Every area differed from the other in respects of tastes and preferences.
Approaches to different segment.
Each retailer and their levels of satisfaction and dissatisfaction varied from one another with respect to the various aspects
involved in the sales and purchase, both from the supplier and consumer point of view .
I also got to know the tendency of ordering and behavioral of consumption of consumers.
From the areas visited, Mankhurd, Govandi and Tilaknagar
area was seen as “Bottom of Pyramid” for brand.
Local Brands in certain areas give stiff competition to Amul by adopting differential pricing strategy.

different brands, to alter their own according to the
demand.

• Company should consider on the supply of product in the
peak season, to meet with demand of the consumers and
