Preface

Management today is must for day-to-day life. Management is the integral part of the business.

In this world, all things need proper management for its success. Business without proper

management is like a castle of sand built on seashore. Even individuals need proper

management for running their life smoothly. Only theoretical knowledge is not enough in MBA

along with one needs some practical exposure in the corporate world also. MBA provides this

opportunity through the medium of summer training. This training has made one thing clear

that there are two pillars for getting success in business i.e. efficiency and effectiveness; it

means not only doing right things but also doing things rightly.

In MBA, Theory of any subject is important but without its practical knowledge it becomes

useless particularly for the Management Students. As a student of the Business Administration,

we have studied many theories and concepts in the classroom, but only after taking up this

project work we have experienced & understood these Management theories & practices in its

fullest sense, which plays a very vital role in business field today.

INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC

1
Introduction

The automobile industry is highly competitive, and the success of car manufacturers relies

heavily on their ability to influence potential buyers through effective advertising and sales

strategies. These strategies play a crucial role in shaping consumer perceptions, preferences,

and ultimately, purchase decisions.

Advertisement Influence:

1. Brand Image and Recognition: Advertisements contribute significantly to building a

brand image. Consistent messaging and visual elements help create brand recognition,

making consumers more likely to consider a particular brand when purchasing a car.

2. Emotional Appeal: Many car advertisements focus on creating an emotional connection

with the audience. Whether it's portraying a sense of adventure, safety, or family bonding,

emotional appeal can greatly impact consumer decision-making.

3. Feature Highlighting: Advertisements showcase the features and specifications of a car

model. Highlighting innovative technologies, safety features, and performance capabilities

can sway consumers who are looking for specific attributes in a vehicle.

4. Social Media Influence: With the rise of social media, car manufacturers utilize platforms

like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to reach a wider audience. Social media presence

allows for interactive engagement and real-time updates, influencing consumer opinions.

2
Sales Influence:

1. Dealership Experience: The in-person experience at a dealership significantly

influences car buyers. A welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable sales representatives, and

test drive opportunities contribute to a positive impression and can sway the final decision.

2. Promotions and Discounts: Sales events, promotions, and discounts can create a sense

of urgency and encourage buyers to make a decision. Limited-time offers often drive

potential customers to take advantage of favorable pricing.

3. Financing Options: Flexible financing options and low-interest rates can make a

significant difference for buyers. Clear communication of financing terms and options helps

ease financial concerns, making the purchase more appealing.

4. After-Sales Services: The quality of after-sales services, including maintenance,

warranty, and customer support, contributes to long-term customer satisfaction. A positive

post-purchase experience can lead to brand loyalty and positive word-of-mouth.

Consumer Decision-Making Process:

Understanding the stages of the consumer decision-making process is essential for car

manufacturers and dealerships. This process typically involves problem recognition,

information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post-purchase

behavior.

Hyundai Group was a multinational chaebol headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. It was

founded by Chung Ju-yung in 1947 as a construction firm and Chung was directly in control

of the company until his death in 2001.

Following the 1997 East Asian financial crisis and Chung's death, Hyundai underwent a

major restructuring and break-up, which reduced the Hyundai Group's business to encompass

only container shipping services, the manufacturing of elevators, and tourism. Today, most

companies bearing the name Hyundai are not legally connected to Hyundai Group. They

include Hyundai Motor Group, Hyundai Department Store Group, Hyundai Heavy

Industries Group and Hyundai Development Company. However, most of the former

subsidiaries of the Hyundai conglomerate continue to be run by relatives of Chung. If these

companies were considered as forming a single broad family business, then it would remain

the largest company in South Korea with enormous economic and political power in the

country.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) incentives such as bonus points or money

off coupons. There are many examples of CRM, from banks to supermarkets.

New media - Websites and mobile phones that support a sales promotion. For example, in

the United Kingdom, Nestle printed individual codes on KIT-KAT packaging, whereby a

consumer would enter the code into a dynamic website to see if they had won a prize.

Consumers could also text codes via their mobile phones to the same effect.

Merchandising additions such as dump bins,point-of-sale materials and product

demonstrations.

4
Free gifts e.g. Subway gave away a card with six spaces for stickers with each sandwich

purchase. Once the card was full the consumer was given a free sandwich.

