05/01/2023 CONCLUSION & SUGGESTION
According to the analysis people in Shimla are aware about the Kara wipes but they
are not using it much. Reason behind this may be the price and non-availability of
Kara wipes in markets.
The customer based is increased as wipes got visibility in modern market such as
super markets and hyper markets. Sales of these products are more in modern
markets as in these markets customer explore more products and chances of impulse
buying increased.
As the study suggests Kara wipes is gaining popularity by publicity through words
of mouth where customers are spreading the news about this product. But company
is not making any direct efforts to promote these products in Markets.
05/01/2023
Distribution channel is not working effectively in Shimla market as company
adopt 2-tier distribution system due to which market coverage is very less for
Kara wipes which results in less availability of wipes in different markets
Channel intermediaries are not making proper efforts to promote the product
and enhance the sales of this product. As intermediaries work for company to
promote the product but in case of Kara retailers are not interested in doing so.
Reason behind this is they are getting lower margin and benefits from company
as compared to other brand.
