INTRODUCTION
The word marketing is derived from the word market. Marketing is a
comprehensive term and it includes all resources and a set of activities necessary to
direct and facilitate the flow of goods and services from producer to consumer in the
process of distribution. According to Philip Kotler, Marketing is a social and
managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want
through creating and exchanging products and value with others. Selling and
Marketing both are different. The difference between selling and marketing is more
than a semantic exercise. Selling focuses on the needs of the seller, but marketing
focuses on the needs of purchaser. Selling means moving products while marketing
means obtaining customers. Marketing benefits both society and the firm and its
importance to each has been growing rapidly since 1950. The benefits to society
through marketing are like, increase employment opportunities, helps to increase
national income and raise the standard of living of the society and marketing generates
revenue to firms etc.
Marketing facilitates the exchange process and the development of

relationships by carefully examining the needs and wants of customers. Marketing mix
is the set of controllable tactical marketing tools Product, Price, Place and
Promotion, that the firm blends to produce the response it wants in the target market.
Marketing mix consists of everything the firm can do to influence the demand for its
product. Elements of marketing mix: ( by Jerome Mc Carthy ) The four basic
elements viz. product, price, place and the promotion constitute the marketing mix.
These four elements called 4Ps are used for grouping different marketing activities
under these heads.

1.1 Need for the study
This particular topic was chosen because every organization required

advertising and sales and advertising s and other promotional activities like publicity,
public relations and personal selling etc. to promote their products and services. In this
promotional mix, Advertising and sales and advertising s have been playing a vital
role in todays market. So it is important to know how far these promotional activities
are creating brand awareness in the minds of the customer and influencing them to go
for the products and services and also the need to increase the quality, creativity and
utilization of technology in the advertisements and sales and advertising.
In twin cities Sri Jayalakshmi Automotive Pvt.Ltd is one of the best Hyundai
dealers among any other Hyundai dealers. It is offering different types of consumer
promotions to the ultimate consumers to make an immediate purchase and to stimulate
short term sales. In recent years it has been offering some consumer promotions like,
Free accessories, Less rates of interests, Festival offers (gold coins and special
gifts), Road shows, Exchange offers, Loyalty bonus offer, Price off offers etc. Apart
from these consumers oriented sales and advertising s Sri Jayalakshmi Automotives
Pvt.Ltd was recently implemented one offer called Price off offer in December 2007
on Hyundai SANTRO model.
In this offer they offered to consumers Rs.37, 000 price off on every
SANTRO model purchase. The SANTROs actual price was around Rs. 4.16 lakhs,
but in this offer they were offered SANTRO car for Rs. 3.79 lakhs only to consumers.
So this Price off offer in Hyundai car has been chosen as a topic to study. By
collecting suggestions from the Hyundai customers, those suggestions and opinions
would help to the dealer to improve its quality in its products and services as well as to
increase its sales.

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Topic Overview:
The word marketing is derived from the word market. Marketing is a

comprehensive term and it includes all resources and a set of activities necessary to
direct and facilitate the flow of goods and services from producer to consumer in the
process of distribution. According to Philip Kotler, Marketing is a social and
managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want
through creating and exchanging products and value with others. Selling and
Marketing both are different. The difference between selling and marketing is more
than a semantic exercise. Selling focuses on the needs of the seller, but marketing
focuses on the needs of purchaser. Selling means moving products while marketing
means obtaining customers. Marketing benefits both society and the firm and its
importance to each has been growing rapidly since 1950. The benefits to society
through marketing are like, increase employment opportunities, helps to increase
national income and raise the standard of living of the society and marketing generates
revenue to firms etc.
Marketing facilitates the exchange process and the development of

relationships by carefully examining the needs and wants of customers. Marketing mix
is the set of controllable tactical marketing tools Product, Price, Place and
Promotion, that the firm blends to produce the response it wants in the target market.
Marketing mix consists of everything the firm can do to influence the demand for its
product. Elements of marketing mix: ( by Jerome Mc Carthy ) The four basic
elements viz. product, price, place and the promotion constitute the marketing mix.
These four elements called 4Ps are used for grouping different marketing activities
under these heads.
1. Product : Product means anything that can be offered to a market for