Discounted prices e.g. Budget airline such as Easy Jet and Ryanair, e-mailtheir customers

with the latest low-price deals once new flights are released, or additional destinations are

announced.

Vouchers and coupons, often seen in newspapers and magazines, onpacks.

Competitions and prize draws, in newspapers, magazines, on the TVand radio, on The

Internet, and on packs.

Cause-related and fair-trade products that raise money for charities,and the less well off

farmers and producers, are becoming more popular.

Finance deals - for example, 0% finance over 3 years on selectedvehicles.Many of the

examples above are focused upon consumers. Don't forget that promotions can be aimed at

wholesalers and distributors as well. These are known as Trade Sales Promotions.

10 STEP DEALERSHIP SALES PROCESS

It provides a clear description of each step of the sales process and explains how to sell a

vehicle based on the value of its features and benefits rather then on the overall price of the

vehicle. It also provides helpful ideas for improving the productivity and volume potential.

Sales process.

Hyundai typically uses a 10-step Showroom Experience Sales process.

Two more steps are there i.e. prospecting (before greeting) and follow up (after exit interview).

the Asian financial crisis, Hyundai acquired rival Kia Motors.

In 2000, the company established a strategic alliance with DaimlerChrysler and severed its

partnership with the Hyundai Group.

In 2001, the Daimler-Hyundai Truck Corporation was formed.

Hyundai entered the United States market in 1986 with a single model, the Hyundai Excel. The

Excel was offered in a variety of trims and body styles. That year, Hyundai set a record of selling

the most automobiles in its first year of business in the United States compared to any other car

brand (c. 126,000 vehicles).

Initially well received, the Excel’s faults soon became apparent; cost-cutting measures caused

reliability to suffer. With an increasingly poor reputation for quality, Hyundai sales plummeted,

and many dealerships either earned their profits on repairs or abandoned the product. At one

point, Hyundai became the butt of many jokes (i.e. Hyundai stands for "Hope you understand

nothing's drivable and inexpensive") and even made David Letterman's Top Ten Hilarious

Mischief Night Pranks To Play In Space: #8 - Paste a "Hyundai" logo on the main control panel.

31
In response, the parent company of Hyundai began investing 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) powertrain warranty (known as the Hyundai challenge) to its vehicles sold in the

United States. By 2004, sales had dramatically increased, and the reputation of Hyundai cars

improved. In 2004, Hyundai tied with Honda for initial brand quality in a survey/study from

J.D. Power and Associates, for having 102 problems per 100 vehicles. This made Hyundai

second in the industry, only behind Toyota, for initial vehicle quality. The company continued

this tradition by placing third overall in J.D. Power’s 2006 Initial Quality Survey, behind only

Porsche and Lexus.

Hyundai continues to invest heavily in its American operations as its cars grow in popularity. In

1990, Hyundai established the Hyundai Design Centerin Fountain Valley, California. The center

moved to a new $30 million facility in Irvine, California in 2003, and was renamed the Hyundai

Kia Design and Technical Center. Besides the design studio, the facility also housed Hyundai

America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI, established in 1986), a subsidiary responsible for

all engineering activities in the U.S. for Hyundai. Hyundai America Technical Center moved to

its new 200,000- square-foot (19,000 m2), $117 million headquarters in Superior Township,

Michigan (near Ann Arbor) in 2005. Later that same year, HATCI announced that it would be

expanding its technical operations in Michigan and hiring 600 additional engineers and other

technical employees over a period of five years. The center also has employees in California

and Alabama.

Hyundai America Technical Center completed construction of its Hyundai/Kia proving ground

in California City, California in 2004. The 4,300-acre (17 km2) facility is located in the Mojave

Desert and features a 6.4-mile (10.3 km) oval track, a Vehicle Dynamics Area, a vehicle-

32
handling course inside the oval track, a paved hill road, and several special surface roads. A

30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) complex featuring offices and indoor testing areas is located on

the premises as well. The facility was built at a cost of $50 million. An aerial view can be found

here.

Hyundai completed an assembly plant just outside Montgomery, Alabama in2004, with a grand

opening on May 20, 2005, at a cost of $1.1 billion. At full capacity, the plant will employ 2,000

workers. Currently, the plant assembles the Hyundai Sonata and the Hyundai Santa Fe. It is

Hyundai’s second attempt at producing cars in North America, as the Hyundai Auto Canada

Inc. plant in Quebec closed down in 1993.

