Introduction

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

The liberalization and globalization of Indian economy has taken place almost a decade

ago, the focus point in any organization is “Customer satisfaction”. The phase such as

“Customer is king in our business”, “service to customer is service to god” are no more a

myth but turned out to be a reality. Customer satisfaction is the base of any business

expansion because of the stiff competition prevalent in the market.

Whether the buyer is satisfied after the purchase depends on the offer’s performance in

relation to the buyer’s expectation. In general; satisfaction is a person’s feeling of pleasure

or disappointment resulting from comparing a product’s perceived performance ( or

outcome) in relation to his or her expectation.

As this definition makes clear, satisfaction is a function of perceived performance and

expectation. If the performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If

the performance matches the expectations the customer is satisfied.

4.1 Perception

Unlike motivation that requires a reaction to a stimulus, perception relates to the

meaning that is assigned to that stimulus as marketers are interested in how buyers

perceive and react to products in relation to such matters as quality, aesthetics, price and

image, since products not only exist in partial terms but also how they are perceived by

consumers in relation need satisfaction. This perception by buyers is affected by the

nature of the product itself, by the circumstances of the individual buyer and by the

buyer’s innate situation in terms of how ready they are to make the purchase in terms of

needing it at a particular point of time.

4.2 Attitude

Our strongest basic attitudes are implanted in our formative years and these come

largely from the influence of our close family group and other social interaction. More

refined attitude develops later. In marketing terms, the sum total of our attitudes can be

regarded as a set of cognitions that a potential buyer has in relation to a potential

purchase or purchasing environment. This is why certain stores or companies go out of

their way to engender favorable attitude and it is why manufacturer seek to induce loyalty

towards their particular brand or product.

4.3 Learning

In the context of marketing, learning is a result of information received through

advertising or other publicity or through some reference group or other. In order to have

an effect on motives or attitudes, marketing effort should associate the product with

positive drives and reinforcing messages.

Detergent is a compound or mixture of components, intended to assist cleaning. They may be:1) Detergent Soap2) Detergent Powder

Detergent Chemistry?

To understand what is needed to achieve effective cleaning, it is helpful to have a basic

knowledge of soap and detergent chemistry

Water, the liquid commonly used for cleaning, has a property called surface

tension. In the body of the water, each molecule is surrounded and attracted by

other water molecules. However, at the surface, those molecules are surrounded by

other water molecules only on the water side. A tension is created as the water molecules at the

surface are pulled into the body of the water. This tension causes water to bead up on surfaces

(glass, fabric), which slows wetting of the surface and inhibits the cleaning process. You can see

surface tension at work by placing a drop of water onto a counter top. The drop will hold its

shape and will not spread

In the cleaning process, surface tension must be reduced so water can spread and

wet surfaces. Chemicals that are able to do this effectively are called surface active

agents, or surfactants. They are said to make water "wetter."

Surfactants perform other important functions in cleaning, such as loosening, emulsifying

(dispersing in water) and holding soil in suspension until it can be rinsed away. Surfactants can

also provide alkalinity, which is useful in removing acidic soils.

Surfactants are classified by their ionic (electrical charge) properties

in water: anionic (negative charge), nonionic (no charge), cationic

(positive charge) and amphoteric (either positive or negative charge).

Soap is an anionic surfactant. Other anionic as well as nonionic surfactants are the main

ingredients in today's detergents. Now let's look closer at the chemistry of surfactants.

SOAPS

Soaps are water-soluble sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids. Soaps are made from fats and

oils, or their fatty acids, by treating them chemically with a strong alkali.

First let's examine the composition of fats, oils and alkalis; then we'll review the soapmaking

process

.Fats and Oils

The fats and oils used in soapmaking come from animal or plant sources. Each fat or oil is made

up of a distinctive mixture of several different triglycerides

In a triglyceride molecule, three fatty acid molecules are attached to one molecule of glycerine.

There are many types of triglycerides; each type consists of its own particular combination of

fatty acids

Fatty acids are the components of fats and oils that are used in making soap. They are weak acids

composed of two parts

A carboxylic acid group consisting of one hydrogen (H) atom, two oxygen (O) atoms, and one

carbon (C) atom, plus a hydrocarbon chain attached to the carboxylic acid group. Generally, it is

made up of a long straight chain of carbon (C) atoms each carrying two hydrogen (H) atoms.

