Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
Out of 11 customers who attended the campaigns, freshness of the product was
learnt by 7 people, reliability of the Nandini brand was learnt by 5 people,
hygiene in production by 4 and no adulteration in Milk and its products by 2
respondents.
Out of 100 respondents 72% purchase Nandini Milk and Milk products.
Out of 72 respondents who purchase Nandini Milk and Milk products 74% feels
quality is great it is the main factor which influence them for repetitive purchase.
Then 27% says taste, 23 % feels availability, 17% says thickness, 16% feels price
which influence them in making purchase decision. Very less importance was
given by the customers to fat content (15%) and promotional activities (6%)
Out of 28 respondents who do not purchase Nandini Milk and Milk products
price was said as the major factor with 64% response which influence their
purchase decision. Second and third importance was given to availability and taste
by 32% and 29%. Quality 07%, Fat content (11%), thickness (07%) and
promotional activities (11%) are not major factors which prevents them for not
being the customers

SUGGESTIONS:
As there is very less awareness about Double toned milk the company should try
to promote this product.
The products like pot curd, Masala lassi, Sweet lassi has a great potential to grow
in the market but the awareness is little less. So the company must take
appropriate steps in order to increase the awareness. And much effort is needed to
promote Khoa and Paneer.
During the study I came to know that the availability of the milk products other
than milk is very less. So the other milk products also made available to customer
where ever the milk is available. That certainly increase the sales volume of milk
products
Consumers say they learnt about the product mainly through Television, wall
paintings and banners. And feels television ads, banners, ad boards were more
informatory. So the efforts of the company are going in a right direction. But only
suggestion is to increase the frequency television ads and ad boards
The customers expect Quality, taste and availability while purchasing the milk
and milk products and the company has reached the expectation in case of quality
and taste but a small effort is needed to increase the availability.
The non customers of Nandini says price is the major reason for not being. So the
company should make an attempt to make them understand the value for money
what they get from Nandini in terms of quality, and healthiness of the products.
Awareness campaigns have failed to reach majority of customers. So the number
of campaigns to be increased and to be made in such a place that the maximum
number of customers are covered.

Conclusion
After analysing the data of the study I conclude that the Toned milk is also in the
queue with 46% of awareness and the Double Toned Milk is showing very poor
awareness with only 15% of respondents are aware of it 29% felt wall paintings were
more informatory. Radio ads, magazines, and campaigns were felt less informatory to
about 15%, 16% and 10% respectively. Second and third importance was given to
availability and taste by 32% and 29%. Quality 07%, Fat content (11%), thickness
(07%) and promotional activities (11%) are not major factors which prevents them for
not being the customers.

MARKETING DEPARTMENT.
The marketing department of DMU is considerably extensive which covers an
Area viz., North Goa, Uttar Kannada district, Haveri, Gadag, Hubli and Dharwad.
Marketing of milk and products is done under brand name Nandini. Except
loose milk other products are marketed by KMF, the marketing agency.
Due to perishable nature of products the greatest responsibility is over marketing
department to all the products before losing its quality.
Before pre-liberalization (July 21st 1991) the DMU enjoyed a monopoly due to
co-operative organization and other benefits received from the state government. But
after July 21st 1991 the scenario totally changed, new private diaries started grounding
like mushrooms with entrance of private diaries the DMU facing a tough competition
resulting into major loss of market share gradually over the years. Today DMU has only
23 % of total market share. DMU operates in 17 cities/ towns having a total population of
1.05 million.