In 2003, According to Consumer Reports, Hyundai’s reliability rankings tied Honda’s.

In 2005, Hyundai allowed Ed Voyles Hyundai in Smyrna, Georgia to become the first "deaf

friendly" dealership in the entire world. The staff in this dealership are able to accommodate

deaf customers with the use of American Sign Language and video conferencing phones.

In 2006 JD Power and associates quality ranking, overall the Hyundai brand ranked 3rd, just

behind Porsche and Lexus, and beating long time rival Toyota.[12] The brand overall is ranked

much higher than the average industry and resale value continues to improve; a comparable

2003 Hyundai Sonata sedan ranks just $2200 below a similarly equipped Honda Accord,

according to Kelley Blue Book Pricing 2006.

In 2006, Hyundai’s minivan Entourage earned a five-star safety rating – the highest honor the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bestows – for all seating positions in frontal

and side-impact crashes. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also rates “Good” – its

highest rating – in front, side and rear impacts. The IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway

33
Safety, United States), in fact, named the 2006 Hyundai Entourage and Kia Sedona a “Gold Top

Safety Pick,” making the safest minivan ever tested.

In 2006, Hyundai was awarded 'Top-rated 2006 Ideal Vehicle' by Auto pacific, Marketing

research and consultancy firm for the automobile industry

In 2007 Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards, Hyundai Motors leads the most vehicle

segments in Strategic Vision’s Total Quality Index, measuring the ownership experience. They

attempt to measure more than just the number of problems per vehicle. Hyundai tops in

Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards. For the first time ever, Hyundai has risen to share the

position of having the most models leading a segment. three models with thetop Total Quality

Index (TQI) score in their segments, including the Hyundai Azera, Entourage, Santa Fe.

In 2007, Hyundai’s midsize SUV Santa Fe earns 2007 TOP SAFETY PICK award by IIHS.

In 2007 at the New York International Auto Show, Hyundai unveiled its V8 rear-drive luxury

sedan called Concept Genesis to be slotted above the Azerain the Hyundai line-up. This concept

will make its American debut in mid 2008.[21]

In 2007 at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, Hyundai unveiled its second rear-drive

concept car, this car, called Concept Genesis Coupe, will be Hyundai’s first sports car due to

make its debut in early 2009.

In 2008, Hyundai Santa Fe and Hyundai Elantra awarded 2008 Consumer Reports "top pick"

which was among the top 10 vehicles for 2008 unveiled in the magazine's issue. The magazine's

annual ratings, based on road tests and predicted safety and reliability are considered highly

influential among consumers. [23] and Hyundai Elantra earned Consumer Reports' 'excellent'

34
rating in predicted reliability. Hyundai Elantra is Consumer Reports top- ranked 2008 vehicle

amongst 19 other compacts and small family cars. Beating out such high-quality stalwarts as

the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Toyota Prius.

In 2008, at the North American International Auto Show, the production version of the luxury

& performance-oriented Hyundai Genesis sedan made its debut, dealerships will have the

Genesis as soon as Summer 2008.

In 2008, at the New York International Auto Show, Hyundai debuted it's production version of

the performance-oriented rear-drive Hyundai Genesis Coupe, slated to hit dealerships in early

2009.

2009, Hyundai has announced the five-door hatchback variant of the Elantra compact sedan will

carry the name Elantra Touring when it goes on sale in the spring as a 2009 model.[25]

Electric vehicles

Hyundai plans to begin producing hybrid electric vehicles in 2009. The Avante will be the first

vehicle to be produced.

Since 2004, Hyundai has supplied about 3,000 hybrid versions of its Getz and Accent small

cars to government fleets as part of a testing program. The automaker cites a lack of local tax

benefits for purchasing hybrids as a barrier to its hybrid development program. But Hyundai

expects the tax situation to change in 2009 [30].

The new hybrid electric Sonata will make its debut at the Los Angeles International Auto Show

in November 2008. Hyundai expects to release it inthe U.S. market in 2010, featuring lithium-

ion battery technology [31].

Environmental record

On April 23, 2008 Hyundai Motor announced the beginning of a five-year project to turn 50

km² of infertile land into grassland by 2012. Hyundai is doing so with the help of the Korean

Federation for Environmental Movement (KFEM). The project, named Hyundai Green Zone,

is located 660 km north of Beijing. The goal of the project is to end the recurring dust storms in

Beijing, block desertification and protect the local ecosystem.

