1.1 INTRODUCTION

The research Project is on the topic of “Brand Image of Bajaj capital.

Now first let us look at the definition of a Brand:

Page 23: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

A) TEMPORARY NEEDS / THREATS

The original purpose of life insurance remains an important element, namely providing for

replacement of income on death etc.

B) REGULAR SAVINGS

Providing for one's family and oneself, as a medium to long term exercise (through a series of

regular payment of premiums). This has become more relevant in recent times as people seek financial

independence for their family.

C) INVESTMENT

Put simply, the building up of savings while safeguarding it from the ravages of inflation.

Unlike regular saving products, investment products are traditionally lump sum investments, where the

individual makes a one off payment.

D) RETIREMENT

Provision for later years becomes increasingly necessary, especially in a changing cultural and social

environment. One can buy a suitable insurance policy, which will provide periodical payments in one's old age.

 

THE DEFINITION OF BRAND:

A brand is an identifiable entity that makes specific promises of value.

Page 24: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

In its simplest form, a brand is nothing more and nothing less than the promises of value you or your

product makes. These promises can be implied or explicitly stated, but none-the-less, value of some

type is promised.

NOW LET US FURTHER DEFINE BRAND IMAGE:

Brand Image is when people recognize your brand as yours. This does not necessarily mean they

prefer your brand (brand preference), attach a high value to, or associate any superior attributes to your

brand, it just means they recognize your brand and can identify it under different conditions.

Brand Image consists of both brand recognition, which is the ability of consumers to confirm that they

have previously been exposed to your brand, and brand recall, which reflects the ability of consumers

to name your brand when given the product category, category need, or some other similar cue.

Aided Image occurs when you show or read a list of brands and the person expresses familiarity with

your brand only after they hear or see it.

HISTORICAL & TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF BRANDS

Brands identify the source of market of a product and allow consumers-either individuals or

organizations-to assign responsibility to a particular manufacturer or distributor. Consumers may

Page 25: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

evaluate the identical product differently depending on how it is branded. Consumers learn about

brands through past experiences with the product and its marketing program. They find out which

brands satisfy their needs and which ones do not. As consumers’ lives become more complicated,

rushed, and time-starved, the ability of a brand to simplify decisions making and reduce risk is

invaluable.

Brands also perform valuable functions for firms. First, they simplify product handling or tracing.

Brands help to organize inventory and accounting records. A brand also offers the firm legal

protection for unique features or aspects of the product. The brand name can be protected through

registered trademarks; manufacturing processes can be protected through patents; and packaging can

be protected through copyrights and designs .These intellectual property rights ensure that the firm can

safely invest in the brand and reap the benefits of a valuable asset.

Brands can signal a certain level of quality so that satisfied buyers can easily choose the product again.

Brand loyalty provides predictability and security of demand for the firm and creates barriers to entry

that make it difficult for other firms to enter the market. Loyalty also can translate into a willingness to

pay a higher price—often 20 to 25 percent more. Although competitors may easily duplicate

manufacturing processes and product designs, they cannot easily match lasting impressions in the

minds of individuals and organizations from years of marketing activity and product experience. In

this sense, branding can be seen as a powerful means to secure a competitive advantage.

To firms, brands thus represent enormously valuable pieces of legal property that can influence

consumer behavior, be sought and sold, provide the security of sustained future revenues to their

owner. Large earning multiple have been paid for brands in mergers or acquisitions, starting with the

boom years of the mid-1980s. The price premium is often justified on the basis of assumptions of the

Page 26: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

extra profits that could be extracted and sustained from the brands, as well as the tremendous difficulty

and expense of creating similar brands from scratch. Wall Street believes that strong brands result in

better earnings and profit performance for firms, wh turn, creates greater value for shareholders. Much

of the recent interest in brands by senior management has been result of these bottom-line financial

considerations. “Marketing Memo: The brand Report card” lists 10 key characteristics based on a

review of the world’s strongest brands.

SCOPE OF STUDY

Is to check that does Brand Image among Bajaj capital affects the sales or creates a specific image

about the brand which helps the Brand in gaining an advantage over the competitors. As the Research

Methodology used for this research would be Personal Interview or Telephonic Interviews of the

Targeted Masses using a set of questionnaires designed to get the response which would help in

achieving the objective of the research. The Limitations faced in this research would be that it would

be constituted on the data gathered from an already decided Target audience, which would be very

small (namely 100 consumers). Hence we would not be able to come to a strong recommendation as

the number of the responses would be limited. However, on the other hand the data gathered would be

very accurate and not vague, which would help us come to conclusion which in turn will help us to

reach the objective of this research.

