    INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT TOPIC

    J.K. Cement is an affiliate of the J.K. Organization, which was founded by

    LalaKamlapat Singhania. The J.K. Organization is an association of industrial and

    commercial companies and has operations in a broad number of industries.

    Their cement operations commenced commercial production in May 1975 at their

    first plant at Nimbahera in the state ofRajasthan. At Nimbahera, we started with

    a single kiln with a production capacity of 0.3 million tons. They added a second

    kiln in 1979 with production capacity of 0.42 million tons, and a third kiln in 1982

    with a production capacity of 0.42 million tons. They added a precalciner with a

    capacity of 0.4 million tons in 1988, which increased their capacity at Nimbahera to

    1.54 million tons. During the years 1998 through 2003, they continued to implement

    modifications to each of their kilns, which increased our aggregate capacity at

    Nimbahera to 2.8 million tons as of September 30, 2005.

    They commissioned a second grey cement plant at their Mangrol plant in 2001,

    with a production capacity of 0.75 million tons. As of September 30, 2005, they had

    an aggregate production capacity of 3.55 million tons per annum of grey cement.

    Their white cement plant was completed in 1984 with a capacity of 50,000 tons.

    Their continuing modifications to the plant have increased its production capacity to

    300,000 tons as of September 30, 2005.

    Today, J. K. Cement Ltd. is one of the largest cement manufacturers in

    Northern India. They are also the second largest white cement manufacturer in

    India by production capacity. While the grey cement is primarily sold in the

    northern India market, the white cement enjoys demand in the export market

    including countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Singapore, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Sri

    Lanka, Ken

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    In modern era, there is too much competition. Every company is running for profit

    and maintains a good value in consumers mind, but this is not an easy task. For

    making regular profit and maintain good value, it is very important that company

    making good policy and also changing time to time. Your product has a good value,

    but this not means that you get good profit if your product is not available in the

    market. So for Availability Company has to select a channel by which consumer get

    that product from market. This is varying from company to company and product to

    product that what kind of Channel Company adopted for their product to sell out in

    market. There are many types of channel of marketing, but distribution channel is

    simpler and more profitable for companies.

    Distribution channel is more systematic way of selling different product in different

    market, because in this type of channel company dont have to go to sell their

    product direct to customer, and they dont have to hire too many teams of

    marketing executive. Companies just hired good distributer who have knowledge

    4

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    5/93

    about that market and have good wealth by which he can give credit to local

    retailers. Companies just have to give some extra margin to distributer.

    J.K. Cement is an affiliate of the J.K. Organization, which was founded by Lala

    KamlapatSinghania. There cement operations commenced commercial production

    in May 1975 at their first plant at Nimbahera in the state of Rajasthan. , J. K.

    Cement Ltd. is one of the largest cement manufacturers in Northern India. They are

    also the second largest white cement manufacturer in India by production capacity.

    There access to high quality limestone reserves that are suitable for production of

    white cement provides us with a competitive advantage. White cement accounted

    for 16.6% of their total cement revenue and 35.2% of adjusted EBITDA from their

    cement operations in fiscal 2005, and 15.5% of revenues and 26.7% of their adjusted

    EBITDA from their cement operations in the six months ended September 31, 2005.

    The analysis is done in the J.K white cement, kamla tower, Kanpur. I find that in the

    segment of white cement J.K white cement is Number 1. But in wall putty they

    are Number 2.

    I asked some important question to distributer channel of J.K white cement. In my

    survey; I found that there is some communication gap between company and local

    retailers. I also found that company marketing executives did not perform their job

    as they have to do. Company is also lacking in the field of marketing. Their

    5

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    6/93

    competitor isstronger in marketing. And their marketing team is also very strong.

    So thats why J.K losing their shares is white cement and putty also.

    After analysis some recommendation are given to the organization, which will help

    the organization in the field of marketing.

    northern India market, the white cement enjoys demand in the export market

    including countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Singapore, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Sri

    Lanka, Kenya, Tanzania, UAE and Nepal.

    Their access to high quality limestone reserves that are suitable for production of

    white cement provides them with a competitive advantage. Based on geological

    11

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    12/93

    surveys conducted by independent agencies on their mines between 1996 and 2001,

    their limestone reserves for both grey and white cement are expected to meet our

    existing and planned limestone requirements of 4.0 MnTPA of grey cement and 0.4

    MnTPA of white cement, for approximately 40 years.

