A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION

INTRODUCTION

SALES PROMOTION

Broadly speaking promotion means to push forward or to advance an idea in

such a way to gain its acceptance and approval. Promotion is any communicative

activity whose main object is to move forwards the product, service or idea in a

channel of distribution.

It is an effort by the marketer to inform and persuade buyers to accept,

resell, recommend and use the article, service or idea which is being promoted.

Promotion is a form of communication with an additional element of persuasion.

The promotional activity always attempts to affect knowledge, attitudes

preferences and behaviours of the recipients i.e. buyers. The element of persuasion

to accept ideas, product, services, etc is the heart of promotion.

In any exchange activity, communication is absolutely necessary. You may

have the best product, package and so on. It may have fair price. But people will

not buy your product, if they have never heard of it, and they are simply unaware

of its existence.

The marketer must communicate to his prospective buyer and provide

adequate information in a persuasive language. People must know that the right

product is available at the right place and at the right price; this is the job of

promotion in marketing

What is Promotion?

Promotion is a process of marketing communication involving information,

persuasion and influence. Promotion has three specific purposes. It communicates

marketing information to consumer, users and resellers.

Promotion persuades and convinces the buyer and enters into consumer

behavior. Promotional efforts act as a powerful tool of competition providing the

cutting edge of its entire marketing programme.

Marketers have adopted a communication view of their firm’s promotional

activities. Receiver is now regarded as an active participant in the process of

communication. All marketing communications must be planned as part of the total

system, not as independent pieces. The communication or promotion mixes four

ingredients viz:

Advertising

All forms of sales promotion

PLANNING PROMOTIONS TO BENEFIT THE CONSUMER:

Promotions, which deliver value, will go a long way in building customer

franchise; marketers must work out different promotions to attract various kinds of

customers. Make use of lose of more for less to attract the promise could buyer

who switch brands frequently, here the opportunity of getting a bargain will prove

to be a source of value for the customer.

Reward the regular buyers with a lower price during certain months of the

year; here the marketer must make effort to convey that there few promotion offers

are exclusively meant for their regular buyers only. Offer lesser prices and

communicate a feeling of protecting them against inflation, this gesture will ensure

that the consumers will remember the value of getting the same for a lower price

especially when the value of money is corded by rising prices .

When prospective consumers are postponing their purchase decision

especially seen in the core of consumer durables promotions in the form of

discounts, freebies etc. could motivate them to take the decisions more quickly.

Objectives of Sales Promotion

You have learnt that the main objective of sales promotion is to increase sales.

However, there are also some other objectives of sales promotion. The objectives

are:

i. To introduce new products

ii. To attract new customers and retain the existing ones

iii. To maintain sales of seasonal products

iv. To meet the challenge of competition

Let us learn about these objectives in details.

(i) To introduce new products: Have you ever heard about distribution of

free samples? Perhaps you know that many companies distribute free samples

while introducing new products. The consumers after using these free samples may

develop a taste for it and buy the products later for consumption.

(ii) To attract new customers and retain the existing ones: Sales

promotion measures help to attract or create new customers for the products. While

moving in the market, customers are generally attracted towards the product that

offers discount, gift, prize, etc on buying. These are some of the tools used to

encourage the customers to buy the goods. Thus, it helps to retain the existing

customers, and at the same time it also attracts some new customers to buy the

product.

HKBK DEGREE COLLEGE Page 4

Page 5: A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION AT BAJAJ

A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION

(iii) To maintain sales of seasonal products: There are some products like

air conditioner, fan, refrigerator, cooler, winter clothes, room heater, sunscreen

lotion, glycerin soap etc., which are used only in particular seasons.

To maintain the sale of these types of products normally the manufactures and

dealers give off-season discount. For example, you can buy air conditioner in winter

at a reduced price. Similarly you may get discount on winter clothes during summer.

(iv) To meet the challenge of competition: Today’s business faces

competition all the time.New products frequently come to the market and at the same

time improvement also takes place. So sales promotion measures have become

essential to retain the market share of the seller or producer in the product-market

Tools of Sales Promotion

To increase the sale of any product manufactures or producers adopt different

measures like sample, gift, bonus, and many more. These are known as tools or

techniques or methods of sales promotion. Let us know more about some of the

commonly used tools of sales promotion.