Alkali

An alkali is a soluble salt of an alkali metal like sodium or potassium. Originally, the alkalis used

in soapmaking were obtained from the ashes of plants, but they are now made commercially.

Today, the term alkali describes a substance that chemically is a base (the opposite of an acid)

and that reacts with and neutralizes an acid.

The common alkalis used in soapmaking are sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also

called caustic soda; and potassium hydroxide (KOH), also called caustic potash.

How Soaps are Made

Saponification of fats and oils is the most widely used soapmaking process. This method

involves heating fats and oils and reacting them with a liquid alkali to produce soap and water

(neat soap) plus glycerine.

The other major soapmaking process is the neutralization of fatty acids with an alkali. Fats and

oils are hydrolyzed (split) with a high-pressure steam to yield crude fatty acids and glycerine.

The fatty acids are then purified by distillation and neutralized with an alkali to produce soap and

water (neat soap).

When the alkali is sodium hydroxide, a sodium soap is formed. Sodium soaps are "hard" soaps.

When the alkali is potassium hydroxide, a potassium soap is formed. Potassium soaps are softer

and are found in some liquid hand soaps and shaving creams

The carboxylate end of the soap molecule is attracted to water. It

is called the hydrophilic (water-loving) end. The hydrocarbon chain is attracted to oil and grease

and repelled by water. It is known as the hydrophobic (water-hating) end.

SURFACTANTS IN DETERGENTS

<>A detergent is an effective cleaning product because it contains one or more surfactants. Because of

their chemical makeup, the surfactants used in detergents can be engineered to perform well under a

variety of conditions. Such surfactants are less sensitive than soap to the hardness minerals in water and

most will not form a film

Detergent surfactants were developed in response to a shortage of animal and vegetable fats and oils

during World War I and World War II. In addition, a substance that was resistant to hard water was

needed to make cleaning more effective. At that time, petroleum was found to be a plentiful source for

the manufacture of these surfactants. Today, detergent surfactants are made from a variety of

petrochemicals (derived from petroleum) and/or oleochemicals (derived from fats and oils).

Petrochemicals and Oleochemicals

Like the fatty acids used in soapmaking, both petroleum and fats and oils contain

hydrocarbon chains that are repelled by water but attracted to oil and grease in soils.

These hydrocarbon chain sources are used to make the water-hating end of the surfactant

molecule.

Other Chemicals

Chemicals, such as sulfur trioxide, sulfuric acid and ethylene oxide, are used to produce the water-

loving end of the surfactant molecule

Alkalis

As in soapmaking, an alkali is used to make detergent surfactants. Sodium and potassium hydroxide are

the most common alkalis

How Detergent Surfactants Are Made

Anionic Surfactants

The chemical reacts with hydrocarbons derived from petroleum or fats

and oils to produce new acids similar to fatty acids.

A second reaction adds an alkali to the new acids to produce one type of anionic surfactant molecule.

Nonionic Surfactants

Nonionic surfactant molecules are produced by first converting the hydrocarbon to an alcohol and then

reacting the fatty alcohol with ethylene oxide.

HOW SOAPS AND DETERGENTS WORK

These types of energy interact and should be in proper balance. Let's look at how they work together.

Let's assume we have oily, greasy soil on clothing. Water alone will not remove this soil. One

important reason is that oil and grease present in soil repel the water molecules.

Now let's add soap or detergent. The surfactant's water-hating end is repelled by water but attracted to

the oil in the soil. At the same time, the water-loving end is attracted to the water molecules.

These opposing forces loosen the soil and suspend it in the water. Warm or hot water helps dissolve

grease and oil in soil. Washing machine agitation or hand rubbing helps pull the soil free.

Marketing means understanding and responding to customer needs, a pre-requisite (condition)

for any organization success.”

According to American marketing association, “marketing is concerned with people and the

activities involved in the flow of goods and serves from the producer to the consumer.”

According to W.J. Santan, “marketing is a total system of business activities designed to plan,

prices, promise and distribute want satisfying goods and services to present and potential

customer.”

DETERGENT MARKET IN INDIA

SATISFACTION

The Indian fabric wash products market was a highly fragmented one. There was a sizeable

unorganized sector. Of the 23 lakh-tonne market, laundry soaps and bars made from vegetable

oils accounted for around seven lakh tonnes with synthetic detergents making up the rest.