    Backed by state-of-the-art technology and highly skilled manpower against the

    backdrop of Indias infrastructural growth in an overdrive, they are upbeat about

    The future. They are confident of contributing heavily in Indias journey of

    development. They see a world of concrete ideas on the horizon.

    THEIR STRENGTH

    They enjoy a number of key competitive advantages, which have helped them

    maintain our position as one of the leading cement manufacturers in the Northern

    Indian cement market. Their principal strengths and competitive advantages are as

    follows:

    20

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    21/93

    Leading position in attractive Northern India grey cement market.

    Based on CMA data, Northern Indian cement manufactures have consistently

    operated at the highest levels of capacity utilization among Indias five regions.

    They believe this reflects the strongdemand in Northern India for cement products

    relative to supply. Further, based on capacity expansions announced by cement

    manufacturers, we expect cement plants in Northern India to continue to operate at

    high utilization levels and anticipate continued strong demand for our grey cement

    products in the near and medium-term.

    They believe that they are well positioned to take advantage of this demand, as the

    fourth largest grey cement manufacturer in Northern India, and the largest grey

    cement manufacturer in the state ofRajasthan.

    One of the Leading white cement producer in India:

    White cement accounted for 16.6% of our total cement revenue and 35.2% of

    adjusted EBITDA from their cement operations in fiscal 2005, and 15.5% of

    21

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    22/93

    revenues and 26.7% of their adjusted EBITDA from our cement operations in the

    six months ended September 31, 2005. Unlike grey cement, the white cement

    industry in India is highly concentrated with the two largest players accounting for

    the substantial majority of Indias production capacity. Consequently, prices of

    white cement have been relatively less volatile and sales of white cement have

    generated more stable cash flows for us even during industry downturns in grey

    cement. They also believe their position as the second largest producer of white

    cement in India, together with their nationwide delivery network, significantly

    enhances the overall brand image of JK Cement.

    Proximity and access to large reserves of high quality limestone: They have

    access to large reserves of limestone for both their grey and white cement

    22

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    23/93

    operations, which they believe are sufficient to sustain their operations well into the

    future. Based on independent geological surveys of different mines during 1996 to

    2001, they believe that our limestone reserves are sufficient to support their current

    and planned capacity for approximately 40 years for both grey and white cement.

    (Put in risk - assuming they are able to renew their existing leases upon their expiry)

    As one of the first cement producers in Northern India, they were able to choose

    their limestone reserves in an area with high quality limestone resources. In addition

    to allowing them to produce white cement, which requires high quality limestone, it

    also provides them with a cost advantage, as they are not required to purchase

    sweeteners to improve the quality of limestone. Further, their manufacturing plants

    are in close proximity to their limestone reserves, resulting in lower transportation

    costs. Finally, their mines that supply their white cement plant at Gotan also have a

    supply of white clay, an important additive necessary for white cement production.

    Quality of products and strong brand name:

    They believe that brand name and reputation are important to retail purchasers of

    cement in India. They have built a strong reputation among cement purchasers by

    consistently providing high quality products. They believe that there is strong

    customer awareness of their brands, JK Cement (Sarvashaktiman), for grey

    cement in their principal market in Northern India, and JK White (Camel), for

    white cement across India. Further, they believe that their brand name and their

    23

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    24/93

    reputation for consistently supplying high quality products provide them with a

    competitive advantage in ensuring that cement dealers carry their products.

    COMPANY PRODUCT

    24

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    25/93

    Extensive marketing and distribution network:

    They have a wide distribution network for grey cement in Northern India. They also

    have a strong all-India distribution network for white cement. Their distribution

    network for grey cement products consists of 44 feeder depots serviced by seven

    regional sales offices in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya

    Pradesh and Gujarat. Their white cement network comprises 20 feeder depots

    serviced by 13 regional sales offices in Delhi, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, West

    25

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    26/93

    Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat,

    Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. In addition, they have more than 4,000 retail stores

    that stock our grey and white cement products, as well as 22 sales promoters and

    four handling agents. They believe that the extent of this network, and their

    relationships with dealers, enables them to market and distribute our cement widely

    and efficiently.