goodwill are,

etc
Awareness campaigns

ADVERTISEMENTS:
Now a days advertisement is the well known, most effective, and common means
of promotional activity. Advertisement is a complex form of communication that operates
with objectives and strategies leading to various types of impact on consumer thoughts,
feelings and actions. It is the best way to keep your customer updated and give an
introduction to the new customers. Also it helps the company in keeping its brands or
products on the top of the minds of the customers.
The following are the media vehicles used by the company for advertising its
products.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
37
MAGAZINES:
All the leading Kannada magazines are used by the company for advertising.
Especially the weekly and monthly magazines are used to a greater extent. The special
edition magazines like Deepawali edition, New year edition are also used. The main
advantage of this print media is we can give bit detailed information about the products.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
38
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
39
HOARDINGS:
These are also very effective ads, where in the large hoardings with the ad
message are put in the much clustered areas or on the sides of the roads. These are
designed in such a way that just to remind about the brands. Usually this doesnt give the
detailed information about the brand but to remind about the brand and to show the
availability.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
41
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
42
BANNERS:
Banners are also play important role in creating awareness. They are the one
which carry the message of the product or brand and catches the eye of consumers very
easily. They are so compatible in nature that you can use them at any place. For ex, the
banners can be used at dealers or outlets, can be tied in a crowded area, can be used in a
promotional campaigns etc
DEALER DISPLAYS:
The dealer displays are the display boards given by the company for displaying
the product information. They are exclusively given to dealers only which contain
lighting facility which make them clearly visible at the night also. These boards displays
the products that are available and also to make separate identity for the dealers.
AD BOARDS:
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
43
These are the tin boards and hard plastic boards which carry the information about
individual products and of all products. There are two types of ad boards, namely
Rectangle boards, cone boards. Usually these are used to advertise on public transport
systems (back of city bus) and to display at the dealer outlets.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
44
AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS:
Awareness campaigns are the campaigns organized by the KMF for promoting
the Nandini Milk and Milk products. The awareness campaigns are organized by the
marketing department of the company in which the company officials try to make the
consumers aware about all the products available at Nandini counter. Also the officials
try to convey the parameters which have to be looked while purchasing the milk and milk
products. The consumers are given knowledge of the steps taken by KMF in order to
provide them the healthier products which are processed with hygiene.
The company officials also give knowledge to the consumers that how they are
cheated by the private suppliers by doing adulteration and how that will affect their and
their childrens health.
In total the awareness campaigns never force the consumer to purchase the
Nandini products but help them in decision making by comparing Nandini products with
that of other private branded products.
Usually this kind of awareness campaigns are organized in developing market and
in the areas where the sales is less, and in the area where comparatively less educated
people are there. Because the less educated consumers are week in decision making so
these campaigns gives them a platform to think and decide.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com
45
There are two types of awareness campaigns practiced by the company. They are:
MASS CAMPAIGNS:
Mass campaigns are carried over where there is a crowd. In such areas the
officials take opportunity to make the crowd understand about the quality of the product,
the factors to be looked after while purchasing the milk products. And also educate the
crowd about the product mix of Nandini.
These type of campaigns are organized in Melas, Fairs, and in sponsored
programs like Mahila Mandal programs, functions in school and colleges etc...
Compared to door to door campaigns the mass campaigns are less expensive and
less time consuming. But the results of mass campaigns are not so favorable as of door to
door campaigns.

---SUGGESTIONS
SUGGESTIONS:
As there is very less awareness about Double toned milk the company should try
to promote this product.
The products like pot curd, Masala lassi, Sweet lassi has a great potential to grow
in the market but the awareness is little less. So the company must take
appropriate steps in order to increase the awareness. And much effort is needed to
promote Khoa and Paneer.
During the study I came to know that the availability of the milk products other
than milk is very less. So the other milk products also made available to customer
where ever the milk is available. That certainly increase the sales volume of milk
products
Consumers say they learnt about the product mainly through Television, wall
paintings and banners. And feels television ads, banners, ad boards were more
informatory. So the efforts of the company are going in a right direction. But only
suggestion is to increase the frequency television ads and ad boards
The customers expect Quality, taste and availability while purchasing the milk
and milk products and the company has reached the expectation in case of quality
and taste but a small effort is needed to increase the availability.
The non customers of Nandini says price is the major reason for not being. So the
company should make an attempt to make them understand the value for money
what they get from Nandini in terms of quality, and healthiness of the products.
Awareness campaigns have failed to reach majority of customers. So the number
of campaigns to be increased and to be made in such a place that the maximum
number of customers are covered.

queue with 46% of awareness and the Double Toned Milk is showing very poor
awareness with only 15% of respondents are aware of it 29% felt wall paintings were
more informatory. Radio ads, magazines, and campaigns were felt less informatory to