attention, acquisition, use or consumption that might satisfy a want or need.
It includes physical objects, services, persons, places, organizations and
ideas.
2. Price : Price is the amount of money the customer pays to obtain the
product.
8
3. Place : Place includes company activities that make the product available
to the target consumer i.e. delivery / distribution of product.
4. Promotion : Promotion has been defined as the coordination of all seller
initiated efforts to set up channels of information and persuasion in order to
sell goods and services or promote an idea.
While implicit communication occurs through the various elements of the
marketing mix, most of an organizations communication with the market place take
place as part of a carefully planned and controlled promotional program. The basic
tools used to accomplish an organizations communication objectives are often
referred to as the Promotional mix.
Traditionally the 'Promotional mix has included four elements :
1. Advertising
2. Publicity/Public relations
3. Personal selling.
4. Sales and advertising
Each element of the promotional mix is viewed as an integrated marketing

communications tool that plays a distinctive role in an Integrated Marketing
Communication program. Each may take on a variety of forms and each has certain
advantages
Advertising:
Advertising is defined as any paid form of nonpersonal communication about

an organization, product, service, or idea by an identified sponsor. The paid aspect of
this definition reflects the fact that the space or time for an advertising message
generally must be bought. Advertising is the best- known and most widely discussed
form of promotion, probably because of its pervasiveness. It is also a very important
promotional tool, particularly for companies whose products and services are targeted
at mass consumer markets.
9
Publicity / public relations:
Another important component of an organizations promotional mix is

publicity / public relations. Publicity refers to nonpersonal communications
regarding an organization, product, service, or idea not directly paid for or run under
identified sponsorship. It usually comes in the form of a news, story, editorial, or
announcement about an organization and/or its products and services. Like
Advertising, Publicity involves nonpersonal communication to a mass audience, but
unlike advertising, publicity is not directly paid form by the company.
Public relations is defined as the management function which evaluates

public attitudes, identifies the policies and procedures of an individual or organization
with the public interest, and executes a program of action to earn public understanding
and acceptance. Public relations generally have a broader objective than publicity, as
its purpose is to establish and maintain a positive image of the company among its
various publics. Public relations uses publicity and a variety of other toolsincluding
special publications, participation in community activities, fund raising, sponsorship
of special events, and various public affairs activitiesto enhance an organizations
image.
Personal selling:
Another important component of a promotional mix is Personal selling, a

form of person-to-person communication in which a seller attempts to assist and/or
persuade prospective buyers to purchase the companys product or service or to act on
an idea. Unlike advertising, personal selling involves direct contact between buyer and
seller, either face-to-face or through some form of telecommunications such as
telephone sales. Personal selling also involves more immediate and precise feedback.
Sales and advertising :
In the promotional mix sales and advertising , has been defined as a direct
inducement that offers an extra value or incentive to the sales force, the distributors, or
10
the ultimate consumer with the primary objective of creating an immediate sales.
Sales and advertising is generally broken into two major categories:
1. Consumer oriented sales and advertising s
2. Trade oriented sales and advertising s
Types of sales and advertising s:
11
12
Consumer oriented promotions:
Consumer oriented sales and advertising is targeted to the ultimate consumer

of a product or service and includes couponing, sampling, premiums, rebates, contests,
sweepstakes, and various point of purchase materials. These promotional tools
encourage consumers to make an immediate purchase and thus can stimulate short
term sales. These are designed to offer consumers an incentive to try a brand for the
first time, to switch back to it, or to repurchase. Consumer-oriented promotions are
part of a promotional pull strategy; they work along with advertising to encourage
consumers to purchase a particular brand and thus create demand for it. Consumer
promotions are also used by retailers to encourage consumers to shop in their
particular stores. Many grocery stores use their own coupons or sponsor contests and
other promotions to increase store patronage.
1. Sampling: sampling involves a variety of procedures where by consumers are

