Company Sales (in Rs.) PercentageDinshaws 175823 79.56%

Amul 224000 12.16%Baskin Robins 90000 2.02%Top ‘N’ Town 68000 3.15%Kwality Walls 1000 2.01%

DINSHAWS ICE-CREAM share is 79.56% in Nagpur ice-cream market DINSHAWS ICE-CREAM and Amul are only two companies, which have captured above 90% market.

If DINSHAWS ICE-CREAM opens exclusive parlors then DINSHAWS ICE-CREAM can overtake Amul selling.

The rates of all the companies are generally equal. But special item of ice-cream’s rates are different.

The researcher would like to suggest that DINSHAWS ICE-CREAM customer education cell to give proper information regarding the ice cream. This cell will give full information to the customers regarding the use of different brands.

03. INSERTION OF GIFT AND CASH COUPONS.

Today only distribution gift without any scheme does not makeeffect on sale. But insertion of coupon can make big effect. Theresearcher would like to suggest DINSHAWS ICE-CREAM tostart lucky coupons schemes. The researcher would also like to suggest providing for cash commission to the mason on every product.

04. PROMPT DELIVERY.

During the research it is found beside good demand for DINSHAW ICE-CREAM, company is unable to meet the increasing demand it is resulting into reduction in sale as wellas market share. The researcher would like to suggest that company make proper arrangement for prompt of proper delivery. Prompt delivery’s very important factor if there were not prompt delivery your customers are found to buy another




brand which can result permanent loss of customers. To avoid these things company must take appropriate measures to bridge the gap between demands of supply.

05. TRANSFER OF ADVERTISING FUND

During the research it is found that DINSHAWS ICE CREAM have not achieved 100% success in adverting of there product.

DINSHAWS ICE CREAM has not 100% awareness for their product so there is need for heavy advertising expenditure. Company can advertise on hoarding wall painting and newspapers.
