“Factors affecting buyer behaviour of KARA wet wipes in Mandi, HimachalPradesh”
Market Research:
Main purpose of this study is to fulfil the following objectives:
 To identify the factors which lead to purchase of a product
 To analyze the consumer behavior and perception related to KARA wipes
 To highlight the most important factor which affects buyer behavior
 To decide how much showcasing factors are related
1.7 Literature Review:
 QUALITY:
According to my research, I found out that most consumers like the “product quality” after they
purchased their desired packaged products. Based on those facts, we can not say there is a 100% equal
relationship between good package and good product quality, but there is a positive thinking and trend
about well-designed package shows high product quality. As a matter of fact, people are becoming more
and more demanding; packaging has been gradually shown his important role in a way to serving consumer
by providing information and delivering functions. With its different functionality to ease and to
Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 21
communicate with consumers, there is no doubt about increasingly important role of packaging as a
strategic tool to attract consumers’ attention and their perception on the product quality. (Parmar, 2012)
 PRICE:
The rural consumers are known to earn low income, have low level of literacy, low level of brand
awareness, asymmetric information, inadequate communication and transportation facilities. The Rural
markets and sub-urban markets are now expanding in Kerala with ever greater penetration index, as the
growth seems stunted in the urban markets. In this study, Rural & suburban areas of Ernakulam with a
sample size of 100 respondents. The study intends to identify the level of influence of various factors on the
purchase of FMCG products-soaps &detergents among the rural/ semi urban consumers. The study
emphasized that rural consumers gave more importance to the “price of the FMCG-personal care
brands” they bought rather than the normative influences or social appeal vide celebrity endorsements in
the mass media. (N, 2014)
 MOTIVATION:
The findings suggest that variables under factors like reliability and product attributes plays a very
important role for this low income and price conscious set of respondents. The consumers largely remain
brand loyal. A considerable portion of monthly income is spent on buying grocery (including FMCG
products). Promotions and offers have considerable “impact on larger household and young adults”. At
the same time where they are buying generic products, they nourish aspiration value for branded products
which remains restricted due to lack of money. (srivastava, 2013).
 PRICE & PACKAGING:
The study is done to identify the factors affecting buying decisions of rural consumers and whether
importance of these factors varies with age and income of respondents. “The factors taken into
consideration by the rural consumers for purchasing a commodity are price, quality, warranty,
Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 22
advertisement, brand, friend’s recommendations, family members recommendation and packaging.”
It was found that factors have an impact on rural consumer and it varies with age and income. Importance
of all factors in buying behaviour of rural consumer found increasing trend with increase in their age and
income. The effect of price and quality on buying behaviour of rural consumer increases significantly with
increase in age and income. Advertisement and brand of products found significantly very important to
high income rural consumers than lower income consumers. Friends and family members’
recommendations had significantly more impact on buying decisions of lower income consumers than high
income consumers. Packaging had significantly more impact on buying decision of lower income
consumers than high income consumers. (Korath, 2016)

