EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project is based on Effectiveness of advertisement by Sintex Company. The need for studying this project is gathering information and theoretical knowledge about employees. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the advertisement campaign by Sintex Company for their consumers are whether effective or not. To understand effectiveness the survey has taken by primary data is collected though questionnaire. The results demonstrated by hypothesis testing. It was also found that as per the result of testing and by data analysis that still there is gap in consumers mind related to advertisement means advertisement by Sintex Company is not very much effective. Since in Ahmedabad there are various medium through they can advertise for there products. And products ranges are very huge which is not known to consumers. According to their age, intersection of their ads, frequency of advertisement, types of ads depends directly to my conclusion of this project report. Through this survey I conclude respondents who are representative of entire population wants to see the advertisement on newspapers, on television, magazine etc. I personally suggested to advertise on television because more effective through visual and audio effect by mentioning their features whom they are king. Sintex is world number one plastic producer and in sales also. They hurdles for company, Sintex itself dont know there is too much competitors of them, which may be competitions with by quality- wise, price- wise. Company should go for survey to analysis the competitive market for them.

LOCATION

Ahmedabad, one of the fastest-growing cities in western India, is the commercial capital of Gujarat. Located on the banks of the Sabarmati River, it has had a colorful history dating back to antiquity unlike the new metropolitan city. It has numerous fashionable hotels, glittering shopping malls, high-rise business buildings and innumerable vehicles ranging from the latest sleek limousines to three-wheelers. Looking back in 1411, the city now known as 'Ahmedabad' was founded by Sultan Ahmed Shah, who named it after himself. During the Sultanate, the rulers encouraged the merchants, members and crafts in come to Ahmedabad and make it a flourishing commercial and industrial city. An imperial atelier was located here, which produced exquisite textile and other artifacts for the Imperial Court at Delhi. Even in those days, experts contributed to Ahmadabads prosperity. A hilarious Ahmedabad is renowned for his spirit of enterprise.

Over a hundred years ago, Indian entrepreneurs established textile mills in Ahmedabad. Soon enough, the chimneystacks of these modern composite mills covered almost the entire skyline, giving it the sobriquet 'Manchester of India' over a hundred years. It is no surprise therefore that Ahmedabad continued to grow. With the phenomenal increase in population, the demand for more urban facilities, including accommodation, and the entire infrastructure considered essential to modern life, began putting a tremendous strain on the existing civic amenities. The main characteristic of Ahmedabad is that it continues to remain, as it was in the beginning, a commercial city, and a major center of trade. Today's city, with its teeming millions, its crowded streets, and burgeoning industries reflects some of these changes. As the industrial era comes in picture, it has a great opportunity to communicate them about the company and their products. Well it is being a well known brand for their products with huge ranges they should communicate through the various medium to there end users in order to generate sales and their brand name.

ECONOMY OF INDIA
India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for nearly two-thirds of India's output, with less than one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth began slowing in 2011 because of a tight monetary policy, intended to address persistent inflation, and a decline in investment, caused by investor pessimism about domestic economic reforms and about the global situation. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures, contributing to a higher fiscal deficit and a worsening current account deficit. In late 2012, the Indian Government announced reforms and deficit reduction measures to reverse India's slowdown. The outlook India's medium-term growth is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, inadequate availability of quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

Fiscal year 1 April - 31 March The history of Indian economy can be broadly divided into three phases: Pre- Colonial, Colonial and Post Colonial.

Pre Colonial: The economic history of India since Indus Valley Civilization to 1700 AD can be categorized under this phase. During Indus Valley Civilization Indian economy was very well developed. It had very good trade relations with other parts of world, which is evident from the coins of various civilizations found at the site of Indus valley.

Before the advent of the East India Company, each village in India was a self sufficient entity and was economically independent as all the economic needs were fulfilled within the village Colonial Indian Economy: The arrival of the East India Company in India caused a huge strain to the Indian economy and there was a two-way depletion of resources. The British would buy raw materials from India at cheaper rates and the finished goods were sold at

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 15

higher than normal price in Indian markets. During this phase India's share of world income declined from 22.3% in 1700 AD to 3.8% in 1952.

