satisfy or dissatisfied.
The result of satisfaction to retailer form the supplier of the product or services is that
more favourable post-sell attitude, higher sell intention & brand loyalty to be exhibited

FINDINGS:-
24. cookies selling decisions are more decided by retailer selling the cookies, because she act as
a invigilator, execute her decision and influence the same to the selling while ascertaining the
quality, freshness and price. Hence, I suggest GCMMF to concentrate more on the retailer and
distributers suggestions for designing the marketing strategy, because of the selling incising
the cookies and toast in the outlet is dominant, even in the various decisions.
Occupation of the user influences the selling decisions. The particular occupation plays a vital
role in deciding the product or services. retailer segment are influencing more on amul
cookies and toast. Therefore, an occupation is the factor influencing the amul cookies and
toast product.
Income of the demand of the customer the retailer purchasing power is desided on the basis
of the customer. The high income prefers to purchase product with the quality, freshness,
thickness, etc. and vice versa. So I suggest Amul to concentrate also on low income segment
to capture market and position themselves in the minds of the customer with required quality
and quality of amul cookies and toast.
Since Amul is having loyal retailer and therefore should concentrate more on this factor
through various potential programmes such as campaign, premium packs, offers etc., this
helps to increase the selling loyalty towards the Amul cookies and toast.
Cookies arability is not a continues in the supply to distributers and retailer the demand off
only for the shortage.
retailer is influential, hence I suggest Amul to look after the dealers issue with due care.
SUGGESTIONS:
25. From the survey conducted it is observed that Amul cookies and toast
has a bad market share.
From the study conducted the following conclusions can be
drawn. In order the dreams comes into reality and for turning
liabilities into assets one must have to not meet the needs of the
retailer.
The factors considered by the retailer before purchasing cookies
& toast are not freshness, taste, thickness and availability is not
good.
Finally I conclude that, majority of the retailer are not satisfied
with the Amul cookies and toast of its good quality, reputation not
good, not a easy availabilities. Some retailer are not satisfied with
the Amul cookies & toast because of replacement problem, arability is
not continues , spoilage and low shelf life etc. therefore, no if slight
modification in the marketing programme such as dealers and
outlets, no promotion programmers, product lines etc., definitely
company can be as a monopoly and week market leader.
Amul has also to take very care of its competitors into consideration
and more importantly its retailers before making any move.