Local weeds will be planted in the region that have the ability to endure sterile alkaline soil.

36
This is the first environmental project of the company’s social contribution program.

Hyundai Motor plans to aid Chevron Corporation in the construction of up to six hydrogen

fueling stations that will be located in California, including locations at the University of

California-Davis and the Hyundai America Technical Center in Chino. Hyundai is going to

provide a collection of 32 Tucson fuel cell vehicles, which are powered by UTC Fuel Cell power

plants.

Motorsport

Alister McRae driving an Accent WRC at the 2001 Rally Finland.

Hyundai entered motorsport by competing in the F2 class of the World RallyChampionship in

1998 and 1999. In September 1999, Hyundai unveiled the Accent WRC, a World Rally Car

based on the Hyundai Accent. The Hyundai World Rally Team debuted the car at the 2000

Swedish Rally and achieved their first top-ten result at that year's Rally Argentina, when Alister

37
McRae and Kenneth Eriksson finished seventh and eighth, respectively. Eriksson later drove

the car to fifth place in New Zealand and fourth inAustralia. In 2001, Hyundai debuted a

new evolution of the Accent WRC, which was intended to improve reliability, but the

performance of the car was still not good enough to challenge the four big teams (Ford,

Mitsubishi, Peugeot and Subaru). However, at the season-ending Rally GB, the team achieved

their best result with McRae finishing fourth and Eriksson sixth.

For the 2002 season, Hyundai hired the four-time world champion Juha Kankkunen, along with

Freddy Loix and Armin Schwarz. Kankkunen's fifth place in New Zealand was the team's best

result, but they managed to edge out Škoda and Mitsubishi by one point in the battle for fourth

place in the manufacturers' world championship. In September 2003, after a season hampered

by budget constraints, Hyundai announced withdrawal from the WRC and a plan to return in

2006.

Electric propulsion
Hyundai plans begin producing hybrid electric vehicles in 2009. They are going to use Hybrid

Blue Drive, that includes lithium polymer batteries, instead of lithium-ion.

The Avante will be the first vehicle to be produced.. Other are the Santa Fe Hybrid, the Elantra,

Sonata Hybrid (to the U.S. market in 2010) and the Hyundai i20 (this last, replaces the Getz)

Comparison Between Hyundai Eon and Maruti 800

The wraps are off the much-awaited entry-level small car from Hyundai India. The car, to be

called Eon, is the South Korean car maker's challenge to Maruti's Alto, the current bestseller

in the segment in India. It has enter the Indian roads between October 10 and 15, days ahead of

Diwali at a starting price of Rs 2.50 lakh to Rs 2.60 lakh.

Although Eon is positioned against Alto, the car promises a lot more than what the latter offers.

"There is no car that is comparable with Eon. Yes, it is an entry-level car but with no

compromise. It is a very spacious car with a large boot - something that you get only in bigger

cars. And most importantly it doesn't compromise on style," said Arvind Saxena, Hyundai India

sales & marketing director.

Eon sports the 'Fluidic' design characteristic of the restyled Verna that threw a serious challenge

to its rivals like Honda City and Volkswagen Vento after its makeover. Although the company

officials refused to divulge the price of the car other than saying that it would be "competitively

priced and finalised only closer to the launch in October", ET has learnt from its sources at two

44
Hyundai dealerships that the base version of the car is being priced between Rs 2.50 lakh and

Rs 2.60 lakh. The upper end of the car will cost less than the base variant of Hyundai's bigger

sibling i10. Rival Alto sells at Rs 2.32 lakh (base variant ex-showroom price Delhi).

Alto 800

While Alto may be the nearest rival to Eon, the company said the comparison is not really

oranges to oranges as Eon comes with a number of high-end features. With an 814 cc engine,

Eon promises a mileage of 21.1 km. Eon compares with Alto in length (3.5 meter), but is

wider andtaller by 75 mm and 40 mm, respectively.

Asked if it would not cannibalize its successful and only slightly higher priced Santro (Santro

base price is Rs 2.80 lakh in Delhi), Saxena said, "The Eon will expand our market share by

45
cannibalizing into our competitors products. Santro is positioned very differently from the

Eon. We have no plans of withdrawing the Santro when it is doing so well."