 During my project I came across so many problem faced by the retailers as well as distributor, I came
to know the actual Market share of Kara wet wipes, consumer awareness about the product, how
marketing communication activities done by the Company’s representative in the markets what is
sales happening in the market.
 As I was working in the rural area so people of these are not habit of using these product. Now as my
target is to increase the “visibility and availability” of Kara in as many shops as possible and increase
the awareness of the product those who are not using it.
 I have to also analyze the competitor activities done in the markets of Mandi Kullu and its nearby
towns. For encountering the problems I have visited more than 70 stores of Mandi,Nerchowk and
Sundernagar. I have found that Kara wet wipes is only available 4-5 shops and those shops were also
not carry a sufficient stock of Kara wet wipes
 When I have found that Kara is available only 4-5 shop next job is to increase the number of outlets
for Kara during my visit I was able to book order of more than 1500 units amounted to Rs more than
Rs 65000 in all different SKUs of Kara wet wipes.
 I have also increase the number of shops and retail outlet where consumer can purchase Kara wipes.
From 4-5 shops to 25 shops I have increase number of retail outlets.
For retaining these stores FCEL have to work accordingly to keep that store in touch and maintain
relationship with these shops to future sales.
 Daily sales visits in the market should be done to maintain the sales and relationship with the retailer
and distributor. Because from past 2 years product is not available for many shops and losing their
market share because of many reasons like non- availability, competition from local wipes and
Chinese wipes gives low margins for retailers and no promotion activities impacted their brand image.
Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 28
 Therefore, FCEL should have to focus in these things. Maintaining relationships is very important with
distribution channel and communication gap should not be there in the market because retailers loses
trust on the companies policies and brand and that costs is too much for the company.
 FCEL’s pricing strategy for brand Kara is good because the advantage of Kara is that it is quality
product and there is no other wipes available in the market who provide the same quality as provided
by Kara.
 FCEL should have to focus on the promotion activities like advertisement and personal selling
extensively to make brand visible and available in the product. In the market of Mandi, Kullu during
the end of the internship time canopy was given to us for doing sampling at retail shops .
 FCEL can also work towards the motivation of distributor and retailers because of the competition
other companies provides higher margins and good schemes to the retailers in the market and regular
visits of their employees help in building relationship with them so this area can also be improved by
the company for effective management of the channel.
 FCEL should focus on the rural market for develop a market for Kara and their other brands like Tasty
Treat and Care mate because the scope in this rural area is very vast and relationship helps in
increasing brand awareness.

consumers, so KARA needs to “differentiate itself from other brands by positioning itself different from
other respective brands”.

Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) Test is a measure of how suited your data is for Factor Analysis. The test
measures sampling adequacy for each variable in the model and for the complete model. The statistic is a
measure of the proportion of variance among variables that might be common variance.
The KMO coefficient is above our benchmark, 0.45 hence it is reliable.

 Factor analysis is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed,
correlated variables in terms of a potentially lower number of unobserved variables called factors.
 Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on 17 variables using principal component analysis with
varimax rotation method. Eigen value ‘greater than 1’ was considered as a cut off point for the
number of factors extracted. The result indicated KMO statistics value of 0.665 and Barlett's test of
Sphericity was significant (0.000), which indicated appropriateness of extracted variable for factor
analysis. The analysis eventually resulted in the selection of 5 factors. The factors explained a total
of 17 variables or items which form 68.49 percent of the total variance explained by the model.
The rotated component matrix was used, using 0.45 as cut off point for factor loading for naming
the factors.
We have applied the factor loading in the questionnaire on the questions which are on likert scale
.From the above statistics, we have got five categories “Packaging, Motivation , Quality , Price &
Offers” Respectively.
Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 33
Table 10: Reliability Analysis Of Factors Extracted
Factor Item Number Mean Value Cronbach'sAlpha Value
F1-Packaging 4 4.058 0.765

F3-Quality 3 4.121 0.698
F4-Price 3 3.087 0.623
F5-Offers 2 2.725 0.589
 Cronbach's alpha is the most common measure of internal consistency ("reliability"). It is most
commonly used when you have multiple Likert questions in a survey/questionnaire that form a scale
and you wish to determine if the scale is reliable.
 In this we can see that each of the factor is having value above 0.60, which shows that our scale is
reliable .The mean value of the quality (4.121) is higher than that of packaging(4.058) which shows
that “respondent preferred quality more as an important aspect while purchasing wipes”.

Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 34
 We have considered four models in which we have taken Motivation to purchase wipes as DV and
price, quality offers, packaging of wipes as Independent Variable .From the above statics ”R value
table”, we can see that there is “high correlation between motivation & price with 34.1%” followed
by quality and packaging with 34%, 28.18% respectively.

