FindingsQuality as the most influencing factors in the purchase decision while price is also an important for purchase decision.

Schemes always attract more and more consumers towards particular brand. Simultaneously it gives idea about the factors which consumers look most in the product before they make final decision.

Price off and extra quantity is the two main offers/schemes which consumers have came across at the time of purchase.

People are ready to buy products of brand which suits their budget means more quantity + less cost + quality.

Extra quantity with less or same price, more satisfaction, quality and other factors influence consumers to switch over to other brands.

People are more quality and price oriented.

Consumer remember that name of the product by the company name and also from the past performance of that company

Demand is too much for Patanjalis products in market, because of that shortage problem occurs in market regularly.

Suggestion

- Patanjalis Product has less price and high quality so more and more consumer buy Patanjalis products. Demand is too much for Patanjalis products in market, because of that shortage problem occurs in market regularly.

So, I suggest that Patanjalis should increase the productivity and make sure that there will be no shortage of product in market.

Thank You !