Post Colonial Indian Economy: After India got independence from colonial rule in 1947, the process of rebuilding the economy started. For this various policies and schemes were formulated. First five year plan for the development of Indian economy came into implementation in 1952. These Five Year Plans, started by Indian government, focused on the needs of the Indian economy.

To maintain its current status and to achieve the target GDP of 10% for financial year 200607, the Indian economy has to overcome many challenges. Challenges before Indian economy:

Population explosion: The rising population is eating into the success of India. According to 2011 census of India, the population of India has crossed one billion and is growing at a rate of 2.11% approx. Such a vast population puts lots of stress on economic infrastructure of the nation. Thus India has to control its burgeoning population.

Poverty: As per records of National Planning Commission, 36 crore people are living below the poverty line in India in 2012.

Unemployment: The increasing population is pressing hard on economic resources as well as job opportunities. Indian government has started various schemes such as Jawahar Rozgar Yojna, and Self Employment Scheme for Educated Unemployed Youth (SEEUY). But these are proving to be a drop in an ocean.

Rural Urban Divide: It is said that India lies in villages, even today when there is lots of talk going about migration to cities, 70% of the Indian population still lives in villages. There is a very stark difference in pace of rural and urban growth. Unless there isn't a balanced development Indian economy cannot grow.

These challenges can be overcome by the sustained and planned economic reforms. These include:

Maintaining fiscal discipline Orientation of public expenditure towards sectors in which India is faring badly such as health and education.

Introduction of reforms in labor laws to generate more employment opportunities for the growing population of India.

Reorganization of agricultural sector, introduction of new technology, reducing agriculture's dependence on monsoon by developing means of irrigation.

Introduction of financial reforms including privatization of some public sector banks.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The consumer durables market is divided into two segments consumer electronics, also known as the brown goods (television, digital camera, audio-video systems, computers, electronic accessories, etc) and consumer appliances or the white goods (air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens, other household appliances, etc.). In its initial years, the sector relied greatly on media and advertising for consumer penetration. Liberalization of markets in late 1990s saw the entry of global players like Samsung and LG and a shift in focus towards product innovation. Accessibility to high-end products was, however, low till mid 2000s. Last few years has seen high end and aspirational products like air conditioners and High Definition TVs gain stronghold in the market. The industry size for consumer durables stands at Rs 350 billion (as on March 2012). The sector rides and relies on the state of the countrys economy. With household incomes in top 20 cities across India expected to grow at 10 percent annually over the next eight years, and concepts of easy loans, equated monthly installment (EMI) charges, availability of credit, etc., become commonplace, the Indian consumer is likely to spend more on both utility and luxury consumer goods. The consumer durables sector is marked by stiff competition between market players to launch newer models and versions of products, discounts and schemes. The key players in the consumer durables sector are MNCs like LG, Samsung, Blue Star, Daikin, Hitachi, Sony, etc. LG and Samsung account for the largest shares of the market, and it is estimated that Indias share in their global revenues will double to 12 per cent in FY15 from 6 per cent in FY10 and similarly from 2.5 per cent to 5 per cent respectively. Growth of the consumer durables sector is poised for growth as disposable incomes grow. Also, increasing electrification of rural areas would augment demand. This sector attracted significant investments even during global recession. Rural markets are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CARG) of 25 percent from US$ 2.1 billion in FY10 to US$ 6.4 billion in FY15.

Page 18

100% FDI allowed in the electronics hardware manufacturing sector under the automatic route. The consumer durable market recorded revenues of US$ 7.3 billion in FY11. During FY03-FY11, the industry expanded at a CARG of 12.2 percent. Urban markets account for the major share 65% of total revenues in the consumer durables sector in India. Demand in urban markets is likely to increase for non essential products such as LED TVs, laptops, split ACs and beauty and wellness products. In rural markets durables like refrigerators as well as consumer electronic goods are likely to witness growing demand in the coming years.