 From the above statics we can see that price, quality, packaging have a significant relation over the
motivation of buyers to purchase wipes. But the “offers do not have a significant relation” with the
motivation factors.
 From the coefficient matrix also it is clear that “price, quality, packaging is having a direct and
positive relation” with the above factors except offers which is not having a significant relation with
the motivation of buyers.
Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 35
Hence from the above study, I have concluded following:
 From table 4, we can see that out of 69 respondents in which Male & Female are 17.4%, 82.6%
respectively. The age criteria in “between 20-29 has the highest percentage of respondent with
88.4%” followed by 19 or less & 30-40 years of age of respondents.
 From table 5, we can see out of 69 respondents only “82.6% respondents use wipes” and rest 17.4%
don’t use it, which shows the organization can grow more by implementing awareness programme,
to target new consumers.
 From table 6, we can see out of 69 respondents “65.2 % recognize KARA wipes” followed by Johnson
& Johnson with 20.3%. In this we could see that Himalaya wipes are being recognized more with
respect to that of the Chinese wipes ZUCI
 From table 7, we can see out of 69 respondents “40.6% respondents have used KARA wipes” and
39.1% have used Johnson & Johnson wipes. Both Brands are being equally recognized and used by
consumers, so KARA needs to “differentiate itself from other brands by positioning itself different
from other respective brands”.
 From table 8, we can see that “KMO coefficient is 0.665”, which is above our benchmark 0.45, hence
the data suited your data is for Factor Analysis.
 From table 10, we can infer that each of the factor is having Cronbach’s alpha value above 0.60
,which shows that our scale is reliable .The mean value of the quality(4.121) is higher than that of
packaging(4.058) which shows that “respondent preferred price & quality both marginally equal but
preferred quality more important aspect while purchasing wipes”.
 From table 11 by comparing four models, in which we have taken Motivation to purchase wipes as
DV and price, quality offers, packaging of wipes as Independent Variable .From the above statics ”R
value table”, we can see that there is “high correlation between motivation & price with 34.1%”
followed by quality and packaging with 34%, 28.18% respectively.
Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 36
 From table 11, we can see that price, quality, packaging have a significant relation over the
motivation of buyers to purchase wipes. But the “offers do not have a significant relation” as it is
not having significant value (0.17), which is greater than 0.05 &0.10 level of confidence with the
motivation factors.
 From table11, it is clear that “price, quality, packaging is having a direct and positive relation” with
the above factors except offers which is not having a significant relation with the motivation of
buyers.
 Now from the study and analysis we have the following hypothesis:
1. H1: There is a significant association of the quality of wipes and motivation of purchase decision of
consumers.
2. H1: There is a significant association between price of wipes and motivation of purchase decision of
consumers.
3. H1: There is a significant association between packaging and motivation of purchase decision of
consumers.
4. H0: There is no significant association between offers and motivation of purchase decision of
consumers.
Hence from the above study it can be concluded that Price, Quality & packaging of wet wipes plays a
vital role in motivating buyers to purchase wipes and hence company should focus more on pricing
strategy and should display more specification on packaging ,so that these factor motivates consumer
to purchase wipes in order to penetrate more into market and into buyer mind.

