CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

Market segmentation is the identification of portions of the market that are different from one
another. Segmentation allows the firm to better satisfy the needs of its potential customers.

The marketing concept calls for understanding customers and satisfying their needs better than
the competition. But different customers have different needs, and it rarely is possible to satisfy
all customers by treating them alike.

Mass marketing refers to treatment of the market as a homogenous group and offering the same
marketing mix to all customers. Mass marketing allows economies of scale to be realized
through mass production, mass distribution, and mass communication. The drawback of mass
marketing is that customer needs and preferences differ and the same offering is unlikely to be
viewed as optimal by all customers. If firms ignored the differing customer needs, another firm
likely would enter the market with a product that serves a specific group, and the incumbent
firms would lose those customers.

Target marketing on the other hand recognizes the diversity of customers and does not try to
please all of them with the same offering. The first step in target marketing is to identify different
market segments and their needs.

COMPANY PROFILE

Amul was formally registered on December 14, 1946. The brand name Amul, sourced
from the sanskrit word Amoolya, means priceless. It was suggested by a quality control expert in
Anand. Some cite the origin as an acronym to (Anand Milk Union Limited).

The Amul revolution was started as awareness among the farmers. It grew and matured
into a protest movement that was channeled towards economic prosperity. It is a dairy
cooperative movement in India. It is a brand name managed by an apex cooperative organisation,
Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF), which today is jointly owned
by some 2.41 million milk producers in Gujarat, India. It is based in Anand town of Gujarat and
has been a sterling example of a co-operative organization's success in the long term. The Amul
Pattern has established itself as a uniquely appropriate model for rural development. Amul has
spurred the White Revolution of India, which has made India one of the largest milk producers in
the world. It is also the world's biggest vegetarian cheese brand.

Amul's product range includes milk powders, milk, butter, ghee, cheese, chocolate, ice cream,
cream, shrikhand, paneer, gulabjamuns, basundi, Nutramul brand and others. In January 2006,

CHAPTER-2

LITERATURE REVIEW

REQUIREMENTS OF MARKET SEGMENTS

In addition to having different needs, for segments to be practical they should be evaluated
against the following criteria:

 Identifiable: the differentiating attributes of the segments must be measurable so that they
can be identified.
 Accessible: the segments must be reachable through communication and distribution
channels.
 Substantial: the segments should be sufficiently large to justify the resources required to
target them.
 Unique needs: to justify separate offerings, the segments must respond differently to the
different marketing mixes.
 Durable: the segments should be relatively stable to minimize the cost of frequent
changes.

MARKET SEGMENTATION

Bases for Segmentation in Consumer Markets

Consumer markets can be segmented on the following customer characteristics.

 Geographic
 Demographic
 Psychographic
 Behavioralistic

1. Geographic Segmentation

The following are some examples of geographic variables often used in segmentation.

Region: by continent, country, state, or even neighborhood

Size of metropolitan area: segmented according to size of population

Population density: often classified as urban, suburban, or rural

Climate: according to weather patterns common to certain geographic regions

2. Demographic Segmentation

Some demographic segmentation variables include:

Age

Gender

Family size

http://www.udaipurstudents.com Page 8
Designed By Pooja Devija
Family lifecycle

Generation: baby-boomers, Generation X, etc.

Income

Occupation

Education

Ethnicity

Nationality

Religion

Social class

Many of these variables have standard categories for their values. For example, family lifecycle
often is expressed as bachelor, married with no children (DINKS: Double Income, No Kids),
full-nest, empty-nest, or solitary survivor. Some of these categories have several stages, for
example, full-nest I, II, or III depending on the age of the children.

3. Psychographic Segmentation

Psychographic segmentation groups customers according to their lifestyle. Activities, interests,


and opinions (AIO) surveys are one tool for measuring lifestyle. Some psychographic variables
include:

Activities

Interests

Opinions

Attitudes

http://www.udaipurstudents.com Page 9
Designed By Pooja Devija
Values

4. Behavioralistic Segmentation

Behavioral segmentation is based on actual customer behavior toward products. Some


behavioralistic variables include:

Benefits sought

Usage rate

Brand loyalty

User status: potential, first-time, regular, etc.