IMPORTANCE/RELEVANCE OF THE MARKET RESEARCH

The importance of this market research would be, that it will help us to determine which financial

service Brands enjoy different benefits due to their Brand Image in the mind of the consumers. Our

research work will help us define how does brand Image helps the customer to pick or choose that

Page 27: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

specific brand and get a clear picture as in is Brand Image really important part of the marketing

strategy or is it just a burden on the marketing system.

Brand Image is an important way of promoting service related products. This is because for these

products, there are very few factors that differentiate one product from its competitors. Therefore, the

product that maintains the highest brand Image compared to its competitors will usually get the most

sales, our research findings will help us in determining those factors.

FINANCIAL SERVICE 

Financial products act as an investment avenue and provide the required financial security to the

investors based on the risk-return profile of the financial products. In the past, traditional

financialproducts were offered in India through government initiatives by Public Sector Banks (PSBs)

(depositaccount, credit account), Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), and postal department (recurring

deposit,National Saving Certificate, Kisan Vikas Patra). However, in recent years with the advent of

liberalizationof financial services industry, diverse financial products have been introduced through

participation of private and foreign entities in addition to the public sector enterprises. These include

products such as debit and credit cards by banks, open-end and closed-end mutual fund schemes

(Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Index Funds, Systematic Investment Plans (SIP), sector funds, etc.),

life and non-life insurance schemes (Unit Linked Investment Plans (ULIPs), pension plans, children

education plans, etc.).

It further includes shares and debt securities offered by various entities, investments in which are

mainly facilitated by the brokerage houses. This has led to rising competition through introduction of

innovative and attractive products, regulatory initiatives and growth in the investor base along with

increased marketing activities in the financial sector. The increased activities in the financial sector

could be reflected in the growth in the aggregate deposits with banks, which has increased from 16%

Page 28: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

in FY03 to 24% in FY07. The capital markets are also on the growth trajectory where volumes and

market capitalization, both have registered growth. The market capitalization1 to GDP ratio has

increased from 22% in FY 03 to 82% in FY07 and the turnover (NSE) has registered a CAGR of 26%

from FY03 to FY07. Similarly, activities in the mutual funds have also reflected growth with the

Assets under Management (AUM) increasing at a CAGR of 33% during the same time period. The

number of new mutual fund schemes introduced has risen from 41 in FY01 to a staggering 414 in

FY072. Further, in the insurance sector, total life insurance premium collected by all the life insurance

companies has grown at

CAGR of 23% from FY03 to FY07. Also, the number of new life insurance policies introduced in

FY07stood at 208 as compared to merely 20 in FY013.

The introduction of varied products has increased the scope of the financial sector to a very large

extent.

1.2 SOME OF THE FINANCIAL PRODUCTS:

MUTUAL FUNDS:

In Short, a mutual fund is a common pool of money in to which investors with common investment

objective place their contributions that are to be invested in accordance with the stated investment

Page 29: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

objective of the scheme. The investment manager would invest the money collected from the investor

in to assets that are defined/ permitted by the stated objective of the scheme. For example, an equity

fund would invest equity and equity related instruments and a debt fund would invest in bonds,

debentures, gilts etc . Mutual Fund is a suitable investment for the common man as it offers an

opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low

cost.

A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools together the savings of a number of investors who share a common

financial goal. The fund manager invests this pool of money in securities -- ranging from shares and

debentures to money market instruments or in a mixture of equity and debt, depending upon the

objectives of the scheme.

Why choose Mutual Funds?

Investing in Mutual Funds offers several benefits:

• Professional expertise: Fund managers are professionals who track the market on an on-

going basis. With their mix of professional qualification and market knowledge, they are better

placed than the average investor to understand the markets

• Diversification: Since a Mutual Fund scheme invests in number of stocks and/or

debentures, the associated risks are greatly reduced.

• Relatively less expensive: When compared to direct investments in the capital market,

Mutual Funds cost less. This is due to savings in brokerage costs, demat costs, depository costs

etc.

• Liquidity: Investments in Mutual Funds are completely liquid and can be redeemed at their

Net Assets Value-related price on any working day.

• Transparency: You will always have access to up-to-date information on the value of your

investment in addition to the complete portfolio of investments, the proportion allocated to

different assets and the fund manager’s investment strategy.

Page 30: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

• Flexibility: Through features such as Systematic Investment Plans, Systematic Withdrawal

Plans and Dividend Investment Plans, you can systematically invest or withdraw funds

according to your needs and convenience.

• SEBI regulated market: All Mutual Funds are registered with SEBI and function within

the provisions and regulations that protect the interests of investors. AMFI is the supervisory

body of the Mutual Funds industry.

Types of Funds.

There are a wide variety of Mutual Fund schemes that cater to your needs, whatever your

age, financial position, risk tolerance and return expectation. Whether as the foundation of your

investment program or as a supplement, Mutual Fund schemes can help you meet your financial goals.

