INTRODUCTION

Research is the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information to increase our understanding of the phenomenon under study. It is the function of the researcher to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon and to communicate that understanding to others.

Research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating, hypothesis or suggested solution, collecting, organizing and evaluating data, research conclusion and testing of hypothesis.

According to Philip Kotler : “Research is a systematic problem analysis, model building and fact finding for the purpose of improved decision making.”

Research is thus, an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for its advancement. It is the pursuit of truth with the help of study, observation, comparison and experiments. In short, the research for knowledge through objective and systematic method of finding solution to a problem is research.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

The purpose of research is to discover answer to questions through the application of scientific procedures. The main aim of research is to find the truth which is hidden and which has not been discovered as yet. Though each research study has its own specific purpose, we may think of research objectives as following.

To gain familiarity with phenomenon or to achieve new insight into it. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a

group. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is

associated with something else. To test hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables.

1) Primary research objective: To find out the demographic profile of the blood donor. Identify mind sate of Donor and Non-Donor about Blood Donation, Blood Bank and

its fiction. Evaluate work of Blood bank according to different criteria of marketing aspects.

2) Secondary research objective:This shows how blood bank works efficiently without problems. For that we arrange survey for healthy and mature population of Ahmedabad to identify strength and short coming of Blood Bank and it’s Faction.

QUESTIONNAIRE DEVELOPMENT

Knowledge about a subject may generate a number of questions. It then becomes necessary to ask whether these questions can be answered through one study or if more than one study needed. Additional research questions can be developed, but several basic principles should be taken into consideration.

All questions, primary and secondary, should be developed at the beginning and planning stages of a study. Any additional questions should never compromise the primary question because it is the primary research question that forms the basis of the hypothesis and study objectives. It must be kept in mind that within the scope of one study, the presence of a number of research questions will affect and potentially increase the complexity of both the study design and subsequent statistical analyses, not to mention the actual feasibility of answering every question.

A sensible strategy is to establish a single primary research question around which to focus the study plan. In a study, the primary research question should be clearly stated at the end of the introduction of the grant proposal, and it usually specifies the population to be studied, the intervention to be implemented and other circumstantial factors.

Generally we can use questionnaire for asking questions related to our research. Here three main aspects of a questionnaire which is necessary to follow for better result of research.

1. General form: The questions are presented in questionnaire with exactly the same wording and in the same order to all respondents. The form of the question may be either closed (i.e., of the type ‘yes’ or ‘no’) or open (i.e., inviting free response) but should be stated in advance and not constructed during questioning.

Page 3: Blood Donation marketing

Market Research on Blood Donation

2. Question sequence: In order to make the questionnaire effective and ensure quality to the reply received, a researcher should pay attention to the question-sequence in preparing the questionnaire. A proper sequence of questions reduces the chances of individual questions being misunderstood. The following type of questions should generally be avoided as opening questions:

1) Questions that effect on the memory of the respondent; 2) Questions of a personal character;3) Questions related to personal wealth, etc.

3. Question formulation and wording: The researcher should note that each question must be very clear for any sort of misunderstanding can do irreparable harm to a survey. In general, all questions should meet the following standards:

1) Should be easily understood;2) Should be simple;3) Should be concrete and should conform as much as possible to the respondent’s

way of thinking.

PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION

The researcher can gather the primary data, secondary data or both. What data sources are to be used is depend upon research subject.

Primary data are freshly gathered data for a specific purpose or for a specific research project.

Secondary data are that were collected for another purpose and already exist some-where.

IMPORTANCE OF PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION Importance of Primary data cannot be neglected. A research can be conducted

without secondary data but a research based on only secondary data is least reliable and may have biases because secondary data has already been manipulated by human beings.

Page 4: Blood Donation marketing

Market Research on Blood Donation

In statistical surveys it is necessary to get information from primary sources and work on primary data: for example, the statistical records of female population in a country cannot be based on newspaper, magazine and other printed sources.

One such source is old and secondly they contain limited information as well as they can be misleading and biased.For collecting primary data we arrange survey of 500 Healthy population of Ahmedabad, it conduct thought Questionnaire contain relative question for both Donor and Non-Donor.

IMPORTANCE OF SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION Secondary data can be less valid but its importance is still there. Sometimes it is

difficult to obtain primary data; in these cases getting information from secondary sources is easier and possible.