Detergent cakes accounted for 40% of the synthetic detergent used, while powder accounted for

the rest. Washing powders were categorized into four segments - economy (selling at less than

Rs.25 per kg), mid-priced (Rs.25 - Rs. 90 per kg), premium (Rs. 90 - Rs. 120 per kg) and

compact (selling at over Rs. 120 per kg). The compact, premium and medium priced segments

together accounted for 20% of the volume share and 35% of the value share. The economy

segment made up the remaining lion's share of the market. The fabric wash industry in India was

characterized by low per capita consumption, especially in rural markets. The major players in

the Indian detergent market were HLL, P&G, Nirma and Henkel (through its joint venture with

SPIC, a leading petrochemical company based in the south Indian city of Chennai).

MARKET SHARE

Major Players:

Ghari

Rin

Wheel

Tide

Nirma

NIRMA is one of the few names - which is instantly recognized as a true Indian brand, which

took on mighty multinationals and rewrote the marketing rules to win the heart of princess, i.e.

the consumer.

Nirma, the proverbial ‘Rags to Riches’ saga of Dr. Karsanbhai Patel, is a classic example of the

success of Indian entrepreneurship in the face of stiff competition. Starting as a one-man

operation in 1969, today, it has about 14, 000 employee-base and annual turnover is above Rs.

25, 00 crores.India is a one of the largest consumer economy, with burgeoning middle class pie.

In such a widespread, diverse marketplace, Nirma aptly concentrated all its efforts towards

creating and building a strong consumer preference towards its ‘value-for-money’ products.

Now, the year 2004 sees Nirma’s annual sales touch 800,000 tones, making it one of

the largest volume sales with a single brand name in the world. Looking at the FMCG synergies,

Nirma stepped into toilet soaps relatively late in 1990 but this did not deter it to achieve a

volume of 100,000 per annum. This makes Nirma the largest detergent and the second largest

toilet soap brand in India with market share of 38% and 20% respectively.

SURF EXCEL

Surf Excel is currently running two campaigns riding on the popularity of the "Daag Ache Hain"

( Dirt is good) campaign.The new campaign too strikes a chord with the consumers. Continuing

with the earlier campaign, the new ad features two kids taking a Puddle fight to distract their

fighting parents fighting over a car collision. The voice over says " ifsome thing good happens

because of dirt then Dirt is Good". According to a report in agencyfaqs, the creative team had a

tough task in continuing a classic campaign and no doubt they have been very successful.

The second campaign takes a cue from the World cup. The ad features a group of kids preparing

for World Cup 2015.

MARKRTING STRATEGIES OF ALL THE MAJOR PLAYERS.

When Procter& Gamble India (P&G) entered the detergent ,market of India at the beginning of

the 1990s, the market had just calmed down after a decade long battle between HLL’s Surf and

Nirma of Nirma Chemicals. Though there were many detergent brands in the market – Det, Key,

Pont, Chase, Vimal, Vijay, Adhunik, Plus, Hipolene, Tej, Mazda ,Sanzar , etc – Surf remained

the leader and Nirma the challenger. Choosing the price conscious, lower segment as its market

and taking advantage of the concessions as an SSI unit, Nirma Chemicals offered a low-priced

brand and promoted it aggressively. HLL had to defend Surf with all its might. The company

stepped up its promotion of Surf, relying heavily on aspects like quality and value for money. In

addition, HLL introduced a low priced brand, Wheel, and positioned it directly against Nirma in

the same segment. HLL also introduced Sunlight detergent powder, a brand extension of its

Sunlight washing soap taking advantage of its time tested brand image. Yet, within a few years,

Nirma garnered a share of 35 per cent of the market and literally shook Hindustan Lever. The

latter had been the market leader for years without any significant challenge whatsoever. Also,

by then the detergents market of India had grown into aRs 1,800 crore market. It was into this

market that P&G entered with its Ariel as a direct contestant against Surf. In fact, the P&G-HLL

battle finally turned out to be one of the major marketing encounters of the 1990s. P&G and

Lever, the rivals around the world, were now combating on Indian ground.

How did P&G go about marketing Ariel? What marketing strategy did P&G employ? P&G

Seeks leadership position in the industry: P&G laid down its marketing strategy in respect of

Ariel: P&G aims at making Ariel the leading detergent brand of India, squarely confronting the

exiting market leader, Hindustan Lever, and its leading brand, Surf. Our marketing strategy will

be centered around this major theme. The company will stick to this plan even if it means

sacrificing profits in the short run. P&G put Ariel on the Indian market in 1990, positioning it

directly against HLL’s Surf.