Readiness to buy

Occasions: holidays and events that stimulate purchases

Behavioral segmentation has the advantage of using variables that are closely related to the
product itself. It is a fairly direct starting point for market segmentation.

Market segmentation is the process in marketing of grouping a market (i.e. customers) into
smaller subgroups. These markets are often termed niche markets or specialty markets. These
segments are fairly homogeneous in their attitudes about certain variables. Because of this intra-
group similarity, they are likely to respond somewhat similarly to a given marketing strategy.
That is, they are likely to have similar feeling and ideas about a marketing mix comprised of a
given product or service, sold at a given price, distributed in a certain way, and promoted in a
certain way.

The purpose of segmentation is to identify and target prime customer groups (eg the 20% that
account for 80% of your sales) so that you get the maximum return from a limited marketing
budget (the most bang for your buck).

Market Segmentation Of Amul CHOCO CRUNCH

Homogeneity within the segment


Heterogeneity between segments
Segments are measurable and identifiable
Segments are accessible and actionable
Segment is large enough to be profitable.....

These criteria can be summarized by the word SADAM:

S Substantial: the segment has to be large and profitable enough


A Accessible: it must be possible to reach it efficiently
D Differential: it must respond differently to a different marketing mix
A Actionable: you must have a product for this segment
M Measurable: size and purchasing power can be measured .

The Process-Data Model Of Marketing Segmentation

A given diagram is a generic process-data model is given for the whole process of
segmenting and positioning as a basis of deciding on the most effective marketing strategy and
marketing mix.

This model consists of the three main activities: segmenting, targeting and positioning. It
shows the chronological dependency of the different activities. On the right side of the model the
concepts resulting from the activities are showed. The arrows show that one concept results from
one or more previous concepts; the concept cannot be made when the previous activities have
not taken place. Below the three main activities are shortly described as well as their role as a
basis for the next step or their dependency on the previous step.

CHAPTER-3

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research, particularly in social science contains endless word spinning and too many quotations;
end result though may be far from expectations. In context of planning and development it is to
be noted that it significant lies in quality than quantity.

Therefore, eventually proper attention has to be paid to designing and adhering to appropriate
methodology throughout so as to improve the quality of the research.

Research type:

This type of result is Descriptive research .Descriptive Research includes surveys and fact
finding enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of Descriptive Research is description of
the state of affairs, as it exists at present.

Research Design:

The survey was conducted for the Amul products where a questionnaire was filled from
the retailers, wholesaler and consumers. The population and the samples were evenly divided in
such a manner so as to extract the best possible results within the given limitation.

Sampling Design:

The survey was conducted within a selected part of Pune region by dividing the sample
evenly. The whole of Pune region was divided based on the number of wholesalers and retailers.

Sampling Unit: Retail outlets.

Sample Size: 950 retail outlets.

Areas Covered: NDA, Uttamnagar, Manikbaug, Suncity, Wadgoan, PimpriNighidi,


Vallabhnagar, Ajemera, Pradhikiran, Paudroad, Warje 1 & 2, Karvenagar, Kothrud.

Method of Data collection:

There are several method of data collection available but,one of the most common
method is-questionnaire method,same was found appropriate for this research , for the reason
that

http://www.udaipurstudents.com Page 14
Designed By Pooja Devija
Questionnaire are one of the most commonly used methods.

 It is cost-effective.
 It is time-effective.

The questionnaire was designed by us and also with the help of panel members of Amul.

Determination of sources of Data collection:

A list of retailers were generated area wise and later on contacted individually.

Sampling procedures:

 The procedure employed for conducting the survey is on random basis.


 The database was referred for carrying out the survey. First the areas to be covered were
decided and then the respondents were contacted directly.
 As the respondents filled the sheets, his/her view relating to his expectation was also
noted. This was done with the aim to gather the information, which would provide related
and relevant insights as to what did the customer expect.

Tools for the Data Collection:

For the collection of primary data one to one interview method with the help of well structured
questionnaire with both open and closed ended questions were used.The survey of all retailers
was conducted and their responses were taken down carefully with the help questionnaire.