Learning outcomes & Recommendations
Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 38
LEARNING OUTCOMES& RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Learning outcomes:
 I learned about the various aspects of management in the areas of Marketing, Sales, and Finance &
Operations.
 I understood that the cost control is very important when you are in company. Because nowadays
margin are decreasing and competition are increasing to cope with that situation cost control is
always a better option for companies and always Television Advertisement cannot be done to make
brand awareness.
 I also learned that how promotion strategies help businesses to grow and build awareness about
product and various ways of promoting the product or brand.
 I also understood the 4 P’s of marketing. In market Product, Price, Place & promotion are very
important to market a brand or a company and maintain good relation with customer as well as
channel members.
 I also understood that the in order to ensure high profits, company is also making efforts to reduce
operating expenses.
 From the overall study of the project, it was concluded that the buyer behaviour is influenced by
many factors but most important it is being affected by Packaging of product, Pricing of product,
Quality of product are the factors which enables the motivation of consumers to purchase the product
most significantly.
 The Price & quality are the foremost important factors for consumers whereas offers doesn’t play
significant role while purchasing wipes.
Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 39
 The consumers tend to me more specific and would not accept a low-end quality product for personal
care. Hence the KARA should focus on its pricing and quality strategies in order to penetrate more
market.
 The firm is able to increase sales, build markets in the rural area of Himachal Pradesh as well as other
markets if they keenly focus on their sales team, and manage its channel partners effectively. Brand
like Kara has its own strong image in the market and its quality is incomparable.
 FCEL has to focus to build strong market for Kara because Kara is a product, which helps company
to grow, and its other brands like Care mate and Tasty Treat to make an entrance in the rural market.
 Kara is category leader in wet wipes market and though it has facing tough competition from
Johnson & Johnson, Himalaya & local wet wipes companies, it has strong brand image, which has to
maintain by doing promotion activities. Branding is essential for the personal care segment so FCEL
should do advertisement on print media, posters, hoardings and Display ads. It is very effective and
Saves Company’s cost.
 Availability is the major factor, which is highlighted by the retailer as well as consumers. It is very
difficult to find Kara wipes in different store like cosmetic, general and medical stores so company
should target these stores and focus on placement of the product in these stores.
 As majorly, women purchased wet wipes products so there is huge opportunity to target males and
influence them to buy wet wipes products.
5.2Recomendations:
 There should be introduction of Puretta baby cleansing wipes in Mandi, as it would directly
differentiate between adult wipes & baby wipes alternative being used by consumers.
 There should be proper product description with a brochure through which retailer could easily
identify different variants of KARA wipes.
 Regular beats & feedback from retailers, so that there should be proper follow-up.
 Delivery of stock in time, as delay in delivery increases churning rate of consumers to other brands.
 There should be some schemes for consumers as it attracts consumers.
 There is huge competition from the Johnson & Johnson, Himalaya & Chinese wipes so it requires
doing aggressive advertising, campaigns, and samplings at the beginning of summer season, so that
product should create awareness at right time and push the sale.
 Activities and promotions at local markets & IIT Mandi and any festival to attract more and more
customers
 At low budget, company can place KARA danglers in concerned retailers. Dangles are very effective
marketing communication as it makes customer’s eyes to see on hanging dangles. Even at low budget
Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 40
company can stick the KARA tape to rakes where product is placed that can increase the awareness of
product.
 As television advertisement’s cost is too high so extensive advertisement on hoarding, brochures
should be done and these can be placed in the retail outlets and local markets
 Kara is a product that can be easily understood & adapted by the youth & the admission season in IIT
Mandi & Medical College Near Nerchowk. Admission starts from May-June at the time of admission
we can appoint at least with 2 employees with a canopy & with a few samples outside the colleges this
will definitely help to spread the awareness about the product amongst the youngsters
 Company should acknowledge the customers that the company is charging high prices because of its
high-quality material unlike of other brands and also educate that compromise in quality of fibre can
harm the skin through different media sources.
 There’s a huge demand for the product among the “new-generation working women” as they prefer
handy products for convenient and easy accessibility. So, focusing on the right consumer group is
necessary.
 Hotels industry is very big in Kullu, Mandi & Manali because of tourist place. Demand of wet wipes is
high in hotels so we can work with these business partners.