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 19

Market trends for the future Estimates provided by Corporate Catalyst India (CCI) indicate that the consumer durables market is expected to double at 14.8 per cent CAGR to USD12.5 billion in FY15 from USD6.3 billion in FY10. Further, demand from rural and semi-urban areas is expected to expand at a CAGR of 25 per cent to USD6.4 billion in FY15 from USD2.1 billion in FY10. All major companies in this sector have elaborate expansion plans for the near future. Japans Panasonic plans to invest USD208 million by 2014 by setting up manufacturing units and an advanced R&D centre. Samsung plans to invest USD94 million to expand capacity by 2012. Market leader LG has outlined around USD292 million for enhancing production capacity and strengthening its LG brand shop network by 2012.

Factors that will drive growth in this sector Increased disposable incomes and greater accessibility to credit is growing the consumer base, especially in the middle and upper sections of the population. Relaxation of tariffs and increased liberalization amid a favorable FDI environment is leading to expansion in India, increased investments and greater R&D. Key players like Whirpool, Hitachi, and Panasonic announced huge investment plans in the year 2011. The sector is characterized by strong growth trends in all domains from rise in affordability factor of Indian population, increased penetration and exponential growth of rural markets, policy support in terms of FDI, to large scale investment plans by corporate. The consumer durables sector is set for an upward graph with numerous opportunities for those involved in it.

ABOUT SINTEX
Seven Decades of Success: Established in the year 1931, SINTEX INDUSTRIES LIMITED, initially operated on a very modest scale at Kalol, a town 30 Km in North of Ahmedabad (India). In 1956, the present management took over. The technology, style, outlook just about everything was revamped.

There was an infusion of motivation an enduring commitment to excellence. Since then, there has been no looking back. It has grown into 50 million US$ group turnover with a dedicated work force of 1600 people in the SINTEX INDUSTRIES LIMITED. Today, SINTEX INDUSTERIES LIMITED is a vertically integrated plant having its own finishing facilities. SINTEX INDUSTRIES LIMITED has been the undisputed leader in varied product mix for the last 70 years with a continuous expansion of its product range. Since last 20 years it has established a name in global market with its PLASTICS PRODUCT. Sintex Industries Limited (Earlier known as The Bharat Vijay Mills Ltd) has two divisions Textiles and Plastics. In the area of textiles, Sintex has been pioneers in high value fabrics. Plastics Division started in the year 1975 and today Sintex is having most diversified manufacturing capabilities in plastic processing in the world, with 10 plants spread across the country, more than twelve manufacturing processes under one roof, having more than 500,000 Sq. meter area and a more than 1000 strong work force. Sintex has also created extensive finishing, assembling, metal fabrication and concrete products facilities. Combination of such varied capabilities along with our state-of-the-art design and tool room facilities enables us to give vast array of products and solutions Sintex has an effective network of 10 manufacturing plants, 12 branch offices, over 500distributors and around 10,000 retailers spread across India. In the textile division, the company manufactures high-value, yarn-dyed structured fabrics, corduroy and items relating to home textiles. In the plastic division, the company manufactures the following: storage solutions for water, oil and fuel; prefabricated structures,

