are no# a central feature of consumer mar+eting, they are important in building
long'term relationships #ith the consumer, irrespectie of the type of mar+et! Their
8/10/2019 33324701-a-project-report-on-brand-awarness-120307014830-phpapp02-140628092409-phpapp01

importance is no# also being recogni-ed in other mar+ets including serice and
industrial! Inesting in a brand builds consumer confidence and loyalty and allo#s for
brand stretching! It re1uires a consistent and long'term strategy! 2nly a fe# brands hae
emerged as truly global!
In conclusion I #ould say that the brand (ahindra 3ylo) is 1uite +no#n to
peoples! ahindra 3ylo has built its brand a#areness among a relatiely large number
of people in an around siliguri! The customers are a#are largely of the product #ith the
help of Teleision and 9oardings and the product still has a #ay to increase its
adertising channels to reach the relatiely large number of people! The products
adertising in the hill stations around siliguri is relatiely less and also its a#areness!
At last I #ould li+e to than+ my project co'ordinator r! uamay Bho#mic+ and the
sales manager for their guidance and support!
I #ould also li+e to than+ all the people #ho hae been so co'operatie through out the
surey!

FINDINGS
The follo#ing details can be inferred after analysis #ith a simple si-e of >7 #hich
included customers, by 1uestionnaire method to find out the brand a#areness to#ards
ahindra 3ylo #ith reference to .ho+an otors!
The a#areness leel of ahindra 3ylo in an around iliguri is 1uite high!

The promotional strategy of ahindra 3ylo is effectie in the form of electronic
media and mass media
ost of the customers are a#are of adertising campaign that are being conducted
by ahindra 3ylo!
Brand a#areness has a real and isible impact in the buying behaiour of the people!
Though the customers are haing good a#areness leels regarding the product they
are not in a frame of mind to purchase it because of arious reasons!
ahindra 3ylo is facing a tough competition from the competitors #ith the same
+ind of products!
The scale of adertising to promote ahindra 3ylo is not satisfactory and has to
implement the arious medium to offer adertising of the product!
I.T. CENTRE, N.B.U Page 35
SUGGESTIONS
uggestions are done on the basis of finding and analysis of data collected
through 1uestionnaire&'
In order to promote sale in highly competitie auto mar+et attractie schemes
such as cash discount, complementary gift, luc+y dra#s, etc! can be gien to the
customers!
8/10/2019 33324701-a-project-report-on-brand-awarness-120307014830-phpapp02-140628092409-phpapp01

Customers should be contacted at a regular interal through phone calls and free
sericing of the cars to as+ them if they are facing any problems #ith the car as
because post sale #ith the customers may be ery important to maintain
customers satisfaction!
Adertising plays a ery important role n increasing the a#areness and in
reminding the customer about the products and serices offered by ahindra
3ylo! 9ence adertisement about the firm and its products and serices must be
aired on local T!< channels as #ell as in ne#spapers and maga-ines!
ince the people tends to forget the adertising of a particular product a reminder
message has to be enforced in a regular interal and in a proper media #hich
#ould reach a large number of potential customers!
As from the inference #e can see that the most important criteria for selection of
the car is its performance #hich includes price, mileage, speed, bra+ing
efficiency, maintenance, etc! There #ould be definite increase in the sale of the
car if this point #ould be loo+ed into and improed!