    Experience and technical know-how:

    They have 30 years of experience in the Indian cement industry, which they believe

    provides them with the skills to maximize production efficiency, expand production

    capacity quickly and reduce costs. Over the years, they believe that they have

    developed long-term customer relationships and a strong reputation for quality. In

    addition, they have a proven track record of upgrading and modernizing their

    production capabilities efficiently, having increased their production capacity at

    Nimbahera by more than 80%, from 1.54 million tons in 1998 to 2.8 million tons as

    of September 30, 2005. Further, they have a stable and experienced middle and

    senior level management team, many of whom have been working in their cement

    operations for more than 20 years. Their Nimbahera manufacturing facility was

    chosen by the World Bank and

    The Danish International Development Agency as one of the four training centers in

    India to serve as the Regional Training Center for Northern India. There are

    only four regional training centers for the cement industry in India, and they believe

    26

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    27/93

    their operation of the training center provides us with access to state of art training

    aids, live working models, and technical expertise developed by well known

    national and international cement producers.

    27

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    PRODUCT PORTFOLIO

    They produce grey cement and white cement. Grey cement produced by them

    consists ofOrdinary Portland cement (OPC) and Portland Pozzolana Cement

    (PPC). OPC has three principal grades that are differentiated by their

    compressive strengths, and consist of 53-grade, 43-grade and 33-grade OPC.

    All their products comply with the quality standards specified by the Bureau of

    Indian Standards (BIS). Their cement products are marketed under the brand

    names J.K. Cement and Sarvashaktiman for OPC products, J.K. Super for PPC

    products and J.K. White and Camel for white cement products, which believe are

    well known brands.

    TYPES OF PRODUCT

    29

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    30/93

    Types of Cement:

    Grey Cement

    Grey cement produced by us consists of OPC and PPC. There are also other cements

    in the market that we do not produce, such as Portland slag cement, oil well cement,

    sulphate resistant cement, rapid gardening cement, low alkali cement, low heat

    cement and super finish cement.OPC has three grades that we produce, that are

    differentiated by their compressive strengths, expressed in mega pascals (MPa), as

    specified by the BIS.These grades are 53-grade OPC, 43-grade OPC and 33-grade

    OPC, with 53-grade OPC having the highest compressive strength. The customer

    selects the grade of OPC based on the intended application. Our most popular

    30

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    31/93

    cement, by sales volume, is 43-grade cement, with 53-grade cement being used in

    applications which require high strength characteristics.

    Ordinary Portland cement

    OPC is produced by inter-grinding cement clinker prepared in a rotary cement kiln

    with gypsum. Each metric ton of OPC requires approximately 0.95 metric tons of

    clinker and approximately 0.05 metric tons of gypsum. The range of applications,

    the physical and chemical requirements specified by BIS and strength of the three

    grades of OPC are discussed below:

    53-grade OPC (IS:12269-1987): 53-grade OPC is high strength cement. According

    to the BIS requirements, 53-grade OPC must have a 28-day compressive strength of

    no less than 53 MPa. For certain specialized products, such as pre-stressed concrete

    and certain pre-cast concrete items requiring high strength, 53-grade OPC is

    considered useful as it can produce high-grade concrete at lower cement content

    levels. They produce 53-grade OPC by exposing the clinker to the grinding process

    for longer period of time, which results in a higher density and stronger cement. As

    the grinding process requires a significant amount of power, finer grinding for the

    53-grade OPC requires more power and is therefore priced higher compared to

    lower grades of OPC.53-grade OPC can be used for the following applications:

    1) Pre-cast concrete items such as paving blocks, tiles and building blocks.

    31

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    32/93

    2) Pre-stressed concrete components and

    (3)Runways, concrete roads and bridges.

    43-grade OPC (IS-8112:1989): According to the BIS requirements, 43-grade OPC

    must have a 28-day compressive strength of no less than 43 MPa. 43-grade OPC is

    commonly used in the following applications:

    1) General civil engineering construction work.

    2) Pre-cast items such as blocks, tiles and pipes.

    3) Asbestos products such as sheets and pipes and

    4) Non-structural works such as plastering and flooring.

