It is like a homework task that a good advertising/marketing/sales person would always carry out before (and after) implementing the said product's advertising/marketing strategy. By collecting data with the help of research methods, the researcher can manage to understand the consumer, what he wants, when he wants it, and how he wants it. Research methodologies, more or less, aim to reveal consumers’ different perceptions of the product, in large part about the way it is advertised. The researcher wants to know how effective the advertisement is on his listeners, where the strategy falls short, and where it can improve. Ultimately, it can be said that the most important task of advertising/marketing research is to increase the sales of the product. This requires a well developed marketing plan, a good know-how of the prospective consumer, and most of all an effective and rational research methodology. MARKET RESEARCH Market research...

...1) Introduction to the research topic In recent times business environment has changed at the very rapidly. Effect of globalization and liberalization of global economy have changed the functional areas of business. In recent years due to high market competition, various new techniques of business development and marketing have been developed. Use of latest technology for developing business has given birth to E-retail. E-retailing, also known as e-tailing is nothing but shopping through the internet. It is the process whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a seller, without an intermediary service, over the internet. It is a way by which the retailer displays the array of products over a website so that the customer can view, analysis and order merchandise directly through interactive network or by telephone communication. The merchandise is then delivered to the customers address. The process is called Business-to-Consumer (B2C) online shopping. In present times the concept of e-retail has developed and some of global players of e-retail are e-bay, Amazon and flipkart where various products are sold online and can be bought easily. E-retail is more about selling merchandise that can be sold easily and attacks a large mass of customers. This technique is cost effective and gives rise to immense business opportunity. Support Services in E-Retailing The retail business can only be successful if it has appropriate support services. Support services are...

...INDUSTRY OVERVIEW 1.1. WRIST WATCH INDUSTRY Wrist Watches form an integral part of the personality of individuals in the present era. Earlier seen as a luxury item, they are now witnessing a fundamental change in perception, and are now gaining respect as an essential utility item. For the watch industry, time seems in its favour what with the liberalization of the Indian market coupled with the rising purchasing power of the young and consumerist Indians. Indian watches market was for long dominated by public sector organisations like Hindustan Machine Tools Ltd. (HMT) and Allwyn (also famous for its refrigerators once upon a time!), and has now left the pioneers far behind or nowhere in market by private sector enterprises like Titan, Sonata, Ajanta and Timex along with foreign entities jostling for display space in the smallest of shops selling these products. Before the establishment of HMT as the dominant player in the Indian markets initially, the country was solely dependent on imports to meet the internal demand. However, establishment of HMT as the leading player in the wrist watch segment in the 1960’s, changed the scenario. In post liberalization India, the market stood to witness intensive competition between foreign and Indian manufacturers like Timex, Titan, Movado, Longines, Rado, Rolex, Fréderique Constant, Mont Blanc, Swatch, and many others. Many watch makers have made significant inroads in the industry and others are in the process of establishing themselves...

...marketing strategies to tap this huge mass of consumers. Of India's one billion plus population, nearly 70 per cent live in non-urban or rural areas. According to a National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCAER) study, there are as many "middle income and above" households in rural areas as there are in urban areas. There are almost twice as many "lower middle income" households in rural areas as in urban. According to NCAER's projections, the number of middle and high-income households in rural India is expected to grow from 80 million to 111 million by 2007. In Urban India, the same is expected to grow from 46 million to 59 million. Hence the absolute size of middle and high income households in Rural India is expected to be nearly double that of Urban India. Percentage Distribution of household population and income | |Households |Population |Income | |Rural |73.6 |74.6 |55.6 | |Urban |27.4 |25.4 |44.4 | |All India |100 |100 |100 | Thus we see that Rural India contributes almost 56% to the National Income as against 44% contributed by Urban India.

Most students entering our colleges and universities today are younger than the microcomputer, are more comfortable working on a keyboard than writing in a spiral notebook, and are happier reading from a computer screen than from paper in hand. It is important to note that these technologies such as cable television, the Internet, laptop computers, and mobile devices were not always readily available for previous generations. Due to these technological advancements being ever-present in our lives one may assume differences exist between those whom have grown up immersed in the technologies and those whom have not been born into this technological immersion. Today’s average college graduates have spent less than 5,000 hours of their lives reading, over 10,000 hours playing video games, and an incredible 20,000 hours viewing television within the first 20 years of their lives. These readily available technological advancements from a young age create different experiences, which lead to different brain structures than previous generations that did not have these technological advancements. Different groups of consumers have various television...

...Thesis Proposal Table of Contents: * Introduction * Literature Review * Research Hypothesis and Design * Data Analysis and Testing Hypothesis * References Introduction O mankind! Eat and drink all that is Halal (lawful) and Tayyib (wholesome and pure) (Al-Qur'an 2: 168) Muslims today form a majority or significant populations in 57 countries; at 1.8 billion consumers, creating a largely untapped global opportunity. The concept of halal in foods seems to capture an appetite for purity which goes well beyond a religious franchise. in 2010, Muslim market was viewed as a critically important playground for marketers, with the halal segment worth $2.1 trillion, and growing by $500 billion annually due to the growth of the global Muslim population. In 2008, Gallup conducted a poll across 143 countries and territories asking whether religion was an important part of daily life. Those who said religion is important in their daily lives were 82%. Several authors agree that consumers evaluate a brand through a wide variety of perceptual judgments; for example its reliability, or how comfortable they feel with it, or whether it is better than some other brand. Recent research has demonstrated that the characteristics of brand names cognitively affect product evaluations (Argo, Popa, and Smith, 2010). Interest in ethical consumerism is rising with increase in sales of brand halal and kosher-certified...

...Question 3 Choose a brand where its core product is primarily for kids e.g. The Wiggles, Thomas and Friends, Hello Kitty etc. Write a paper on how it has diffused throughout the product categories and how it has extended to other categories as well. Do a case study of its success (or failure) and how it has changed the landscape of product innovations. For example, Thomas and friends has clothes, stationery, household products, jewellery etc. *** She is a successful independent woman, who lives in a world of pink, where she owns a dream house in Malibu. Every day, she wears high-heels to work, and even runs a fashion chain under her name. For many, she was the influential icon of American culture in the late 20th century. Until now, I dare say that her image is still very potent worldwide. Who is she? Never before has she ever starred in a Hollywood movie or performed at a famous fashion show. Surprisingly, she never exists in real life and she is literally a toy. Yes, it can hardly be any other toy but Barbie. Nowadays, girls can be seen wearing Barbie clothing, using Barbie perfume, carrying Barbie backpacks, and sleeping in Barbie pajamas, not to mention cosmetics, sneakers etc. (Morgenson 1991, 66). Mattel, Inc., the mother company of Barbie, should feel proud of her. Because on average, an American girl has ten Barbie dolls, a British or Italian girl may own seven, while five is the number of Barbie that a German or French girl has. It was Mattel’s purpose and will...
