Case Title:

A Study of Soap Segment in Indian FMCG Market

Abstract:
The case study is meant for Chi Square Analysis. The case study through a research study analyses the overall effect of various sales promotion techniques on consumer buying behaviour. It examined the perception of customers on sales promotion and also the differential effect of the two types of sales promotions namely, cash discount and free gift on the perceptions of the customers. The research revealed that all the sales promotional measures aim at building product awareness, creating interest in the product, stimulating demand by convincing the customers and reinforcing the brand to get loyal customers. The case study ends with the conclusion that the consumers prefer mainly cash discounts rather than any other type of promotional techniques like buy-one-get-one-free, contests and lucky draws as well as the surprise gifts and gift hampers.
