I%TRO!CTIO% TO THE TOPIC
The purpose of this study to understand the customers satisfaction towards services
provided by Thomson Press India td. I found out the various attributes of a service on
the basis of which customer purchased their services. I also tried to find out the
customers satisfaction level towards services provided by Thomson Press in !est
regions of "elhi and #cr. #ow a days people go for brand not for a product$ this is the
reason because of which companies are looking for brand building. %rom the customer
point of view there are some benefits of using a brand$ people trust the brand $ study is to
be done to find out what customers want and what factors affect most while purchasing
their services.
&There is a greater need to understand the customer behavior. 'onsidering them as a team$
feedback for the company may help them to be attached to the company. There should be
a feeling of belonging to the company in inner of the customers.
'ustomer satisfaction is a term fre(uently used in marketing. It is a measure of how
products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer e)pectation.
'ustomer satisfaction is defined as *the number of customers$ or percentage of total
customers$ whose reported e)perience with a firm$ its products$ or its services +ratings,
e)ceeds specified satisfactiongoals.*
'ustomers e)pect in return low prices$ more discounts$ high (uality material and timely
completion or order. This study is conducted to find out whether Thomson Press is
fulfilling needs of the customer or not

%or works written independently of the publisher$ writers often first submit a (uery letter
or proposal directly to a literary agentor to a publisher. 7ubmissions sent directly to a
publisher are referred to as unsolicited submissions$ and the maority come from
previously unpublished authors. If the publisher accepts unsolicited manuscripts$ then the
manuscript is placed in the slush pile$ whichpublishers readerssift through to identify
manuscripts of sufficient (uality or revenue potential to be referred to ac(uisitions editors
for review. The ac(uisitions editors send their choices to the editorial staff. The time and
number of people involved in the process is dependent on the si5e of the publishing
company$ with larger companies having more degrees of assessment between unsolicited
submission and publication. Hnsolicited submissions have a very low rate of acceptance$
with some sources estimating that publishers ultimately choose about three out of every
ten thousand unsolicited manuscripts they receive.

4 decision is taken to publish a work$ and the technical legal issues resolved$ the author
may be asked to improve the (uality of the work through rewriting or smaller changes$
and the staff will edit the work. Publishers may maintain a house style$ and staff will
copy editto ensure that the work matches the style and grammatical re(uirements of each
market. 8ditors often choose or refine titles and headlines. 8diting may also involve
structural changes and re(uests for more information. 7ome publishers employ fact
checkers$ particularly regarding nonDfiction works.
!esi/, st+/e
!hen a final te)t is agreed upon$ the ne)t phase is design. This may include artwork
being commissioned or confirmation of layout. In publishing$ the word *art* also
indicates photographs. "epending on the number of photographs re(uired by the work$
photographs may also be licensed from photo libraries. %or those works that are
particularly rich in illustrations the publisher may contract a picture researcher to find and
license the photographs re(uired for the work. The design process prepares the work for
printingthrough processes such as typesetting$ dust acket composition$ specification of
paper (uality$ binding method and casing$ andproofreading.
The type of book being produced determines the amount of design re(uired. %or standard
fiction titles$ design is usually restricted to typography and cover design. %or books
containing illustrations or images$ design takes on a much larger role in laying out how
the page looks$ how chapters begin and end$ colours$ typography$ cover design and
ancillary materials such as posters$ catalogue images and other sales materials. #onD
fiction illustrated titles are the most design intensive books$ re(uiring e)tensive use of
images and illustrations$ captions$ typography and a deep involvement and consideration
of the reader e)perience.
The activities of typesetting$ page layout$ the production of negatives$ plates from the
negatives and$ for hardbacks$ the preparation of brasses for the spine legend and imprint
are now all computeri5ed. Prepress computeri5ation evolved mainly in about the last
twenty years of the 2@th century. If the work is to be distributed electronically$ the final

for reading. These may include P"%files.
S+.es +,d )+eti,/ st+/e
The sales and marketing stage is closely intertwined with the editorial process. 4s front
cover images are produced or chapters are edited$ sales people may start talking about the
book with their customers to build early interest. Publishing companies often produce
advanced information sheets that may be sent to customers or overseas publishers to
gauge possible sales. 4s early interest is measured$ this information feeds back through
the editorial process and may affect the formatting of the book and the strategy employed
to sell it. %or e)ample$ if interest from foreign publishers is high$ coDpublishing deals may
be established whereby publishers share printing costs in producing large print runs
thereby lowering the perDunit cost of the books. 'onversely$ if initial feedback is not
strong$ the printDrun of the book may be reduced$ the marketing budget cut or$ in some
cases$ the book is dropped from publication altogether.
Pi,ti,/
4fter the end of editing and design work the printing phase begins. The first step involves
the production of apreDpress proof$which the printers send for final checking and signD
off by the publisher. This proof shows the book precisely as it will appear once printed
and represents the final opportunity for the publisher to find and correct any errors. 7ome
printing companies use electronic proofs rather than printed proofs. 6nce the publisher
has approved the proofs$ printing M the physical production of the printed work M begins.
4 new printing process has emerged asprinting on demand. The book is written$ edited$
and designed as usual$ but it is not printed until the publisher receives an order for the
book from a customer. This procedure ensures low costs for storage$ and reduces the
likelihood of printing more books than will be sold.

Bi,di,/
In the case of books$ binding follows upon the printing process. It involves folding the
printed sheets$ *securing them together$ affi)ing boards or sides thereto$ and covering the
whole with leather or other materials*.
!istibutio,
The final stage in publication involves making the product available to the public$ usually
by offering it for sale. In previous centuries$ authors fre(uently also acted as their own
editor$ printer$ and bookseller$ but these functions have generally become separated. 6nce
a book$ newspaper$ or other publication is printed$ the publisher may use a variety of
channels to distribute it. :ooks are most commonly sold throughbooksellersand through
other retailers. #ewspapers and maga5ines are typically sold in advance directly by the
publisher to subscribers$ and then distributed either through the postal system or by
newspaper carriers. Periodicals are also fre(uently sold through newsagentsand vending
machines.
!ithin the book industry$ printers often fly some copies of the finished book to publishers
as sample copies to aid sales or to be sent out for preDrelease reviews. The remainingbooks often travel from the printing facility via sea freight. 4ccordingly$ the delay
between the approval of the preDpress proof and the arrival of books in a warehouse$
much less in a retail store$ can take some months.
