3. Methodology 

Preface to describe problems 

The total size of Indian Industry beverages (including soft drinks and noncarbonated) is Rs.7500 crore. Although the majority of them (80%) by the segment of soft drinks is dominated, fruit drinks which is Rs.1000 crore Rs.1500 crore value represented by the other non-carbonated segment. It is therefore a great market potential considering that there are not many national players compete on that front. Nimbu Pani (lemon water) is a huge segment, and it is to guess for anyone to get the exact size of the market difficult. 

Pani India Nimbu always been most frequently consumed beverage cold. Packed nimbu Pani has enormous growth potential, higher than other beverages in the out-of-home / on-the-go consumer segment, especially on a big change in consumer behavior. Today, consumers look for beverage hygiene, comfort, refreshing taste, affordability and availability of the year. 

In 2009, Parle Agro started LMN [short for Lemon] Only a week after Nimbooz gone live. The challenge for Parliament Agro was the packaging of a product while preserving its natural taste fresh and original throughout his life. In the past 20 years, Parle Agro is the market leader in fruit was, they were constantly on the preferences of the Indian mind in formulating products that meet the Indian palate kept. A thorough search was on to the consumer Nimbooz validation performed. LMN, the other not 

Market test began, carried out but after a thorough investigation by Agro Speak internal R & D team are currently only speculation Nimbooz happens to be the market leader with close to LMN. 

LMN is a drink of fresh lemon juice, no artificial flavors and real lime juice, LMN provides consumers with a healthy, refreshing drink with the goodness of vitamin C. LMN takes a fresh look at refreshing lemon. The amount of vitamin C in LMN is equal to two whole lemons. Lemons, as such, are rich in vitamin C (antioxidant) and potassium, which have lost the ability to replenish vital body fluids. A drink with lemon and rehydrated the light on the stomach. This is a perfect refresher for every situation.It is for lovers of sweet. As a non-carbonated drinks they receive on-Cola beverages in terms of health. Bad news for food aware that this drink does not promise to be free of grease. 

Ground floor, a glass of nimbu Pani sells for Rs.5. Agri believes that talking with their prices, they are hygienically packed and have nimbu Pani to Rs.5. There is a great opportunity to get in all possible markets, wanted Parle Agro at a price that covers a broad spectrum, so that everyone can afford to be able to LMN. SO works in favor of the NML is the price that it is extremely favorable. 

With a catchy slogan – “. The urgency of the lemon recycling LMN wants a deal with young people and adults strike in today’s environment of fast food and speed dating, the LMN is derived name from the SMS version word lemon. LMN launch a marketing campaign to 360 degrees, including TVC, print ads, point of purchase promotions and was BTL activities supported. Creative Land Asia had designed the brand communication to complete LMN. L branding on the packaging of LMN is bold and striking and will give consumers 

refer to lemons immediately. The distinctive green and yellow makes the block visible and increases its attractiveness shelf. In the provision of PET bottle design is unique LMN out from the rest. 

Description of the research problem 

LMN Speak Agro Nimbooz rejected. Both LMN and Nimbooz positioned as a ready-to-drink, comfortable and hygienic nimbu Pani. HoIver Nimbooz during the “on-the-go hearing before flowering on the positioning of the” finds Indian Ekdum Asli; LMN target group is much more varied than the comparison of Nimbooz. LMN is a healthy drink for young people and adults by presenting the medical benefits of vitamin C in the beverage industry. 

While LMN is a cool drink and natural lemon, are its main competitors Nimbooz the product on the shelves and the house nimbu Pani. Currently nimbu Pani is consumed in stalls on the road or at home. While the road nimbu Pani has hygienic problems, the establishment of a single taste in home nimbu Pani is a task. LMN has targeted these two segments of consumers to turn them into consumer brand nimbu Pani. In addition to these targets arise LMN as a segment of consumers that are simply looking for a healthy, refreshing beverages. 

Talk Agro plans to use the product to introduce the format for a liter and above all to win the consumer market at home. The main objective would be the consumer segment to be home and I would go for the higher package formats. 

The goal is to Speak Agro LMN as a drink at the business class of some of the leading companies in our country and the same drink you find in most rural markets of our country. 

