* *Anchor Roma is giving a good quality product & also Roma is

competing with other players.

*We also find some duplication problems in product. *There is a huge demand in the market for Roma; hence the
retailers & wholesalers are not satisfied with the supplies of product.

*There is a scope of creating artificial demand of a product. *Dealers suggesting to facilitate the replacement service for
modular switchs also.

SUGGESTIONS: Majority dealers and retailers suggested that the quality of Roma is good; there is a scope up gradation of technology. Anchor very much lacking behind supplies, due to this dealers are not able to get the product in time Dealers suggested having similar kind of discount offers for all. Need to concentrate on promotional activities Marketing executives should have regular contacts with dealers and retailers.

CONCLUSION:
From the above marketing study conducted on modular switchs have a wide scope of growth in market. Even though Anchor is holding 60 percent share in the global market. Anchor is the one of the leading company. Their market area is vast so demand of the product is also high. Anchors strength is there goodwill, even people also believe the brand hence they less focus on promotional activities. Due to shortage of product customers and dealers are shifting to other company product. If the same scenario continues Anchor may loose there market and the competitor may have better edge than Anchor. Due to this reason only Havels & Legrand are equally competing with Anchor. As par the quality, market sales& pricing Anchor Roma is one of the best product and giving good competition, the maximum sales is of Roma itself. But when I approached the out lets some dealers & retailers felt the service of Anchor is not satisfied they even says that after the takeover of Panasonic the management function is not up to the expectations.