Sometimes primary data does not exist in such situation one has to confine the research on secondary data.

Sometimes primary data is present but the respondents are not willing to reveal it in such case too secondary data can suffice: for example, if the research is on the psychology of transsexuals first it is difficult to find out transsexuals and second they may not be willing to give information you want for your research, so you can collect data from books or other published sources.As we know secondary data is good startup of Research. We collect basic information about Blood Donation, Blood Bank, it’s History, Marketing elements, What is Research and it’s procedure etc. from some Book and online websites like.

Books Kotler, Armstrong, Agnihotri and Haque (2010), Principles of Marketing, 13th Edition,

RESEARCH PLAN

Researcher must determine the exact information needed, develop a plan for gathering it efficiently, and present the plan to execute it. The research plan outlines sources of existing data and spell out the specific research an approach contact methods, sampling plan, and instruments that researcher will use to gather new data.

“The Systematic design, collection, analysis, and reporting of Data relevant to a specific marketing situation facing an organization.”

RESEARCH APPROACH

Research approach includes followings:

1. Observation,2. Survey,3. Focus groups,4. Behavioral data and5. Experiments.

1. OBSERVATION: Observational research generally useful in rural area where you or researcher doesn’t know their target population. In this method firstly the researcher observed their targeted population and based on that observation he may present the result.

2. SURVEY: Survey is best suited for descriptive research. Researcher undertakes survey to learn about people’s knowledge, beliefs, preference and satisfaction. It requires development of survey instruments, usually questionnaires which the respondents are asked to fill up.

3. FOCUS GROUP: In focus group the researcher gather 6 to 10 people who are invited to spend a few hours with a specialized moderator in order to discuss a subject of research. The moderator needs to be objectives, skilled and knowledge in group dynamics. Participants are normally offered some gifts or incentives for attending the meetings.

4. BEHAVIOURAL DATA: In behavioral data the researcher get result based on people’s behavior. Firstly researcher analysis the behavior of targeted people and then makes result after interpretation.

5. EXPERIMENTS: The most scientifically valid research is experimental research. The purpose of this result is to capture the cause and effect relationship. To the extent that might explain the result, research and researcher can have confidence in the conclusions.

In our case we can use simply Survey Research the factors which affect positively and negatively blood donation by descriptive research.

We can easily learn people’s knowledge, beliefs, preferences, etc. by survey we can stated some factors as under.

CONTACT METHOD

Now researcher must decide how to contact the subjects:

1. Mail questionnaire;2. Telephone interview;3. Seasonal interview and 4. Online interview.

1) MAIL QUESTIONNAIRE: It is the best way to reach people who wouldn’t give personal interviews or whose responses might be biased or distorted by the interviewers. But in this method the response rate is low or slow.

2) TELEPHONE INTERVIEW: It is the best method for gathering information through quickly and the interviewer is also able to clarify question if respondents don’t understand them.

3) SEASONAL INTERVIEW: It is the most versatile method for research. The interviewer can ask more questions and reward additional observation about the respondent, such as dress and body language. However this meth is most expensive and subject to interviewer bias and requires more administrative planning and supervision.

Page 7: Blood Donation marketing

Market Research on Blood Donation

4) ONLINE INTERVIEW: there are so many ways to do research on internet. A company can make questionnaire and put it on its website. Inviting people can give the interview by fulfilling this questionnaire.

We will use personal interview for this survey. We students meet respondent personally to get information.

SAMPLING PLAN A sample is a finite part of a statistical population whose properties are studied to

gain information about the whole. When dealing with people, it can be defined as a set of respondent selected from a larger population for the purpose of a survey.

A population is a group of individuals, persons, objects, or items from which are taken for measurement.

Sampling is the act, process, or technique of selecting a suitable sample, or a representative’s part of a population for the purpose of determining parameters or characteristic of the whole population.

Purpose of samplingTo draw conclusions about populations from samples, we must use inferential statistics

which enables us to determine a population`s characteristics by directly observing only a sample of the population. We obtain a sample rather than a complete enumeration (a census) of the population for many reasons. Obviously, it is cheaper to observe a part rather than the whole, but we should prepare ourselves to cope with the dangers of using samples. Some procedures are better than others but all may yield samples that are inaccurate and unreliable. Minimization of dangers is possible but some potential error is the price we must pay for the convenience and savings that the sample provides.