Tools for Data Analysis:

For the purpose of analyzing the data statistical tools such as weighted average method
and percentage analysis were used.For better understanding the raw data tools like bar graphs
and pie charts were used.

Limitations:

The sample size: The biggest limitation of the research is the wide area of Pune region. Only
30% of the entire area was considered for the research.

1. The sample size was too small when we take the universe into the consideration, which is
very big.
2. The survey was done in a part of Pune city hence if generalizations are to be made for
whole city, some deviations might occur.

http://www.udaipurstudents.com Page 15
Designed By Pooja Devija
3. Though the data is collected in a best possible way but still the above figures depict the
performance of the company.
4. The sample selected wasdone on random basis and taken from few selected areas that are
supposed to represent the whole population. Hence some deviations might be there when
the same is applied to the whole universe.
5. Retailers did not provide the real data for the study.
6. Retailers are scattered all over Pune city and its very difficult to locate and contact each
of them.
7. The big retailer are not ready to fill up the questionnaire.
8. Feedback may not be very reliable owing to difference in opinion.

MARKET TARGETING

After the most attractive segments are selected, a company should not directly start targeting
all these segments. The attractiveness of the segments is also depending on other important
factors. In the main activity of defining a target market, four sub activities are given which are
the bases for deciding on which segments will actually be targeted.

50

40

Target

7 - 20 yrs 21 - 40 yrs 40 - 50 yrs

The four sub activities performed by Amul while targeting are:-

Defining the abilities of the product and resources needed to enter a market
Analyzing competitors on their resources and skills
Considering the company’s abilities compared to the competitors’

http://www.udaipurstudents.com Page 26
Designed By Pooja Devija
Deciding on the actual target markets.

The first three sub activities are described at the topic competitor analysis. The last sub activity
of deciding on the actual target market is an analysis of the information made available when
comparing the companies abilities to the competitors’.

This analysis leads to a list of segments which are most attractive to target and have a good
chance of leading to a profitable market share.

Obviously, targeting can only be done when segments are predefined; there have to be segments
to analyze the competitors which are in this market. When the process of targeting is ended, the
markets to target are selected, but the way to use marketing in these markets is not yet defined.
To decide on the actual marketing strategy, knowledge of the differential advantages of each
segment is needed. When positioning a product, the segments are first analyzed, this process is
described next.

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

In order to ensure a continuous & efficient distribution, an approximate figure has to be arrived
at for getting the initial orders & to ensure adequate supply so that any delays or resultant losses
are avoided. For this purpose, the company adopted the consumer response hierarchy model so
that, it is ensured that all the company enters the market with a bang avoiding any problems of
late or inadequate supplies. This is highly essential to support the huge promotional budget, since
if the supplies aren’t at the right time, all other effort can be in vain. As Per The Consumer
Response Hierarchy Model; The Calculations Are Like Below:

RE-
5% of Trial

AWARENESS
80% of Targeted

Population

Studying The Demographic Conditions Of INDIA

http://www.udaipurstudents.com Page 28
Designed By Pooja Devija
It is expected that 80% of this targeted population will get aware about the products with
the help of the sales promotion, advertising and other marketing tactics.

Out of the People being aware of the products & the company, 60% will have somewhat
exact knowledge of the product.

It is expected that out of the people having the knowledge of the product, with the
product features and the requirement of milk in the country, 40% will develop a liking for
the products.

20% of the target audience who have developed a liking, will opt for the company’s
product as against the products they are using for daily consumption.

10% of the people who might prefer the product, will actually try it for the first time.

5% of the people who have tried it for the first time, might be convinced to purchase the
product again

Thus, adding up the people trying the product and the re-purchaser of the products, it
comes up to 624960 people.