(i) Free samples: You might have received free samples of shampoo,

washing powder, coffee powder, etc. while purchasing various items from

the market. Sometimes these free samples are also distributed by the

shopkeeper even without purhasing any item from his shop. These are

distributed to attract consumers to try out a new product and thereby create

new customers. Some businessmen distribute samples among selected

HKBK DEGREE COLLEGE Page 5

Page 6: A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION AT BAJAJ

A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION

persons in order to popularize the product. For example, in the case of medicine free

samples are distributed among physicians, in the case of textbooks, specimen copies are

distributed among teachers.

(ii) Premium or Bonus offer: A milk shaker along with Nescafe, mug with

Bournvita, toothbrush with 500 grams of toothpaste, 30% extra in a pack of one kg.

are the examples of premium or bonus given free with the purchase of a product. They

are effective in inducing consumers to buy a particular product. This is also useful for

encouraging and rewarding existing customers.

(iii) Exchange schemes: It refers to offering exchange of old product for a new

product at a price less than the original price of the product. This is useful for drawing

attention to product improvement. ‘Bring your old mixer-cum-juicer and exchange it

for a new one just by paying Rs.500’ or ‘exchange your black and white television

with a colour television’ are various popular examples of exchange scheme.

(iv) Price-off offer: Under this offer, products are sold at a price lower than the

original price.‘Rs. 2 off on purchase of a lifebouy soap, Rs. 15 off on a pack of 250

grams of Taj Mahal tea, Rs. 1000 off on cooler’ etc. are some of the common

schemes. This type of scheme is designed to boost up sales in off-season and

sometimes while introducing a new product in the market.

(v) Coupons: Sometimes, coupons are issued by manufacturers either in the packet

of a product or through an advertisement printed in the newspaper or magazine or

through mail. These coupons can be presented to the retailer while buying the

product. The holder of the coupon gets the product at a discount. For example, you

HKBK DEGREE COLLEGE Page 6

Page 7: A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION AT BAJAJ

A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION

might have come across coupons like, ‘show this and get Rs.

15 off on purchase of 5 kg. of Annapurna Atta’. The reduced price under this scheme

attracts the attention of the prospective customers towards new or improved products.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

HISTORY OF INDIAN TWO—WHEELER INDUSTRY

HKBK DEGREE COLLEGE Page 12

Page 13: A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION AT BAJAJ

A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION

India is the second largest manufacturer and

producer of two –wheelers in the world. It stands next only to Japan and China in

terms of the numbers of two-wheelers produced and domestic sales respectively.

This distinction was achieved due to variety of reasons like restrictive policy

followed by the Government of India towards the passenger car industry, rising

demand for personal transport. Inefficiency in the public transportation system etc;

The Indian two wheeler industry made a small beginning in the early 50s

when automobile products of India (API) started manufacturing scooters in the

country. Until 1958, API and Enfield were the sole producers.

In1948. Bajaj Auto began trading in imported Vespa scooters and three –

wheelers. Finally, in 1960, it setup a shop to manufacture them in technical

collaboration with Piaggio of Italy.

In the initial stages the scooter segment was dominated by API: it was later

overtaken by Bajaj Auto. Although various government and private enterprises

entered the fray for scooters, the only new player that has lasted till today is LML.

The motorcycles segment was no different, with only three manufactures viz

Enfield, Ideal Jawa and escorts. While Enfield bullet was a four –stroke bike, Jawa

and the Rajdoot were two-stroke bikes. The motorcycle segment was initially

dominated by Enfield 350 cc bikes and Escorts 175 cc bike.

HKBK DEGREE COLLEGE Page 13

Page 14: A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION AT BAJAJ

A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION

The two –wheeler market was opened to foreign

competition in the mid-80s. And the then market leaders-Escorts and Enfield- were

caught unaware by the onslaught of the 100cc bikes of the four Indo –Japanese

joint ventures. With the availability of fuel efficient low power bikes, demand

swelled, resulting in Hero Honda then the only producer of four stroke bikes

(100cc category), gaining a top slot.

The first Japanese motorcycles were introduced in the early eighties. TVS

Suzuki and Hero Honda brought in the first two-stroke and four-stroke engine

motorcycles respectively. These two players initially started with assembly of CKD

kits, and later on progressed to indigenous manufacturing. In the 90s the major

growth for motorcycle segment was brought in by Japanese motorcycled, which

grew at a rate of nearly 25 % CAGR in the last five years.

