Research tools
The main data for the research was collected from primary data direct
questionnaire, direct interview. Other than general use of primary data
some other forms of data collection were used. The other main methods
that were used for collecting data were secondary data which include
internet, news paper article, books etc.

The main tools that were used for the research purposes are:
• Primary Data
• Secondary data
• Direct questionnaire
• Direct interview
• Observational

20
Strategy
A marketing strategy is a process that can allow an organization to
concentrate its (always limited) resources on the greatest opportunities to
increase sales and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.
A mark eting strategy is most effective when it is an integral
component of corporate strategy, defining how the organization will
engage customers, prospects and competitors in the market area for
success. It is partially derived from broader corporate strategies,
corporate mission, and corporate goals.

Survey research
A survey research is defined as the method of collecting information by
asking a set of pre formulated questions in a predetermined sequence in
a structured questionnaire to a sample of individuals drawn so as to be
representative of a defined population. These questionnaires are
administered to an individual or a group of individuals through
interviews. Typical survey objectives involve describing or learning

21
from an ongoing activity by studying the changes in behavioral patterns
of the subjects of interest to the researcher.

Costumer segments

There are two types of costumer in my survey:

I) Technical students(those students they are doing or done

Engineering and any technical courses.)
II) Non technical students (those students they are 12th passed
and graduate in any stream or those are pursuing graduation.

Plan on how to approach the target segments:

• Contact the customers with door to door basis.

• Contact the Educational institute for information of the students
• Organize the seminar in group at the schools and college campus.
• References to reach the customers

22
Communication strategy

When I did interact with customers then I used my soft skills and
interpersonal skills. I tried to familiar with the customer because when
we get more familiar with the customer then customer feels comfort and
he believes that we are giving them a right suggestion.

I should know English for get better corporate exposure but I should
know Hindi and local language for capture the rural area to understand
the customer needs and convince the customer in their language.

23
Limitation

• The data collected is totally dependent on respondents’ views,

which could be bias in nature.
• Sometimes respondents do not give a response or give partial
response. It is called non response error. The reason may be lack
of knowledge or unwillingness to answer.
• The sample size is small and it may not actually represent the
whole population.
• During the survey I came across unfavorable weather conditions
like scorching heat and dust storm.
• There is limited time available each day and lot of tasks have to
completed in a day like preparing reports, conducting surveys,
spend time at the office to gain knowledge, etc.