CHAPTER-5

OBSERVATIONS AND FINDINGS

On the analysis of data following were the findings

 In the survey of each outlet I found that availability of Amul Shrikhand is more than
other brand.
 The service provided by Amul to retailer is very good comparing with other brand.
 The quality of Amul Chocolate and Shrikhand is very good comparing with other brands.
 Amul Shrikhand sales is more than any other brand.
 At most of the outlets, employees are not satisfied even dealers also.
 According to them, Amul only takes action for customer satisfaction but for the outlets
employee’s satisfaction, Amul tries to avoid it.
 In retail outlets customers focus on quality of products and not on service given by them.
 Customer trust on brand of product and name of company while purchasing the product.

Retailers feedback

The survey we carried out among 950 retailers for Amul Chocolates and Shrikhand was a great
success in finding some important feedback. The survey we carried out was a face to face
interview with retailers and customer.

Pricing

 Many retailers want more margins on Amul’s Chocolate and Shrikhand.


 Some said that the price should be in round figures.
 Some said the price should be less.

http://www.udaipurstudents.com Page 30
Designed By Pooja Devija
Product Quality

 Majority of the people said that the quality of Amul Chocolate and Shrikhand is very
good.
They don’t have any problem regarding this.

 Many said that Amul should maintain its quality in coming years.

CHAPTER-6

SUGGESTIONS
It is said that the ‘line to perfection never exists’, in a way it suggests that continuous
improvement and development is essential to atleast near to the ‘Perfection’.

To help a plant grow it must be suitably watered, sunlight and soil, which best suit its
kind, similarly the organization too, to see that its efforts get results, must provide with proper
attention for the development of the company.

After analyzing the data collected during the survey, following improvements can be
made in future.

1. Replacement facility should be made available for all the products.


2. Promotional activities like, Wall paintings, Flex boards should make available for
more product awareness.
3. Efficient distribution must be followed.
4. Promotional activities should be undertaken.
5. To create awareness for the products, different modes of publicities should be used
such as Neon sign, Hoardings, Danglers.
6. Dealers should offer some attractive commissions for generating
regular supply of Amul Chocolates and Shrikhand.

http://www.udaipurstudents.com Page 32

CHAPTER-7

CONCLUSION

 Amul India sells quality products like Amul milk, Amulshrikhand, Amul Chocolates,
Amul Ice-cream and Amul butter which are a brand in itself. So, its widely favoured with
the consumers.
 Consumers get good quality, good product, good brand & good service at their door-step
at an affordable price.
 From the survey, it shows that the Shrikand market is favourable for Amul rather than
Chocolate market as it faces stiff competition with the leaders in chocolate industry like
Cadbury & Nestle.
 The dealer margin is quite low as compared to other competitors.
Also, the distribution network of Amul India is quite efficient

Competition will never end so let's not avoid it but face it confidently,

"For a chief executive, unless he knows where he is going no one can take him there".

What's the use of Market Segmentation if it does not reach desired results? Therefore it is
necessary for every individual who has something to sell but no one to buy, to detect the
problem areas and try to solve them. But for this, knowing the right problem is extremely
essential otherwise hitting the target in dark means nothing.

Therefore, it is rightly said that a "well defined problem is half done". Once you know your
drawbacks only then you can correct it. Therefore, to know your drawbacks you need to
conduct a survey and get information right from the ultimate users of your product. They
should be asked to bring out your drawbacks. This will help you to not only know your
pitfalls but also what your customers want and their likes and dislikes and while doing so
build a good rapport with your customers. While conducting such surveys you can also
advertise your products among those customers who are not much aware of it.

"There are three ways of doing a thing—- the wrong way, the right way and our way"

http://www.udaipurstudents.com Page 33
Designed By Pooja Devija
whichever may be your way the ultimate aim is to achieve the results and implement them
to maximize customer satisfaction we all know competition is intense then why not take it
positively so that it helps us to improve our product quality, makes customers loyal to us,
helps us know our shortcomings and rectify them. The best way to overcome your
competitors is to give your customers what they expect or probably more than that.

To know the customers expectations towards Amul, I had conducted a market Research of the
existing customers, which helped me to know the satisfaction, awareness and liking among
customers for the products of Amul and analyze the situation and provide them suggestion to
improve the situation.

These suggestions if implemented would definitely yield results and

"Ultimately the results matter, how and who does it is immaterial".