given some quantity of a product for no charge to induce trial. Sampling is
generally considered the most effective way to generate trial, although it is also
the most expensive. As a sales and advertising technique, sampling is often used
to introduce a new product or brand to the market. Samples are different types
like door-to-door sampling, sampling through the mail, in-store sampling, on
package sampling, event sampling etc.
2. Coupons: This is a certificate that gives buyers a saving when they purchase a
specific
product. Coupons can be useful promotional devices for established products.
They can encourage nonusers to try a brand, encourage repeat purchase among
current users, and get users to try a new, improved version of brand.
3. Premium: Premiums are a sales and advertising device used by many

marketers. A premium is an offer of an item of merchandise or service either
free or at a low price that is an extra incentive for purchasers. The two basic types
of offers are the free premium and the self-liquidating premium.
4. Contests and sweepstakes: contests and sweepstakes are an increasingly popular
consumer-oriented promotion. A contest is a promotion where consumers
13
compete for prizes or money on the basis of skills or ability. The company
determines winners by judging the entries or ascertaining which entry comes
closest to some predetermined criteria. A sweepstakes is a promotion where
winners are determined purely by chance:
It cannot require a proof of purchase as a condition for entry. Entrants need only
submit their names for the prize drawing.
5. Refunds and rebates: Refunds are offers by the manufacturer to return a portion
of the product purchase price, usually after the consumer supplies some proof of
purchase. Consumers are generally very responsive to rebate offers, particularly
as the size of the savings increases. Rebates are used by makers of all types of
products, ranging from packaged goods to major appliances, cars, and computer
software.
6. Bonus packs: Bonus packs offer the consumer an extra amount of a product at
the regular price by providing larger containers or extra units. Bonus packs result
in a lower cost per unit for the consumer and provide extra value as well as more
products for the money.
7. Price-off deals: Another consumer-oriented promotion technique is the direct
price-off deal, which reduces the price of the brand. Price off reductions are
typically offered right on the package through specially marked price packs.
Typically, price-offs range from 10 to 25 percent off the regular price, with the
reduction coming out of the manufacturers profit margin, not the retailers.
8. Frequency programs: One of the fastest-growing areas of sales and advertising
is the use of frequency programs also referred to as continuity or loyalty
programs. Loyalty programs that offers members discounts, a chance to
accumulate points that can be also redeemed for rewards, newsletters, and other
special services.
9. Event marketing: event marketing is a type of promotion where a company or
brand is linked to an event or where a themed activity is developed for the
purpose of creating experiences for consumers and promoting a product or
service. Marketers often do event marketing by associating their product with
some popular activity such as a sporting event, concert, fair, or festival
14
Trade oriented sales and advertising:
Trade oriented sales and advertising is targeted toward marketing

intermediaries such as wholesalers, retailers, distributors. Promotional and
merchandising allowances, price deals, sales contests, and trade shows are some of the
promotional tools used to encourage the trade to stock and promote a companys
products.
1. Contests and dealer incentives: These are usually targeted to sales personnel at
the wholesale or retail level. The producer provides incentives such as prizes for
travel or expensive goods like televisions, computers and cars.
2. Trade allowances: This promotion offers channel partners price breaks for
agreeing to stock the product. In most cases the allowance is not only given as
encouragement to purchase the product but also as an inducement to promote the
product in other ways such as by offering attractive shelf space or store location,
highlighting the product in company-produced advertising or website display, or
by agreeing to have the retailers sales personnel talk-up the product to
customers.
3. Point-of-purchase displays: Point of purchase (POP) displays are specially

designed materials intended for placement in retail stores. These displays allow
products to be prominently presented, often in high traffic areas, and thereby
increase the probability the product will standout. POP displays come in many
styles, though the most popular are ones allowing a product to stand alone, such as
in the middle of a store aisle or sit at the end of an aisle (i.e., end-cap) where it will
be exposed to heavy customer traffic.
4. Training programs: Manufacturers provide sales training for a retailer's sales

personnel. This can mean providing classes (including an instructor), or providing
training materials
15
5. Trade shows: One final type of trade promotion is the industry trade show (a.k.a.
exhibitions, conventions). Trade shows are organized events that bring both
industry buyers and sellers together in one central location. Spending on trade
shows is one of the highest of all sales and advertising s.
6. Cooperative advertising: A system by which ad costs are divided between two or

