INTRODUCTION

Usually it is said that if marketing would be a train, than market research would be the locomotive. In other words, market research should ideally be the starting point on any marketing exercise. Conducting any marketing exercise- be it related to pricing, promotion or distribution of a product or service. Without researching the potential market is as sensible as setting out sell sand in the Sahara Desert.

Market research provides the answers to all the questions that generally occupy the minds of marketers, at every stage of the marketing process.

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 at20%. 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 than in developed countries. The outsourcing business amounts to almost for the 8% industry and this figure is doubling in value every year.

Service Quality Service quality is not easy to measure in a precise manner. The nature and characteristics of services can have an impact on quality issues: There are many definitions of Service quality,

The customer’s overall judgment of service quality can be an evaluation of both the process and the outcome, compared with the customer’s own expectations and desired benefits. This leads to an important idea in assessing quality from a services marketing perspective: perceived service quality.

Perceived service quality represents the customer’s judgment of an organization’s service based on their overall experience of the service . Understanding how customers arrive at this judgment - that is to say, how they decide whether or not they are satisfied with Eureka Forbes service - is very important for services quality management.

Determinate of Service Quality:

1. Reliability: The ability to perform the promised service dependably and accurately.

2. Responsiveness: The willingness to help customer and to provide prompt service.

3. Assurance: The knowledge and courtesy of employees and their ability to convey trust and confidence.

4. Empathy: The provision of caring, individualized attention to customers.

5. Tangibles: The appearance of physical facilities, equipment, personnel, and communication material.

That products that are designed and introduce via the step in a structured planning framework have a grater likelihood of ultimate success than those not developed within a framework,. The fact that services are intangible makes it even more imperative for a new service development system to have four basic characteristic

1. It must be objective, not subjective.

2. It must be precise, not vague

3. It must be fact driven, not opinion driven

4. It must be methodological, not philosophical?

Customer Focus

Quality begins with customer and also ends with them. Day’s when organisation and customers were treated as two different entities. The marketplace has become very competitive, and it is no longer possible to run a business without strong focus on the customer . Show this relationship.

Customer

Page 13: Siddhartha Acharya, PGDM, 3rd Sem(Summer Project)

Identification Of Customer Group

Defines a customer as “one who purchase a product or service”. There are two types of customers internal and external.

An external customer exists outside the organization and buys its product and services. Employees in the organization must know how their jobs enhance the total satisfaction of the external customer.

An internal customer as important as the external customer.

External customers are people who ultimately consume the final product like the common people. Internal customers include each employee working in the organization.

Customer Perception Of Quality

One of the basic concept of the service quality is continuous process improvement. The concept implies that there is no acceptable quality level because the customer’s needs, values and expectation are constantly changing and becoming more dependent. These are :

Performance

Feature

Service

Warranty

Price

Reputation

Customer Feedback

PageNo-13

Page 14: Siddhartha Acharya, PGDM, 3rd Sem(Summer Project)

1) Discover customer dissatisfaction

2) Discover the relative priorities of quality

3) Compare its performance with competition

4) Identify customer needs.

5) Determine opportunities for improvement.

Comment Cards

A low cost method of obtaining customer feedback involves a comment card, is attached to the warranty card and include with the time of purchase. The intent of the card is to get simple information such as name, address, age, occupation and the factors

Survey

This tool is in the form of a questionnaire where the customer is asked to furnish answer relating to the quality of product and services. To make survey more useful must be remember the following:

1. Customer are not the same

2. Survey raise the customer expectation

3. The more specific the question

4. Before the data is collected, you know how you want to analysis and use it.

Focus Groups

A focus groups is a research method use to find out what the customer are really thinking. A group of customer is assembled in ameeting room to answer a series of question. The moderator, understands clearly the type of information that must be elicited and a plain to obtain it. Meetings are designed tofocus on the current, proposed and future product and services.

Page 15: Siddhartha Acharya, PGDM, 3rd Sem(Summer Project)

Toll Free service Phone number 3988 3333 are an effective technique for receiving complaints. Organisations can respond faster to the complaint without incurring a lot of expenses. Such a number does not, however, reach those who decide not to buy the product or thosee who discover some likeable features in a competitor’s product. Toll free number are used by, at least, 50 percent of organisation with sales of at least $10 million.

Customer Visits

Visit to a customer’s place of business provides another way of gathering information. An organization can pro-actively monitor the performance of its product while it is in use. It can, thereby identify any specific problems. Senior managers should be involved in these visits and not delegate them to someone else. However it is a good idea to take along operating personnel so that they can see first and how the product is performing.