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 28

monolithic structures, industrial custom moulded products, consumer custom moulded products and interiors products. The company is having eight manufacturing facilities located at Kalol, Kolkata, Daman, Bangalore, Nagpur, Baddi, Salem and Bhachau in India. The company is headquartered in Kalol in Gujarat with 13 branch offices across India. They are having a strong presence in the European, American, African, and Asian markets including countries like France, Germany and USA. The company is aiming to change its earlier image of a seller of hardcore industry products and water tank manufacturers and turn its attention to marketing its range of more `retainable' products. The company is, therefore, coordinating with its distributors and dealers across the country to achieve high sales of products with `low price' tags. The company has also proposed to extend its marketing network beyond the distributorships by engaging dealers for the first time. In addition to 350 distributors, it will have 25-30 dealers under each distributor. The Rs. 120-crore Sintex Industries has identified multi-purpose bins made of reengineered ESC (Environmental Stress Crack) resistant plastic material as its thrust area. These bins are being projected as the company's `millennium products' in key marketing centers across the country. The bins and storage cans are targeted at those engaged in agriculture, dairy, fishery and food processing sectors, besides civic authorities, hospitals and households. The bins and containers are intended to replace the aluminum and steel ones. Company officials claim these bins are one-third the cost of aluminum cans and in the same price bracket of steel ones. ``We consider wastage handling containers and multi-utility bins to be the upcoming markets in the area of storage containers. This will be so because of the insistence by civic authorities, households and environment groups on cleanliness and hazardous wastes

Page 29

disposal,'' said Mr. S. M. Anerao, General Manager (Marketing), Sintex Industries Ltd (Plastic division). With Sintex's stress on international standards for storage containers, it has found favor with several civic administrations for its range of waste collection storage bins, said Mr. Anerao. An important market revamp, chalked out by Sintex Industries, Mr. Anerao said, is the focus on eight or 10 specific plastic products. The products to be covered under this market thrust are factory-made single piece PVC doors and windows, pallets, multi- cans and waste bins and containers, insulated boxes and electrical meter boxes. Mr. C. R. Chandrasekhar, Chennai-based southern regional head of Sintex Industries Ltd, said there was a great demand for insulated seamless milk cans, introduced by the company recently to capture the dairy sector's demands, as well as industrial storag e products. The additional production capacity created in the four Sintex plants _ Kalol, Bangalore, Daman and Calcutta _ has helped the company offer cost-effective solutions to its marketing ventures, he added. The aggressive marketing backed by higher production c apacity has also helped the company lower the price. ``We will now be able to bring in products at prices lower than Rs. 800. We now have plastic ice-crates at Rs. 150,'' claimed Mr. Anerao. Member of:

ANALYSIS

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 61

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGHTS Strong base in polymer Low cost labor High percentage of recycled plastic. It is Gujarats largest WATERTANK PRODCTION. SINTEX PLASTIC has created one image as trustable brand in customers. Company posses and good reputation in the market. Company provides value of money to its customers. It provides high quality product. It has strong distribution channels. Super active organization work.

WEAKNESS Low scale production. High cost of plastic for end-use application. Obsolete machinery. Poor industry image. Industry not focused on exports No replacement for the spoiled product given to the retailers. Fewer margins in the TANKS. No promotional scheme being offered to customers. Non availability of SINTEX PLASTIC is the main reasons for customer for purchase of alternative who actually wants to purchase SINTEX PLASTIC The delivery of SINTEX PLASTIC o is uncertain and not at proper time. At the time of season there creates shortage of SINTEX PLASTIC Company cannot solve problems of the customers.

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 62

OPPORTUNITIES Opportunity on account of plasticulture which is at a nascent stage in India. Opportunity to tap higher value processed plastic exports where India has no presence Potential demand by growth of sun-rise industries such as Retail. Company having reputed brand name so it can easily capture large market. Many areas still uncovered by the firm. The goodwill created by the firm as SINTEX PLASTIC is very helpful to the company to increase its sales and market share.

THREATS Competitors are highly promoting their product with different scheme given to the dealers are willing to keep stock and promote the sales. Competition from large competitors. Lost sale may be major problem in future. Competitors provide fast and connivance service and create loyalty to retailers. Rising crude oil prices Threat of polymer import from middle east Strong processing industries in neighboring countries Environmental concern with plastic packaging leading to substitution

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 63

PORTERS FIVE FORCE MODEL

The Likelihood of New Entry The likelihood of new entry in this industry is high. More and more industries trying to enter in this due to high demand in plastic Government policies in this industry facilitates new entry Existing brands in plastic industry like Sintex, reliance, IOC etc have high loyalty Existing firms may react aggressively to new entrants Existing firms like Sintex, reliance etc have strong control on supplies.