    33-grade OPC (IS-269:1989): 33-grade OPC has been commonly used for general

    civil construction work under normal environmental conditions. According to the

    BIS requirements, 33-grade OPC must have a 28-day compressive strength of no

    less than 33 MPa. The increased availability of higher grades of OPC has decreased

    the use of 33-grade OPC in India and now 43-grade OPC is normally used for

    general construction work rather than 33-grade OPC. 33-grade OPC is now more

    commonly used for mass concreting and plain cement concreting and is produced on

    a made to order basis. It can also be used for plastering and single storey individual

    houses.

    32

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    33/93

    Portland Pozzolana Cement:

    They also manufacture PPC (IS:1489 (Part-1) 1991)

    under the brand name J.K. Super. PPC is also known as blended cement or silicate

    cement, and this blended cement has become increasingly popular in the market in

    recent years. Each ton of PPC requires approximately 0.75 tons of clinker, 0.05 tons

    of gypsum and 0.20 tons of fly ash, a pozzolanic material that is a by-product of

    thermal power plants. In the manufacture of PPC, a portion of the clinker is replaced

    with fly ash. This enables the cement manufacturer to produce a higher quantity of

    cement per ton of clinker. As a result, the cement manufacturer can increase its

    production capacity by making a limited investment in grinding capacity without a

    corresponding investment in earlier stage production equipment such as kilns.

    Further, the only cost incurred for fly ash is transportation cost from the thermal

    power plants that generate it to the cement manufacturing site, as fly ash is currently

    available free of cost. The use of fly ash therefore significantly reduces the overall

    cost of production of cement.

    The advantage of PPC is its low heat of hydration and corresponding resistance to

    exposure to various environmental chemicals such as salt water. It is particularly

    suitable for marine and hydraulic construction and other mass concrete structures.

    This cement has durability that is equivalent to OPC and can be used most of the

    33

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    34/93

    applications where OPC is used. As PPC is generally sold at a comparable price to

    OPC and the cost of production of PPC is comparatively lower, PPCs margins per

    ton are generally higher compared to OPC.

    White Cement:

    They manufacture white cement under the brand names J.K. White

    and Camel. White cement is produced using a different quality of limestone and is

    distinguished from grey cement by its white color. Each ton of white cement

    requires approximately 1.33 tons of limestone, 0.02 tons of gypsum and 0.2 tons of

    additives including white clay, feldspar and fluorspar.

    34

    White cement is typically used in three principal areas of

    application, as set forth below:

    Flooring, for the manufacturing and laying of mosaic tiles and as tile fixing

    grout, wall applications, such as decorative white cement paints and plain

    and spray plasters; and

    Other specialized applications including glass fiber reinforced concrete,

    garden furniture, lamp posts, as pointing for brick and stone works and as

    MANUFACTURING PROCESS

    50

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    51/93

    The production process for cement consists of drying, grinding and mixing

    limestone and additives like bauxite and iron ore into a powder known as raw

    51

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    52/93

    meal. The raw meal is then heated and burned in a pre-heater and kiln and then

    cooled in an air cooling system to form a semi-finished product, known as a clinker.

    Clinker (95%) is cooled by air and subsequently ground with gypsum (5%) to form

    Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Other forms of cement require increased

    blending with other raw materials. Blending of clinker with other materials helps

    impart key characteristics to cement, which eventually govern its end use.

    There are two general processes for producing clinker and cement in India : a dry

    process and a wet process.

    The basic differences between these processes are the form in which the raw meal is

    fed into the kiln, and the amount of energy consumed in each of the processes. In the

    dry process, the raw meal is fed into the kiln in the form of a dry powder resulting in

    energy saving, whereas in the wet process the raw meal is fed into the kiln in the

    form of slurry. There is also a semi-dry process, which consumes more energy than

    the dry process but lesser than the wet process.

    What is a market?

    Traditionally, a market was a physical place where buyers and sellers gathered to

    buy and sell goods. Economists describe a market as a collection of buyers and

    sellers who transact over a particular product.

    What is marketing?

    Marketing deals with identifying and meeting human and social needs. In one line

    meeting need profitably. In the social terms deliver a higher standard of living

    so marketing means from creating to delivering value to customers and for

    managing customer relationship is marketing.