The industry had a smooth ride in the 50s, 60s and 70s when the

Government prohibited new entries and strictly controlled capacity expansion. The

industry saw a sudden growth in the 80s. The industry witnessed a steady growth

of 14 % leading to a peak volume of 1.9 vehicles in 1990.

The entry of Kinetic Honda in mid – eighties with a variomatic scooter

helped in providing ease of use to the scooter owners. This helped in inducing

youngsters and working women, towards buying scooters, who were earlier,

inclined towards moped purchases. In the 90s, this trend was reversed with the

introduction of scooters, In line with this; the scooter segment has consistently lost

its Part of the market share in two wheeler market.

In 1990, the entire automobile industry saw a drastic fall in demand. This

resulted in a decline of 15% in 1991 and 8% in 1992, resulting in a production loss

of 0.4mn vehicles. Barring Hero Honda, all the major producers suffered from

recession in FY93 and FY94. Hero Honda, showed a marginal decline in 1992.

HKBK DEGREE COLLEGE Page 14

Page 15: A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION AT BAJAJ

A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION

The reasons for recession in the sector were the

incessant rise in fuel prices, high input costs and reduced purchasing power due to

significant rise in general price level and credit crunch in consumer financing.

Factors like increased production in 1992, due to new entrants coupled with the

recession in the industry resulted in company either reporting losses or a fall in

profits.

THE MAJOR PLAYERS IN THE INDUSTRY:

1. Hero Honda

2. Bajaj Auto

3. TVS Suzuki

4. Yamaha India

5. Honda

HERO HONDA:

This is in collaboration with the Honda Company of Japan; it was the second

company to enter the Indian market in the 100 cc class bikes with the collaboration

of Japan and it has a four stroke engine having a fuel efficiency advantage over the

three bikes.

Fill it, shut it, forget it, is the heart of the advertisement message of Hero Honda.

Hero Honda is at present running the loose motor cycle market having a market

share of 60%. ‘

COMPANY PROFILE

The Bajaj Group came into existence by Jamnalal Bajaj, founder of the Bajaj

Group, during the turmoil and the heady euphoria of India's freedom struggle. The

integrity, dedication, resourcefulness and determination to succeed which are

characteristic of the company today, are often traced back to its birth during those long

days of relentless devotion to a common cause.

Kamalnayan, the eldest son OF Jamnalal Bajaj, succeeded his father in 1942, at

the age of twenty-seven. Putting the Nation before business, he devoted himself to the

latter only after India achieved independence in 1947. But when he did so, he put his

heart and soul into it. Within a short while, he not only consolidated the Group, but

also diversified into various manufacturing activities, elevating the Group to the status

it enjoys till this day.

Rahul Bajaj today heads the Group. He has been the Chief Executive Officer

of Bajaj since 1968 and is recognized as one of the most outstanding business

leaders in India. As dynamic and ambitious as his illustrious predecessors, he

has been recognized for his achievements at various national and international firms.

Bajaj is currently India's largest two and three-wheeler manufacturer and one of

the biggest in the world. Bajaj has long left behind its annual turnover of Rs. 72

million (1968), to currently register an impressive figure of Rs. 42.16 billion (US

$936 million).

Established in 1945, Bajaj Auto ltd. was incorporated as a trading company.

Till 1959, they imported scooters and three-wheelers from Italy and sold them in

India. The company got a production license in the year 1959 and fastened the

technical collaboration with Italian PIAGGIO in 1960.

Honda CBZ. Later Bajaj introduced Pulsar 150 cc DTS-I with digital twin spark

ignition and till today Pulsar is one of the most sought after bike in the 150 cc

segment. It has definitely won over other bikes, but let us justifies its triumph.

The engineers at Bajaj realized the fact that there is no

beauty and only brawn; it is not going to sell in the Indian market. Claimed to be

designed and developed in Japan, this bike does have a head turning looks. The

most noticeable feature of this bike is the tank. Big tanks give a big bike feel, and

when Pulsar was introduced, it had one of the biggest tanks in India.

Engine

The new Pulsar's 150cc engine delivers a power output of 13.10bhp at 8000

rpm. It has a wonderful pickup clocking 0-60kmph in 5.66 seconds. It produces a

maximum torque of 12.28 Nm @ 6500 rpm. The Pulsar engine remains relatively

smooth but when pushed hard it does lose some of its smoothness. Also at low

speed and at low momentum the Pulsar engine does feel a bit lumpy. Compared to

the other 150-160 cc bikes, the Pulsar 150 DTSi can be described as the "Jack of all

trades" that doesn't quite excel in any particular parameter but has a lot of decent

features.