more parties. Usually, such programs are offered by manufacturers to their
wholesalers or retailers, as a means of encouraging those parties to advertise the
product.
Along with the above promotional tools Direct marketing and Internet/interactive
marketing also can be useful for promoting a product.
This project study was based on consumers oriented sales and advertising s. This
study is to identify how far these consumer sales and advertising al activities are
creating brand awareness in the minds of the customer and influencing them to go for
the products in order to increase the sales of Hyundai cars.
In twin cities Sri Jayalakshmi Automotive Pvt.Ltd is one of the best Hyundai
dealers among any other Hyundai dealers. It is offering different types of consumer
1. Free accessories.
2. Less rates of interests.

2.2 Industry Profile

Over a period of more than two decades the Indian Automobile industry has been
driving its own growth through phases. The entry of Suzuki Corporation in Indian
passenger car manufacturing is often pointed as the first sign of India turning to a
market economy. Since then the automobile sector witnessed rapid growth year after
year
With comparatively higher rate of economic growth rate index against that of great
global powers, India has become a hub of domestic and exports business. The
automobile sector has been contributing its share to the shining economic performance
of India in the recent years
With the Indian middle class earning higher per capita income, more people are ready
to own private vehicles including cars and two-wheelers. Product movements and
manned services have boosted in the sales of medium and sized commercial vehicles
for passenger and goods transport. Side by side with fresh vehicle sales growth, the
automotive components sector has witnessed big growth. The domestic auto
components consumption has crossed rupees 9000 crores and an export of one half
size of this figure.
Overview of automobile industry
The Indian automobile industry is going through a technological change where

each firm is engaged in changing its processes and technologies to sustain the
competitive advantage and provide customers with the optimized products and
services. Starting from the two wheelers, trucks, and tractors to the multi utility
vehicles, commercial vehicles and the luxury vehicles, the Indian automobile industry
has achieved tremendous amount of success in the recent years.

Hyundai Motor Company
The Hyundai Motor Company, a division of the Hyundai Kia Automotive

Group, is South Koreas largest and the worlds fifth largest Automaker in terms of
units sold per year. Its headquarters are in Seoul, South Korea. In Ulsan, South Korea,
Hyundai operates the worlds largest integrated automobile manufacturing facility,
which is capable of producing 1.6 million units annually. The Hyundai logo, a slanted,
stylized 'H,' is said to be symbolic of two people (the company and customer) shaking
hands. Hyundai means "modernity" in Korean.
History
Chung Ju-Yung founded the Hyundai Engineering and Construction Company

in 1947. Hyundai Motor Company was later established in 1967. The companys first
model, the Cortina, was released in cooperation with Ford Motor Company in 1968. In
1975, the Pony, the first Korean car, was released, with styling by Giorgio Giugiaro of
ItalDesign and powertrain technology provided by Japans Mitsubishi Motors. Exports
began in the following year to Ecuador and soon thereafter to the Benelux countries.
In 1991, the company succeeded in developing its first proprietary gasoline engine, the
four-cylinder Alpha, and transmission, thus paving the way for technological
independence.
In 1986, Hyundai began to sell cars in the United States, and the Excel was
nominated "Best Product #10" by Fortune magazine, largely because of its
affordability. The company began to produce models with its own technology in 1988,
beginning with the midsize Sonata.
In 1998, Hyundai began to overhaul its image in an attempt to establish itself

as a world-class brand. Chung Ju Yung transferred leadership of Hyundai Motor to his
son, Chung Mong Koo, in 1999. [2] Hyundais parent company, Hyundai Motor
Group, invested heavily in the quality, design, manufacturing, and long-term research
of its vehicles. It added a 10-year or 100,000-mile (160,000 km) warranty to cars sold
in the United States and launched an aggressive marketing campaign.
18
In 2004, Hyundai was ranked second in "initial quality" in a survey/study by
J.D. Power and Associates. Hyundai is now one of the top 100 most valuable brands
worldwide. Since 2002, Hyundai has also been one of the worldwide official sponsors
of the FIFA World Cup.
In 2006, the South Korean government initiated an investigation of Chung

