PREFACEMarketing is now regarded as a system of integrated business activities and marketing management plays a vital role in developing strategies, plans and programmes for each typical market activity in order to satisfy consumer as well as firm’s need.

Marketing Management assumes unique importance under the widened market concept. Marketing management performs all functions from planning to controlling. When we talk about marketing management it mainly includes plans and decisions relating to product, price, promotion, place and people.
The marketing mix, a combination of submixes, has been discussed by a number of experts. The four submixes of marketing mix, such as the product mix, the price, the place, the promotion, no doubt are found significant even to the banking organizations but in addition to the traditional combinations of recipies, the marketing experts have also been talking about some more mixes for getting the brst result. The “People” as a submix is now found getting a new place in the management of marketing mix. The other submix “Process” gravitates our attention on the way of offering the services. It is much more impact generating that your promises reach to the ultimate users without any distortion.

“What Is AVIVA Life
Insurance?”….
Life Insurance policies can be paid in a lump sum or in several
installments; the amount of money you pay to your insurance
company is called a premium.
26
When you buy a Life Insurance policy you provide a measure of
financial security to your beneficiaries (family, loved ones) so
that upon death they will be able to meet financial
responsibilities previously covered by your income.
We recommend you to speak to a Licensed Life Insurance agent
in your state by doing a search in our site, so that you can
determine how much protection you need and can afford, as
well as what type of Life Insurance policy to choose.
These are the most common Life Insurance types:
Term Life Insurance
Permanent / Whole Life Insurance
There are other variations of Life Insurance policies, such as,
Universal Life, Excess Interest Whole Life, Variable Life, Limited-
Payment Whole Life and Single-Premium Whole Life.
27
We recommend you to speak to a local licensed insurance
agent so that you can learn more about Life Insurance. Please
feel free to contact the licensed agents listed on our site for
more.
AVIVA Life Insurance
Overview:-
Life insurance is something that not everybody is comfortable
talking about, or even thinking about. When we are young and
28
healthy, we feel immortal. The unexpected death of a loved one
or us is the furthest thing from our minds.
However, the fact of the matter is it is never too early to start
thinking about your family’s protection in the event of tragedy.
All life insurance professionals agree that the sooner you start
thinking about life insurance the more options and the more
affordable life insurance can be. There are many logical
answers to the question “Why Buy Life Insurance?...
What to Look For
It’s easy to get a free quote on affordable life insurance for
your family. However a low monthly premium should not be
your only consideration when shopping for a life insurance
policy. You need to carefully consider what is best for your
family. People often do not realize just how much money is
needed to support a family given the tragic loss of a primary
income provider. Besides the monthly expenses such as rent
and mortgage that your spouse may now be left with, have you
considered the cost of a funeral, health benefits which may not
be continued in the event of death of a working spouse, the
additional childcare expenses that may now be required of a
29
single parent? The list goes on and on. In this discussion of life
insurance basics we will help you make an informed and
educated decision on the type and amount of life insurance
that is best for your needs and your budget.
Types of AVIVA Life
Insurance
What is AVIVA Life Insurance? Life insurance at its
most basic level is a contract between you and a life insurance
company to pay a sum of money to your beneficiaries in the
30
event of your death, to cover expenses and make up for the
lack of your income. Life Insurance premiums are based on the
type of insurance you buy, the benefit amount, and your
chances of dying based on your over all health and lifestyle,
during the period when the policy is in effect.
There are basically two types of life insurance. You may have
heard of them - Term Life Insurance and Permanent Life
insurance. In this discussion we will review in broad terms the
difference between the two. You can find more details on Term
Life Insurance and the various types of Permanent Life
Insurance at any time by accessing these links.
Term Life Insurance – As the name implies, Term
Life insurance is life insurance that you purchase for a
specific length of time, usually 5, 10 or 20 years. At the
end of the term you are given the option of renewing the
policy. Term Life insurance is strictly that, only life
insurance that pays a death benefit, as opposed to
Permanent Life insurance policies that accrue cash value.
Term Life pays a lump sum single benefit at the time of
death. Your family can use that money to cover funeral
expenses, immediate bills, and invest in annuities to make
31
up for the loss of salary to pay on-going monthly
expenses. Term Life insurance is the easiest and most
affordable life insurance to obtain. Term Life insurance is
great for young families just starting out.