    Importance of marketing

    It is very important that a company always makes profit, and for this every aspect of

    department works regular. Like finance, production and so on. But if there is not

    sufficient demand for products or services so the company can make profit. So then

    there is a need of marketing, by which company know how to sell their product or

    services to consumer. Now every company has confronted newly empowered

    customers and new competitors, and has had to rethink their business models.

    The scope of marketing

    61

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    62/93

    To prepare to be a marketer, you need to understand what marketing is, how it

    works, what is marketed, and how does the marketing.

    Marketing channel

    Most producers do not sell their goods directly to the final users; between them

    stands a set of intermediaries performing a variety of function. These intermediaries

    constitute a marketing channel (also called a trade channel or distribution channel).

    Formally, marketing channel are set of interdependent organization involved in the

    process of making a product or services available for use or consumption. They are

    the set of pathways a product or services follows after production, culminating in

    purchase and use by the final end user.

    Some intermediaries such as wholesalers and retailers buy, take title to and resell

    the merchandise; they are called merchants. Others brokers, manufactures

    representatives, sales agents search for customers and may negotiate on the

    producers behalf but do not take title to the goods; they are called agents.

    62

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    63/93

    The importance of channels

    A marketing channel system is particular set of marketing channels employed by a

    firm. Decisions about the marketing channel system are among the most critical

    facing management. Marketing channel also represent a substantial opportunity cost.

    One of the chief roles of marketing channel is to convert potential buyers into

    profitable orders. Marketing channels must not just serve markets, they must also

    make markets.

    The channels chosen affect all other marketing decisions. The companys pricing

    depends on whether it uses mass merchandisers or high quality boutiques. The

    firms sales force and advertising decisions depends on how much training and

    motivation dealers need. In addition, channel decisions involve relatively long

    term commitments to other firms as well as a set of policies and procedures. When

    an automaker cannot buy them out the next day and replace them with company

    owned outlets.

    In managing its intermediaries the firm must decide how much effort to devote to

    push verses pull marketing. A push strategy involves the manufacture using its

    sales force and trade promotion money to induce intermediaries to carry,

    promote, and sell the product to end users. Push strategy is appropriate where there

    is low brand loyalty in a category, brand choice is made in the store, the product is

    63

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    64/93

    an impulse item, and product benefits are well understood. A pullstrategy involves

    the manufacture using advertising and promotion to persuade consumers to ask

    intermediaries for the product, thus inducing the intermediaries to order it. Pull

    strategy is appropriate when there is high brand loyalty and high involvement in the

    category.

    Channel development

    It depend on the company, what kind of channel they have, if the company is very

    successful, it might branch into new market and use different channel in different

    markets, the firm might sell directly to retailers; in larger markets it might sell

    through distributers. In rural areas it might works with general goods merchants; in

    urban areas, with limited line- merchants, in one part of the country it might grant

    exclusive franchises; in another, it might sell through all outlet willing to handle the

    merchandise. In one country it might use international sales agent; in another, it

    might partner with local firms. In short, the channel system evolves in response to

    local opportunities and conditions.

    Consumers is also seeks different types of channel for different functions in making

    a purchase

    64

    65/93

    The role of marketing channel

    Intermediaries bring in pooled financial resources.

    They help bulk and create assortment for the customer.

    Channel function and flows

    A marketing channel performs the of moving goods from producers to consumers. It

    overcomes the time, place and possession gaps that separate goods and services

    A firm needs to identify the types of intermediaries available to carry out its channel

    work. Forexample- Companies should search for innovative marketing channels.

    Initially, for reaching subsidized foods grains to remote villages some state

    governments used mobile vans for direct distribution. Later, with insight into tribal

    customer buying behavior, these vans started distributing food grains from by

    visiting periodic market, with a substantial reduction in distribution costs. HLLs

    operation shakti, involving self help groups of women for reaching its products in

    rural area; India times web marketing site; and ITCs e-choupal fall in this category.

    Number of intermediaries

    Companies have to decide on the number of intermediaries to use at each channel

    level. Three strategies are available:

    68

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    69/93

    Exclusive distribution

    It means severely limiting the number of

    intermediaries. It is used when the producer wants to maintain control over

    the service level and outputs offered by the resellers. Often it involves

    exclusive dealing arrangements. By granting exclusive distribution, the

    producers hopes to obtain more dedicated and knowledgeable selling. It

    requires greater partnership between seller and reseller and is used in

    distribution of new area.

