PREFACE
It gives me intent pleasure to present this report. This research project has been carried out in the partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Business Administration degree course of the H.N.S.B. College of Management Studies of Hamchandracharya North Gujarat University Patan. During the research project, I availed an opportunity to understand the marketing of furniture product with special reference to laminate sheets. It was a fruitful experience. The world today is evincing a fast change in the international marketing process. The global companies are projecting their all out efforts to capture as much share of the market as possible in such situation, India with his meager resources both from the capital point of view and resource generation has to exert more on building its image in various products.

So company should target this income group for achieving high market share of the company.

Limitations
Limited sample size that is 50 Research done from only Sabar Kantha area in Himmatnagar Khedbrahma, Bliloda

I was convinced only those people who are already know

the

brand so rest of the people who do not the brand

The research was at this area where people do not know very well furniture & laminates.

Touch Laminates

Findings
Total Laminates Market Company covers 50% of market

Company should target high income group people Income of the customer increase and usage of the laminate also increase but noted point is usage of brand or companies product decreases Company should adopt sales promotion scheme Company should advertising
