RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Data Collection: Primary (questionnaire and PERSONAL

INTERVIEW) and

Secondary(magazines, websites and other such sources.)

Degree of research question: Exploratory study

Research Environment : Field StudyTools Used for Data Analysis: Table, chart &

graph.Sampling Area: Kolkata (Tripalpatti & Dalhousie

area.)Population : Wholesalers & Retailers.Sample Size : 20 (14 Wholesalers & 6 Retailers)Sampling Technique : Convenience Sampling

LIMITATION OF STUDY

The research was conducted in a very small area.

Time factor was also important for me. I had limited time for the

research, for which a full-fledged report was insufficient for me.

The customer filled the questionnaire mostly in careless manner, so it

was difficult to make them hold for time.

The sample size is also very small, that is why analysis on the basis of

such small sample survey is not correct.

All the work has been done in some limited areas of Kolkata so the

finding should not be generalized.

Secondary data has also its own limitation.

There is a tuff competition in the market. So, Company should more care about the features of the product.

Pricing policy should be make with more care because mostly customer consider price differences.

Company can have many promotional tools as competitor are using less.