Mong Koos practices as head of Hyundai, suspecting him of corruption. On April 28,
2006, Chung was arrested, and charged for embezzlement of 100 billion won (US$106
million), [3] with Hyundai Vice Chairman and CEO, Kim Dong-jin taking over as
head of the company.
History of Hyundai (1967- Present)
Compared to venerable US automotive companies like Ford or even Japanese

companies like Toyota, Hyundai Motor Company's history is relatively short. The
company has come a long way since it was established in 1967!
The 70S: The early years
Hyundai Motor Company was established in December 1967. The young

automaker turned to Ford of the UK as its first partner to provide the requisite
technology for cars and light trucks. This was a fruitful collaboration that led to
enduring ties between the Korea and British auto industries. However, by the early
1970s, Hyundai management had made the critically important decision not to rely
exclusively on foreign model licensing agreements but to simultaneously pursue the
developments of its own proprietary passenger car. With styling input from Giorgio
Giugiaro's ItalDesign and manufacturing know-how from Japan and the UK, Hyundai
was able to put into production its first model, the Pony. The sub-compact was an
immediate success in the domestic market and vaulted Hyundai into first place where
it has remained unchallenged for over two decades. Export markets were tested during
the latter 1970s and provided the company with early invaluable experience.
19
The 80s: The boom decade
In the early 1980s, the company made another decision. Fueled by the
momentum of rapid economic growth and supported by the efforts of dedicated,
highly educated workforce, Hyundai invested in a major expansion of its Ulsan plant,
making a major transition from low volume to high volume manufacturing. Hyundai
was looking beyond the national border for future growth: The capacity would be
divided between local market demand and serving export markets. By the mid 1980s,
Hyundai had secured a solid beachhead in Canada and was ready to tackle the ultimate
marketing challenge, the US market.
The 90s: The pursuit of technical innovation and higher quality
The 1990s saw a blossoming of Hyundai's decade-long commitment to

developing its own technology. In 1991, the company unveiled its first in-house
designed power plant, the Alpha engine. Two years later, the Beta engine was
unveiled. On the international rally circuit, the Hyundai Elantra claimed the Asia
Pacific Rally Championship in its class in the 1994 and 1995 seasons, giving the
company an encouraging start in professional motor sports. Hyundai Motor Company
endured a difficult year in 1998, as domestic sales sharply declined. However, a
succession of new models, starting with the EF Sonata and XG have earned Hyundai
the highest accolades in the international automotive press and sustained exports
combined with favorable export conditions have partially offset loss experienced in
the domestic market. It was also a period of company wise and industry-wide
restructuring
. 2000 -2003: Expansion, accolades and new found respect
The new millennium ushered in an exciting time for Hyundai. A new

partnership with DaimlerChrysler bodes well for the future. Quality new models like
the Santa Fe, 2001 up Elantra and 2003 Tiburon coupe garnered praise worldwide.
Hyundai will soon open it's first manufacturing plant in the US and established a new
high tech development center in California. The future is bright, indeed.

Chi-square test procedure:
Steps involved in chi-square test:
1. Setting of the hypothesis.

Ho : There is no relationship between the two variables.
Ha : there is a relationship between the two variables.
2. Setting of level of significance.

The level of significance assumed as 5%..
3. Calculation of the expected frequency for each of the observed frequency.

Expected frequency = Row total * Column total
37
No. of observations
Example: = 30 * 36
100
= 10.80
4. Calculation of chi-square value

2 = (O-E) 2
O = Observed frequency.
E = Expected frequency
5. Finding out the degree of freedom.

Degree of freedom = (c-1) (r-1)
c = No. of columns.
r = No. of rows.
Degree of freedom = (c-1) (r-1)
= (5-1) (5-1)
=4*4 = 16.
6. Drawing inference.
38
Find out the table value of chi-square and degree of freedom. If the calculated
value of chi-square < the table value of chi-square, the null hypothesis is accepted. i.e.,
there is no significant difference between the two samples.