Report Card

Another very effective tool is the report card. It is usually sent to each customer on a quality basis. Data is analyzed to determine areas for improvement.

Marketing Strategies Analysis.

EUREKA FORBES is now looking to strengthen its position through a slew of new launches. According to Mr. S.k. palekar, senior vice-president, marketing, Eureka Forbes Ltd, “although Eureka Forbes is the market leader in both the categories (with a market share of over 80 percent in both the air purifier and

vacuum cleaner segment), the company’s new products will be targeted at different segments of people”.

For instance, the new aqua guard nova priced at Rs. 7600 will be targeted at people who have already had an aqua guard in their house for more than a year(that is approximately a million people). The product has electronic features such as an indicator which will indicate when it is time to get the servicing done. Other launches on the anvil include a softener model (for area which get hard water), an arsenice removal model, an iron removal model, a fluoride removing model (for up and Gujarat) and aqua power, which can run

without electricity. A similar strategy is being put in place for vacuum cleaner as well. However the company will not be venturing into new product segments. Currently it has products in water and air purifier, vacuum cleaner and security system segment. Says Mr. palekar, “we would like to focus on the segment we are present in an strengthen our position their”.

Environment

The intention of the institute is not to play role of an activist; but to concentrate on two of the most important environmental factors namely “Water and Air“, to leverage the expertise of its parent company, i.e., Eureka Forbes Ltd. For doing social good towards society, to have non commercial interaction with leading social bodies in achieving its goal and put maximum efforts in conserving the root of my living existence, i.e., Water and Air.

Milestones

In a short span of its inception, Eureka Forbes Institute of Environment (EFIF) has achieved some major milestones, like…

(A) Tie up with NDTV

EFIE generates and supplies data to NDTV for an on screen plug which is then produced into “Report” by NDTV and supplied to Star News for a fee, who in turn telecasts the same “Report” to the cable owners for a change.

The result of this consequent with NDTV has been…

That there was a debate in Delhi on CNG application resulting.

PageNo-55

Page 56: Siddhartha Acharya, PGDM, 3rd Sem(Summer Project)

In to formation of new rules.

Various school children have taken an oath to not buy or burn firecrackers.

There has also been a good amount of change in the attitude of the Government Pollution Boards, which was earlier skeptical, but now, has become more lenient and cooperative.

(B) Pollution watch Tests have been carried out in various cities

Across India such as…..

Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Guahati, Lucknow, Chandigarh.

Eureka Forbes Institute of Environment

It is a young and unique institute that was started in the year 2000. To gain quick visibility, it was launched through television. The main agenda behind starting this institute was to give knowledge about the various benefits that exceed cost on the issues related to “pollution Watch”.

As every journey has its destination, the ultimate destination of Eureka Forbes Institute of Environment is to be an institution that has a life of its own, its own vision, mission and philosophy; its manpower, space, infrastructure and resources; its own responsibility, reputation and credibility based on track record; its own set of committed core team workers and donor friends.

By own face and recognition, it means to gain media and public credibility by aligning its activists, mainly to its cause, distance itself from commercial work and other related causes, and to build a strong track record of social contribution and the activities related to such cause alignment.

PageNo-56

Page 57: Siddhartha Acharya, PGDM, 3rd Sem(Summer Project)

The Institute has built a strong mission, which says: -

To promote an AWARENESS of the benefits of conserving and managing the quality of our natural water and air resources. To do so by collecting and disseminating information/materials through our own resources or those of our like-minded allies who could be individuals, corporate, NGO’s, government of civic bodies.

To become an instrument of influencing Indian society and its constituents to act in a manner that reflects that these resources are not to legacy of our fore fathers that we can take for granted, but a loan we have taken from our grand children, to be repaid with interest.

To believe that the unpolluted water and air is the birth right of every Indian citizen.