    Selective distribution

    It involves the use of more than a few less than

    all of the intermediaries who are willing to carry a particular product. It is used

    by established companies and by new companies seeking distributors. The

    company does not have to worry about too many outlets; it can gain adequate

    market coverage with more control & less cost than intensive distribution.

    Intensive distribution

    It consists of the manufacture placing or services in

    as many outlets as possible. This strategy is generally used for items, such as

    69

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    70/93

    tobacco products, soap, snack, foods, and gums products, for which the

    consumer requires a great deal of location convenience.

    Manufactures are constantly tempted to move from exclusive or selective

    distribution to more intensive distribution to increase sales. This kind of

    strategy helps in short term, but often hurts long term performance. Intensive

    distribution increases product and service availability, but May also result in

    retailers competing aggressively, if price wars ensue, retailers profitability

    may also decline, potentially dampening retailer interest in supporting the

    product. It may also harm brand equity.

    Channel management decision

    In this there are five step in which a company make a better channel to sell

    their product or services:

    II. Reward power

    III. Legitimate power

    IV. Expert power

    V. Referent power

    Evaluating channel members

    Modifying channel arrangements

    No marketing channel will remain effective over the whole product life cycle. So

    this is most important that companies always make changes in their marketing

    channel.

    of certain organized procedures in order to get the intended result. In a word, a

    research works on its methods to serve its true purpose in any area of the knowledge

    domains. So, for working of a research project, you need to approach your study

    area in a systematic way, which is also recognized and familiar with the rest of the

    world-what I mean by this is that your research method must be recognized by all

    over the world or at least by the majority of the scientific community.

    CONCLUSION

    If we go through the SWOT analysis of JK White Cement product as a

    whole then I found that company have a very good standing at market place

    and JK White Cement have a very good corporate image among present

    companies and they should cash their image by effective use of marketing

    mix.

    83

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    84/93

    The advertisement campaign of JK White Cement is not too good then

    others. There is no field level activities is to be performed for increasing

    sales.

    From the survey, I found that lot of people aware of JK Wall putty . They

    ask only Birla wall putty to the retailer.

    In my research , I found that if J.K White Cement wants to stand in top

    position then they have to maintain themselves in some areas:

    1. Advertising

    2. Dealer board

    3. Availability ( distribution network)

    4. Ad material

    5. Daily visit of retailer shop by sales and marketing team.

    In my research, I found that JK White Cement have more market share in

    white share in white cement as compare to Birla White Cement.

    However JK White Cement have good image in market. But still company is

    not able to cash all opportunity, which are existing in the market.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    85

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    86/93

    In my survey, I found that JK White Cement had already a well position in the

    market now white cement means JK White Cement. The proof was that when I

    asked retailer which brand is more sell, and then he told me only one name. So the

    sage is shown is my data analysis. By following recommendation company can

    increases their market share:

    Company must emphasize on advertising and creating customer awareness.

    They should launch some other advertising campaign and also increase the

    frequency of old advertisement.

    The company must arrange very well structured and strong Distribution

    Network, while have a major role in any brand success of any brand.

    Company must provide dealer board display board and pop to the retailers

    by which awareness of consumer increases. They also have to give proper

    scheme & Stationary materials to the retailers.

    In my research, the biggest road block which I found is the visit of a sales

    person to the retailers shop. Every retailers told me that no company

    person comes to their shop for any kind of communication. Some retailers

    86

  • 8/2/2019 Project Report Jk White 2

    87/93

    not seen any companys person from last six month. So company give more

    consideration on this topic, just because of this point company lose their

    market share from their competitors.

    To become the market leader the company should increase the customers in

    the market.

    The company should have proper stock so that the demand of the customers

    can be easily full filled.

    The frequency of the advertisement must be increased throughout the year,

    The company should make regularly calls to its customer, so that they cannot

    think for others.

    The company should immediately respond to its customers.

    There must be fast action for complaints.

    The company should target project sell also.

    The company should maintain the approach to contact the project customers.

    A descriptive study with primary survey (questionnaire based) should be

    conducted to obtain quantitative results.

    87