Based on those facts, we can not say there is a 100% equal relationship between good package and good product quality, but there is a positive thinking and trend about well-designed package shows high product quality. As a matter of fact, people are becoming more and more demanding; packaging has been gradually shown his important role in a way to serving consumer by providing information and delivering functions. With its different functionality to ease and to
  • 21. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 21 communicate with consumers, there is no doubt about increasingly important role of packaging as a strategic tool to attract consumers’ attention and their perception on the product quality. (Parmar, 2012)  PRICE: The rural consumers are known to earn low income, have low level of literacy, low level of brand awareness, asymmetric information, inadequate communication and transportation facilities. The Rural markets and sub-urban markets are now expanding in Kerala with ever greater penetration index, as the growth seems stunted in the urban markets. In this study, Rural & suburban areas of Ernakulam with a sample size of 100 respondents. The study intends to identify the level of influence of various factors on the purchase of FMCG products-soaps &detergents among the rural/ semi urban consumers. The study emphasized that rural consumers gave more importance to the “price of the FMCG-personal care brands” they bought rather than the normative influences or social appeal vide celebrity endorsements in the mass media. (N, 2014)  MOTIVATION: The findings suggest that variables under factors like reliability and product attributes plays a very important role for this low income and price conscious set of respondents. The consumers largely remain brand loyal. A considerable portion of monthly income is spent on buying grocery (including FMCG products). Promotions and offers have considerable “impact on larger household and young adults”. At the same time where they are buying generic products, they nourish aspiration value for branded products which remains restricted due to lack of money. (srivastava, 2013).  PRICE & PACKAGING: The study is done to identify the factors affecting buying decisions of rural consumers and whether importance of these factors varies with age and income of respondents. “The factors taken into consideration by the rural consumers for purchasing a commodity are price, quality, warranty,
  • 22. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 22 advertisement, brand, friend’s recommendations, family members recommendation and packaging.” It was found that factors have an impact on rural consumer and it varies with age and income. Importance of all factors in buying behaviour of rural consumer found increasing trend with increase in their age and income. The effect of price and quality on buying behaviour of rural consumer increases significantly with increase in age and income. Advertisement and brand of products found significantly very important to high income rural consumers than lower income consumers.

  • 27. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 27 ANALYSIS OF JOB DONE 4.1 Analysis of Channel & modern trade management:  As I have been doing internship for 60 days in Mandi and I was managing distribution channel, doing sales work and promoting Kara. I have also done sampling activities for brand Kara in the markets of Mandi.  During my project I came across so many problem faced by the retailers as well as distributor, I came to know the actual Market share of Kara wet wipes, consumer awareness about the product, how marketing communication activities done by the Company’s representative in the markets what is sales happening in the market.  As I was working in the rural area so people of these are not habit of using these product. Now as my target is to increase the “visibility and availability” of Kara in as many shops as possible and increase the awareness of the product those who are not using it.  I have to also analyze the competitor activities done in the markets of Mandi Kullu and its nearby towns. For encountering the problems I have visited more than 70 stores of Mandi,Nerchowk and Sundernagar. I have found that Kara wet wipes is only available 4-5 shops and those shops were also not carry a sufficient stock of Kara wet wipes  When I have found that Kara is available only 4-5 shop next job is to increase the number of outlets for Kara during my visit I was able to book order of more than 1500 units amounted to Rs more than Rs 65000 in all different SKUs of Kara wet wipes.  I have also increase the number of shops and retail outlet where consumer can purchase Kara wipes. From 4-5 shops to 25 shops I have increase number of retail outlets. For retaining these stores FCEL have to work accordingly to keep that store in touch and maintain relationship with these shops to future sales.  Daily sales visits in the market should be done to maintain the sales and relationship with the retailer and distributor. Because from past 2 years product is not available for many shops and losing their market share because of many reasons like non- availability, competition from local wipes and Chinese wipes gives low margins for retailers and no promotion activities impacted their brand image.
  • 28. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 28  Therefore, FCEL should have to focus in these things. Maintaining relationships is very important with distribution channel and communication gap should not be there in the market because retailers loses trust on the companies policies and brand and that costs is too much for the company.  FCEL’s pricing strategy for brand Kara is good because the advantage of Kara is that it is quality product and there is no other wipes available in the market who provide the same quality as provided by Kara.  FCEL should have to focus on the promotion activities like advertisement and personal selling extensively to make brand visible and available in the product. In the market of Mandi, Kullu during the end of the internship time canopy was given to us for doing sampling at retail shops .  FCEL can also work towards the motivation of distributor and retailers because of the competition other companies provides higher margins and good schemes to the retailers in the market and regular visits of their employees help in building relationship with them so this area can also be improved by the company for effective management of the channel.  FCEL should focus on the rural market for develop a market for Kara and their other brands like Tasty Treat and Care mate because the scope in this rural area is very vast and relationship helps in increasing brand awareness.