Eon appears to score over its rivals with features that one sees only in biggercars, like keyless

entry, driver air bags, front power windows, fog lamps, central locking, two-tone interiors. "Eon

is targeted at the first time buyer who is young, who has just started earning. It is also targeted

at the young family that is looking for its first car," Saxena told ET.

Hyundai said Eon was conceived, designed and produced exclusively for theIndian market. The

Eon project director YH Song said that the car, the smallest ever produced by the company, was

in the making for the past four years. The sporty design and the functional interiors of the final

product were the result of a series of interactions the company's global R&D officials have had

with National Institute of Design, Indian auto journalists, renowned Indian auto designer Dilip

Chhabria and a number of other designers. "The company's R&D centre at Hyderabad was

totally involved with the project, especially in developing important components for the car,"

Saxena said. Eon, however, will have to brace for competition from the country's largest car

maker Maruti when it launches its latest version of the earlier 800. But that would be at least a

year away.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Hyundai Motor India, India’s second largest car maker on Monday achieved significant

milestone when the cumulative exports of the car company crossed the 10 lakh mark.

HW Park, managing director & CEO, HMIL said, “Reaching the 10lakh export car landmark is

not only a significant milestone but also a matter of great pride for the Hyundai family as it

46
showcases the global success story that Hyundai as a brand enjoys.” He also flagged off the one

millionth car from the Chennai Port Trust in Chennai.

HMIL began exporting cars in 1999 when it shipped a batch of 20 Santro to Nepal and it reached

the first milestone of exporting 100,000 cars in four years and ten months in October, 2004. In

October, 2005 it exported its 200,000th car followed by its 300,000th car and 400,000th car in

October, 2006 and August, 2007 respectively. By exporting the 500,000th car in March, 2008,

HMIL had become the fastest Indian passenger car manufacturer to achieve this milestone. In a

little over a decade since Hyundai has been present in India it has become the leading exporter

of passenger cars with a market share of 66% of the total exports of passenger cars from India

making it a significant contributor to the Indian automobile industry.

The company has also started exporting cars to Australia and is the only manufacturer to do so

in such a short span of a decade presence.

Currently, Hyundai Motor India is exporting four of its popular models namely - Santro i10, i20

and Accent to 110 countries. In 2009, in spite of a global slowdown, Hyundai Motor India’s

exports grew by 10.7%. In 2010 Hyundai plans to add 10 new markets with Australia being the

latest entrant to the list. The first shipment to Australia is of 500 units of the i20 and the total

i20 export to Australia is expected to be in the region of 15,000 per annum.

In 2008, Hyundai witnessed the fastest exports of five lakh cars from India to various

destinations including UK, HMIL Vice-President (Sales and Marketing) Arvind Saxena said.

Terming it as a "significant milestone", State Industries Secretary Rajeev Ranjan said, “It is no

small achievement. This has been done in a record time". "In 2008, they have exported five lakh

cars but this year they have doubled it. It is a significant milestone” he said.

47
Lauding Hyundai's feat, Chennai Port Trust Chairman Subhash Kumar said two multilevel car

parkings have been planned in the Port. Urging the Union government to continue the fiscal

stimulus package, Saxena said exports may come down if it was withdrawn. "If the stimulus

package is withdrawn, then the exports may come down. We have been emphasising the need

for extending it", he said adding the demand came down 7.5 per cent in countries like Russia

due to the global meltdown.

Hyundai Motor India Ltd. (HMIL) has said that it is confident of adding 10 new markets to its

export map in 2010. Currently, HMIL cars are sent to 110countries.

52
Sales promotion is one of the four aspects of promotional mix. (The other three parts of

the promotional mix are advertising, personal selling, and publicity/public relations.) Media

and non-media marketing communication are employed for a pre-determined, limited time

to increase consumer demand, stimulate market demand or improve product availability.

Examples include:

o contests

o point of purchase displays

o rebates

o free travel, such as free flights

Sales promotions can be directed at either the customer, sales staff, or distribution channel

members (such as retailers). Sales promotions targeted at the consumer are called consumer

sales promotions. Sales promotions targeted at retailers and wholesale are called trade sales

promotions. Some sale promotions, particularly ones with unusual methods, are considered

gimmick by many.