DETERGENTS UNDER SCRUTINY

The virtually unregulated use of pollutant chemicals in the Indian detergent industry is a situation

that needs to be quickly reversed, says Toxics Link.

October 2002 - Cleanliness has been an important consideration for human beings from time

immemorial, but the relation between personal and environmental cleanliness is a less obvious

one. Soap making dates back to about 1500 BC, the earliest records indicate that a combination

of animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts was used to form a soap-like material. In ancient

India too, people used soap preparations made from plant or animal fats. Modern technology has

provided synthetic detergents that have slowly replaced soaps. The first detergents were used

chiefly for hand dishwashing and fine fabric laundering. This was followed by the development

of all-purpose laundry detergents introduced in the U.S.

in 1946.

Today, India has a diverse range of detergents available off the shelf. The annual consumption of

detergents in India ranges to hundreds of thousands of tonnes. The formal sector with its

increasing ability to influence consumers via advertisements is expanding its market share

aggressively. The detergent market has evolved into a highly competitive one where a myriad

brands vie with each other to get the customers' attention. Each brand claims to clean whiter,

boasting of technologically dubious terms such as fighting granules, power pearls, etc.

Detergents and health

Detergents are household chemical cleaning compounds used for laundering and dishwashing.

They contain wetting agents and emulsifiers, based on non-soap synthetic surfactants. Synthetic

detergent powders consist of surface-active agents, builders and fillers. In addition they have

additives like anti re-deposition agents, optical fibre brighteners (whitening agents), bluing

agents, bleaching agents, foam regulators, organic sequestering agents, enzymes, perfumers, and

substances that regulate the density and assure crispness of the material they are used on.

A study done to understand the Indian consumers knowledge of harmful effects of detergents on

health and environment, showed that 77.6 percent of respondents had experienced some kinds of

skin irritation due to detergents. Of these the majority comprised of dhobis and rural women.

Conventional laundry detergents leave chemical residues on the clothes. These residues enter our

bodies either through the skin or through the lungs. They cause many common health problems

including allergies, skin infections and in rare cases, cancer. The fragrances used in laundry

detergents can prove allergic and be highly irritating to lungs, causing serious health effects to

people with asthma or chronic heart problems.

The usual result of a continuous and excessive exposure of the skin to detergents is drying,

fissuring and dotting of the keratin layer leading to increased permeability that causes

sensitization, which may develop into dermatitis. Elderly people are more susceptible to

infections that may lead to developing eczema.

Detergents and water pollution

Most laundry detergents in India are phosphate based. Phosphates are a major source of water

pollution that has become the direct cause of 42 per cent of human and animal diseases. In India,

per capita consumption of detergents in 1994 was 2.8 kg per annum. This is projected to rise to

over 4 kg/capita by 2005. In rural areas the use of detergent bars is expected to grow 7-8 per cent

annually. The figures are of concern because high quality detergents have as much as 35 per cent

STPP in them. According to Prof Narinder K. Kauschik, Professor emeritus for environmental

biology at the CanadianUniversity of Guelph, "the main problem is that of phosphate-based

detergents promoting eurtrophication of aquatic environments."

Eutrophication or Nutrient pollution is a process by which water bodies gradually age and

become more productive. Any natural process like this might take thousands of years to progress

but human activities accelerate this process tremendously. The presence of excessive plant

nutrients causes pollution of water bodies. These plant nutrients are supplied primarily in the

form of phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon to water bodies in various ways. Sewage perhaps is a

particular source of phosphorus when detergents containing large amounts of phosphates are

drained during washing. The algal boom leads to consumption of the oxygen dissolved in water,

creating hypoxic, and at times, near anoxic situation. This can lead to excessive eutrophication

that kills the fish, cause odour and increase pathogenic animals.

Seasonal impacts

Run-off of phosphates into water streams is not only due to detergents, but also due to fertilizers

and manures. Findings show that during the dry seasons when the run-off from agriculture is

virtually zero, and manure run-off is down to one fifth of the total annual rate, detergents are

responsible for additional loadings of rivers by about 7.3 per cent which poses significant

eutrophication impact risks. In India, it is not uncommon to see ponds, lakes and part of rivers

choking with algae or other aquatic plants. In the Indian context, this is a grim situation since

these water bodies are the primary sources of water for a large section of the population.

