INTRODUCTION

CEMENT INDUSTRY

The cement industry presents one of the most energy-intensive sectors within the India economy

and is therefore of particular interest in the context of both local and global environmental

discussions. Increases in productivity through the adoption of more efficient and cleaner

technologies in the manufacturing sector will be effective in merging economic, environmental,

and social development objectives.A historical examination of productivity growth in India’s

Industries embedded into a broader analysis of structural.

Composition and policy changes will help identify potential future development strategies that

lead toward a more sustainable development path. Issues of productivity growth and patterns of

sustainable development cement sector as well assign other energy Intensive Industries in India

have been discussed form various perspectives. Historical estimates vary form indicating an

improvement to a decline in the sector’s productivity. The variation depends mainly on the time

period considered, the source of data, the type of indices and econometric specifications used

reporting productivity growth. Regarding patterns of substitution most analyses fusion Interfile

substitution possibilities in the context of rising energy demand. Not much research has been

conducted on patterns of substitution among the primary and secondary input actors: capital,

labor , energy and materials. However, analyzing the use and substitution.

Possibilities of these factors as well as identifying the main drivers of productivity growth among

these and other factors is of special importance for understanding technological and overall

development of an Industry.

CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND

BRAND

The American Marketing Association defines a brand as a "Name, term, design, symbol, or any

other feature that identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers."

A brand can take many forms, including a name, sign, symbol, colour combination or slogan.

The word branding began simply as a way to tell one person's cattle from another by means of a

hot iron stamp. The word brand has continued to evolve to encompass identity — it affects the

personality of a product, company or service. It is defined by a perception, good or bad, that your

customers or prospects have about you.

Brand is the personality that identifies a product, service or company (name, term, sign, symbol,

or design, or combination of them) and how it relates to key constituencies: customers, staff,

partners, investors etc.

Some people distinguish the psychological aspect, brand associations like thoughts, feelings,

perceptions, images, experiences, beliefs, attitudes, and so on that become linked to the brand, of

a brand from the experiential aspect.

The experiential aspect consists of the sum of all points of contact with the brand and is known

as the brand experience. The brand experience is a brand's action perceived by a person. The

psychological aspect, sometimes referred to as the brand image, is a symbolic construct created

within the minds of people, consisting of all the information and expectations associated with a

product, service or the company(ies) providing them.

People engaged in branding seek to develop or align the expectations behind the brand

experience, creating the impression that a brand associated with a product or service has certain

qualities or characteristics that make it special or unique. A brand is therefore one of the most

valuable elements in an advertising theme, as it demonstrates what the brand owner is able to

27

offer in the marketplace. The art of creating and maintaining a brand is called brand

management. Orientation of the whole organization towards its brand is called brand orientation.

The brand orientation is developed in responsiveness to market intelligence.

Careful brand management seeks to make the product or services relevant to the target audience.

Brands should be seen as more than the difference between the actual cost of a product and its

selling price - they represent the sum of all valuable qualities of a product to the consumer.

A brand which is widely known in the marketplace acquires brand recognition. When brand

recognition builds up to a point where a brand enjoys a critical mass of positive sentiment in the

marketplace, it is said to have achieved brand franchise. Brand recognition is most successful

when people can state a brand without being explicitly exposed to the company's name, but

rather through visual signifiers like logos, slogan's, and colours. For example, Disney has been

successful at branding with their particular script font (originally created for Walt Disney's

"signature" logo), which it used in the logo for go.com.

Consumers may look on branding as an aspect of products or services, as it often serves to

denote a certain attractive quality or characteristic (see also brand promise). From the perspective

of brand owners, branded products or services also command higher prices. Where two products

resemble each other, but one of the products has no associated branding (such as a generic, store-

branded product), people may often select the more expensive branded product on the basis of

the quality of the brand or the reputation of the brand owner.