The Power of Buyer The stronger the power of buyers in an industry the more likely it is that they will be able to force down prices and reduce the profits of firms that provide the product. Buyer power will be higher in plastic industry if: Sintex industries have limited big buyers so each one is very important to firm, So buyers can easily switch over to Sintexs competitors if Sintexs price is high.

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 64

The Power of Suppliers The stronger the power of suppliers in an industry the more difficult it is for firms within that sector to make a profit because suppliers can determine the terms and conditions on which business is conducted. Suppliers are not that powerful. As more number of suppliers in this industry so can easily switch over to others Switching to another suppliers is not that difficult

The Degree of Rivalry This measures the degree of competition between existing firms. The higher the degree of rivalry the more difficult it is for existing firms to generate high profits. High rivalry as high number of similar sized firms Plastic industry requires high investment so cost of leaving the industry is high. High capacity utilization by this industry so competitive in nature the market is shrinking, so firms are fighting for their share of falling sales Brand loyalty in this industry is low so customers can easily switch over to others

The Substitute Threat This measures the ease with which buyers can switch to another product that does the same thing. The ease of switching depends on what costs would be involved and

how similar customers perceive the alternatives to be. In this industry customers can easily switch over to others and perceived effect is same not much difference. So substitute threat is high in this industry.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 66

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY


The main objective of research is to analyze the Effectiveness of the Advertising by the Sintex Company, kalol over the consumers and users user mind in the market. To find out the awareness, perception, satisfaction and acceptance level of the advertisement by them.

DESCRIPTIVE STUDIES
Descriptive studies are under taken in many circumstances. When the researcher is interested in knowing the characteristics of certain group such as age, sex, educational level or income, a descriptive study may be necessary. Other cases when a descriptive study could be taken up are when he is interested in knowing the proportion of people in a given population who have behaved in a particular manner, making projection of certain thing; or determining the relationship between two or more variables. The objective of such a study is to answer the who, what, when, where and how of the subject under investigation. It is fact finding investigation with adequate interpretation. It aims at identifying the various characteristics of a community or institution or problem under study and also aims at a classification of the range of elements comprising the subject matter of study. There is a general feeling that descriptive studies are factual and are very simple. This is not necessarily true. Descriptive study can be complex, demanding a high degree of scientific skill on the part other researcher.

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 67

RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is a plan, structure and strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain answer to research question and to control variance. The definition consists of three important terms plans, structure, and strategy. The plan is an outline of the research scheme on which the researcher is to work. The structure of research is a more specific outline or the scheme and the strategy shows how the research will be carried out, specifying the method to be used in the collection and analysis of data. The research design must make enough provision for provision against bias and must maximize reliability.

DATA SOURCES
Once the researcher has decided the research design, the next job is of data collection. For data to be useful, our observation needs to be organized so that we can get some patterns and come to logical conclusions. The quality of data will greatly affect the conclusion and hence, utmost importance must be given to this process and every possible precaution should be taken to ensure accuracy, while gathering and collection data. Depending upon the resources utilized. Whether the data has come from actual observation or from records that are kept for normal purpose, statistical data can be classified in to categories: Primary and secondary.

