    entered the market over the past few years and are giving tough competition

    to the big players.

    The snacks market is classified into two broad segments Western and

    traditional snack segments, wherein western snacks enjoy more popularity in

    comparison to the traditional snacks. Moreover, the western snack segment

    is dominated by a large number of MNCs and organized snack

    TIME KEEPING SYSTEM

    business entrepreneur of a business unit must give full consideration to the

    suitable location for enterprise because success or failure is highly depended

    on the location for enterprise. Optimum location point is expected to give the

    lowest unit cost of production as well as of distribution and hence it can be

    most profitable for the business. An entrepreneur must choose an ideal

    location at the time of launching the enterprise in other words all the

    pertinent factors influencing location will have to be taken into account and

    weighed very carefully.

    So as far as EURO INDIA FRESH FOODS PVT. LTD is concerned it

    requires potatoes, edible oil , iodized salt, bananas , mungdal, chanaldal,

    spices etc. in the production of various type of product such raw materials

    are available in Gujarat very easily. Main reason for such location of the unit

    are as follows:

    AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS

    The most important factor, which is directly affected to the product, is the

    availability of raw material for producing the product.

    Iodized salt edible oil, potetoes, beasn, rice flour, chilli powder, black

    pepper etc are the raw material required and is easily available at nearest

    place. Potatoes are purchased from Disa, Ahmedabad and Surat through

    dealers as per requirement.

    ELECTRICITY:-

    The availability of electric power is very essential for any unit where

    production is done 24 hours continuously. EURO INDIA FRESH FOODS

    PVT. LTD gets electricity from G.E.B. and in absence of G.E.B. light it can

    be operated by their own generators.

    LABOUR:-

    For running industry, essentiality is the labour because without man any

    work is possible, man is focus of any industry, essential supply of labor in

    wage rate it can reach to its organizational goals in time. In Surat city both

    skilled and semiskilled labours are available. The level of education is also

    high in Surat.

    TRANSPORTATION:-

    For every industry transportation facilities have much importance to run

    their work regularly and smoothly as to get raw material quickly as well as

    to supply their finished goods to the market.

    PORTERS 5 FORCE MODEL:

    Threat of new entry:

    Som-Lalit Institute of Management Studies (SLIMS)

    As branded players are priced similarly, new players might

    penetrate by adopting a lower price or by offering more grammage at

    the same price.

    New players with a distinct USP and marketing strategy may find it

    easier to enter the market.

    Unorganized players still account for half of the total wafer

    segment, thereby discouraging market entry.

    Veteran players such as Fritolay, Haldiram etc enjoy economies of

    scale, well-established distribution and good distributor relations

    HENCE, THE THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS IS MODERATE.

    Competitive Rivalry

    High Competition Branded Players involved in cut-throat

    competition to increase market share, entice new consumers, find new

    markets

    Low Quality differences among branded players.

    Quality difference between branded and unbranded offerings is

    offset by low price offered by unbranded players

    Cost of switching is low as all players have a similar pricing

    strategy

    Brand Loyalty is high for branded players

    HENCE, THE THREAT OF COMPETITIVE RIVALRY IS HIGH.

    Bargaining power of suppliers

    Som-Lalit Institute of Management Studies (SLIMS)

    Suppliers provide raw materials such as potatoes, spices and other

    ingredients. Their ability to raise input costs is high.

    Higher cost of input commodities leads to lower margins, making

    the market unattractive for distributors and retailers (in an already

    low-margin, high-volume market)

    Shortage of any input material may also affect production and

    thereby impact distribution.

    Veteran players like Fritolay and ITC already have a well-

    established network of suppliers. ITCs e-choupal venture permits a

    steady supply of raw materials at the lowest price.

    HENCE, THE BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS IS HIGH.

    Threat of substitutes.