Permanent Life Insurance – Unlike Term Life
insurance, there is no fixed time limit to Permanent Life
insurance, so long as you keep making your monthly
premium payments the contract between you and the life
insurance company remains in effect. The other key
difference between permanent and term life insurance is
that a Permanent Life insurance policy gains “cash value”
Part of your monthly premium goes into a tax-deferred
investment account that you do have access to while you
are alive. There are various types of Permanent Life
insurance such as Whole Life, Universal Life and Variable-
Universal Life.
How Much Do I Need?
32
That is a very good question, especially since the answer will
change over time depending on your age and life
circumstances. You may feel you may not even need life
insurance at all if you are young and single, but with the
average cost of a funeral being $10,000.00 or more, you have
reason to consider it. Once you have people that depend on
your income such as a spouse and children, life insurance is an
absolute necessity. Even then your needs will change as your
standard of living changes and your family grows. A young
family with an infant and a small rental apartment will
obviously require less life insurance then a family with a house,
a mortgage, and two kids in college. Feel free to use our
benefits calculator to help determine the right amount for your
circumstances.
No matter what stage of life you are in here are some basic
guidelines and considerations to determine the amount of life
insurance you will need.
Be sure to consider the cost of a funeral. Even if your final
wishes do not include a traditional burial, the cost needs
to be factored into your death benefit. It is advisable to
find out a good approximate cost of whatever final
33
arrangements you chose. Also when considering “final
costs” that may be incurred by your beneficiaries be sure
to consider all federal and state taxes that may be due
immediately upon your death. These usually amount to
10% of the total value of your Estate.
The next thing to consider is the effect of your loss of
income on your family. You need to project how long you
think your family will need to “make up” for your lost
income. Will your spouse work? Remarry in a short
amount of time? You need to discuss such matters.
Consider all of your debt and your monthly expenses
determine the amount of money that your family needs
yearly to make up for your lost income, and multiply that
by the amount of years you think they will need it and you
will have arrived at your minimum required amount of Life
Insurance. So if you think they will need $50,000.00 a year
for 10 years, you will need at least a $ 500,000.00 policy.
Finally consider the amount of debt that you family will be
faced with upon your death, you may want them to have
enough to pay that off in a lump sum, rather then making
34
that part of their monthly expenses determined in (2)
above.
Once you have done your best to determine your needs, it is
advisable to discuss benefit amounts with one of our qualified
life insurance agents, who will help ensure you get the right
amount of coverage that is best for you.
Unit Linked Insurance
plans
Unit linked Insurance plans (ULIP) is life insurance solution
that provides for the benefits of protection and
flexibility in investment. The investment is
denoted as units and is represented by the
value that it has attained called as Net Asset
Value (NAV). The policy value at any time varies according to
the value of the underlying assets at the time. ULIP provides
multiple benefits to the consumer.
The benefits include:
Life protection
35
Investment Options
Transparency
Adjustable Life Cover
Flexibility
Liquidity
Tax planning
Investment and Savings
Options to take additional cover against- Death due to
accident, Disability, Critical Illness, Surgeries etc.
In a ULIP, the insurer deducts charges towards life insurance
(mortality charges), administration charges and fund
management charges. The rest of the premium is used to
invest in a fund that invests money in stocks or bonds. The
policyholder’s share in the fund is represented by the number
of units. The value of the unit is determined by the total value
of all the investments made by the fund divided by the number
of units. If the insurance company offers a range of funds, the
insured can direct the company to invest in the fund of his
choice. Insurers usually offer four choices:
36
Bond fund, Secured Fund,
Balanced Fund, Growth
Fund
So, in ULIPS is that the investor knows exactly what is
happening to his money and two, it allows the investor to
choose the assets into which he wants his funds invested.
Unit plans are investment plans for those who realise the worth
of hard-earned money. These plans help you see your savings
yield rich benefits and help you save tax even if you don't have
consistent income.
Unit-linked insurance plans, ULIPs, are distinct from the more
familiar ‘with profits’ policies sold for decades by the Life
Insurance Corporation. ‘With profits’ policies are called so
because investment gains (profits) are distributed to
policyholders in the form of a bonus announced every year.