Primary data is used in this research. Primary data sources: Questionnaire Primary data is one which is collected by the investigator himself for the purpose of specific inquiry or study. Such data is original in a character and is generated by surveys conducted by individuals or research institutions. Secondary data source: Company Web-Site, Internet

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 68

RESEARCH APPROACH
Basically, there are two approaches in collection of primary data. Observation Survey

But I have done survey but Personal Interview, Mail Survey, and also in Social Networking. In short data collected from the consumer through internet and personal face-toface meeting with consumer.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The questionnaire which is used in this survey is Structured Questionnaire. Questionnaire constitutes the most prevailing method of information method among the communication method used. Both structured and unstructured questionnaire is used in marketing research. Different scale of measurement cam be constructed and used to capture appropriately the strength of audience response. A structured questionnaire is a formal list of questions framed so as to get the fact. The interviewer asks the question strictly in accordance with a pre arranged order. If, for example, the market researcher is interested in working the amount of expenditure incurred on different type of clothing i.e. cotton woolen or synthetic, by different households classified according to their incomes, he may frame a set of questions seeking this factual information. If the marketing researcher appoints some interviewer to collect information on his behalf, the interviewers are expected to adhere to the same order in asking the question as contained in the questionnaire. Structured questionnaire is one where the listing of questions is in a prearranged order and where the object of inquiry is revealed to the respondent.

SAMPLING PROCEDURE
It is the procedure required right from the defining the population to the actual selection of sample elements. The decision process of sampling is complicated one. The researcher has to first identify the limiting factor or factors and must judiciously balance the conflicting factors. The various criteria governing the choice of the sampling technique:

DEFINING THE POPULATION


It is the aggregate of all the elements defined prior to selection of the sample. It is necessary to define the population in terms of (I) Elements, (ii) Sampling units, (iii) Extent, and (iv) Time. So the survey conducts on bases of these criteria: 1. Element: Entire population as respondents (more specifically in Ahmedabad). 2. Sample units: Respondents who are aware of multimedia means above 18 years people. 3. Extent: Ahmedabad district. 4. Time: 2 month (April 2013 to June 2013)

FRAME IDENTIFYING THE SAMPLING


The sampling frame should be so selected which consist of almost all the sampling units. Though it is not possible to have one to one correspondence between frame unit and sampling unit, however, we should choose a sampling frame which yield unbiased estimates with variance as how as possible. Specifically under the consideration of the frame for sampling is chosen as Urban and areas of Ahmedabad District as my sampling frame viz.

Page 70

SAMPLING UNITS
Respondents who are aware of multimedia for advertisement, means he/she should above 18 year.

SAMPLING METHOD
The sampling method indicates how the sample units are selected. The most important decision in this regard is to determine which of the two probability or non probability sample is to be chosen. I have used Non Probability Convenience Sampling. Non- probability sampling is not based on the theory of probability. This sampling does not provide a chance of selection to each population element. Convenience Sampling means selecting sample unit in a just hit & miss, E.g. interviewing people whom we happen to meet.

SAMPLE SIZE
One has to decide how many elements of the target population are to be chosen. I have chosen a sample size of 100 respondents.

SAMPLING PLAN
This means that one should indicate how decision made so far is to be implemented. All expected pertinent issue in sampling survey must be answered by the sampling plan. This is the final step in the sampling process. Because it is a convenience method for survey it will be quite simple by taken their response by even a causal meeting. However it depends mainly upon the sampling plan and sample size required.

And few time the are advertising on newspaper and magazine.

Page 89

Hypothesis testing: it is about making inference about a population from only a small sample. NULL HYPOTHESIS: It is an assumption which we wish to test is called the null hypothesis and is symbolized by H. ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS: Whenever we reject the hypothesis, the conclusion we do accept is accept is called the alternative hypothesis and symbolized H1 (H sub-one).

TESTING OF HYPOTHESIS BY USING CHI- SQUARE METHOD


Null hypothesis: Advertisement by the Sintex Company is very much effective. Alternate hypothesis: Advertisement by the Sintex Company is not effective.