    Indian Snack Segment is high-volume, low-involvement driven

    (thrives on impulse buy)

    All snacks are considered to be substitutes of each other

    Biscuits, Wafers and local snacks like Chakli, banana chips, farsan etc

    are all substitutes of one another

    HENCE, THE THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES IS HIGH.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    Research

    Research is the application of human intelligence in systematic

    manner to a problem. It may minimize the total uncertainty by

    intelligence use of the most reliable data available in the organization.

    According to P.V. Young we may define research methodology as

    scientific undertaking which by means of logical and systematized

    method, aims to discover new facts.

    Brand Positioning

    Positioning a brand is serious business. There are several key

    questions which have to be answered in brand positioning. First, we

    determine WHAT dimensions are critical to the positioning. This has

    everything to do with the target customers. Then, we need to

    understand WHERE the brand is currently positioned, assuming we

    are already in market, against these brand criteria. Often this sort of

    analysis is conducted to determine what GAPS are underserved,

    which presents a potential positioning opportunity of WHERE we

    would like to be positioned. We then need to determine if the new

    positioning opportunity is purely a matter of messaging or a matter of

    bolstering our offerings.

    Objective of the research study

    The objective of the study is to check the awareness regarding the

    brand EURO in the market, to study its demand in the market and to

    study what the company is doing to build and develop the brand

    strategy by listing out how, when, and what are they going to do to

    accomplish and meet those brand objectives.

    Utility of the study

    It would help the company to learn from the results of the retailers

    perceptions of how different their brand is from other brands in the

    product category. It would let the company understand that on which

    all grounds they need to take steps so as to grab maximum market

    share

    Methodology

    From this we can analyzed that maximum retailers offers Lays wafers. The reason is

    because of strong brand awareness. Customers are very much aware about the brand. On

    asking the retailers the reason for stocking Lays in their stores they said that customers

    have very much associated confectionaries to Lays. They demand lays the most. It isbecause of strong brand equity being created by the brand. Also the customers are very

    satisfied with the quality and packaging being offered by the brand. These is all reasons

    compels the retailers to stock the products of Lays.

    Balaji wafers have also built their strong brand equity. Retailers said that the customers

    are happy with the product. They find the quantity being provided by the company as the

    best factor. Also the taste of the wafers is good as per the customers. They even provide

    quality product. But the Balaji wafers lack the brand equity. Balaji wafers dont advertise

    their product more. This is the reason why they are being consumed less by the

    customers.

    If we talk about Euro, being new in the market, it has quickly captured the attention of

    the customers. The customers do demand about the Euro products. Reason being the

    strong advertisement budget kept by the company. Euro has tried everything to generate

    the awareness for their product. They sponsored various events, had invested in hoardings

    etc and this is paying to the company through quick customer growth. Even retailers are

    happy with the product. The company does provide a quality product with attractive

    packaging which is very much liked by the kids as well as youths.

    Analysis and Interpretation:-

    As we can say from the analysis that 68% of retailers think Lays provide the appropriate

    quality in terms of taste, packaging and crispiness. The reason behind is the frequent

    purchases being made by the customers. On asking the retailers why they feel so they

    said that the customers demand of Lays wafers forces them to think about the same.

    Customers associate Lays with quality. They feel much secured with their purchase. So

    as per the retailers Lays provide quality.

    The retailers even think Euro is providing a better packaged product. The taste of the

    wafers is also admired by the customers. But being less advertised as discuss above

    customer prefers them less over lays.

    Only 36% of retailers feel that Euro is best in terms of taste, packaging and crispiness.

    Euro product taste good as said by one retailer and also their packaging is good but being

    a new product and less aware by the customers they prefer Lays and Balaji over Euro, but

    Euro is also gaining popularity as said by one of the retailer.

    Analysis and Interpretation:-

    We can say from the graph that the best sale service as per retailers is provided by Lays

    which means that they are very punctual with their delivery system. Retailers are very

    happy with the distribution system of lays because they can get the product whenever

    they want.