In view of the above information, the consumers, and the goal of Speak Agro, the questions must be answered 

1. What are the consumers of the Internet as the purchase of lemon juice? 

2. An attitude of consumers towards lemon juice has changed? If so, how has it changed? 

3. What is the current perception and attitude of consumers towards Nimbooz and LMN?

Restrictions 

Due to limitations of the study was to get answers from online surveys that is used Convenience sampling was limited and thus the target sample is not completely represent the target group. 

4. Data Analysis 

To measure the attitudes of consumers towards the brand of lemonade, I took the multi-attribute attitude model of Fishbein. I first the attributes that I want to understand the attitude of consumers and then I have developed appropriate measures for evaluating each attribute identified. Then I measured how consumers think the brand specified attribute. 

All measurements are on a 5-point scale, not taken a 7-point scale, because India is not a developed market.

The results show that the date of manufacture, refreshing and refreshing existing product attributes are most desirable. Similarly, attribute preservatives This product is extremely undesirable in the lemon juice. This indicates that, the quality of preservatives and better product quality, an inverse relationship. 

The overall result shows good Nimbooz characterized by consumers, because it gets better faith combined score on all attributes compared to LMN. As shown, LMN Score 0 reviews two of the most coveted Internet knowledge. Date of manufacture and refreshing. LMN scores a rating of 0 

on most of the attributes that consumers do not believe that LMN has the attributes that means for their products.

As you can see has fallen to 66% of the sample population Nimbooz while only 40% of LMN. Similarly, believes 48% of the sample of the population that consumption Nimbooz they feel relaxed, while only 30% said the same thing after drinking LMN.This shows once again that Nimbooz as a brand has a better taste in the target group compared to LMN. Nimbooz has a better chance to achieve brand loyalty and brand resonance with respect to LMN. This can be partly for the benefit of the first Nimbooz and brand equity of the brand Pepsi parent who is perceived more as a global brand and has become a better brand value ascribed to talk to non-alcoholic beverages in the category. 

Conative component: 

Finally, I measured the conative component of attitude of the population sample to understand what the consumer behavior, when it is time to buy the product comes. No product can be a success in the market, despite scoring higher on cognitive and affective components, if people refuse to buy the product.

As you can see, Nimbooz again achieved very high regard purchasing preferences (74%) compared with LMN (39%). How to buy almost twice the population Nimbooz the next time they wanted lemonade. In addition, said almost 76% of the sample of the population they are now Nimbooz versus 39% for LMN. This implies that there is a high probability that two market share would be compared to LMN Nimbooz. So on the challenge to dethrone Nimbooz NML and the No. 1 brand is very difficult. 

5. Media habits of target group 

Based on the age group of the population sample, one can see that almost 88% of the target brand lemonade between the group 16-30 years. Almost 95% are graduates / post-graduate. About 48% were earning salaries of more than 20,000 per month, representing the employee population. Almost 39% of salary <5000 which also includes students who receive pocket money from their parents, but represent the majority of consumers of the brand lemonade. 

Media habits: 

The study, “A beta of young lives,” says a report of four young people aged 12-24, that they first see or hear about brands or products of TV commercials and say, 60% of TV advertising, a role in their decisions mark. The appearance of a mark on television student status and gives a good image among young people, the study says. Young people also tend to trust television, with the majority of young people, they have a favorites list, they always reported melody. Although television is important for young people themselves, it is also one of the dominant youth online scene both TV and online media are becoming increasingly interdependent, MTVNI said. The media contributes to the purchase, if the study shows that branding is more important to television, while the information and more online validation. 

Research shows that the online world plays a major role in the process of the marks, with 71% agreement that the Internet you can easily choose a brand, while blogs, websites, and review social networking sites are more important decisions that the brand. For example, the reviews of the fourth location of the most important factor for the movie (friends, TV and movie listings) and they play an equally important role as official websites where young people are turning the purchase of electronic products.Research shows that exercise, unlike Europe, where young people associate a brand with a label or a simple logo, a mark as a young Indian, a trend that will help protect you and “choose the right thing.”