Promotion

Promotion is one of the four elements of marketing mix (product, price, promotion, and place). It

is the communication link between sellers and buyers for the purpose of influencing, informing,

or persuading a potential buyer's purchasing decision.[1]

The specification of five elements creates a promotional mix or promotional plan. These

28

elements are personal selling, advertising, sales promotion, direct marketing, and publicity.[2] A

promotional mix specifies how much attention to pay to each of the five subcategories, and how

much money to budget for each. A promotional plan can have a wide range of objectives,

including: sales increases, new product acceptance, creation of brand equity, positioning,

competitive retaliations, or creation of a corporate image. Fundamentally, however there are

three basic objectives of promotion. These are:[3]

1. To present information to consumers as well as others

2. To increase demand

3. To differentiate a product.

There are different ways to promote a product in different areas of media. Promoters use internet

advertisement, special events, endorsements, and newspapers to advertise their product. Many

times with the purchase of a product there is an incentive like discounts, free items, or a contest.

This is to increase the sales of a given product.

The term "promotion" is usually an "in" expression used internally by the marketing company,

but not normally to the public or the market - phrases like "special offer" are more common.

SUGGESTIONS :

1. If J.P. want to enhance his image and his sale then J.P. should continue increase his

technical promotional activities like mesons meet, builders meet.

2. J.P should also increase distribution of gift and dealers meeting because they want

something extra, gift item is one of the tool to promote brand.

3. Gift item should be based on seasons.

4. J.P. is very good on his mass awareness promotions and it must continue on his mass

promotions.

5. Company should give emphasis on these promotions because according to dealers

it is very important. In order to enhancement of brand image

(A) WALL PAINTING

(B) HORDINGS

(C) MESON MEET

(D) EALERS MEET&GIFT ITEMS

6. Influence of the Engineers & Technical staff: The frequent meets with the technical

staff increases the faithfulness and loyalty of dealers and masons towards the brand.

This also explains the masons’ and dealers’ influence on the final consumer. Also I

believe that the negative perception about the Fly Ash is because of this only. So JP

should identify masons, contractors and architects in the city and then hold frequent

technical meets with them. This would help in reducing the negative perception about

the Fly Ash and Slow Setting of JP.

7. Trade Promotion Activities: The dealers should be given diaries, pens and calendars.

Also T-Shirts can be distributed to the masons so that they become more inclined

towards JP Brand.

40

8. Now a day situation has totally change person have no time to make his home because

they are doing job and indulge in business so they are hiring the builders and

contractor so J.P. should meet regularly with both of them.

9. According to me if J.P. wants to enhance his image then J.P. should work for city and

help to develop infrastructure facilities in the cities.

Conclusion

During 2 months of my training I have studied the various strategies of Cement brand

positioning for generating awareness among the people. As such all- promotional tools are

effective. Promotional department plays a significant role in Cement brand building. It

generates high revenue for company. It plays a crucial role in making awareness to the

general public. They offer variety of good quality product, which lure the customers for

buying. It produce new brand time to time according to the latest trend.

The amendment in the personnel of the company and any achievement of the company due to

their valuable contribution leads to enhance the moral of the employees.

The company conducted the customer satisfaction survey to strengthens relationship with the

customers. This will help the company on three ways:

Firstly; it will let company know where it lacksof , how it could be rectified.

Secondly; it make the customers feel they are important for the company and lastly, in

assessment of the sales executives performance.

About the Cement industry: The Indian Cement is also increasing in manner. The main

reason behind this is the ever-developing Indian economy. With the economic development,

the frequencies of the changing Infrastructure in Cement sector have increased tremendously

because of the old players are increasing their capacity and new players are emerging at a

rapid rate. Although the new players cannot harm the old once but what they can do is that

they can eat away some of the market share of the old companies. Thus, big players take this

point into consideration and develop their strategies.

42

During my project I have realized that the India has vast potential for the Cement Industry

and it needs aggressive marketing strategies to tap the untouched areas and to withhold

position in the market.

Theoretical aspect: - Most of the sellers are selling JAYPEE CEMENT, PRISM

CHAMPION, ACC and BIRLA SAMRAT. Because costumers more emphasis on JAYPEE

and PRISM Company. Costumer also has faith in these companies. And all sellers well have

known about these big giants.

Analysis, Finding:- I found that customers are more determined on feature of the product

and benefits. I also found that some customers are having brand awareness like ACC,

PRISM, JAYPEE and BIRLA.
