 Introduction
• Sales promotion is the process of persuading a potential customer
to buy the product. Sales promotion is designed to be used as a
short-term tactic to boost sales – it is rarely suitable as a method of
building long-term customer loyalty. Some sales promotions are
aimed at consumers.

in India after Honda Activa.

promotional activities.
• Most of the respondents are motivated by their friends and family
members.
• Most of the respondents have good satisfaction with the Performance of
their Scooters strength.
• Most of the customers had a good experience of shopping at Deep TVS.
 Recommendation
• After implementing the promotional strategies, a small training should be given to
dealers so that they can explain the offers and benefits to the customers properly.
• As per the suggestion of the customers there should be time to time improvement in
the sales promotion strategies considering maximum benefits to the customers.

• Some of the customers have complained about the slack in the delivery process and
timings. Therefore, this is the area which I recommend to the showroom to focus a
little bit more. It needs to improve its delivery process and time. Need to become
little quick and fast.

• Some of the customers have also complained about the after purchase services
provided by the showroom. Even though the complaints are minor, the showroom
needs to resolve the customer after purchase service issues in order to achieve
customer satisfaction.

through expanded offerings, even as the scooter market in semi-urban and
rural areas expands rapidly.
