16. RECOMMENDATIONS
• PENETRATION OF PAPER BOAT IS VERY LIMITED. WITH LIMITED
VISIBILITY, IT HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON ITS SALES. IT MUST MAKE
SURE THAT IT IS PRESENT IN ALL RETAIL OUTLETS WHERE
MAXIMUM FOOTFALL HAPPENS.
• ALL FLAVORS OF PAPER BOAT SHOULD BE WIDELY AVAILABLE AT
BIG STORES SUCH AS BIG BAZAAR, HYPERCITY, RELIANCE FRESH
ETC.
• PAPER BOAT SHOULD TIE UP WITH SCHOOLS WHERE MAJORITY OF
DRINKERS ARE CHILDREN AS THEIR POTENTIAL BUYERS.

17. • SHOULD GIVE INCENTIVES TO SHOP OWNERS TO KEEP THE
STOCK AND KEEP IT AT A POSITION WHERE DISPLAY OF THE
PRODUCT IS PROPER.
• RETAIL SCHEMES LIKE CERTAIN NUMBER OF BOTTLES FREE
PER CASE, DISPLAY SCHEMES, TARGET SCHEMES,
INSTALLATION OF REFRIGERATION FACILITIES.
• ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT MOST OF THE
CONSUMPTION OF THE DRINK HAPPENS DURING SUMMERS,
SO PAPER BOAT SHOULD INTRODUCE SOME WINTER DRINKS.