The different types of Mutual Funds are as follows:

Diversified Equity Mutual Fund Scheme. A mutual fund scheme that achieves the benefits of diversification by investing in the stocks

of companies across a large number of sectors. As a result, it minimizes the risk of exposure to a single

company or sector.

Sectoral Equity Mutual Fund Scheme. A mutual fund scheme which focuses on investments in the equity of companies across a limited number of sectors -- usually one to three.

Index Funds These funds invest in the stocks of companies, which comprise major indices such as the BSE Sensex or the S&P CNX Nifty in the same weightage as the respective indice.

Equity Linked Tax Saving Schemes (ELSS)

Mutual Fund schemes investing predominantly in equity, and offering tax deduction to

Page 31: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

investors under section 80 C of the Income Tax Act. Currently rebate u/s 80C can be availed up to a

maximum investment of Rs 1,00,000. A lock-in of 3 years is mandatory.

Monthly Income Plan Scheme

A mutual fund scheme which aims at providing regular income (not necessarily monthly,

don't get misled by the name) to the unitholder, usually by way of dividend, with investments

predominantly in debt securities (upto 95%) of corporates and the government, to ensure regularity of

returns, and having a smaller component of equity investments (5% to 15%)to ensure higher return.

Income schemes

Debt oriented schemes investing in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate

debentures, Government securities and money market instruments.

Floating-Rate Debt Fund

A fund comprising of bonds for which the interest rate is adjusted periodically according to

a predetermined formula, usually linked to an index.

Gilt Funds - These funds invest exclusively in government securities.

Balanced Funds The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income as such schemes

invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents.

They generally invest 40-60% in equity and debt instruments.

Fund of Funds

A Fund of Funds (FoF) is a mutual fund scheme that invests in other mutual fund

schemes. Just as fund invests in stocks or bonds on your behalf, a FoF invests in other mutual fund

schemes.

INTRODUCTION TO BRAND IMAGE

Brand Image is a marketing concept that measures consumers' knowledge of a brand's existence. At

the aggregate (brand) level, it refers to the proportion of consumers who know of the brand.

Measurement driven conceptualization

Page 49: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

Brand Image, In general, means the extent to which a brand associated with a particular product is

documented by potential and existing clients either positively or negatively. Creation of brand Image

is the primary goal of advertising at the beginning of any product's life cycle in target markets. In fact,

brand Image has influence on buying behavior of a buyer. Brand Image can be measured by showing a

consumer the brand and asking whether or not they knew of it beforehand.

However, in common market research practice a variety of recognition and recall measures of brand

Image are employed all of which test the brand name's association to a product category cue.

This came about because most market research in the 20th Century was conducted by post or

telephone, actually showing the brand to consumers usually required more expensive face-to-face

interviews (until based interviews became possible).

This has led many textbooks to conceptualize brand Image simply as its measures, that is, knowledge

that the brand is a member of a particular product category, e.g. soft-drinks.

STATISTICAL TOOLS

The tools which used in the computation processes are

Chi-square Distribution:

1.�² distribution is a limiting approximation of the multinomial distribution.

2. Though �² distribution is essentially a continuous distribution the �2 test can be applied to

disrete random variables whose frequencies can be counted and tabulated with or without grouping.

3. With the help of �² test we can find out whether two or more attributes are associated or not.

�² =[∑(O-E)2/E];

E=Expected frequency

A=The row total for the row containing the cell

B=The column total for the column containing the cell.

N=The total number of observations.

E=(A)*(B)/N

The degrees of freedom

Is v=(r-1)*(c-1):

v =number of degrees of freedom

Page 73: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

If the calculated value of �² is less than the table value at a certain level of significance

(generally5%level), we say that the results of the experiment providence no evidence for doubting the

hypothesis or, in other words the hypothesis that the attributes are not associated holds good.

CONCLUSION

The Front Runner Bajaj Capital

Being a frontrunner in the financial services, Bajaj capital has always performed both the category

task, as well as the brand task, with the help of advertising and public relations (PR). The company’s

initial campaigns addressed various myths and misconceptions about financial services, seeking to

change customer attitudes. For instance, life insurance had long been regarded as expensive, rigid,

difficult to understand and good only for tax saving.

The Survey Experience

• The experience for customer interface is really learning and remarkable.

Page 82: A project report on Bajaj Capital

  

• The different types of responses of the same customer on the same ground, sometimes creates

confusion that what they really wants to express, sometimes I felt that they are much more expecting

from the company like Bajaj capital that is why they are arguing in some cases.

• The area used for research work, as I consider is much more educated and aware in respect, so we

might face the reverse condition when we do such work in rural part of India.