Eigen value ‘greater than 1’ was considered as a cut off point for the number of factors extracted. The result indicated KMO statistics value of 0.665 and Barlett's test of Sphericity was significant (0.000), which indicated appropriateness of extracted variable for factor analysis. The analysis eventually resulted in the selection of 5 factors. The factors explained a total of 17 variables or items which form 68.49 percent of the total variance explained by the model. The rotated component matrix was used, using 0.45 as cut off point for factor loading for naming the factors. We have applied the factor loading in the questionnaire on the questions which are on likert scale .From the above statistics, we have got five categories “Packaging, Motivation , Quality , Price & Offers” Respectively.

  • 34. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 34  We have considered four models in which we have taken Motivation to purchase wipes as DV and price, quality offers, packaging of wipes as Independent Variable .From the above statics ”R value table”, we can see that there is “high correlation between motivation & price with 34.1%” followed by quality and packaging with 34%, 28.18% respectively. Table 12: Coefficient table Model Unstandardized Coefficients Standardized Coefficients t Sig. Std.

But the “offers do not have a significant relation” with the motivation factors.  From the coefficient matrix also it is clear that “price, quality, packaging is having a direct and positive relation” with the above factors except offers which is not having a significant relation with the motivation of buyers.
  • 35. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 35 Hence from the above study, I have concluded following:  From table 4, we can see that out of 69 respondents in which Male & Female are 17.4%, 82.6% respectively. The age criteria in “between 20-29 has the highest percentage of respondent with 88.4%” followed by 19 or less & 30-40 years of age of respondents.  From table 5, we can see out of 69 respondents only “82.6% respondents use wipes” and rest 17.4% don’t use it, which shows the organization can grow more by implementing awareness programme, to target new consumers.  From table 6, we can see out of 69 respondents “65.2 % recognize KARA wipes” followed by Johnson & Johnson with 20.3%. In this we could see that Himalaya wipes are being recognized more with respect to that of the Chinese wipes ZUCI  From table 7, we can see out of 69 respondents “40.6% respondents have used KARA wipes” and 39.1% have used Johnson & Johnson wipes. Both Brands are being equally recognized and used by consumers, so KARA needs to “differentiate itself from other brands by positioning itself different from other respective brands”.  From table 8, we can see that “KMO coefficient is 0.665”, which is above our benchmark 0.45, hence the data suited your data is for Factor Analysis.  From table 10, we can infer that each of the factor is having Cronbach’s alpha value above 0.60 ,which shows that our scale is reliable .The mean value of the quality(4.121) is higher than that of packaging(4.058) which shows that “respondent preferred price & quality both marginally equal but preferred quality more important aspect while purchasing wipes”.  From table 11 by comparing four models, in which we have taken Motivation to purchase wipes as DV and price, quality offers, packaging of wipes as Independent Variable .From the above statics ”R value table”, we can see that there is “high correlation between motivation & price with 34.1%” followed by quality and packaging with 34%, 28.18% respectively.
  • 36. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 36  From table 11, we can see that price, quality, packaging have a significant relation over the motivation of buyers to purchase wipes. But the “offers do not have a significant relation” as it is not having significant value (0.17), which is greater than 0.05 &0.10 level of confidence with the motivation factors.  From table11, it is clear that “price, quality, packaging is having a direct and positive relation” with the above factors except offers which is not having a significant relation with the motivation of buyers.  Now from the study and analysis we have the following hypothesis: 1. H1: There is a significant association of the quality of wipes and motivation of purchase decision of consumers. 2. H1: There is a significant association between price of wipes and motivation of purchase decision of consumers. 3. H1: There is a significant association between packaging and motivation of purchase decision of consumers. 4. H0: There is no significant association between offers and motivation of purchase decision of consumers. Hence from the above study it can be concluded that Price, Quality & packaging of wet wipes plays a vital role in motivating buyers to purchase wipes and hence company should focus more on pricing strategy and should display more specification on packaging ,so that these factor motivates consumer to purchase wipes in order to penetrate more into market and into buyer mind.