1. SAMPLE UNIT2. SAMPLE SIZE AND 3. SAMPLING PROCEDURE

1. Sampling Unit: It refers to the Best source from given population by which we can gather the information.

We will select Sample unit as Adult and healthy population of Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Page 8: Blood Donation marketing

Market Research on Blood Donation

2. Sampling Size: As we know large population give reliable results, but it’s not necessary or possible to sample the entire target population to achieve reliable results. We may be interested in surveying the people who are living in cities from the total number of people who don’t donate blood due to fear.

The sample size for our Survey is 500 respondents

3. Sampling Procedure: There are basically two types of sampling procedures:

i. Probability Sampling: It allows the confidence limits to be calculated for sampling error & makes the sample more representatives.

Simple Random sampling Stratified sampling Systematic sampling Cluster/Area sampling

ii. Non Probability Sampling: When the cost or time to use probability sampling is too high, marketing researchers will take this method.

Convenience sampling Judgmental sampling Quota sampling

We have use convenience sampling for the survey

Research instrument

Marketing researchers have a choice of three main research instruments in collecting primary data:

1. Questionnaires2. Qualitative measure3. Technological devices.

1. Questionnaires: It consists of a set of questions presented to respondents. Because of its flexibility, it’s by far the most common instrument used to collect primary data. Researchers need to carefully develop, test & debug questionnaires before administrating them on a large scale. For example the form, wording a sequence of questions. There are basically two types of questions.

Page 9: Blood Donation marketing

49

Market Research on Blood Donation

A) Closed end questions: which specify all possible answers& provide answers that are easier to interpret & tabulate question with possible answer which is yes or no.

For Example we can ask the following questions:

1) Do you donate the blood?a) Yes b) No

2) What are the reasons of donating the blood?a) Social responsibility.b) Special benefits.c) a & b.d) None of above.

B) Open-end questions: Which allow respondents to answer in their own words & often renewal more about how people think? They are especially useful in exploratory research, where the researcher is looking for insight in to how people think rather than measuring how many people think rather than measuring how many people think a certain way.

For example we can ask the following questions:

Have you donated blood ever? Explain your own view about blood donation.

What is the importance of blood donation? What is the social factors affecting blood donation?

We use Questionnaires which consist of set of Question regarding blood donation presented to respondents. Because of its flexibility, it is by far the most common instrument used to collect primary data.

2. Qualitative measures: Some time market prefers more qualitative methods for gaining consumer opinion. It is making because or consumer action doesn’t always match their answer to survey questions. It is a relatively unstructured measurement approaches that permit a range of possible response.

3. Technological devices: These are occasionally useful in marketing research. Galvanometers. Can measure the interest or emotions aroused by exposure to a specific ad or picture. Eye cameras study respondents’ eye movements to see where their eyes land first, how long they finger on a given item and so on.

Limitation of the survey

One of major limitation is that our research conduct in Ahmedabad and not

visit distant are like Bapunaga, Druma, Chankheda etc.

Some donors who donate for monetary reward not provide true

information.

Female Donor hesitated to true provide information.

Some Donor donate in long past so, they provide information arbitrary.

We arrange this survey in 1 to 2 month that can be better finding if it

Continuous or Repetitive.

Suggestions

There is only 31% of Female Donor out of 184 Female samples, so great

motivation for Women is required.

There are only 6% regular Donor so, separate facility provide to them to

encourage them.

Only 13% of Donor motivated by Blood Bank staff so improve that one.

Prathama and Indian red cross provide Blood Mobile Vane but Donor Blood

Bank and Blood Camp to donate then Mobile vane so, improve Mobile vane

functionality.

Most of Donor prefers Prathama and Indian red cross to donate and only 10%

donate in other so improve functionality of other Blood Bank.

Weighted average of Incentives to donate [Gift] is 3.59 out of 5 which is lowest

in given 11 parameters so provide Good reward for Donor.

Weighted average of Promotional activity is 3.64 out of 5 which is second last

in given 11 parameters so efficient promotion for Blood Donation is needed.

Most of Donor, who face problem to get Blood from other Bank so, provides

priority to Blood Donor to give Blood.

Very Small number of Student donates blood, so Blood Bank has to arrange to

motivate youth of College.