    Balaji come the next in their sales service. There are sometimes some delays noted with

    Balaji as per the retailers. But this complain was done by very few retailers.

    Euro chips come at the third position as per retailers. So company has to work on its

    distribution and other sale services inorder to gain satisfaction of retailers as well as the

    customers.

    Analysis and Interpretation:-

    Company. Retailers can earn good profit by selling Balaji products. But if we look at the

    buying behavior of customers of Mumbai, they are more interested in buying product

    with good brand equity. So because of this reason as we can say from the analysis that

    though only 11% of retailers consider that the Lays provide the best margin, which means

    89% of retailers dont agree with this, still they stock the Lays product in their store. The

    only reason behind this is the demand of the product. Retailers have to compulsorily getthe stock of Lays so that the customers dont go unsatisfactorily.

    Of those 11% of retailers who think that lays provide best margin, 73% of retailers sell

    only Lays product in their stores. So they had no option but to select Lays as their choice.

    If we look at Euro, 24% of retailers think that provide best margin. So the company has

    to work on its margin level so that more of the retailers would demand Euro because of

    good margin of profit being provided by the company.

    Analysis and Interpretation:-

    From the analysis, we can say that, 70% of retailers expect 14%-16% of margin on the

    product so that they can earn a good profit.Here stands the chance for the Euro Company

    to outperform the competitors. As we have seen before the company does have a good

    brand image, they do provide qualitative product and also have a good packaging. So if

    the company can work on its cost and if they provide the retailers with good margin, they

    would stock the Euro products. Also they would promote the product by displaying first

    the Euro products and then the rest of the products. This would help the company in

    increasing the sales and also the retailers would prefer the Euro products.

    it provides quality product, has a good taste, packaging and crispiness in its product.

    These all reasons make it favourable for the customers to buy the lays product.

    Euro has to work a little more on its brand image. The company is already doing well

    with it but the efforts are concentrated only to the regional level. Time has arrived

    wherein the company should go national to gain wide recognition.

    Analysis and Interpretation:-

    From this analysis we can say that the maximum snacks sell at the price of 10. Customers

    are not ready to purchase the snacks at the rate of 20. So its a great opportunity and

    chance for all the company to stop selling the product at 5 and make the packages of Rs.

    10. This would help them earning more. Also retailers can earn good margin on Rs 10

    product rather than on Rs 5 product.

    Som-Lalit Institute of Management Studies (SLIMS)

    Analysis and Interpretation:-

    Customers today want variety in what so ever they purchase. Retailers inorder to keep

    their customers happy ensures that their customers get whatever they demand. So

    providing variety is one of the ways of having a competitive edge over the rivals. The

    same strategy is being adopted by Lays. Lays provide wide variety of products in their

    one product category say for example wafers. One can get vast variety in it. Also they

    introduced new flavors based upon the occasion. This gives chance to the customers to

    taste new varieties.

    So providing variety is crucial in building brand. The same strategy is being adopted by

    Balaji. But Balaji dont have many varieties though it offers some.

    Euro in its initial stage is providing the variety but it is not enough. They will have to

    work on their R&D to get some new flavors and varieties previously not been consumed

    by anyone. This would enhance their brand image.

    FINDINGS

    1) AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCT

    In relation to this question all the retailers replied positively, which shows 100%

    availability of all the products of EURO on time without any delay.

    2) POPULARITY OF THE PRODUCT

    When I asked about customers preference or about the product highly demanded by the

    customers, the retailers said that- Highest demand is for potato chips

    - Second is for Farali Chevdo

    - Third is for namkeens like ratlami sev etc.

    - Fourth is for sing.

    3) OPTION FOR UNSOLD GOODS

    For unsold goods dealers should provide option like money back or changing of the stocketc. EURO dealers also give the option of replacement it is one of the good techniques of

    promoting the product. All the retailers got replacement facility however in reality most

    of the retailers said that there hasnt been the case of unsold stock.
