CHI-SQUARE TESTS
CONSUMPTION PERIOD * OVERALL SATISFACTION
Value df Asymp. Sig. (2-sided)
Pearson Chi-Square 9.261a 12 .680
Likelihood Ratio 10.521 12 .570
a. 12 cells (60.0%) have expected count less than 5. The minimum expected count is .28.
Asymptotic significant value is above 0.05. Thus we conclude that consumption period of Ponlait milk by-products is independent of overall satisfaction level of customer towards Ponlait milk by-products.
SUGGESTIONS Many respondents not aware of Ponlait Badham Powder. So
display boards should keep in front of Ponlait Palours.
Providing 500gm curd packet may influence more people to buy Ponlait Curd.
Reducing the melting time of Kulfi and some other ice cream verities will increase the satisfaction level of customer.
Due to lack of availability many customers not aware of all verities of Ponlait ice cream. By displaying ice cream verities list and by make all Ponlait ice cream verities available in all milk Parlours Ponlait can overcome this issue.
CONT.,
By increasing Parlour size and keeping Parlour environment clean Ponlait can increase the satisfaction level of its customers.
Only 15% of respondents buying all categories of Ponlait milk by-products. Providing discounts and other offers will increase the percentage of respondents buying all categories of Ponlait milk by-products.
By improving package Ponlait can eliminate leakages/damages in Ponlait milk by-products.
Many respondents not satisfied with the price of Ponlait milk by-product so Ponlait has to reduce the price up to some extent.
CONCLUSION
The study about the customer satisfaction will really have an
impact towards identifying the areas in which the management should be
concentrated. From the overall study on the level of customer satisfaction
with respect to Ponlait, it is understood that many of the customers are
expecting a reduction in price and improvement in package. Most of the
customers are satisfied with the quality and freshness of the products. To
improve the sales, effective advertisement should be use.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Some of the Respondents are not co-operative to fill the answer for the question.
Many of the respondents are answering the questions with bias.
Time constrain was one of the major limitation of the study.
