allocation was given to 2 outlets in Iritty, so far not
implemented/ MEGA full shop drive is active in the
section for the last 3 months, still there is not a single

34. CONCLUSION
FMCG industry in India is one of the fast growing industries in the
world. ITC Personal Care Product continues to grow and increase its
market share in the HUL and Godrej Indian Personal Care Product
industry. Strict compliance standards, fast and effective sales ordering
process, flexibility have so far ensured merchandising effectiveness for
ITC .
With increasing competition in the personal care product segment, the
importance of availability, visibility of personal care product factors are
on the rise. This is particularly important in a scenario where even local
players are adopting these practices to increase their sales. The study
reveals that the availability and visibility ambience in retile handlers are
boosting the sales of personal care products. National brands and local
brands together are displayed and compete for their market share. In
order to increase the sales of ITC , their availability, visibility of product
portfolio plays a very influencing role
