Preface
The New World order studies states that there is a difference between Educations, Knowledge
and Learning.
Vocational training is therefore provided to Management students to bridge the gap between
what we study into the classroom, our own knowledge and the actual business environment.
A study has been done on the market potential mapping of different products of dermatologyduring my summer training at Haier India Pvt Ltd., Ghaziabad.
This project gives me an opportunity to study the concepts of Marketing as a whole and interact
with the dealers and sales & distributors along with people in the market.
In this attempt all the significant and important data has been scripted down specifically. Hope
that the project will be able to provide whatever has been expected from me.

1. Executive Summary:
In today’s market scenario there is dog bite dog competition therefor it is must for a company to
have full information about the opportunity and threat available in market. This enables the
company to exploit the fill potential of the market and to meet the customer’s need, want and
demand, so an effective research and analysis required on BRAND AWARENESS AND
BRAND VISION. After going through the complete profile of the Haier, I feel that company
required strong market survey on brand awareness and to boost the brand. It is always required to
have effective research to know the current position of the brand.
This project was undertaken for a period of around 5 weeks at Haier India Pvt. Ltd. for the partialfulfillment of the PGDM from ITS. The objective of the research is to find out the awareness,
market size, market potential, dealers and sales & distributors perception and the quality of the
Haier AC.
To complete this project a survey of dealers and sale & distributors are conducted in few city of
West Uttar Pradesh with the help of personal interview and designed questionnaire to get the
primary data for analysis.
In research, data was collected from Sahanapur, Deoband, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnore, Aligarh,
Bulandshahar, Meerut, Mathura and Agra interviewing dealers and sales & distributors in these
cities and questionnaire was filled by dealers and SSDs.
Once data was collected, analysis of the data in various terms such as market share , sales
volume , supply chain management , awareness, perception of dealers and SSDs along with
customers was done. We tried to figure out the problems and generated the recommendation for
those problems.

1.1. Project Introduction:
The challenge was not to track the market and collect sales data but to fathom the true perception
of the Dealers and sales & Distributors as well as Customers about the products and services
provided by the Haier India Pvt Ltd. and try to find out the perception in the context of Brand
Image, price and services. This project helped me to put a lot of bookish concepts into reality,
unlearn some and relearn others.
It involved detailed research work and deep understanding of the consumer’s mindset. The
corporate experience at Haier India Pvt. Ltd. was also enriching. Overall this project has helpedme to inculcate an indispensable understanding of the Indian markets and its consumers.
Basically I was responsible for carrying out an exploratory research to trace dealers and sales &
distributor’s psychology and various decision influencers, which are vital for being a dealers and
sales & distributors and making dealers interested of the particular brand of Air conditioners.
This project was intriguing because it involved a detailed project analysis followed by a study of
dealers and sales & distributors as well as consumer behavior, which lead to various reasons of
purchases and rejections.
AIR CONDITOINERS have one more network to reach to the customers, through sales and
service distributors (SSD). The difference between dealers and SSD is later provides after sales
service to the customers themselves without taking the help of service centers of the companies.
They get service commission from the brands which all they are keeping in the store for
providing this service to the customers.
This service commission is different for window ac and split ac. usually they get Rs. 400 and
Rs.600 on window and split air conditioners respectively.

Interpretation:
Graph depicts:
Haier which is globally NO-1, could hardly make 1.70% market share and not able to
envelope the market as worldwide.
Somehow Haier is lacking in terms of creating brand image, awareness, customer
satisfaction and in service.
In India, LG, which is globally No-3, has enveloped the market and is on top position in
Indian market.

4. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Customer Satisfaction business relation with the dealers and sales & distribution is the crux of
the success of any company. To achieve success, Few Foremost things are to be in pace with the
awareness of the brand in the customers and dealers mind. Clear, consistent and systematic
improvement is necessary to demonstrate that brand awareness in the mind of customers and
dealers and sales & distribution is a strategic Business Objective.
Hence, a research should be a step towards the awareness of the expanding the brand image in
the mind of dealers and sales & distributors and customers as well. Just as many dissatisfied
dealers and sales & distributors switch to dealing in other brand, satisfied dealers may have been
in the habit of blaming distribution channel but never take initiative to convert consumers mind
to a particular brand. Hence, a detailed research is required to know as to what is lacking in the
system and what can be done thereof.
A recent study of the corporate world has clearly established the fact that only such of those
corporations which have given their dealers and sales & distribution as well as customers
maximum value for their money, have survived and further, only such of those companies that
have gone beyond the stage of satisfying the customers into delighting them by exceeding their
expectations have really grown beyond one’s wildest dreams.
This section of the project emphasizes on the procedure used to accomplish the project. To
accomplish the project some data have been collected. As i was assigned to collect data of the
dealers and sales & distributors mainly, the data collection was done on the basis of:
• Primary data.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/analysis-of-factors-of-brand-boost 22/63
22
4.1. Primary Data
Primary data generally means those raw data or data structures that are collected “first hand” and
have not had any previous meaningful interpretation. For my summer Internship Project Report,
I have collected such primary data through Questionnaire and through personal interaction with
dealers and sales & distributors.
4.2. Research Design
For this I have conducted structured interviews because my research topic could not have been
justified with an unstructured interviews cover.
4.3. Sampling method
For the structure interview, I have selected the judgmental sampling method because I got
various cities of West Uttar Pradesh.
4.4. Sample size
90 dealers and sales & distributors in various city.

4.6. Research Process: - The project was completed in the following stages:
Stage 1:
4.7. Understanding the Project:-
Firstly I was enriched with the detailed information about the working procedure and the various
products of Haier India private limited. I was assigned for the Haier Air conditioner with ladenof product information.
This provided me with a better picture of the nature of the work to be done for Haier.

Stage 2:
4.8. Problem definition and research design:-
The objective was set and sampling, methodology was determined. In my research, Sample size
could not be set because I was assigned to meet sales and service distributors and dealers in the
various cities. And I could not predict about the number of sales and distributors and dealers in a
city until I met them. I prepared a well-defined questionnaire along under the guidance with my
project mentor.
Stage 3:
4.9. Data Collection:
Around 90 sales service distributors and dealers were visited with number of questions except
questionnaire. And data collection had done with the help of questionnaire and personal
interview. Respondents were actual sales and service distributors and dealers and few customers
were also noticed during buying air conditioners in showrooms.

positive image of Haier AC in their mind. At the second stage, Customers are not satisfied with the quality and performance of

RECOMMENDATIONS
&SUGGESTIONS
8/8/2019 Analysis of factors of Brand Boost
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/analysis-of-factors-of-brand-boost 56/63
56
• More service centers, Product and service go one after the other. Not only offering
quality product mere satisfy the customer. The service center network is rarely found in
Saharanapur, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnore, Meerut, Deoband, Bulandshahar, Aligarh,
Mathura, and Agra region.
As LG, Videocon, Samsung have made excellent service network in every possible city
and within 12 hours of a phone call, service is provided to the customer at their door step.
• Extensive marketing to create awareness about product, Haier is a globally successful
but not that success in India due to its wrong positioning in the minds of customer.
More and more promotional activates are required to create awareness. Brand
endorsements, recently Bollywood jam John Abraham is hired as a brand ambassador for
promoting LED Televisions.
• Feedback, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) need to be maintain with the help
of consumer feedback, so that Haier can have the direct/indirect feedback from the
consumer. And company can work upon and R&D to quality, price, promotion,
distribution, supply chain management, etc. better.
• Durability, considering the mind of Indian consumers, Product durability is quite major
factor. Heavy products are demanded in India.
8/8/2019 Analysis of factors of Brand Boost
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/analysis-of-factors-of-brand-boost 57/63
57
• Rural market, as Videocon ACs are cheaper than other brand and middle class generally
focus on cheaper brand. Haier has option to penetrate in rural market also. Videocon has
done and successful to capture this segment of customers.
• Distribution channel, thought Haier has effective distribution channel but it needs to to
be improved more. Good tuning with the dealers are required in order to spread their
availability of the products in every nooks and corner.
Considering Saharanapur, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnore, Meerut, Deoband, Bulandshahar,
Aligarh, Mathura, and Agra, region the tuning with the dealers and SSD are not as
effective as other brands have.
• Chinese brand, being a Chinese product, Haier has a less demand in India as compared
to its worldwide share. Indian customers have negative image and perception of products
in their mind due to Chinese background. Few steps are required to reposition the image
of the brand in customer’s mind.
• More R&D Centre Continuous research and development is important for a product to
survive in the market and cater the customers need. More research centers need to be
established by Haier to improve the quality of product and find out the reasons of less
market.
