Recommendations On the basis of results of the study, the following recommendations are made: 1. Awareness Creating awareness about the availability of the products is more important for consumers to make preference. The study reveals that the consumer awareness is low for some brands or models and hence it is recommended to the manufacturers of home appliances to take steps to create more awareness about their products. 217
15 2. Quality The study reveals that among other factors, quality is the major factor that has influenced the consumers in the purchase of home appliances. Thus, it is important that apart from brand name, price, availability of products, quality aspect need to be given priority. Hence, the manufacturers shall always focus on quality aspect and not to make a compromise on quality for want of more sales or profit. 3. Family Influence It is understood from the study that the decision of purchase of consumers is highly influenced by their family members. This sort of influence will always resort to change the preference of consumers. Hence, the manufacturers have to adopt promotional activities not only to persuade the consumers but also the individual family members who may belong to different age group. 4. Customer Satisfaction Customer Satisfaction is the prime output that is expected by the manufacturers and retailers in marketing of their products. The study revealed that the customers are satisfied with general performance of home appliances. However, it is necessary to know their satisfaction levels towards other aspects like after sales service, etc.,. Hence, manufacturers shall try to have the customer views on the above aspects and ensure satisfaction for the same. 5. Power consumption It is reported in the study that the power consumption is more in using home appliances. In view of high power tariff, the customers will be badly affected and as a result, it will appear as serious drawback. Hence, it 218
16 is suggested to the manufacturers to use appropriate technology so that this drawback can be rectified in manufacturing home appliances. 6. Demand increase The study reveals that more quantity of home appliances are demanded during festivals and special occasions. Also, the consumers prefer to go for replacement during the above season. Hence, it is suggested the manufacturers of home appliances to go for production of additional quantity. Also, they are expected to introduce more models with better innovations. 7. Price variations It is also observed in the study that there is a large variation in the price levels of home appliances between different brands. Though the price is determined by various factors like quality, superiority of materials used, etc., the consumers are not getting convinced with the variation. Hence, an attempt is to be made by the manufacturers to avoid price variations in general and have variations in specific cases if inevitable. 8. Feed back For marketing of any products, the continuous follow up of customers is required. This will help the manufacturers to have a long term relationship with the customers by bringing the required changes in the product as preferred by them. For this purpose, manufacturers of home appliances need to introduce the feed back system. 9. Motivation of retailers In the marketing of home appliances, retailers play crucial role as they contact, communicate and convince the consumers. In fact, popularizing the brand name is generally executed by the retailers. The 219
17 consumers get details about the products more from the retailers than other sources. This being the case, the manufacturers should ensure that retailers do not have complaints nor grievances that may affect the marketing of home appliances. A periodical meeting of retailers may be organized so that this will help addressing their grievances better. Conclusion Before going for purchase, the customer generally have oral consultation with their friends and relatives but decide about buying the required products with the help of experts.the manufacturers have to produce home appliances to suit the both low and high income groups of customers. The manufacturers should have technological tie-up and venture for improving qualitative appliances that will attract multi-range consumers to serve their purpose. Also the manufacturers should advice the retailers/dealers to give correct and relevant information about the genuineness of the dealership and brand to buyers before they make purchase. Exhibitions and exchange melas may be conducted more often and at a regular intervals to satisfy the old customers and to attract new customers. To ensure that the product finds a place in the minds of the consumers, the manufacturers should promote their product through sales promotional activities such as advertisement, free gifts and other schemes. If they do so, sales level will improve and the products will find a better place in the market. A company might adopt some price reduction strategy to maintain its position in the market and to satisfy the customers. Special offers for home appliances may also be provided to attract customers to buy them. Popularization for advocating the purchase of refrigerator, microwave oven, washing machine, etc., may be done to minimize the laborious work of women. This facilitates them to concentrate on other important activities. Consumer education is the most important thing and all concerned should give enough thought and action on it. This will also help the marketing of home appliances to a larger part of customers. 220
