11. CHALLENGES FACED
• Had to go to each and every outlet for research purposes.
• Found difficulty while coordinating with sales person.
• Retailers were not ready to give responses properly.
• Only word of mouth was not sufficient to make the sales due to lack of
awareness.
• The retailers trust the brand Ashirwaad more than Devaaya

12. Reasons For Delay In Delivery Of Orders Generated:
• Unavailability of the stock.
• Fault in communication system.
• No proper attention given by distributor
Reasons Of Product Returns:
• Expired product delivery.
• Lack of proper packing.
• Pilling of stock.

13. FACTORS WHICH DRIVE CUSTOMER’S /
RETAILER’S BUYING BEHAVIOR: -
• Initially Devaaya Atta was launched at a higher price than its
rivals so the customers did not prefer it.
• People were not aware about Devaaya due to lack of enough
advertising.
• Its rival (Ashirwad Atta) has made a significant place in the
market, which is considered as tasty and healthy by the
customers.
• People usually don’t want to switch to a new product.

14. RESPONSE OFTHE CUSTOMERS
Devaaya Atta has not been able to meet its targeted customers
due to lack of advertisement. When we asked the retailers the
reasons for not keeping Devaaya Atta in their outlets, they said
that the customers prefer Ashirvaad Atta more and most of the
customers are not aware of Devaaya
But after the taste, there mindset regarding Devaaya really
changed, and they demanded for more.

15. IDEAL CALL TO MAKE SALES:

3. Stock check
• Permission for stock check
• Availability of products

-Substitute product
4. Calculations and suggestions

16. PITICHING
• Sales pitch of seniors- “Devaaya atta is made of MP wheat of selected
regions and is free from pesticides and a lot of harmful chemicals. So, it is
pure and safe to use”
• My pitch-“Sir, Devaaya atta is specifically tasted and free from over 500
impurities which is done and verified by German laboratories. So, it is
healthy and safe.”
• My pitch when didn’t receive any order-“sir, this is a product of LT foods
whose flagship product is Dawaat. So, you can trust the product”

17. Process of Trade Interventions to get Shelf Space:
• To attract the retailers, there was a scheme for them. If they
purchase 1 katta (1 katta=50kgs) of worth 10kgs, they will get a
relaxation of rs8 per packets. And if they purchase 1katta of
5kgs, they will get relaxation of Rs.4 per packets.
• The scheme was successful to some extent, as they were able to
save cost. But still there were retailers who do not want to take
the risk as they were well aware of customers preferences and
have the fear what if they cannot sell the products to their
customers.

18. CONCLUSION
The products of Devaaya are not known to their customers. What
we feel after so much of survey is that it needs advertising so that
it could reach its customers. LT foods is a good company, it
delivers good products. In fact people do not know LT Foods but
they know it by Dawaat. So, Devaaya too needs good campaigns
so that it become successful like Dawaat.