ULIPs also serve the same function of providing insurance
protection against death and provision of long-term savings,
37
but they are structured differently. In ‘with profits’ policies, the
insurance company credits the premium to a common pool
called the ‘life fund’, after setting aside funds for the risk
premium on life insurance management expenses.
Every year, the insurer calculates how much has to be paid to
settle death and maturity claims. The surplus in the life fund
left after meeting these liabilities is credited to policyholders’
accounts in the form of a bonus.
In a ULIP too, the insurer deducts charges towards life
insurance (mortality charges), administration charges and fund
management charges. The rest of the premium is used to
invest in a fund that invests money in stocks or bonds. The
policyholder’s share in the fund is represented by the number
of units.
The value of the unit is determined by the total value of all the
investments made by the fund divided by the number of units.
If the insurance company offers a range of funds, the insured
can direct the company to invest in the fund of his choice.
38
Insurers usually offer three choices- an equity (growth) fund,
balanced fund and a fund which invests in bonds. In both ‘with
profits’ policies as well as unit-linked policies, a large part of the
first year premium goes towards paying the agents’
commissions.
Why do insurers
prefer ULIPs?
39
Insurers love ULIPs for several reasons. Most important of all,
insurers can sell these policies with less capital of their
own than what would be required if they sold traditional
policies.
In traditional ‘with profits’ policies, the insurance company
bears the investment risk to the extent of the assured
amount. In ULIPs, the policyholder bears most of the
investment risk.
Since ULIPs are devised to mobilise savings, they give
insurance companies an opportunity to get a large chunk of the
asset management business, which has been traditionally
dominated by mutual funds.

LIMITATIONS
i) Sample size is small and may not be representative of
the universe of study i.e. Jammu and Udhampur city.
ii) Some times no exact data is found as customers
doesn’t provide exact information.
iii) Efforts for the marketing of company products are
less and hence there is less awareness and usage
of most of the “AVIVA” policies.
101
iv) Some question carry multiple response and percentage
have not been computed for them.
v) The analysis is based entirely on responses of
individuals and may vary with future changing trends.
vi) Time constraint.
vii) As the data is collected in the month of dec to feb, the result could not be considered consistent for the whole year.
viii) I faced problem of avoidance towards giving information. The customer thinks it to be Useless and wastage of time.
In spite of the above limitations an effort has been made to
make the analysis possible and reliable after cross
examination of the data supplied by the concern branch of the
company.

CONCLUSION
Working with AVIVA Life Insurance for two months was a very
nice and a good learning experience. It has helped me a lot
learning about different kinds of investments and the pros-
corns of its. It has also helped me to know about how works in a
corporate world is done.
Though we had a very nice experience but we had to
face some problems even, like we were not given any identity
card by the company so sometime it became very difficult for
us to convince people that we are from the company and not
an agent. Mostly small investors are not satisfied with the
charges of the AVIVA ULIP.
1. Customers are much more relying upon AVIVAULIP’S
Plans.
2. People don‘t rely upon private insurance sector.
117
3. All products are not attractive to the customers so that
kind of products are very hard to sale.
4. Less number of traditional plans that’s why people who
really need traditional plans are still not satisfied.
5. Majority of the customers are satisfied with the beneficial
schemes the company.
6. Majority of the customers are satisfied with the service of
the company.
Suggestions and
Recommendations ;-
Following are a few suggestions;
like the company should carry out market research on a
regular basis. This will facilitate indication of customer
groups, analysis of the customer needs and requirements. It
will be helped in engendering valuable feed back to the
officers to assess the level of customer satisfaction, which in
turn could be used in upgrading the service levels;
It is recommended to the concern that it should try to
differentiate their policies and establish exclusive brand
names for them.
118
Company should use more modern information devices to
inform the customer about its products and policies.
Company should use the E- banking concept, to compete in
modern banking environment with the private banks.
It is suggested to increase its branches at different areas to
provide convenience for customers.
It is suggested that concern should also provide regular
training to their employees. Proper training will keep the
employees knowledge up to-date and they will be able to
serve customer in a better way. It will help them in
promoting the company Good will among the customer;
And In the end, the concern is suggested to concentrate
more on building relationship; their efforts should be directed
towards ultimate customer satisfaction.