Degree of Freedom= (No. Of Row-1) * (No. Of Column-1) = (c-1)*(r-1) = (2-1)*(2-1) =1 Now, test statistically by placing the values in this formula,
(O-E)^ 2

2 = --------------E

= 154.34 (calculated by chi- square method)

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 91

STATISTICAL CONCLUSION
Since, x^2(calc.) = 154.34 is greater than x^2 (tab.) = 3.84, so null hypothesis is rejected. CONCLUSION Since null hypothesis is rejected, it means alternative hypothesis is accepted. Hence, by whole survey over the 100 respondents who are the representatives of the entire population the outcome is Advertisement by the Sintex Company is not effective. The reason behind that is there are only 2 advertisement on television & there are only few adds on newspaper, were are most of advertisement are given by dealers. They are also advertisement on magazine also but which are very few advertising. Thats why the result comes is effectiveness of advertisement by Sintex company is not very much effective.

CHAPTER VII

LIMITATIONS, SUGGESTION & CONCLUSION

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 93

LIMITATION
Any things have its own limitation so this project has also little limitation which is as under. One and big limitation of the project is that I am taken a very few sample for the research and also it is on the particular specified area only. I have taken sample from the KALOL research purpose so it is not enough for taking any decision so it is limitation for that. The objective of survey is effectiveness of the advertisement, and major limitation is company under which I have done project is a manufacturing unit where they are not doing advertisement. They do not having any ad agency or any creative agency in their company. They are more focus on there manufacturing only. Here time limit is also fixed and I have done late in project due to delay in appointment with company so it is one limitation of the project. I assume that all respondents gives the answer is right but in some time it is wrong even so it be as a limitation also of the projects. To whom I have to report were serious and hospitalize that makes delayed in appointment and delay in submission of topic to college. The sample chose for the research by the method of non probability sampling so there are not equal chance for the selection as a sample so some time it is be as a limitation. And convenience sampling method means interviewing people whom we happen to meet. The limitation is that may be they are not intension to reply. There wrong intension even chance their answers. Because of limitation of time and delay in project, I have done survey on social networking means on Facebook which may be reflect a very casual response. Due to limitation of time a get a few of response and under the pressure respondents which I taken were not under my criteria means one and two of them are under 18.

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 94

SUGGESTION
Sintex Company the name is itself a huge brand that what we had seen in survey but still they are not ready to purchase there product. The major problem comes that there are various brands in Ahmedabad nearly more than 20 brands are available in market with are directly competing with Sintex. As it is a well known brand so consumers having mindset of cost effective in them Because it is India people are thinking of cost benefits. Sintex in not only in business of plastic they are in business of building and construction, in textiles business, and they are even in retail business. So it is bit tougher for them to maintain all of them. Project is done in kalol, where they are famous for only manufacturing plant. They are not advertising for there brand because they thin people will recall their brand name. Company have to focus on advertisement over television and newspapers even on hooding, so it will more effective for them in sales increase They have to focus on their content of advertisement so consumers can understand the advertisement. Features and durability should be mention because they are more powerful. And there positive point is their brand name. Similarly not only for their water tank, they have to focus on others products which are in huge range. The major problem is in case of construction, contracts to builders for construction that time we dont know what they are using of which brand.

Idea Institute of Management & Technology

Page 95

CONCLUSION
Finally at last I conclude that: Consumers are not aware of the advertisement by the Sintex Company, reason there are only few ads. Company should focus on more and more advertisement because ultimately consumers are end users so they must aware with the features of the products. Sintex are in business of not only in plastic also in textile, construction and building. So they must focus on those businesses also.
Maximum numbers of respondents who participate in the survey have a family size less then 4 members and they are most potential customers of Sintex, this is because they are user of Sintex products so they must known . The target respondents are of more than 18 years which are young, they prefer quality more than price and they particularly focused on service and quality which is offered by Sintex.

Peoples majority are effected by advertisement which grabs attention very quickly and they response on bases of their interest according to AIDA rule of advertisement. Company should advertise on various multimedia like newspapers, mainly on television or on hooding, pamphlets, magazine etc Because there are various media but they are utilizing very few media, which is not may be known to consumers who are target and end consumers for the company They should provide some discounts or offers to retailers and distributors so they directly insist the end consumer to use By providing discounts it increases sales and also good word of mouth.