Consumer sales promotion techniques

o Price deal: A temporary reduction in the price, such as happy hour.

o Loyal Reward Program: Consumers collect points, miles, or credits for purchases

and redeem them for rewards. Two famous examples are Pepsi Stuff and Advantage.

o Cents-off deal: Offers a brand at a lower price. Price reduction may be a percentage

marked on the package.

o Price-pack deal: The packaging offers a consumer a certain percentage more of the

product for the same price (for example, 25 percent extra).

53
o Coupons: coupons have become a standard mechanism for sales promotions.

o Loss leader: the price of a popular product is temporarily reduced in order to stimulate

other profitable sales

o Free-standing insert (FSI): A coupon booklet is inserted into the local newspaper for

delivery.

o On-shelf couponing: Coupons are present at the shelf where the product is available.

o Checkout dispensers: On checkout the customer is given a coupon based on products

purchased.

o On-line couponing: Coupons are available on line. Consumers print them out and take

them to the store.

o Mobile couponing: Coupons are available on a mobile phone. Consumers show the

offer on a mobile phone to a salesperson for redemption.

o Online interactive promotion game: Consumers play an interactive game associated

with the promoted product. See an example of the Interactive Internet Ad for tomato

ketchup.

o Rebates: Consumers are offered money back if the receipt and barcode are mailed to

the producer.

o Contests/sweepstakes/games: The consumer is automatically entered into the event

by purchasing the product.

o Point-of-sale displays:-

• Aisle interrupter: A sign that juts into the aisle from the shelf.

• Dangler: A sign that sways when a consumer walks by it.

54
• Dump bin: A bin full of products dumped inside.

• Glorifier: A small stage that elevates a product above otherproducts.

• Wobbler: A sign that jiggles.

• Lipstick Board: A board on which messages are written incrayon.

• Necker: A coupon placed on the 'neck' of a bottle.

• YES unit: "your extra salesperson" is a pull-out fact sheet.

Trade sales promotion techniques

o Trade allowances: short term incentive offered to induce a retailer tostock up on a

product.

o Dealer loader: An incentive given to induce a retailer to purchase and display a

product.

o Trade contest: A contest to reward retailers that sell the most product.

o Point-of-purchase displays: Extra sales tools given to retailers to boostsales.

o Training programs : dealer employees are trained in selling the product.

o Push money: also known as "spiffs". An extra commission paid toretail employees

to push products.

Trade discounts (also called functional discounts): These are payments todistribution

channel members for performing some function .

55
POLITICAL ISSUE

Sales promotions have traditionally been heavily regulated in many advanced industrial

nations, with the notable exception of the United States. For example, the United Kingdom

formerly operated under a resale price maintenance regime in which manufacturers could

legally dictate the minimum resale price for virtually all goods; this practice was abolished

in 1964.

Most European countries also have controls on the scheduling and permissible types of

sales promotions, as they are regarded in those countries as bordering upon unfair business

practices. Germany is notorious for having the most strict regulations. Famous examples

include the car wash that was barred from giving free car washes to regular customers and

a baker who could not give a free cloth bag to customers who bought more than 10 rolls.

PROMOTIONAL MIX

There are four main aspects of a promotional mix. These are:

Advertising- Any paid presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an

identified sponsor. Examples: Print ads, radio, television, billboard, direct mail, brochures

and catalogs, signs, in-store displays, posters, motion pictures, Web pages, banner ads, and

emails.

Personal Selling - A process of helping and persuading one or more prospects to purchase

a good or service or to act on any idea through the use of an oral presentation. Examples:

Sales presentations, sales meetings, sales training and incentive programs for intermediary

salespeople, samples, and telemarketing. Can be face-to-face or via telephone.

56
Promotions- Incentives designed to stimulate the purchase or sale of a product, usually in

the short term. Examples: Coupons, sweepstakes, contests, product samples, rebates, tie-

ins, self-liquidating premiums, trade shows, trade-ins, and exhibitions.

Public relations - Paid intimate stimulation of supply for a product, service, or business

unit by planting significant news about it or a favorable presentation of it in the media.

Examples: Newspaper and magazine articles/reports, TVs and radio presentations,

charitable contributions, speeches, issue advertising, and seminars.

CHAPTER - 3

OBJECTIVE OF THE TOPIC

58
Objective of the Study

Based on the problem the objective of the research is divided into two whichare as follows:

 To analyze brand loyalty of customers towards the company’s products range.