  • 38. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 38 LEARNING OUTCOMES& RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Learning outcomes:  I learned about the various aspects of management in the areas of Marketing, Sales, and Finance & Operations.  I understood that the cost control is very important when you are in company. Because nowadays margin are decreasing and competition are increasing to cope with that situation cost control is always a better option for companies and always Television Advertisement cannot be done to make brand awareness.  I also learned that how promotion strategies help businesses to grow and build awareness about product and various ways of promoting the product or brand.  I also understood the 4 P’s of marketing. In market Product, Price, Place & promotion are very important to market a brand or a company and maintain good relation with customer as well as channel members.  I also understood that the in order to ensure high profits, company is also making efforts to reduce operating expenses.  From the overall study of the project, it was concluded that the buyer behaviour is influenced by many factors but most important it is being affected by Packaging of product, Pricing of product, Quality of product are the factors which enables the motivation of consumers to purchase the product most significantly.  The Price & quality are the foremost important factors for consumers whereas offers doesn’t play significant role while purchasing wipes.
  • 39. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 39  The consumers tend to me more specific and would not accept a low-end quality product for personal care. Hence the KARA should focus on its pricing and quality strategies in order to penetrate more market.  The firm is able to increase sales, build markets in the rural area of Himachal Pradesh as well as other markets if they keenly focus on their sales team, and manage its channel partners effectively. Brand like Kara has its own strong image in the market and its quality is incomparable.  FCEL has to focus to build strong market for Kara because Kara is a product, which helps company to grow, and its other brands like Care mate and Tasty Treat to make an entrance in the rural market.  Kara is category leader in wet wipes market and though it has facing tough competition from Johnson & Johnson, Himalaya & local wet wipes companies, it has strong brand image, which has to maintain by doing promotion activities. Branding is essential for the personal care segment so FCEL should do advertisement on print media, posters, hoardings and Display ads. It is very effective and Saves Company’s cost.  Availability is the major factor, which is highlighted by the retailer as well as consumers. It is very difficult to find Kara wipes in different store like cosmetic, general and medical stores so company should target these stores and focus on placement of the product in these stores.  As majorly, women purchased wet wipes products so there is huge opportunity to target males and influence them to buy wet wipes products. 5.2Recomendations:  There should be introduction of Puretta baby cleansing wipes in Mandi, as it would directly differentiate between adult wipes & baby wipes alternative being used by consumers.  There should be proper product description with a brochure through which retailer could easily identify different variants of KARA wipes.  Regular beats & feedback from retailers, so that there should be proper follow-up.  Delivery of stock in time, as delay in delivery increases churning rate of consumers to other brands.  There should be some schemes for consumers as it attracts consumers.  There is huge competition from the Johnson & Johnson, Himalaya & Chinese wipes so it requires doing aggressive advertising, campaigns, and samplings at the beginning of summer season, so that product should create awareness at right time and push the sale.  Activities and promotions at local markets & IIT Mandi and any festival to attract more and more customers  At low budget, company can place KARA danglers in concerned retailers. Dangles are very effective marketing communication as it makes customer’s eyes to see on hanging dangles. Even at low budget
  • 40. Jaipuria Institute of Management Page 40 company can stick the KARA tape to rakes where product is placed that can increase the awareness of product.  As television advertisement’s cost is too high so extensive advertisement on hoarding, brochures should be done and these can be placed in the retail outlets and local markets  Kara is a product that can be easily understood & adapted by the youth & the admission season in IIT Mandi & Medical College Near Nerchowk. Admission starts from May-June at the time of admission we can appoint at least with 2 employees with a canopy & with a few samples outside the colleges this will definitely help to spread the awareness about the product amongst the youngsters  Company should acknowledge the customers that the company is charging high prices because of its high-quality material unlike of other brands and also educate that compromise in quality of fibre can harm the skin through different media sources.  There’s a huge demand for the product among the “new-generation working women” as they prefer handy products for convenient and easy accessibility. So, focusing on the right consumer group is necessary.  Hotels industry is very big in Kullu, Mandi & Manali because of tourist place. Demand of wet wipes is high in hotels so we can work with these business partners.