Eureka Forbes is now a Case Study In Harvard Business School - Boston (USA), November 11, 2005

PageNo-66

Page 67: Siddhartha Acharya, PGDM, 3rd Sem(Summer Project)

Eureka Forbes is now a Case Study in Harvard Business School

Boston (USA) November 11, 2005 Eureka Forbes Limited, the pioneer of Direct Sales in India, entered the hallowed portals of Harvard Business School by joining the band of select companies which have become a case study in its MBA

classrooms. Today, 900 students at this globally recognized centre of business education, began studying a case based on Eureka Forbes, titled "Managing The Sales Effort" written by Professor Das Narayandas of this school; assisted by Senior

Researcher Kerry Hermann from the Global Research Group. Mr. Suresh Goklaney, Managing Director of Eureka Forbes, himself an alumnus, was in Boston today on invitation from the Harvard Business School and said "The 5500 salespersons working for Eureka Forbes - whom we fondly call Euro Champs - will be delighted that the unique and young company which they have created over the last 24 years has been found worthy by Harvard Business School to write a case study on". Eureka Forbes, about to go into its Silver Jubilee year, has notched up an impressive turnover of   Rs. 6.1 Billion (Rs. 610 Crores) selling premium life style products like water purifiers and vacuum cleaners which bring better health to the families of their customers. In the growing sunrise markets of water purification and vacuum cleaning, Eureka Forbes enjoys market shares upwards of 70% through its brands Aqua Guard and Euro Clean respectively. In the year 2004, Aqua Guard was chosen as a "Super brand" by a panel of eminent persons in the Indian industry. To achieve this success, it followed a marketing system very different from those adopted by most consumer product companies. It did not set up a dealer network to sell its products but it set up a "Direct Sales" system instead. The Harvard Business School case takes a look at this unique

PageNo-67

Page 68: Siddhartha Acharya, PGDM, 3rd Sem(Summer Project)

business model which creates value for the customers - not through pricing and discounting and offers as dealer network marketers do - but through a very different contact system, a different contact site, and a different company culture. Mr. Suresh Goklaney explained the uniqueness of the system as follows "Relationship Marketing may have become a buzzword now but we at Eureka Forbes started it 24 years ago. Our process of acquiring customers is not by luring them into the stores through discounts and offers but by contacting them in the comfort of their homes where it is possible for us to find them unhurried, where we can understand them and their circumstances and then suggest

appropriate solutions for their health and hygiene and safety needs. We then demonstrate how these solutions perform in their home conditions, answer every question they may have and we deliver these solutions right at their doorstep. Even the after sales service is provided at their doorstep. This is the difference between them and us".

Apart from achieving sales and profits, according to Mr. Suresh Goklaney, what may have impressed Harvard Business School, is "Over the last 24 years we have created a huge intangible asset of over 4 million customers who have welcomed us into their houses to see our demonstrations, to buy our products and then to get them serviced. They have seen us inside their homes! That is quite an exceptional example of relationship marketing, it is for reason that our slogan is 'Your friend for life'". The case study focuses on the innovative practices Eureka Forbes has employed in translating this philosophy of becoming friend for life, into actual operational practices. In particular the case explores whether sales force should be motivated by setting goals for the results of the sales efforts or for the efforts themselves. It explores how a superstructure of direct sales field force was built employing 5500 EuroChamps (salespersons fondly called so) who operate out of 150 offices of the company in about 100 cities; and the systems created for recruiting,

PageNo-68

Page 69: Siddhartha Acharya, PGDM, 3rd Sem(Summer Project)

inducting, training, motivating, compensating and leading them. In the year 2004, Eureka Forbes was recognised as the "16th Best Employer" of India in the Hewitt Survey. The vision of the company is "To create a happy, healthy and pollution free world based on long lasting customer relationships" and is realized not only through the sales force but also through a structure of 900 service locations. "For 80% of our customers, we have a service centre within 5 km radius". That is a tough act indeed for any competitor to duplicate. The efforts of the company in giving franchised service were recognized in 2005 through the "Best Franchisor" award it received. Mr. Suresh Goklaney said "We attribute our success to our unique culture and people orientation. The four pillars of our employee orientation are "Earning, Learning, Pride and Fun". We believe in developing business through developing people. We have an in-house "Academy of Learning" and also have tie-ups with business schools which help train our talent. To create a "Learning Organization" we created Knowledge Management function within the company just 4 years ago and feel amply rewarded by the journey because recently, at Seoul in Korea, we were given a MAKE (Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise) award for Asia"

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

PageNo-83

Page 84: Siddhartha Acharya, PGDM, 3rd Sem(Summer Project)

Every research is conducted under some constraints and this research is not an exception. Limitations of the study are as fallows:

The study is limited to the areas of KOlKATA.

The sample size of only 100 was taken from a large

population for the purpose of study, so the can be difference

results of the sample from total population.

Non availability of adequate data also limited the scope of

the study to some extent.

As the data was collected through the questionnaire, I faced

the limitation that respondents were unwilling to provide

information.

Consumer was reluctant to go into details because of their

busy schedules.

Due to continuous change in environment, what is relevant

today may be irrelevant tomorrow.