The Detergent Industry

Detergent industry refuses to take any action due to a lack of mandatory legislations. As a

proactive response to environment risks as result of increasing levels of phosphates, the industry

needs to reduce the perilously high phosphate levels of 30 per cent to far lower numbers.

Industry representatives have declined to do so on grounds that the amount of phosphate used in

northern countries is higher as compared to that in India. The fact is that India relies only on

Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) which are not fully functional even in metropolitan cities unlike

northern countries where STPs are installed for every few households. Industry ought to label its

products voluntarily for containing phosphate so that it can be left to the consumer to decide.

According to Prof. Kaushick strict regulations in North America and Europe makes it mandatory

for the multinational detergent industry to produce detergents with nominal phosphate content

(or even phosphate-free detergent). The same industry absolves itself of this responsibility in

India, where it manufactures detergents with a high phosphate content. The industry vehemently

opposes any regulation of phosphate use in detergents. It is not prepared to indicate the

percentage phosphate content on detergent packages.

Better options - Eco-friendly household cleaning powders

An environmentally superior detergent is the one that makes use of lesser chemical ingredients.

The toxicity of detergents decreases by non-addition of additives like perfumes, colour and

brightening agents. Minimal packaging can also reduce environmental harm substantially.

Synthetic surfactants may be replaced by non-petrochemical surfactants or vegetable oil soaps;

builders like phosphates can be replaced by sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate; dyes and

fragrances can be eliminated or minimized. For a simple formula to make your own detergent,

write to Toxics Link.

Detergent use can never be a totally non-polluting activity. The consumer needs to be informed

that the smaller detergent products can also be the least polluting ones. Consumers must press for

implementation of labeling standards and regulation so that they may avail of environmentally

friendly choices. Using 'green detergents' that do not contain non-essential additives like

perfumes, colour and brightening agents in minimal packaging will go a long way in ensuring a

cleaner and healthier environment.

Research Methodology

Research Methodology

Research methodology is a scientific way to solve research problem. It may be understood as a

science of studying how research is doing scientifically. In it we study various steps that are

generaly adopted by researchers in studying their research problem.

Research design

Plan for a study that is used as a guide in collecting and analyzing of data. Research design

mainly following types

1. Exploratory research

2. Descriptive research

3. Experimental research

1. Exploratory research

It is preliminary study of an unfamiliar problem about which the researcher has title or no

knowledge. it is similar to a doctor’s initial investigation of patient suffering from and

unfamiliar melody for getting some clues for identifying it.

2. Descriptive research

Descriptive research is a fact-finding investigation with adequate interpretation. It is simplest

type of research. It is more specific than an exploratory study as it has focus on particular

aspects or dimensions of problem studied. It is designed to gather descriptive information

provides information for formulating more sophisticated studies.

3. Experimental research

There are various phenomena such as motivation, productivity, development and operational

efficiency which is influenced by various variable on a phenomenon. This need has given

rise to experimental research.

Note-

I have use the descriptive study in this research.

Sampling Techniques Or Methods

Sampling techniques of method is classified into two types

1. Probability sampling

2. Non-probability sampling

1- Probability sampling

The probability sampling is the based on the theory of probability. It is also known as

random sampling. It provide known non-zero chance of selection for each population it

element. In the probability sampling every population has equal chance of being selected.

2- Non-probability sampling

It is not based on the theory of probability it is also called non random sampling. This

sampling does not provide a chance of selection of each population element the only merits

of this type of sampling are simplicity, convenience and low cost.

Note-

We adopt the probability sampling techniques in this research

Data Collection Techniques

1. Primary data

2. Secondary data

1. Primary Data

Primary data are directly collected by the researcher from their original sources. In this case,

researcher can collect the required data precisely according to the research needs, he can collect

them when he wants them and in the form of he needs them. But collection of primary data is

costly and time consuming. There are various sources of primary data observation, interviewing,

mail survey, experimentation etc.

2. Secondary Data

Secondary data are those data which have been already collected and analysed by some earlier

agency for its own use, and later the same data and are used by a different agency. Its sources are

may be classified as internal source and external source.

Note-

I have use the primary data in our survey.
