Customer is riddle. He is a highly complex entirely. His needs and desire are innumerable and they very from security needs to aesthetic needs. Customer is difficult puzzle to a marketer. And the marketer’s job remain challenging mainly because he had to predict the unpredictable-customer.
Here research plays an important role to organization in understanding the customer more clearly. It transfers necessary views, ideas, suggestion and other informanation from customers to organization and vice-versa.
Thus research helps to bring the customer closer to organation. Which in turn enables the marketer to analyze the customer.
LimitationEvery action has equal and opposite reaction so everythin have some advantages and limitation also.Therefore, the investigation has some limitations.
It is very costly where the number of persons to be interview is large and
they are spread over a wide geographical area.
The chances of personal prejudice and bias are greater under direct
interview method.
More time is required for collecting information.

About Ice-cream
Introduction
The ice cream market growth picked up after de-reservation of the sector
in 1997. Of the total size of Rs 15-16bn, around 30-32% is in the hands of
organized sector valued at Rs 4.9bn, rest all is with the unorganized sector.
Among the major players in this industry Hindustan Lever has a market share of
around 50%, represented mainly by Kwality Walls brand. Amul with an
estimated market share of 35% is rapidly gaining market share and lastly
Vadilal is the player in the national market with 8-9% of the market share.
Production area
In rural areas, kulfis / ice creams made by small / cottage industry are popular.
The market for organized sector is restricted to large metro-politan cities. In
small towns and villages, there are thousands of small players who produce ice-
creams / kulfis in their home backyard and cater to the local market. Almost
40% of the ice creams are sold in the country are consumed in the Western
region with Mumbai being the main market, followed by 30% in the north and
20% in the south.

Growth promotional activities
The Indian government adopted the policy of liberalization regarding the
ice-cream industry also and it is since then that this sector has shown an annual
growth ranging from 15- 20% per annum for last 1- 2 year. Presently in 1999-
00 it is estimated at worth of Rs15- 16bn. This growth rate is expected to
continue for another next 2- 3 years because of lower base.
Types
Indian Ice-cream market can be segmented in three different ways, namely on
the basis of
flavour; on the basis of stock keeping units / packaging and on the basis of
consumer segments.
On the basis of flavour, the market today has a number of flavours like vanilla,
strawberry,
chocolate, mango, butterscotch a number of fruit flavour, dry fruit flavour,
traditional flavor
like Kesar- Pista, Kaju- Draksh etc.
The market is totally dominated by Vanilla, Butterscotch, Strawberry and
chocolate, Mango
which together accounts for more than 70% of the market followed by vanilla,
butter-scotch and other fruit flavour.

Explanation
In our survey, we took eighteen retailer of different stall. We asked them reason
of choosing different brand of ice-cream and their flavour. We got a output that
88% of retailer are satisfied with the availability. 78% of people choosing ice-
cream only for taste of the ice-cream,55% of retailer traced price of the ice-
cream. 55% customer are traced on brand name and flavour of the ice-cream.
Findings of the study :
1. Sales of omfed ice-cream is not influenced by the brand name,
perhaps there are other reasons which influences the sales of icecream.
2. the average daily sales of icecream is Rs.400.00.
3. the margin given on icecream is less as per the discussion with the
retailers but the given margin does not effect the sales of ice cream .
S.C.S (AUTO) COLLEGE ,PURI Page 24
[“A STUDY FACTORS AFFECTING FOR CONSUMPTION OF OMFED ICECREAM IN BHUBANESWAR”]
2012
The graphical representation of correlation among these two variables
are evidence in support of the statement.
4. OMFED ice cream is preferred in every season so it is found that the average
daily sales in the season including summer season is slightly high then the
average daily sales of summer season.
5. Among all the variants of OMFED ice cream Butter Scotch strawberry is
preferred much by the customers.
6. OMFED ice cream is satisfies both retailers and customers as 67% are
shown satisfaction in their approach.
7. As there is a stiff competition of other brands in icecream though only 6%
rated omfed as very good in them of overall performance but 72% have rated
the ice cream as good.
Suggestions :
1. It is found that retailers are seeking some credit facility from the
company. So its should be taken care.
2. Some retailer also complained about the availability though in our study
as per the limitation of time the sample size is very less it is found 100%.
3. Butter scotch is more preferred than other variants. So it can be suggested
that keeping that flavour other variants should be developed.
S.C.S (AUTO) COLLEGE ,PURI Page 25
[“A STUDY FACTORS AFFECTING FOR CONSUMPTION OF OMFED ICECREAM IN BHUBANESWAR”]

4. Most of the omfed ice cream are available in ice cream parlour but it is
not found in other variety stores and stationary shops. So availability
should be made in other counters also.
5. Damage replacement facility is not given by the omfed which is highly
recommended by the retailers. Because ice cream is vulnerable to damage
by many reason as season, proper procurement, mishandling the damage
replacement facility will motivate the retailer to keep the stock in hand.
6. From the interview with the retailer it is found that omfed is not
providing proper promotional offer in terms of advertisements, offers,
discounts etc. which is relatively high in other competitive brand. So it is
recommended that the advertisement, banner, posters, and other
promotional offer to the retailers should given to the retailers for the
mutual benefit.

CONCLUSIONFrom the survey, it is clearly related that the company has
market in Orissa, basically at Cuttack and Bhubaneswar area. While
comparing to all ice-cream company, the price of the quantum is
relatively high based on its quality .which will make the retailer to go
for another product. The company must adopt the price-range which
will be affordable by the consumers, retail counters, hotels,
restaurants and also push-cart sales person. The company must
consider the dealers as their part but not separate entity as they play a
dominant role for the product, its promotion and marketing network.
Take feed-back and ideas from the groups and according to
these suggestion and ideas make a relevant and better strategy. The
most tremendous factor is that to motivate the groups to meet the
target and always build good relation and co-operation in the market
with dealers and also organizations. Sub-ordinate companies should
be taken care of dealer’s. and Give time to dealers for cash repayment
of sales easily.