 Analyze consumer satisfaction and sales promotion of Hyundai for different cars.

 Analyses the after sales service provided by company.

 Scope of the Study

In the dynamic automotive industry, the influence of advertisements and sales strategies on

car buyers is a subject of significant interest. This study aims to delve into the multifaceted

ways in which advertising campaigns and sales techniques shape consumers' decisions

when purchasing a vehicle. By examining both psychological and practical aspects, this

research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of marketing efforts

on car buyers.

Advertising's Psychological Influence:

Advertisements play a pivotal role in shaping consumers' perceptions of a car brand.

Through carefully crafted visuals, narratives, and messaging, advertisers aim to evoke

emotions and create a lasting impression. A successful advertising campaign can create a

sense of aspiration, associating a particular car model with lifestyle and identity. This

emotional connection often influences potential buyers to lean towards a specific brand.

Moreover, the psychological impact of advertisements extends to the perceived value of a

vehicle. Clever marketing can highlight unique features, cutting-edge technology, or

environmental sustainability, influencing consumers to attribute a higher value to the

advertised vehicle.

Sales Strategies and Decision-Making:

While advertisements set the stage, sales strategies are the actors in the theater of car

purchasing decisions. The sales process involves various elements, such as dealer

interactions, promotions, financing options, and after-sales services. These factors

collectively contribute to a buyer's overall experience and, consequently, influence their

decision-making process.

Dealerships play a crucial role, as the interactions between sales representatives and

potential buyers can significantly impact the customer's perception of the brand and the

vehicle. A knowledgeable and courteous sales team can enhance the overall buying

experience, building trust and loyalty.

Promotional offers and financing options are additional elements that can sway a buyer's

decision. Limited-time promotions, discounts, or favorable financing terms often serve as

compelling incentives, accelerating the decision-making process and converting potential

buyers into actual customers.

60
The Role of Reviews and Social Influence:

In the age of digital connectivity, online reviews and social media play a vital role in

shaping consumer opinions. Prospective car buyers frequently turn to reviews and

recommendations from peers on platforms such as social media, forums, and review

websites. Positive reviews can reinforce the effectiveness of advertising efforts and sales

strategies, while negative reviews can quickly erode consumer trust.

CHAPTER-9

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

90
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

1. Illiteracy Hindrance:

The survey faced a notable limitation due to the prevalence of illiteracy among

participants, resulting in a time-consuming process that required continuous guidance

throughout.

2. Uncertainty in Responses:

The questionnaire method, while widely used, introduced an element of uncertainty in

responses. Obtaining cooperation from informants proved challenging in certain cases,

possibly affecting the reliability of the collected data.

3. Time Constraint:

The project had a restricted timeframe, limited to 10 weeks, primarily conducted for

academic purposes. This time constraint may have impacted the depth and breadth of the

study, potentially limiting the thorough exploration of certain aspects.

4. Limited Scope:

91
The study was confined to a specific duration and academic context, possibly restricting

the generalizability of findings beyond the defined parameters. The narrow focus may

omit broader socio-economic or cultural factors that could influence the study outcomes.

5. Possibility of Inaccurate Information:

As with any survey, there exists the inherent risk that information supplied by informants

may be inaccurate. This potential inaccuracy could introduce a level of bias or error into

the study, impacting the overall precision and reliability of the results.

6. Sampling Bias:

The sample group might not be fully representative of the broader population due to

potential sampling bias. This limitation could affect the study's external validity, making

it challenging to generalize the findings to a larger context.

7. Resource Constraints:

Limitations in terms of available resources, both in terms of time and financial means,

may have impacted the comprehensiveness of the survey design and execution.

8. Social Desirability Bias:

Respondents may have been inclined to provide socially desirable answers rather than

92
expressing their true opinions or experiences, leading to a potential bias in the collected

data.

9. Technology Constraints:

If the survey heavily relied on technology, factors such as limited access to devices or

technological literacy among participants could have introduced barriers, affecting the

inclusivity of the study.

10. Ethical Considerations:

The study may have faced ethical dilemmas, such as ensuring informed consent,

maintaining confidentiality, and addressing any potential harm or discomfort experienced

by participants during the survey process.

These limitations collectively underscore the complexity and multifaceted nature of survey-

based research, emphasizing the need for careful consideration and interpretation of results

within the context of these constraints.