Design And Comfort

As part of its 2009 pulsar series, Bajaj has added few new features to its

flagship product pulsar 150cc. The new pulsar 150cc gets tank scoops borrowed

from the pulsar 200cc. The decals on the tank are large and stylish. It also gets full

black theme - from engine to alloy wheels to shock absorber. Pulsar 150cc also

gets a powerful headlamp which now gets power directly from the battery.

However the engine remains unchanged, the transmission is slick and precise. Heel

and toe lever gives pulsar 150cc an attractive look. But the rattles and squeaks are

still not sorted which will be quite evident in any test ride. The headlight comes

with city lights or tell-tale lights which are a value addition to its looks. The tail

part of the bike is nicely designed. The new razor sharp rear light definitely adds to

the uniqueness of Bajaj Pulsar.

Ride and Handling

Riding position on the Pulsar 150 DTSi is much sportier as compared to other

bikes. The quality of the ride is the best among the 150 cc bikes, thanks to its plush

shock absorbers. Even the handling is not too bad on the 150 Pulsar DTSi, except

that the shock absorbers are set to pamper your back rather than attacking the race

tracks. The clutch works perfectly but the gearbox still needs a bit of improvement.

It hits a top speed of 108kmph.

Variants And Colour

New Pulsar 150 comes in 4 different colours: Black, Blue, Red, and Silver

PULSAR 135 DTS-i

Bajaj Pulsar’s another commuter variant to have graced the Indian tarmac is the

elegant 135 cc four valve DTS-i engine and being a light sports bike, it has both the

power and agility to let you weave your way through the city traffic, effortlessly

Based on the findings of the study stating some of the important suggestions that

the company can really go for to extend its operation market share, profit and so

on.

1. CONCENTRATE ON EFFECTIVE AND INFORMATIVE

ADVERTISEMENT STRATEGY

In order to attract and retain the customers the company should

a. Develop both the informative and attractive advertisement strategies

b. Company should go for advertising about the product in almost all the medias

c. Regular modifications should be the content of the advertisement

d. The presentation of the advertisement should be appealing to the customer

2. REWARDS FOR THE BEST DEALERS

In the present competitive markets, a company can be develop on its own efforts. It

has to depend on others, i.e. it has to take effective support from its dealers . To get

effective support it has to study and motivate them like:

The company has to provide rewards , awards, offers, discount to its

dealers to promote its products very effectively in the domestic market. If

implemented definitely they may lend to tremendous increase in the turnover of the

company

3. EFFICIENCY IN AFTER SALES SERVICE:

Page 78: A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION AT BAJAJ

A STUDY ON SALES PROMOTION

Retaining few satisfied customer is as good as attracting

ten new customers . It implies that a company can easily increases the number of

its customers but is very difficulty to retain them.

In order to retain the customers especially the company should:

a. Give more importance to the quality of the sales service.

b. Remind the customer as to when they have to get their vehicles serviced.

c. Give tips to them on maintenance of vehicles

4. CUSTOMER RESEARCH STUDY:

This is also one of the important tools to the company to know that extra facilities

the customers are expecting from the company and how they are comparing out

vehicles with vehicles of computers etc...

As most of the customers expecting that the improvement should be done on the

seating of bajaj pulsar, it is necessary for the company to concentrate on this

aspect. This is because one should feel comfortable in riding; this intern depends

on the seating arrangement of the vehicles.

5. PROMOTIONAL STRATEGIES:

Festival offers, Exchange melas, offer of gold coins and other valuable things can

be introduced in order to increase its turnover. Provide the financial schemes to

increase the sales.

CONCLUSION

From the study it is concluded that majority of the customers satisfied by the

pulsar rendered by Bajaj.

While doing this project I came to know how challenging it is to satisfy the

present day customers, I also realized various types of customers right from those

who have genuine to ego kind of problems, but how important it is to satisfy all of

them.

During the course of project i also understood that all customers cannot be

satisfied all the times it is only how well can we come to the satisfaction level,

which actually matters.

It is also understood that the volume of customers is mainly from the youth

section and is mainly male population which means that the company should be

more youth centric and at the same time should have a different marketing strategy

for the elder population as they need to be pushed to the market.
